What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

So....i have neglected to update this thread. I am a neglectful asshole. I guess i should list what i've done in the past 6 months. So here we go.

1. UNI Filter on Secondary Air Compressor.....because why the hell not and it was the hip thing to do at the time.
2. KB Voodoo Crossbars for Tonneau Covers (http://www.kbvoodoo.com/shop/toyota-tacoma-hi-rise-crossbars-for-use-with-tonneau-covers-fits-years-2005-2016 ) Gotta say these are the shit. They are exactly what i wanted at this stage in my truck and work perfectly.
3. Gotta have something to put on the Crossbars right? So went with the YAKIMA Loadwarrior (https://www.yakima.com/loadwarrior) with the Yakima Spare Tire Carrier (https://www.yakima.com/spare-tire-carrier) to hold my Spare as it doesn't like to fit under the truck anymore, and i wanted the use of my bed back.
4. UltraGauge Wired (http://ultra-gauge.com/ultragauge/ultragauge_wired.htm). Wanted to know what kind of mileage i was getting after the lift, and what my real speed was.....seeing as the truck is a rolling brick above 65mph. Used the suction cup mount in the lower left of my windshield. Perfect spot for me. Love this product, don't really use the factory speedo anymore because of it.
5. For the big stuff......Front Bumper: Pelfrybilt Hybrid Steel Bumper (http://www.pelfreybilt.com/product/2012-2015-tacoma-steel-hybrid-front-plate-bumper/) Line-X'ed
6. Threw Some Baja Designs Squadron Pro Wide Cornering LED Pods on for Fogs (https://www.bajadesigns.com/products/squadron-pro-led-wide-cornering.asp) HOLY SHIT ARE THEY BRIGHT. Once my truck gets here to Korea, i'll get some pics of them turned on.

I think that's about it other than driving it across country and shipping it across the world. I'll take pics and post them i swear....and i won't take this long inbetween.

Here's a little dirty flex pic as penance:

 

Kick that bitches (cancer) ass man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I scored them for $50 on kijiji (Canadian). New in the box. They work great, had them on for work yesterday (in the woods) and they keep the mud down a lot more compared to the stock flaps, kinda give that rally look too.

 

The ones I got Are just plug and play. I pulled the bulbs from the sockets, and installed the pigtails from the lights into the sockets, then mounted them to the back of the lights just like the factory light sockets fit into the back of the stock lights. Piece of cake!

 

Just put them on, so I don't really know yet! Haven't had a chance to see, but I don't see why they wouldn't...

 

Nice man! Hoping everything is going well.

 

That's the most recent.


I just noticed your nickname... You're a green belt?

 

Went in for my last toyota care sevice today, and i guess it had expired. She said it only would have covered a tire rotation. If i every buy another brand new one, i will obviously be opting out of toyota care.

 

Added 15whp.

 

Well ToyotaCare is free while it lasts. So IF you trust the dealership, there's no sense opting out.

 

Nothings free.....

 

You should create your own build thread with all these pics!

As far as I know, it's "free" and you cant op out

 

Welcome to Tacoma World! With lots of blood sweat and beers, and a very angry wallet your truck will make the transforming too.

 

Geee I can't remember if my bumper ever looked that clean .... that's sick
This is how it looks now!

 

Thanks! I wash it often and always use the protectants. That should easily clean up with some mag polish. Get that little ball for your drill. 20 min tops.

 

Ha Ha Wash it ( you're funny )...... It's clean Mother nature cleans it for me..

 

Toolbox removed and bed cover installed over the weekend. It already rained this week and things were still dry inside. Also put on windows visors in April.

Next will be some LED lights some time over the summer.

 

Took my back rack and bed rail caps off to paint them. Decided to paint them in Dupli-Color Bed Armour because I'd used it before in other applications with good results. Set up my own little paint studio in the street with some construction pylons I borrowed from work. Still need to paint a couple other items but will probably wait for all the over spray to wear off the asphalt in the street before I make more of a mess!

 

thats a new way of painting them

 

What did you use here?
