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

Can see what you used...It looks great, I need to do this to my truck...where did you buy it from

 

Do you have a link to those headlights?? Also how do you like them?

 

I have had them for a week and everyday I still do a double take when I walk away from my truck. Changes the look night and day and it was a huge upgrade with the projectors. If you want more info I did a write up here, if you have questions or want to order hit up Erick he will set you up. (all the info you will need is in the thread)

 

yeah I thought the first pic was after cleaning.
tells you how dirty mine is.


I got a can of that gunk; I have got to find a day to get under there and spray it down

 

I ordered the covers off eBay. I'll report back next week when everything gets delivered and I have time to install.

Are you talking about the engine clean cause I am wondering the same thing too

 

Didn't get any PMs for help so I figured you either had it or got fried! Looks good!

 

Can someone do me a huge favor and take a picture of the connection for the lines on their transmission cooler behind the grill. I have circled the specific connection I am most interested in in red in my photo.



Currently going rounds with my insurance regarding the repair of my truck after I hit the deer last year, and I need to see what an unmolested connection looks like.

 

On my 13 that's what I have.

 

I went out to take a picture and it created a question for me. If the tow package adds the transmission cooler do they still route the original trans lines into the radiator. I have the cooler plus lines going into/out of the radiator.

 

I am just trying to see if the raised bit of metal is visible on an unmolested connection...I don't think it should be, which leads me to believe my connection had been pulled off the metal nipple slightly.

I believe they do...IIRC I saw a thread on here discussing the need remove the cross connections because of internal failures in the radiator causing damage...

 

No electrical fire occurred... yet. Thanks again for the tips

 

Great idea, just ordered a USB port for this mod.

 

You did a great job. Truck looks awesome!

 

Went to re-install my headache rack this past weekend. Had been waiting on some t-nuts that I ordered off of Amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B072LTS12Z/ref=pe_3034960_236394800_TE_3p_dp_1) to mount the thing to the rails. Once the t-nuts were in, I began mounting the thing only to find out that the nuts were made of really low quality soft metal, and the damn things started deforming on me. Quickly ended up with a bunch of bolts stuck in the now deforemed nuts. Removing my bolts basically destroyed them, and the nuts themselves ended up bending and deforming my bed rails. I'm hoping that I can re-shape my bed rails relatively easily, but definitely ended up two steps backwards this time around! Do yourselves a favour and don't order the nuts linked above!!!

Hoping this will be an easy fix - doesn't look too bad but I don't know?!

 

So got this from a local, Wheelers U bolt flip kit without bumpstops, he's using the bumpstops but because he's running a spacer and aal, he needed longer u bolts so the flip kit won't work. Picked up for $60 which is awesome! He's been on here but I can't find his username to thank him. Just adding more parts to the pile. Going to do everything at once, thought I would go LT, but need the money elsewhere so Maxtracs, 5100's, new LCA's, SPC UCA's when I find some for a good price, rear aal maybe, extended rear shocks, etc. Lots of things still to get, going to do everything at once.

 

Thanks bro
