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

Fresh rubbers and repainted wheels are on.



I finally got to use my OBA, to top the tires off. The modified MV50 compressor worked perfect for what I needed.

I also ordered the 24 pin connector and terminals to add a camera to my headunit. Ive decided against moving the camera from the rearview mirror down to the headunit.

Instead, I plan on installing 2 aftermarket cameras - a front view and a rear view. I plan on controlling them via DPDT switch, some diodes, and some relays. That way I can toggle between the rear view (default) and a front view with a flip of a switch. I need to sort out the wiring for this now.

Do round LED lights and just put the KC covers on em. You'll get the look your after and much better performance.

 

Installed a brand new OEM receiver hitch

 

God bless those wheels. That's the exact look I want, might skip plastidip and just go for it. What did you use and what's your process? They look amazing.

 

Wheels turned out awesome man good looking truck for sure!

 

Thanks. Appreciate it.

I posted the process a few days ago...

Heres the post again -

The paint I used is Dupicolor - https://duplicolor.com/product/wheel-coating - graphite and gloss clear.

I used a half of can of color and clear on each wheel face. Follow the instructions on the cans.

 

Ha, I think I asked you about this before! Gonna give this a shot, that color with black will look rad. They were derped for a bit but it's too much black and the matte just looked bad. Thanks for the info!

 

What fender flares are those, they look good. And do you like'm?

 

These are dark, but you can still see the detail of the wheels unlike a black painted wheel. I think they are the perfect alternative.

 

IIRC @JD'STaco installed a set similar to them, I don't remember if they were N-Fab or not. I'm sure he will tell you what brand his are.

 

Reached 50k as soon as I parked it at work

 

They were N-fab.

 

Shorty.....

AntennaX Off-Road (13") Antenna for Toyota Tacoma

Did you like them once you put them on? Still haven't got to put them on due to the weather

 

Yep, as others have said, they're N-Fab Rock Rails. I don't off-road and I'm not a fan of many of the side steps out there, but I've got a short wife, so I needed something. There's an optional add-on step that makes it a little easier to get in and out of my truck. If you got them for $60 you got a good deal. New they listed for $330.

 

Today I got the new rack and newly painted tool box on the truck

 

Great looking truck! I would go with the round off road lights in LED. LED bars seem to look best inside grills or roof racks. I don't like the look when they are just flat against a raised bar. You can still go LED but keep it old school with the KC Gravity lights

or maybe regular bulbs but with a halo LED

BTW, I wouldn't get anything bigger than 6 inch rounds. I had a set of them on my Ranger for years without issue. Then for some stupid reason I went to the bigger rectangle lights. Damn things vibrated so bad the light pattern make me nauseous. Also, the wind kept repositioning them. Stay with 6 inchers and you'll be good.

 

I say go Smiley's! It's your truck & nobody else's. Do what you want & fits your style!

 

Not today but yesterday did some offroading for the first time on my new suspension wheels and tires. To say the least I was very pleased. Truck handled great the whole way. Big shoutout to @kiahb12 for showing me the trail and helping me through it.
Post trail ride on the way out we were coming around a turn and next thing I see is some backwoods first gen taco in my lane, thank goodness we missed eachother by a few inches or I would have a different post.
All in all dang good time and if anyone is in the western NC region and wants to do an easy and quick offroad trail hit me up!

 

Did a parking lot swap last night for my new Demello bumper!

 

Came out great man! Nice job!
