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

I looked at oznium, but decided on these because I wanted something a little different and a little brighter.

I wired them in as described in this thread. They are wired to the green parking light wire. I may try to figure out how to wire them to the DRLs as well though. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-raptor-style-lights.293647/

 

Yep that's what i did the last time thanks ordering now

 

No problem. Happy to help.
Just an FYI, be careful when drilling the holes for them. I didn't take into account initially how tall the bolt was. I couldn't get the bolt in the holes closest to the outer edges because of the curve of the grille. I had to drill a new hole for one of them.

 

Thanks! yeah the ozniums were a pita to get mounted as well. They're ordered now I have something to look forward to next week. I may look at a different way to mount as my center hoop blocks them a little but we'll see

 

Yea, it took me a minute, but I got it figured out. I really only wanted to have 3 lights in the grille, but the stock emblem is in the way. Hopefully they turn out well for you.

 

I had to do 4 the last time it's fine they look good. I always thought the ozniums were nice but not quite as bright as I'd like. I ordered 5 just in case.

 

I forgot IDK how you wired them but I put a quick connect in the wires so I could remove the grill when needed

 

I wired them up just like the DIY raptor lights thread. I wanted to use quick disconnects, but I didn't have any in the tool box. I left enough wire that I can remove the grille and have a little play. I'll eventually get a couple quick disconnects and put them in line.

 

This was the old truck with the ozniums you can see what I'm saying abot the center hoop. Oh well it'll work out

 

Yea, I see what you mean. Still looks good though. The brighter LEDs may show a little more though,

 

Red Sharpie?

 

Been thinking about getting one of these to haul the snowblower now that I have a canopy on the bed.

 

Finally finished my sound project. Sound deadening, closed cell foam, and mass loaded vinyl on my floors, walls, door and ceiling. Such a pain in the ass but so worth it . Super sore, close to 40+ hours into this.

 

Installed new fan belts and water pump.

 

Moved into the new house. Changed the oil and rotated the tires.

 

I drain a few oz's out every oil chage, nasty smelling brownish oil like junk...thats not getting back to the intake

 

Dang man, put those tires under the frame just in case your jack stands fail.

 

I REALLY want to do this.

 

Ditto!

 

Debadge doors and rear tailgate along with gauge cluster swap. Pix later.
