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

The paint on your truck.... it's in perfect condition. Looks so good, the lights are cool too.

 

Yeah u don’t want it to look like this

 

Just check if the ground is secure, or the box that connects to the bulb
. I had mines go out the first night and found that the silver box that u attach to the bulb was not tightened enough.
Be care!i was taking part couple things before I found it was bad connections. When I did mine I was turning the ring that holds the bulb and the bulb was turning too, literally almost fucked up my bulb

 

Yo, your username is the best lmao

 

Installed my ram mount cell phone holder after adding a wireless charging pad to it. Ram mount secures to the dash using the brackets made by @Lostsheep for a super clean and very sturdy install.

 

idk about that fairlead has that bulky look but i do like it i would do a different fairlead if i was to do it

 

Yeah I find them more useful for my needs than the sliding windows option. I wish I could've gotten both but that would require having a 6 ft. bed or going out west to get a snugtop rebel.

 

Service today .I was going to spray it down today but rain expected .

 

Raining here also, just washed the truck! ​

I have a few observations about headlight moisture. First off, I believe most modern headlights have vents, so trying to completely seal the unit is counter productive. In theory the unit should be self de-fogging since the hot air will push out moisture through the vents. The vents should keep the water from getting back in, but occasionally they can clog or get saturated. I also think the manufacturers coat the inside of the lens with antifog, and that layer is removed when people clean the lens during a mod. I managed to scrape that layer when trying to retrieve a loose bulb in my headlight so I'm pretty sure it's there. This keeps the water from forming mini droplets which causes the fogging. Even a tiny drop of water can cause a huge amount of fogging and it will keep cycling around in the headlights if it can't vent out. I would suggest any modder to use a plastic safe anti-fog and to make sure the vents are clean.

Edit - I'm also concerned about "baking" the headlights and what damage this does to the spongy material in the vents. If it's designed as a filter, then perhaps any heat could fuse it into a solid plug.

 

Called Toyota to see how much the 30k maintenance is for our T4R. Was quoted $322. I told them I would call back and schedule an appointment but I was lying

 

What all is in the 30k maintenance? Oil, filters and maybe plugs?!

 

That and diffs and tcase. She also said the inspect the exhaust and take it for a drive to make sure everything is good

 

I'll do all that for you for $150

 

Those who changed out the climate control knobs, have you noticed that since it's been getting colder they slide off with ease, or is that just me?

 

thank you. that was probably it. after swapping out the ballasts and making sure they're tight all is good. hopefully it stays that way.
