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

That sucks ... but your proving the sterotype that SoCal drivers can't drive in the rain

 

@MattCowsmasher added some eyelids to the front end... freaking love my front end now. Just gotta work on that bumper!!!

 

I'm gonna have to pass on this mod.

 

Haha, sounds like something I would say.

 

That’s sweet dewwittt bumper not a hard install just heavy AF. Looking forward to seeing the final pic you gave me some idears up front though not gonna copy ya promise you that.

 

LED backup lights: the brighter/whiter is the LED

 

Took off the nerf bars , bull bar and installed softtopper. Took me about an hour. Bad thing is as I was installing noticed seams splitting in one of my corners. FUCK! Happend before tightening too. Contacted mfg.

Edit: softopper says its normal and will treat with supplied seam sealer.

 

Did the same thing last week to my truck. (Spindle bent a little bit )

 

My spindle has a 90’ angle now lol

 

That's just the Taco lean brah, totally normal lol.

Hopefully you'll make out good with the insurance claim. I hit a cement divider in January and ended up with free Icon extended travels all the way around, free Icon UCA's, free new wheels, free upgraded wheel bearings & hub assemblies up front, and $1,200 in my pocket .

When I say free, of course I've been paying insurance for 21 years, but it sure worked out great for what happened. I asked about all my options and decided to spend the $ on new or upgraded parts instead of body repairs. The body work/paint payout was crazy expensive for how noticeable the damage is (not bad at all). Especially for a 2005 with a lot of off road trail rash already.

Rooting for you bud!

 

Installed the TRD Pro suspension kit and the A-Pillar Ram Mount holder mod. First time doing a "big" project by myself and learned a bunch...tried my hand at working the AAL but nope'd out after 2 hours haha. Project for when finals aren't tomorrow.

 

Order one of these to put in my full-hooped aluminum SOS Concepts bumper when it comes in.

Smittybilt (98510) X2O Waterproof Synthetic Rope Winch - 10000 lb. Load Capacity

 

Had @Tacodriver08 build me a fuel carrier to carry more fuel.

 

Same here. I've removed every badge/emblem (along with huge TRD stickers in this case) from all my vehicles within a day or 2, only exception being my 1968 Firebird. IMO just looks much cleaner without all that busy-ness.

For some reason I find it funny when people advertise the stealership when they leave the license plate boarders on. No offense anyone lol.

 

Just received and mounted a front license plate bracket that user ACEkraut was awesome enough to provide. I'm digging the look of the low mount and super thankful that I don't have to drill holes into my bumper.

 

are you going to put in an LED Bar in there

 

Eventually I am sure I will. These 2nd gen bumpers look made for them. I've owned the truck for just over a year and I am only now getting my feet wet with adding on to it. Threads like this one are getting me motivated.

 

Ya, I’m hoping for the best. Just hoping they don’t total it.

 

Installed the same LED bulbs.
Very bright.
BUT, in the darkness, if going in reverse, the cam blinds you a lot

 

Those look SICK! I saw some on ebay, but I would have to try and paint them and color match myself. wonder if anyone makes them in Barcelona red?
