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

Installed this today (picture was taken before the install). Now I don’t have to worry about forgetting my radio everytime I go wheeling with buddies.

 

I got the same switch... and tried to wire it up using the fusible link that was provided with my lights. Unfortunately, my switch melted!! I ordered another, and was told to ensure I use a relay in my wiring setup in order to ensure there is not so much voltage going to the switch. Did you do this?

 

Installed ditch lights an rago ditch brackets

 

Got my cheapo LED bar sealed with silicone sealant, hoping it gives me 6-12 months, anything more a I’ll be happy.

 

How improved is the output? Is it brighter or just whiter?

Looks good, at least .

Great place.
Just don't drink while you're wheeling!

 

Judging from that picture it's not putting out the claimed "1600 lumens" MAYBE 1600 for a set.. But I got these (

GBAuto GBAuto-w5dxw T10 car led

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K3GBRQ2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) For $20 and they are definitely brighter than stock as well as pure white. Doesn't wash out rear dash cam and would help if you had heavy tint (compared to stock).

 

Both brighter and more white... Can actually see to back up without opening the driver's window... Have pretty dark tinted windows.
Wish I had done before and after shots in the dark

 

You pretty much beat me to the set up I plan on doing once I get my SPOD installed. Rago fab gen2 ditch mounts and Black Oak LED. How do you like those pods? And what options did you get?

 

Damn I have dents all over every panel.. even the roof this is going to be expensive

 

Yay luck me -_-

 

Most ARB's, those lights in the bumper will melt because they're designed to be turn signals and not on all the time. YMMV

 

That's why I swapped the incandescent bulbs with led's. Hoping to mitigate the heating up of the bulbs. Thanks for looking out! Inesshell did the swap and his are holding up well

 

Oh, cool. You should be good with LED's. I've seen a ton of guys in the 80 series world melt them. Looks good! I know there's lots of hate towards the ARB but I had one on my FZJ80 and it served me very well. Not sure if the anchor points on the Taco version are the same but on the 80's they need to be beefed up before doing any hard pulls.

 

Added:
- Mobtown Sliders - Many thanks to Joseph at Mobtown for working with me to ship to Hawaii. Talk about solid stuff.
- OME Lift (885 coils, Nitrochargers all around, HS progressive AAL - net 2.5" upfront and 2" in the back) - Marie @ Headstrong helped A LOT. Great pricing and service.
- SPC UCA's
- New tires (265/75 R16 BFG KO2's)

And took her off-roading with the new items.




Mounted on my truck (pre lift)


Took her to South Point and Green Sands Beach (post lift)




The Beach...it's greener in person.

 

Got my vibration issue fixed shaft balanced and straightened smooth as glass.

 

You must only dabble in the 2nd gen world. And it's spelled America if you want to show respect.

 

Glad they worked out for you. you wont regret going led, ive had a few of the halogens go out over the years and got tired of asking arb to send me replacements. Leds should last you some time and draw less current/heat.

 

Anyone using this outfit for LED source?
