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

Nice!

Wanting is one thing, but actually getting is another. I think bed stiffeners will need to come first, and I'm still putting those off.
I did just wire the LED pods that I mounted in that bumper, and they're amazing (for Chinese knock-offs).
...and yes, I used one of those switches I showed you.

 

Hi Sir, can you make a step by step detailing process of your engine bay? What products did you use? Thanks.

 

Same stuff I used on my skid plate. Tough and still no scratches after 2 years

 

I do not. It's a pelfreybilt panel with a blue sea fuse box and breaker.

Wired up by the one and only @txtaco87 at one of our meets.

Hey!!! You can call me Chad

***** please keep in mind I do not drive my truck in mud (so it's really not that dirty to begin with)

This is with a relatively cool engine.

1. Open hood
2. Gently rinse with water
3. Wipe down
4. Spray on a layer of 50/50 mix simple green and water
5. Watch dirt and grime slide off engine components onto ground
6. Gently rinse
7. Close hood
8. Go for a quick spin around the block
9. Wipe down
10. Dry
11. Very thin layer of 303 applied after its fully dry

This is all subject to how much actual dirt and grime you have in there.

A session with a scrub brush or other tools for the job may be necessary between steps 5 & 6

 

But sir your truck NEVER gets dirty.

 

Thanks Chad! Now I need to buy the 303 spray and Simple Green degreaser.

 

​

Technically, lots of dust particles together could be considered 'dirt'

​

Anytime! I'm fairly novice in my detailing but I do take a whole lot of pride in it!

It a mostly just time, how much are you willing to donate to the cause...ya know?

Although, the Simple Green makes the job much easier.

 

Got rid of my chrome grill.

 

I remember that day like it was yesterday!

​

 

Clean and dress my Leather seats and all the other stuff in there lol ..

 

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOÖ MŪCH BËTER!!!!!!!!

 

Waiting on mine to show up! Hows the fit?

 

Took the cap off for the summer.
Then stared/gawked at it while manning the grill

 

looks good! I'm about to do the same to mine... gotta get the paint later today.

 

Installed Weathertechs and Wet Okoles!

 

So I figured it out, incredibly simple fix... the light bar was plugged into the driver side fog light

Although I'm still confused how the light bar and d. side fog was still able to turn on, considering the light bar and fog lights wiring harnesses are completely separated

Oh well, issue resolved so I'll count my lucky stars... thanks for offering to help though!!

 

And yesterday took the pup to a swimming hole. Realized how bad I needed the covers and weather techs. Thus, my previous post. Lmao

 

Almost done making my tool mounts, I'm going off BENSON X's DIY TOOL MOUNT THREAD
Steel bent, ground down and the paint is drying:


I'll be mounting this axe, and that small shovel:

 

I did my chrome grill moulding with a vinyl wrap. Had a local window tint shop do the work. It took a total of 70 minutes, and that was removing the grill assembly, vinyl wrapped, and reinstall grill assembly. $20 for the vinyl $70 for install.

 

Did you try once those orange escapers ?
What was your experience.?
I tried them twice in very bad conditions, with no results.
Sure, when watching on youtube, it works well, on gentle mud and flat terrain.......
