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

dropped in Halo projectors

 

Crap, didn't realize that their kit only contains 2 of them. I hope they can update the order, or I'll have to pay another set of shipping charges (there goes another $100 *cry*)

 

Pics (at dusk/night) or it didn't happen

 

Bought it a new battery after it stranded me on campus.

 

swapped tail lights with newer style.... removed headlights to drain the mud and water out of them.... replaced all driveline fluids... cleaned rear drums... mud and water over hood= fun but bad news....

 

Switched out this:



For this!

 

mounted the lights yesterday and tested them out last night. things are damn bright. thanks to imsikotic for the lights and matt for the suggestion on the Defiant light bar






then today, took out the old lights, moved the license plate down, put my old blown fabtechs back in the rear, and got rid of my 8 inch kings. then went and picked up these bad bears



startin the bed cage next week

 

Put Hurculiner on the bed of my truck. Now just have to put it all back together tomorrow.

 

Just went out, but I missed dawn by ~20 min here are some shots of them in and lit, but you can't really tell. Wiring took all of 5 min everything plugs i then, just pull the white and green wires out of the tubing where it passes behind the headlights and with 4 wire splices tap the white to green and black to white with black stripe wires. If you wanted the eyebrow and all that crap to glow that just means more splicing.

Light output is about the same as stock, the major difference is that it actually hits the road now. Awesome.

Quality could be better, the insides of the lights seem to have a coating of dust and there is a nasty glob of some brunet's hair in one of the corners.

Also if you wanted the turn signal to match the rest of the lights instead of being that obnoxious orange there are a few methods that the BLHM/CLHM guys have come up with that are pretty painless that I think I am going to pursue.

 

Fog light mod - easiest mod ever , Clay bar and waxed , interior shampoo

 

I poured coolant in the radiator several times. Leaking from the t-stat hose neck. Had the timing belt done week before last so they get to fix it when I get back in town.

 

hit 10k

 

I put a small scratch on my tailgate... It's first one since I've had it.

 

Put my front mud flaps back on but they rub like crazy in turns. I guess its better than rock chips.

 

...And probably won't be the last

 

I just got it a few weeks ago. It is black, but now it is much better looking. I haven't got the goo off yet or I'd post a pic

 

those 255/85/16 wouldnt stick out far enough to throw rocks anyway?or would they?

 

tinted tail lights

 

Did a full front end swap of the old 96 to the new 01: hood, headlights, grille, ARB bar. Real fun. I'll put a write-up in a new build thread when I get around to it.

 

can't wait for the pics!
