    The mods have probably changed since last update.
    Is the lighting the same as the standard OEM headlights?

    After wasting money on paying someone to polish truck and it not being up to my standards due to my OCD, I decided it was time to learn how to do it myself.
    Watched a bunch of vids and bought a HF DA polisher and some supplies from chemical guys, and other places.
    Spent 3 hours one steppin, Sonax perfect finish, followed up with jescar power lock then topped that with meguiars fast finish. I was shocked I tell you. Huge difference.

    A bit X specific but dropped, painted, and reinstalled the x-brace to have a little color peaking out under her skirt and highlight what gives the X-runner it's name.

    How difficult was it to hook up the lights? Coming from a guy with no experience in this whatsoever but I love the look of this.

    I added a little power to my 2nd Gen
    Here's how to get more horsepower & torque from a 2nd Gen 4Banger than a stock 2nd Gen V6
    Well they dyno'd it before for a baseline 130HP with larger than stock tires (265/75/16s vs stock 4Banger size 245/75/16s)
    After adding
    URD Mk3 Supercharger kit for 05-15 Tacoma 2.7L 2TR-FE 4 Cylinder
    URD 2TR-FE Stage 1 to Stage 2 Supercharger Upgrade
    LCE Header (a long-tube header in a short-tube package)
    Short throw shifter
    Upgraded clutch
    Magnaflow cat back

    I now have almost double the horses with 245HP. :burnrubber:

    Oil change. Added the Fumoto oil drain valve. Not happy about the amount of rust on my 2013.

    So far as I know nobody has ever been in there. That's why I'm wondering if that cover got damaged by a tire guy.

    Nice just the exact same thing myself. Got about 2" of lift in the front because I went with 3rd gen stuff though.

    Because I'm an asshole and was bored at work earlier today, I posted this on a bookface tacoma group in response to someone making a comment about sarcastic answers to questions:

    • Whatever is wrong with your truck, you must take it apart and sell the components individually to vultures looking to score used parts for cheap.

    • Your HVAC unit has been possessed by a small lesser deamon, which is why it's blowing hot or only works on full blast to counteract it's hell breath. The only cure is a holy instrument known as a "blower motor resistor" which will resist it's evil temptation and banish it... for a time.

    • Whatever tires you put on your truck will fit if the wheels are the same lug pattern. Being able to move after installing them is optional.

    • Whatever generation Tacoma you have is superior to all other gens and yet like Schrodinger's truck, is also inferior to other gens.

    • If you need an answer about basic functions of your vehicle, make sure you burn your user manual first before posting them online because that book is just a clever ruse to confuse you by the illuminati new world order and books should never be trusted.

    Man, you folks in the snow country have it rough with the salt and mess. The underside of my 2009 still bright and clean.

    They are stiffer for sure but it still rides nice imo. I haven't really done much offroad stuff yet. Sure handles those speed bumps better though lol.
