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

WHAT ARE WE YELLING ABOUT?!

 

Your caps lock is on. Seems like you’re screaming.

 

I bought the kit that came with the Bully Dog tuner through URD. They had it shipped directly from Magnuson's!

 

Did a bunch of stuff. Just got it back from paint on Friday, then went out of town til yesterday. This weekend will be finishing lighting installs and doing a bunch of rewiring, hooking the winch back up, and putting on the synthetic winch cable and new thimble. 3 layers of color matched bedliner with 4x extra blue pearl added. Pelfreybilt bumpers installed. Bed rack powdercoated. Metal bed caps and tailgate cap. Backup cam. TC lower control arms. Wheels/tires. Etc. Etc.
















before...

 

Installed a smoke colored 3rd brake light, black bezel tail lights, and replaced the AC knobs with aluminum ones that has an interior ring; got the idea from someone’s thread. Looks pretty good. Been reading through the forums, has anyone replaced their headlights with these? PITA or fairly
easy? TIA

 

I have those. I believe they're the same ones. I got them through Amazon. Tacoma head lights suck... you gotta twist in & it fucks w/ me. Idk bout others experience

 

I ordered a very similar set from XTralights and have been very satisfied with them.

 

Saw a Tacomaholic’s youtube video for reference; gonna attempt it this weekend. Or maybe get a shop to do it since it’s the 40k service is also due. Lol

 

It's pretty easy I'm not super mechinacially inclined and i was about 3 hours for both with a buddy, with beers mixed in there too!

 

What did you coat truck with?

 

To each his own. I'm a built not bought type of guy. And for 10k I had a dead reliable miata that could daily and track

 

Thanks and welcome to TW!

 

I've had the Spyder branded ones, which are exactly the same until I went with HIDs. But 1st time removal of the headlights is the hardest. I've taken mines out a bunch of times so even with the twisting its out in minutes now. Just use some cloth to cover over where the bumper filler pieces are and you'll be fine on not scratching up the lenses.

 

Right on man. I hope one day to install a supercharger on mines!

FYI, seems like there's been some heavy dislike towards the Bully Dog tune. Most people have been trying to either get the original TRD tune from the Toyota Dealer (which sounds like it's hit or miss on them giving it or having it) or going with the Orange Virus tune (which the wait time can vary). Try looking into this more, if you haven't already, since it might alleviate some headaches for you. My vote would be to go with the TRD if you can get it since it's cheaper or no cost. OV would be the best, but there's another price tag to that.

 

D ring makes you look Phat...

 

Replaced blower motor resistor and wiring harness after work and snapped this cool pic on my way to lunch earlier in the day. Though it looked cool.

 

Read much?

 

Boys it’s the day that many Tacoma Enthusiasts dream of!



Thanks to Yota Mafia and Tacoma Beast I won a gift certificate at the Atlanta Takeover for $250! Can’t wait to install tomorrow.

Also got reverse led bars that are about 6in a peice and square pods for the sides so I can light up the campsite when we go camping!

Oh what a good day. Lastly I have no idea how people let things like this sit in their garage for weeks or months! I almost installed this when I got home at 10pm because of the anticipation!!!!

 

There's about 30 different brands of coating he could've used. Pretty sure that's what he's asking.

 

Not too sure. Came with truck when I bought it. Only writing on it says Toyota so maybe it’s stock Toyota?
