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

I'm gonna be doing a simarlar setup for my accessories this spring

 

I also use rainx on front window so water beads & o dont have to use them as much. Intermittent wipers are on my future

 

Last night I installed my new softopper with the help of the wife.
Today I used it to drag around a TSC utility trailer rental to haul a large rototiller and a yard of dirt for the back yard.
Not sure why the picture makes the rear of the truck look odd but oh well.

 

AC out of order.
Had to replace the bearing of the compressor.

 

Installed the Fabfours rear bumper. Replacement for the stock after having been rear ended.

 

Found an awsome GB

Great deal.

 

The back looks good to me, but the front is missing the scoop.

 

Thanks! I carefully taped the reflector as well as the parking light and painted right over the turn signal since I was going to remove that burnt reflector anyways.

 

I really want to do this mod, but I'm afraid I'll make it look all crappy.

 

I'm with you. My aftermarkets look great but can't believe how bad the light pattern is. Something to do with the reflectors I think.

 

Scoops are only good for icecream and NA LS engines.

 

If you just take your time, make neat cuts with the tape and prep well, you should be fine!

If you can, don't rush the project. I have my other daily car I can drive so I'm giving myself a few days to get it done, no rush.

 

My previous retrofits, I did a gunmetal metallic. Came out clean but I wanted the sport look. My current retrofits are in oem sport housings.

 

Went to home depot and bought some 1/8 flat stock and a can of paint and did some stuff....
10$ for 3 mods.

Window slider security bar
Trailer bracket relocated
Painted lower valence

 

tacomabeast.com, go under lighting and you'll see them.

 

2 questions for you :

1. Do you have pics of your old gunmetal housings?

2. Where'd you get your sport housings? Are they oem from the dealer?

 

All I did to my truck today was drive it . Smiles per Gallon

 

Installed my Icon stage 2 lift today. Super easy. Just need to make an adjustment to the fronts. New Tires get installed Monday. Was planning on removing the sway bar, but noticed that the PO removed the sway and I’ve been driving without it the whole time.
Also painted the rear drums.

 

Installed some aux back up lights, relocated my 7 pin trailer hook up and color matched the rear bumper. Also painted the hitch while it was off.

 

Not today but I replaced my wire taps with Posi-Taps. Seemed to fix the issue. I still need to replace the button with an OEM foglight button. Also ordered new shoes that should get put on next week.
