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

banished

 

what color Derp? looks great. I think I like the non-black/gray rim with the black truck better than black on black

 

Thanks

 

Ha ha! Yes, lights alone pre paint is almost 400.00

 

How was this process? have any pics?

 

ill post some up later. it was very easy bake at 270* in the oven for 7min (after removing all screws and lights) then you can quite literally pull apart by hand.

edit: im currently running the Tacoma Beasts LED bar headlights but the OEM lights are brighter than the projectors. I love the LED bar running light but idk if its worth sacrificing the extra lumens. I will however be upgrading the stock halogen bulb with a VLED bulb

 

I got the Total Chaos LCA skids because they look cool AF, got em painted to match my 'dolled up' rig theme.

I am also trying to put every single armor component I can on the rig, working on gas tank skid and I have almost everything. I just really like armor on my truck, dont ask me why. It tickles me just right.

Even those little ABS sensor skids from SDHQ hehehe

 

I gain almost 2 mpg when I remove my skids.

 

I believe that.



*edit*

If I was worried about MPG I would not have purchased a taco

 

I don’t have the headers or the high flow cats installed yet I am waiting for my urd cai to show up so I can do it all at once
But as of right now it’s pretty quiet at low rpms you can’t even hear it but once it opens up it’s a pretty deep rumble sound
I don’t really notice the difference in sound inside the truck

 

Gunmetal PD followed by metallizer PD followed by glossifier PD. Agreed. I don’t like black on black. It needs a coat of silver to match my current wheels better though.

 

You might want to crank that welder up a bit more.

 

100% agreed. When I want fuel economy I drive my locked/locked 85 on 37s

 

True story! It gets like 6 or 7 mpg better. Nuts.

 

awesome, thanks!

 

I bought mine for milage. My old blazer only got about 6mpg this is a HUGE improvement. But that was a 78 with 37 inch tires 5.56 gears dana 60 front n 14 bolt rear. Bored 455.

 

No. The LCA is tough enough to be used as a jacking point - been doing this for the past 8 years. The LCA doesn't bend with bashing on rocks. If anything the welds in the bushing hoops will split first, and the LCA skid doesn't strengthen that area at all.

 

Happy to share my new version of SPOD LoL
It came out a clean install.
I just don’t like the color of the pad light.

 

Change it.
