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

It's this flasher that you have, right?

 

Yeah looks like the same one. Maybe I could use it in my tails.

 

So what's wrong with hyper flash, its makes people really see and pay attention?

 

Finished up my STech universal 6 switch install. Bent up some 1/8 inch 5052 Aluminum to make a power shelf for the electronics. No metal brake just a vise and hammer. Figured for $8 in metal it was worth a try. Turned out functional, but not the best looking.

 

I think Bilstein chart said .6 inches. I noticed the “lift” the first time I drove it home but since have come to feel it as normal stock height

 

Personally, when I see a car hyperflashing I assume they're a high school kid or someone who doesn't know/care enough to do the job correctly.

 

When I was a Police Officer I knew it meant you had a Signal light out and guess where you ended up next?

 

Oh yeah, didn't even think of that.

 

And guess what I would have told you after you figured out that they WERE all working.

 

As should I.

 

From what I remember (I took on this project a couple years ago) the resistors will get ridiculously hot running all the time because of the DRL function, that's why I modded my relay.

But the relay looks nothing like that one you ordered. Let me dig up a picture...

Edit: here it is, the loops on the bottom right is what you grind down to add resistance

 

Thanks for all the info on this. I think I'm just going to forget about it and live with factory bulbs. I figured it would be a fun, easy upgrade but there's more to consider than I thought.

Unless... do you think I could use that resistor for the rear signals?

 

Lol, exactly my thoughts when I took this on. Way more complicated than I expected. I ended up just doing LED's in the rear instead of F/R like I originally planned until eventually I just lost interest.

I think you're fine running the resistors in the rear because it is off of the DRL circuit, but you may want to check around a bit on that.

2015's with the switchable DRL seem to be the most complicated and of course that's what I have haha

 

Mounted up a mortar container in the bed of my truck using the rails. The box can be moved side to side or easy removed for extra space. Water proof storage. Not sure what I’ll use it for yet ......

 

LoL wouldn't have mattered, just probable cause to get you on the side of the road.

Cheers

 

Now that is a sweet mod

 

Today I replaced my cabin air filter, I wanted to clean it up and throw it back in but it fell apart. So I bought a Fram air cabin replacement (

CF10374) on sale at my walmart for 5 bucks so i bought a few and I might just replace mine every 6 months until I run out

Also replaced the wipers, added RainX solution to my windshield fluid. Productive day

 

So won these lights at a raffle didn't know what to do so I bolted them onto holes on the bottom side of the bumper and wired them up on a direct switch. Give off a ton of light for hooking up trailers and such which I do almost daily in summer.

But obviously they hang too low and I did bend one of the brakets slightly. Thinking about replacing the entire back bumper in summer. Any recommendations on flush mounted bumper lights?
