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

I bought the tires and wheels from them and have warranty through them. Also lifetime rotate and balance. I’ve used DT for years and haven’t had this issue before. From now on I am specifying no power tools. May try a new location

 

True, use a trusted local mechanic. These chain shop are on a time crunch, so they will rush.

 

going to get mine welded on this coming week. regret for going on the hrew option tho, but o wells.

 

Getting mine welded on in a few weeks. Custom fabricated with love by @Bigdaddy4760

They are DOM!

 

Looks like I won't be installing my Spyder Headlight today. I will need to disable the DTRL'S otherwise I will have both the Light Bar and OEM DTRL's that will look like crap. Will also need to make harness to turn the Light Bar DTRL'S on and off or tap into a circuit that is hot when running as I want to save the Marker light, so when I get hit by these California drivers they can say they didn't see me because my maker light wasn't on. Time to dig out a wire diagram and see what I can see. Just had a crazy though. Cut the wire for turn signal DTRL and power the Light Bar DTRL and have the Light Bar also be the Turn Signal, Thoughts/opinions

Pulled truck into garage and connect the new headlight. The DTRL light bar only works with parking lights on so I would have amber Factory DTRL also. There is a small amber LED on the side of the housing that is the side marker as the factory one is now the DTRL. Thinking of splicing the Light Bar DTRL in the factory DTRl/turn signal by cut the the wire and connect the light Bar wire. This would still leave the factory parking light but make the Light Bar the DTRL and Turn signal. Got out my old Calif. Vehicle Code and check the requirement for front turn signal then checked with my nephew and his father, one active CHP the other retired CHP Sgt. Current Vehicle states front Turn Signal must be clear/white or Amber. Will do some testing to see if hyper flash will show up.

 

I might have to wait a while on goodies for the Taco. Just had to fork out money for new tires on the Prius.

 

Installed a license relocation bracket that I got from @ACEkraut this week. I did paint it flat black before assembly and installation.

 

Picked it up from Victory4x4 yesterday. New top rack, cab rack, and blitz front bumper. Just driving it around today and enjoying the new look. Shopping new tires tonight.

 

I got a really good deal on my tires from them and the lifetime balance and rotation as well. My wheels are very hard to get, SCS Ray 10's,so if they mess up one of them it could take me a while to get a replacement. I can't do my own rotations anymore, I've has both knees replaced and I've got back issues as well so I have to find places to do the things I can no longer do myself. Hopefully DCTS will pay for a new wheels if the mess them up like they did when they messed up my center caps. I haven't tried the painters tape yet but I figured it couldn't hurt to try it, hopefully it will work.

 

Switching these bad boys for THESE bad boys! (Tire rotation lol)

 

I like those wheels what are they? Pro Comp?

 

Here we go....

 

That’s exciting. Will be one of my next mods

 

Very nice looking truck. What suspension you running? I’m guessing new leaf pack in the rear?

 

I have the Bilstein pro kit on there now. Leaf pack is the Icon RXT on setting 3.

 

Took off my BPF skid plate cause... Well, you can see for yourself. Debating whether to have it re-done, or just get rid of it.



Then took off these stupid brackets that were still on there because of when I had the bull bar.



And then took off these end "things" from that lower bar thing under the crash bar. Not sure what they do or are for.

 

May not be worth a 'life time' of apologies and replacements.

 

Wired up my fogs





Only thing I’m not sure how to wire. Is the light on the switch, can I splice the connector for the light onto the power wire going to the switch?

And yes I know I used all one color wire. All I had. Had a big spool of it. I have the power wire labeled

 

Long as the wire is labeled your ok. Aircraft wiring is all one color and labeled.

 

This was my second time filling up so far. 17.9 mpg with the last tank.
