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

Got my Y strap in the mail finally, just in time. Heading out to go wheeling in a couple hours.

 

Buying some new headlight bulbs for my aftermarket headlights.

I have some spec-d led bar headlights which were mediocre light output when i first bought them with the included bulbs. finally got around to replacing em last night, the new bulbs are even worse and reveal some dark spots on the beam projection, which i'm guessing is either due to a shitty knockoff bulb, or crappy projectors. Gonna put in some Sylvania Ultras later today and see how that changes things, if no improvement, I'll probably be reaching out to a local shop to have some Morimoto projectors fitted into there.

 

How do you like the Dynapros? Been contemplating a 295/75/16 as my next tire and they seem to be the only mud terrain available in that size.

 

I've got the Tcmabeast/ Spyder LED bar lights (purchased prior to finding TW ) and agree the light output sucks. I replaced the factory shitty H1 bulbs with Osram Night Breaker Lasers and that improved the light output a bit. Long term I plan on getting a retro kit from TRS to replace the crappy halogen projectors.

 

I love them so far. Had them 4-5 months now. I also love the 295 size. That’s what I ran before these and it’s awesome. You’d be happy with that combo.

 

Yeah...when I first got them, I realized the light output sucked but at least the beam was uniform without any spots. Now there's 2 spots in the passenger side beam that light doesn't seem to reach for whatever reason, which I definitely can't stand and also makes night driving more distracting and dangerous.

Looking for some advice on my bed platform. I finished the build but have a question on the main plywood panels. They are from two different plywood sheets cut to exact dimensions of the bed down the middle. One sheet is slightly warped so they don't sit completely flat. The one on the left sits flat, the one on the right doesn't. I know screwing them down to the crossbeams would solve this but i'd like to not have a more 'permanent' platform so I could easily remove it. Any suggestions to flatten the right board?

Pic of the platform:


And pic of the middle support structure:



All the support structure pieces all fit perfectly so none of that is causing the right plywood to pop up on the ends... it's just warped.

 

How is the sound after adding the foam? I've done my doors with Noico sound matt and was planning on doing back wall as well. I picked up some of the foam to add out of curiosity but haven't done it yet.

 

It rained all day right after installing so I need a clear day (tomorrow) to test it out.

 

Not what I did today but what I’m about to do. Replaced drivers side door lock actuator last week. Good opportunity to upgrade the speakers. Today my passenger front actuator decided to act up. Got that on order and also Subaru tweeters, lol.

 

Washed, treated all the plastics with UV protectant, did the tires. Pulled off the tube steps yesterday now that my kid is finally y’all enough not to need them. Anyone else got a 4’3” tall 8 year old?

 

Last time I looked I thought the Subaru tweeters were only a direct replacement for the 2016+ models

 

With some modification to the connecter and swap two wires the factory plug will plug right in. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...plicing-cutting-or-soldering-required.623038/

 

Finally got around to installing the C4 front bumper and wiring up the lights as well.

 

Who makes the strap?

 

The first gen owner took the day off today lol

 

Had the chance to change transmission oil on the panda. Shifts buttery smooth now. That oil was black. Used 2 quarts and didn't get it to overfill. Should I have bought 1 more?

 

Okay serious question guys!
Does anybody know how to wire a acces cab seat to a double cab?
