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

This would probably work on the black door handles...hmmmm.
Time to get some Meguiars.

 

Take the handle off or tape it off and spray it with this stuff. It's thick and potent, don't get it on your paint.

 

This stuff is amazing!! I just did my bumper last weekend.
Here’s a half-done shot just to show the difference.

 

Dino Oil Lucas 80w-90! Unless u can afford the actual Toyota Stuff. Redline too never tried it. Just read some threads on it! As far as miles if you have the time and money then yes!

 

Got truck back after recall for Secondary Air Pump. Ready for this weekend too. Any tips?

Mine ticks on low speed too!

 

I put 50% on windshield years ago. Really helps with morning sun and headlights coming at you at night. The rest is 20% all the way around.

 

Installed some LED strips on top of my headlights. Went with the RAV look (Top) instead of the tacoma/tundra look (Bottom). Picture doesn’t do them justice. Also got a new Colour matched 2011 sport Honeycomb grille coming. Can’t wait for that to come to replace my Plastidipped Chrome SR5 grille.

 

today I replaced the door lock actuator for my rear right door on my 2010 double cab. Only took about 30 minutes.
This is the video I watched to guide me.

Only thing I did differently was remove the window Track which made it 10x easier to install the new door lock actuator.

Purchased a refurbished actuator from Actuators Plus on ebay. Great price, works as it should and comes with a lifetime warranty if you mail your broken one back. Return shipping label and envelope thing included with your actuator!

 

Is it reflective? Can you post any you have of the inside either during the day or at night or both if you have them, thanks

 

Not reflective. Taking pictures from the inside doesn't show well on camera but I can tell you it is darker and cooler inside the cabin with the tint. I recommend having HID headlights with good fog lights for night driving.

 

It's finally going down... Last bit of silver trim is being murdered today. I'm going to try this new plastidip primer with black and glossifier. We'll see how well it adheres to the bezel. If it doesn't work out, then I'll peel it off and lay down some Rust-Oleum.


Excuse the rats nest of wires

 

Installed Osram reverse bulbs as seen in this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/gy6-35-hir-921-reverse-light-upgrade-vs-high-power-leds.474996/
Much brighter!

Added another washer to try and eliminate my minor rear driveline vibes. We’ll see if it worked in the morning.

And reinstalled my factory skid plates after lifting the truck a few weeks ago. Don’t judge, while they are useless for most things, they do protect against mud and downed branches.

 

DIY mounted my traction boards to my roof rack. Used 3" long 1/4" carriage bolts and grinded down to sides so they'll slide into the aluminum crossbars then tighten a washer and locknut to keep the bolts in place. looking for some knobs to better secure them

 

I did mine like this:

 

Eibach lift with single AAL in the rear. 285/70/17 BFG A/T

 

Turned out great. Opted out on the clear coat. Really came out clean and sturdy, we'll see how long it'll hold up.



The silver trim saga is over

 

definitely the cap, maybe not the tailgate part. I traded my tailgate one for a stock one, but I kept the Mobtown cap. Been on the truck for a few years now. +1 for Mobtown

 

I've had 50% on the windshields of several of my vehicles. It makes a big difference on your hands and face.

 

Congrats
