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

im saving money cause they don’t. Otherwise, I would be buying them

 

This is my next project and this is what I purchased. It has a 3M backing. If you cut it in half. its the perfect size for both of the 2nd Gen headlights

VViViD Premium Clear Cast Extra Wide Headlight Protective Scratch-Proof Wet-Apply Tint Vinyl Wrap Film 15" x 48" Roll Including Hard Yellow Detailer Squeegee

I would also recommend this ceramic coating kit. It will protect the vinyl and increase the life by several years

Gtechniq - EXOv4 + Crystal Serum Light (CSL) + Panel Wipe Kit - All in One Detailing Bundle, Paint Protection, Decontaminate, Great Gloss Retention, Water and Dirt Repellency (30 milliliters)

Evidently they will be making them soon tho.

Post up the results of that film if you don't mind! I've heard good and bad things about vivid, my main concern is the film conforming to the shape of the headlights.

Thanks

 

Heavy skid plates are the best, especially if you do things like disconnect your sway bar, or install armor. The weight is the lowest on the truck. Helps offset the weight of stuff above the center of balance.

 

Will do. I'll probably do it later this week, after the Hurricane passes

 

Oh crap, there goes my money

 

Which ones did you get? Im looking at the ones for like 400 bucks

 

I was having the same issue and I think these little guys look cool and work even better! Glad i could help!

 

Which "ones" are you talking about?

 

I rule my castle but I treat my queen very well, oh and "it's my truck...".

 

I don't have a clue, but a fellow TW member recommended this

I don't rat people out though so...

One of the vendors going to sell these pretty soon for $150

 

Lol yes.... That's the stuff!

@magneticwhite88. Those light covers are great. Lamin-X (great customer service btw) has two versions. Precuts and full sheets. I recommend the full sheets like I gave @DG92071 in the photo. They allow you way more room for error.

I've never used them on restored headlights but it's worth a shot. Just make sure you polish the hell out of those lenses if you use the film covers

Edit: just a heads up. Installation can be a pain in the ass.

 

How often did you changed your transmission fluid

 

I looking for some advice from the detailing experts. I'm planning a thorough detailing of my 2015. This whole process gets confusing. Here are the steps I have in mind:

1. Wash with Meguiar's Car Wash.
2. Clay Bar with Mother's organic.
3. Repeat #1
4. Polish with Griot's Correcting Cream
5. Wax with Collonite 845

I know some of you have your favorites for the products. I'm just looking for guidance on the process. Anything I'm missing? Thanks.

 

Is that the 1/2" or 3/8"? I have been thinking about adding the 1/2" Makita to my Arsenal. The 1/4" gets a lot done, but it won't break lug nuts loose that are torqued at 85 ft lbs.

 

it’s a 1/2, that’s new this year. Mid torque they call it. Breaks lug nuts easy and is small.
