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

Is that dozen dognuts there just incase you get pulled over?!

 

thanks I scored these for a great price off a Craigslist deal. I think someone did a write up somewhere but I can’t remember where, I mostly just hoped it would work and I knew if it didn’t I could just sell the mirrors off. The first side took me probably 2 hours to get everything right (plus I was pretty hesitant to drill into the door) but the second side took maybe 30 minutes. The 3rd gens have a different plug but I just cut the plug off my old mirrors and wired that into the new ones. All the wires are the same colors.

 

Myra they’re the spyders, got them off Tacoma beast when they had the $100 off sale. They’re awesome! No issues thus far.

 

The grey doesnt match at all....huh I thought Meso map lights would

 

that's because i have the tan interior and not the grey. Grey is more common. I dont really care though as long as its functional.

 

ah I see, the beige looked grayish in the photo, thanks for clarifying that (waiting on my order to be shipped)

 

Do you have a link for these?

 

worked on the hanger crossbar. excited to see how much of a difference this makes but unfortunately the truck probably won't see pavement for another 2 months

 

If you’d like mediocre springs from a shitty company, then sure I can give you the link.

 

The real question is how do I learn to weld like ol #Randyfab? Once the garage is cleared out from the move a welding set up is first order. Then I can really start working on the truck

 

Went and had local fabricator Ty Snow (Roxtar Trux) help me out by adding some Nitrogen to my EMPTY brand new Bilstein 7100 shock. It had about 5psi in it straight from Bilstein. Per recommendations Ty helped me fill it to 200psi. Hopefully no premature failures in the future. I knew it was low because you could easily depress it by hand & it takes about 30 seconds for the shock to re expand.

 

Did you contact Bilstein about it?

 

Did you contact Bilstein? That seems really sketchy! Keep an eye on it, it might have a leak or something.

 

I contacted wheel every weekend, who is the Bilstein dealer I purchased from. They are working on it. In the meantime this definitely got it sorted out. Not much other choice I have for now.

 

Been dealing with Wheel every weekend & they have been in contact with Bilstein. I’m probably going to call Bilstein myself though & see what’s going on with their side of the story

 

Nice! Is that the original color of your taco? Or is that wrapped?

 

Nice...what size? I went smaller as well due to reduced turn radius. The 35’s while nice couldn’t maneuver some of the switchbacks on a couple of passes in Colorado. I had a few “butt clinching” moments where I felt less than in control...

 

I had Line-X put on my BPF skid plate a few years ago and just noticed today it's separating. What is a good temporary fix here? I'm thinking black silicone sealant and a spray-over with some rhino liner?

 

These things are bright @MESO

 

Do you think that would all come off pretty easily? Looks like it's on its way.
