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

I get you!
I love the look of the ARB in person but sometimes pictures make it look like the nose sticks out wayyy too much lol.
I think there are more aesthetically pleasing bumpers out there. But on the other hand I love the ruggedness look of the ARB.

 

Thanks! They just bolt to the bed rails, and lay on the top of the bed sides.

As for the hose hack, I've been meaning to do it for 4 years, just never got around to it. I cut it extra long to I can tuck the excess behind my IFS skid.

 

I've been torn between ARB and CBI fronts. Two things that are keeping me away from the ARB. I'm not a huge fan of how far it looks like it sticks off the grille. And WHY DOESNT IT HAVE RECOVERY POINTS?!? I don't want to have to buy the recovery point in addition. I just bought a BPF recovery bracket and not sure if it would work with the ARB bumper.

 

Did a couple things.....

ARE bed cap and Thule rack
Painted wheels black myself
Black chrome headlights and fog lights
Hood mount LED’s
Bumper mounted 24” LED bar
Bilstien 5100’s
Hewlig Helper spring
Factory cab roof rack
Hopkins Brake controller
Pioneer in-dash DvD 7” screen, Xm radio
5% Tint all windows
Mini Antenna
Black out badges (All around)
AVS window vent shades
Black mesh grille (was combo with headlight purchase on ebay, fog lights from Amazon separate purchase)

Future:
All terrain tire upgrade
Roof basket
Roof mounted LED’s for rear
Snorkel kit?!?!? Will I lose power but it looks dope!?!?!?
Black fender flares
Paint bed cap silver

 

October is not over yet, what else can you squeeze in??? lol

Congrats!

 

The lack of recovery points is another Australian law, and why it’s a separate piece all together.

 

nice! good lookin out!

just from looking at the pictures, I don't think it will. If that bolts up where I think it does, the bumper is mounted in the same place that is.

 

interesting

 

I officially have no more chrome! Plasti-dipped my front emblem & all the badges. Really happy with how this came out. Finish is great for how easy it was. Highly recommend. Small blemishes if you look closely but that's because my coats were heavier than they should have been.

Build thread here if you want to read more: No more chrome!

Finally got my 2012 lower dash swapped out for my very basic one in my 2007. Put in a dual usb charger with volt meter and then went ahead and ran a triple usb charger to the back for the kids.

 

I’m thinking about getting that setup as well. How are you liking it so far?

 

Thanks!

I'm launching a new shirt design, potentially another SideRide Version, and new robots to play with at work!

Always busy!!

 

That's a great looking truck. Nice work.

 

let us know how the T fitting does on that air line if you get any mass shift when going around corners. I ran 2 lines not connected cause I didnt want loads in the back to shift on the airbags when going around corners.

 

Installed LED bar on Prinsu rack ✌️And went camping

 

Always looking to do something new, but here is what I've got done to date...

2010 TRD Off Road


-4in Pro Comp suspension lift
-SPC Light Racing UCA's
-35in Mastercraft tires
-17x9 KMC wheels
-DV8 Offroad bumper
-Smittybilt X20 10k lb winch
-Cali Raised LED rock sliders
-LED fog lights
-ABS kill switch
-Rear diff breather
-Trailer plug relocate
-Glove box light
-Extra bed d-rings
-Plasti-dip grill and badges
-TRD side decals and other decals
-Cowl air induction mod

 

Well I’m only 2 days in and I love it. The only complaint is with the stock master cylinder and booster. The brake pedal is still “squishy”, but the Wilwoods bite a LOT better.

I’ll likely do the tundra master swap in the future.

 

Sweet. I’ll keep that in mind.

 

Really nice looking rig!
