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

I’ve done the same thing 3 times. Twice with a broken leg and once with a broken ankle (my poor right leg). With the broken legs I’d sit on a pillow and throw my right leg over the console onto a pillow on the passenger seat. Broken ankle I was able to just tuck my right leg back sitting normally to drive left footed.

Needless to say I’m a pro at left footed driving these days.

 

After a few hard days on the trail, I slid under the truck for an inspection to find that 1 of my Wheelers Superbumps is gone (just the bump, not the bracket). I must have lost it on-trail. Now I'm Superbummed. I've messaged them in the hopes they could just sell me one bump, but so far radio silence.

 

Its a gel stain called Unicorn Spit. Just wipe on with a rag and then go back and sand over. A lot of good examples on the google. Girlfriend wanted a little color or for it to not be all torched like some of the other boards. Really pleased with it.

Also, this stuff is the best for getting the red out of wood and getting that nice gray. Its expensive but has great results and preserves it very well. Unfortunately most products that you try to seal it with will turn the wood brown. Still researching what to use. I put it on the cedar trim.

Thank you cyber monday and getting paid on black friday.

 

Kidsmoke,
Here is the pic you wanted.

 

Ready for nighttime.

 

Called them directly today, and they were able to sell me just 1 bump. Travis was awesome.

 

The other day I put on 1.25 inch spidertrax wheel spacers

 

thanks!

 

yeah I went back and forth on that as well. There was the 3rd middle option, pro. That’s what I ended up with. With the Black Friday sale it wasn’t that big of a jump. I was just wondering if you felt the sports were a significant improvement over stock.

 

So I read the entire write up on light output on the different models here on TW, and the only reason I didn’t go with the pro’s is because they didn’t have as clean of a cutoff. I don’t want the yellow bleeding up too much and blinding people. The max has a cutoff almost identical to the sports, but a much taller beam.

the sports are 100x better than stock. I have had stock, then stock with 3000k hid’s, then Cali raised pods (they absolutely sucked).

I am happy with the sports for the price...... though I would like the taller beam that the pro and max offer.
