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

Hate to see the SR

 

Damn I'm so going to do this in the spring with the soft topper sides rolled up! This is so right!

 

Damn don't even want to know what my poor SR is

 

I have an SR I smell I challenge?

 

Beautiful!!!! If you lived closer I would hire you!!!

 

3" lift, 33's, fake bead locks, and TRD stickers everywhere.

NOT

DCLB FTW

 

Damn that looks good! Long bed all the way!!

 

I wasn't a big fan of all the "empty" space behind the grill--being able to directly see the AC condenser and whatnot. So I added a painted metal mesh behind the grill to fill out the space.

Also added some Oznium amber LEDs for some "faux Raptor lights". They aren't super bright, but they are bright enough for me, and they are super "low profile" if you will (can barely tell they are there when the LEDs are off.

Pictures:



Also, if anyone else is interested in using these LEDs, you can see the current draw in one of the photos is at 12.0V is ~200 mA. At 14.0V it's ~260 mA.

 

So, I posted a couple pictures of TRD stickers that were put on today and obviously got a little bit of shit for it. Yes, I have an SR5, not a genuine TRD, and that's ok. When I bought the truck, it had old TRD decals on the bed already. I knew they were put on by someone other than the factory, but you know what, I didn't care, because it looked good. I told my wife after I bought the truck that I was going to remove them because it was not a factory TRD and she said "why, I like them on there.", so I decided why not, I do too. My truck is a very capable SR5 4x4, with lots of extras done to it, so in my humble opinion, it deserves to wear Toyota Racing Development badges. It's a Toyota Tacoma, and it will out-wheel a Colorado or Ranger any day.

For those who may be interested in replacing worn out decals or getting something different, hit up @CBoy808 from TW to have some made up.

 

I have TRD OR stickers on my bed... But my truck is a DCLB. So obviously not an OR model.

I assume they were put on by the PO. I don't care enough to remove them, and no one else cares, save for a few people on the internet.

You don't really need to defend yourself to random people on the internet, you just do you.

 

I know, I appreciate that. I just enjoy being a part of this community and absolutely love my truck. I'm not worried about a few people on the internet, I'm a cop, I'm used to it.

 

Truck looks good!!! If it makes you smile and the wife smile, that’s a win win

 

Thanks brother!

 

That might be the best thing I've ever seen Tacoma World

 

+1 for @CBoy808 he hooked me up making some custom star wars bed sides and decals to replace all the chrome badges!

 

You will love the remote start from 12 volt solutions. Mine is warming up the truck now!

 

Looks good man, @CBoy808 also hooked me up with mine. I have an SR5 as well so I had him put that in the decal but who cares if your truck isn't technically a TRD. Like you said it'll wheel better than a lot of other trucks out there so rep that shit.

 

Hell yes, it is. why anyone would give you any shit for Toyota decals on a Toyota, when half the bros on here are trying to make their Toyotas look like Ford's is beyond me. On the other hand, we all gotta keep our a sense of humor. We're all a little whack when it comes to our obsession.

your truck, enjoy it. Nice job.
