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

Do tell?!?

 

You gotta wait for the video.

 

Installed cheap Amazon fog lights yesterday and finished wiring them up after work today. I think it helps the look of the base model non-painted bumper.

 

I have my oem take offs I swapped out when I installed my Baja design ones. I’ll let em go cheap if you ever want them if those crap out on you.

 

Im sure these will crap out on me eventually but i think I’d need to get a 2.5 gen facelift on this truck for yours to fit. Your truck looks good, I’m still debating on if I’ll tint the fogs yellow

 

Haha we all say that until we look at our bank statements and see the truck parts you said you never buy

 

Yeah that I’m not sure about.....but in I’m in the same predicament. I’ve been trying to find out if 3rd gen TRD pro rigid dogs will fit my truck.

 

King currently has a 20-24 week lead time so you’ll have pleeeeenty of time to think about what color you want

 

Yeah my suspension is still more than fine.....I’m thinking King blue with a mix of anodized lime green or gold or black with a mix of anodized lime green or gold. I’ll be going through filthy motor sports. They have an excellent video on YouTube about kings

 

Meguiar’s 105 and 205. I tried applying with microfiber cloth but that didn’t do much for the scratches. Next I used a 3M ultrafine sanding pad which pretty much took care of the scratches. The challenge in trying to work in such a confined area.
I then used a Dremel mandrel and polishing tip and the 105 and 205. Because it’s such a small area the key was to lock the door so I could hold the handle out and have more room to work. Then I finished with a microfiber cloth, 205 and two fingers.

 

Maybe my rear 5100's were at EOL



Tiny upgrade to 5160's


Boy do they feel good compared to the horrible floaty thing I had before

Installed em last night, tested em out today in the snow.

Hard to see but its there. Covered in snowy goodness.

 

That's a pretty neat idea. I've always been annoyed at how worm gear hose clamps can chew up what they are clamping, but never thought about covering the clamp before. Definitely going to have to try this out.

 

20-24 weeks.....!? Are you kidding me? Is that just through accutune or across the board?

 

According to accutune across the board. At least thats how I read it.

 

Exactly. It chewed through the Fox decal pretty good and my buddy’s Icon’s were dug into.

Here’s what I used incase anyone wants to know. Cheap mod for sure.

This puts a freaking huge monkey wrench on my 12 inch shock relocation plans......now I am thinking that I might have to go with a Bilstein equivalent. Do you know of a good 12 inch Bilstein equivalent?

 

I think it’s the 7100 series. Whatever @singletrack_ftw has.

 

Rear diff breather mod

 

Scored a set of Thule roof and truck bed racks yesterday, installed today at work. Got a good deal on them, saved about $500 buying used in decent condition. Waiting for my ski rack holders to come in the mail for my fishing poles, and some end caps for the rack in the bed of the truck. I originally wanted to do 2 racks in the bed of the truck, but I would’ve had to get rid of my toolbox so I settled on a roof rack and truck bed rack.
