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

Got the wiring a bit more tidy. Damn my love for auxiliary lighting and toys.

 

Which chemical guys product did you try? Cant make out what it says but i see their stuff at my WM often and wondered if its worth a try.

 

It's the V7. Chemical Guys make great stuff. A few years back they started mass production so you can get it places like WM. They have higher quality stuff but of course it's more expensive. For $8 it is fantastic.

Thanks, i was wondering if they did a less quality version for WM which is why i hadnt tried it. Thanks for being the guinea pig. I'll be picking up some once the weather breaks.

 

This is one of the wheels I'm considering. Any issues with rubbing from the backspacing? How you you like them so far?

 

I purchased a pack of 10 lights on Amazon, bought a bunch of washers from Home Depot and spray painted them black and fixrd them to the grill. Hot glued the wiring to the back of the grill and spliced into parking lights. I think I am going to put them closer together sometime soon.

 

I drove mine to work.. It's 19 degrees F with a 30 mph wind lol that's all I'm gonna be doing for awhile

Thanks!
I got it from BP Fabricating. It was a lot of work to do but it turned out pretty good! So much work that I will never do it again
I need to repaint or wrap my grille surround as the paint is wrecked.

Been thinking about wrapping my grill surround but all the curves is putting me off as those can be a pain.

 

Painting my new tailgate handle .

 

Take it to your wrap guy. As small as it is, it couldn't be expensive to get that done. ....and while you're at it, rewrap that hood & tailgate. Looked so much better orange IMO

 

That's guy business has gone down the toilet. He did a terrible job on Adam's truck.

 

Got a link to those mirrors? I don't want to put grandpa stick-on round convex mirrors lol

 

Take a look at this guy's thread and our convo about wrapping the grille surround.

costly, but worth it for me

 

THey are heated also!?!

 

hmmm interesting there is a Defrost logo on it... that would be a nice feature to have as well.

 

From their website:

Features

• Direct replacement
• No modifications required
• Reflective lens (mirror) is made out of glass (not plastic)
• Heated with two connectors

 

i love the look of these wheels, so far I like them. It gives it a good stance with the negative offset. I don’t have any rubbing but I have done a aggressive cab mount chop/trimmed and have the pinch weld done.
