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

Some goodness arrived, installing them tonight

 

8.2 mpg, the worst I've ever gotten.

 

Dana 60 stock width. 4.88 gears and ix are lockers

 

As posted in the Headlight Upgrade thread, here is the 'after'. Focus on the light on my neighbors driveway. Its MUCH brighter than anything before so this mod 100% works. I also have my Diode Dynamics Sport fog lights on which is why the light off to either side is yellow, so ignore that. My fog lights used to almost outpower my headlights as far as light output goes. Now you can clearly see the headlights are overpowering the fog lights, which is good!



For anyone wonder this was like a $170-180 mod, and that's with buying two sets of the headlight bulbs.

 

Don't forget to get them aimed correctly. I pissed off a few drivers simce they thought I had my brights on all the time

 

yeah but that slide adds 2 smiles per gallon

 

Think I need to aim them correctly if i've never touched the adjustments and these are the OEM headlights? I did put aftermarket headlights on but have since switched back to OEM... no other 'adjustment' changes ever.

 

Mine just did the same thing...
I am putting a new CV in this weekend and hopefully reboot this one and keep it as a spare.

But damn man... OEM axles...

 

I got Napa replacements when I went to Colorado and Utah bc they were available but I kept the OEM ones to reboot for spares and ill basically keep doing that until i can justify getting OEM spares

 

Thanks ,that’s my next project.Removing some rust and paint sliders . ( every year )

 

My SS3 Max in yellow damn near overpower my Mini H1 retrofits lol

 

Did the uni filter mod. That is all.

 

I'm experimenting. My only concern is what it might do to shoulder checks. I have convex mirrors on my side mirrors, but... So I might move it entirely, but that's why it's an experiment.







It's one of these 1535 sized MOLLE panels. I have another on the way I plan to modify the same way for the other suicide door. Does three things, makes a removable molle panel, covers the window from the inside, and is easy to mount due to the included mounting pegs.

Haha yeaaa those scuff marks are not helping my OCD.

 

What does the truck get?

 

Cleaned my interior. Then took the protector off the HU. Regurt. Then success

 

What head unit is this?

 

Seicane. It's pretty great!

 

Probably should be close enough to leave alone if that's the only thing you've done. If you have aftermarket suspension then that can affect it as well and might be a good idea to double check. To aim mine I just used the side of a store where the parking lot was empty, a measuring tape, and some painters tape to mark the wall temporarily. It can be done in about 10 minutes or so.

 

All to remove one wire harness I wasn’t using.
