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

@Aardvark13 I LOVE useful light. My truck reminds me of what I rode around in Iraq back in the day. Believe it or not but my lighting saved me from a roadside ambush here in the USA. Long story short a guy was pretending to be injured in the mountains of GA in order to stop the truck, in the culvert he had 4 buddies waiting. My ditch lights really saved my ass from a confrontation and the sh*theads were later picked up by local PD.

@will.i.was I DID! I put 6 rock lights in this morning. Used a relay and fuses. The relay does "buzz" but that's no big deal. I posed a video on facebook showing the result. I'm not sure how to post videos here.

 

You wouldnt happen to want to share that parts list would you? This might be a project I'd want to do.

 

Awesome man happy you figured it out. Maybe swap in another relay and see how it does? It's not typical for them to buzz from my experience haha

 

Hopefully it works out for you man. Fingers crossed.

 

I think that is the same one that I keep getting emails about from Amazon. I'll have to check it out.

 

New tail light swap today. Getting rid of all the chrome and blacking it out

 

Yeah a Solid State Relay won't buzz. But I'll loose the fade up fade off and that looks pretty frakin sweet! Ha!

 

I don't have a clue but I don't think it sure run as hot as you said. I'm differently not a geek either!!!!
Just a note my screen has never felt hot at all

 

I'm not sure if this will work. But here's a video of the KC Cyclone rock lights in action

used this thread and it worked perfect for me!

 

Installed bird dawg mirror riser. Now ti get a ram ball for it. A big thanx to @bloggerstomper for the hookup

 

Bumper looks great man!

 

Fresh bath

 

Installed my @MESO map lights. I had to take the whole overhead console out as the tabs that the lights slot into are pretty brittle and bend easy. I had to open up the width of the hooks on the Meso lights to get it to fit. Still not perfect, but it’s getting there.

 

thanks much

 

Where did you find some for the 2nd gen in red?

 

I have been waiting to do this for a very long time. But I finally installed a full blown power converter in my truck. It stores perfectly behind the rear driver side seat against the wall.
I haven’t permanently mounted it just yet, but it’s solid enough to stay in place.

I can now run skillsaws, tablesaws, air compressor, Etc.

woohoo!

 

3rd gen TRD OR suspension + 1/4” spacers + Icon 1.5” AAL put in today. Not a huge difference but they blow the base model shocks out of the water.

 

The waiting was the hardest part!

Thanks! The wheels are American Racing AR201 18x9. I checked around to a few local shops and then ended up finding the best price AND lead time for them on Amazon. Final price after shipping etc for 5 from amazon was $5 more than for 4 anywhere else.

The phone number on the contact us page from their website is actually Billy's cell. I'd leave a voice mail or send a text and then just be patient, it sucks waiting but he's never not answered/replied. But I don't think I've ever emailed him.

I think RA quoted 8-12 and it came in at 11 weeks and 4 days but BFF quoted 12-16 weeks and it came in around 17. I was pretty happy with both because when I ordered my sliders I was quoted 6 weeks and they took over 6 months!

Actually 275/70R18s When I bought the truck new it came with the 18s as part of the Sport LTD package and just really liked the look so when I upgraded I kept with the 18s

Pyrite mica is amazing at hiding dirt and scratches so TBH I haven't washed the truck or topper at all since the beginning of January
