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

I'm not sure what brand they are, something nice though. Quality improved sure, but volume didn't. Sometimes podcasts I listen to have such a low master volume, driving with a window cracked on the freeway, gotta have it maxed. I'd like to not have to do that

 

I’m happy with my Rockford fosgate’s. Def loud.

 

You painting or buying new black parts?

 

Painted them

 

What'd you use?

 

I guess I installed the spider mod while I was out of town .





These trucks are freaking spider magnets!

 

All the damn time.

 

Rustoleum 2x in flat black…came out better than I could have imagined

 

so, I finally got an LED lightbar mounted behind the grill...... here's the lightbar I used..

and I also used @CaliRaisedLed hidden bumper brackets..



$60 32" Hidden LED Light Bar Bumper Mounts compatible with Toyota Tacoma 2005-2015

and of course I also used the front plate bracket by @ACEkraut which I highly recommend!!

everything looks and works amazing!

 

What kind of prep and/or primer did you use, if any?

I've been thi about doing the same but I'm worried that the paint on the textured portion would wear prematurely.

 

This is next on my list.. can’t wait

 

Very nice, changes the look dramatically. Don't forget those tweeter rings

 

Moved my EZ Pass from under my mirror to the right side of it (sold my UltraGuage EM Plus).
I think I'll get a BlackVue dash cam for the left side of the mirror.

 

I think I might leave those since the ac controls are still silver

 

I don't post here much due to budgetary constraints, but I'm super stoked about my latest mod. I wanted to preface this by saying that this never would have happened without the generous donation of sweat and time by @Vitalzone , not to mention the great price he gave me.

What I thought would be an hour or maybe two of time to slap these bad boys up actually took around 4 hours in the relentless Arizona sun. And I have the sunburned knees to prove it. They fit great but took a bit of work to get around two rivits on the frame.

I still have a little trimming to do on the fuel tank skid but with 3/4 of a tank they're not touching.

 

What winch mount do you have?

 

swapped out TRD OR wheels for Pros. Definitely wider stance on these

 

Pelfreybilt

 

Swapped out the lightweight stockies for the new 6x9 Kickers, mounts and harnesses. Better already. Now just waiting for the Kicker tweeters to get here. Took all of 9 minutes during some light rain. Easy peasy.
