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

I somewhat recently sanded and polished my factory headlights, they're better but certainly not great. I think I will try to sand them down once more, and shoot new clear coat over them (2K) and see how they look. If that looks like garbage, are there decent aftermarket headlights for these trucks? I've only ever bought one set of aftermarket headlight housings for my 2005 Tacoma, and I absolutely hated the light out put and the way the beams were focused (or un-focused as it were...). Any recommendations?

 

I just did this. Not perfect, but I've not polished them after clear coating yet.

 

Even after sanding an polishing, mine still remain pretty hazy and yellowed up towards the top. I did the exact same process on my Integra and they came out like new, I'm wondering if the haziness and yellowing might be inside the housings?

 

Went and picked up a new set of wheels and tires last night.

 

Some new 4.88 gears. Had to run Sierra up front and Yukon in the rear because that’s what I could get without waiting a year.

 

New meats!

 

Love that bumper/winch setup!

 

Thanks! Part of the US Offroad group buy I was tasked to organize if we wanted a discount haha.

 

I hate that!

 

Swapped out my grayish/black door handles for OEM MGM door handles. I’ve done couple mini mods while I wait for my lift kit to be delivered after months of waiting!

 

Sold my stock 08 Off Road tires, wheels and tpms. Thought this was a great price for 4 new ones with excellent ratings by 2nd gen owners.

Thanks! I just did a swap out of OEM black parts...steering wheel control, 4WD knob, center bezel and shifter trim surround. I like it a lot better than the silver trim pieces. I didn’t want to paint the parts because I’m not good at paint work and I’m a little particular so...oh and the emblem I just pasti dipped.

 

Her front alignment looks a little low

 

Upgraded my front brakes today. Installed PowerStop Z36 carbon-fiber pads and zinc-plated, slotted & cross-drilled rotors. Very nice kit from PowerStop with new pins and hardware. Hoping it will improve braking power when towing my boat and popup-camper.

 

Sooooooooo cute!!!

 

I recently reconditioned my headlamps…2010
Had great success removing the yellowing with a clay bar ……

 

You'll love them. I installed them a couple months ago and it made a WORLD of difference! I don't tow often but I have a lot of weight and it helped a ton! Not to mention if you deal with steep grades you wont have to worry about warping your rotors

 

Sweet thanks. Also how did you mount it to the intake bracket? I plan on putting it there too.

 

Where did you find those? I've looked several times for a pre-painted set for my BRM Dbl Cab.

 

I finally get to park in a garage!!
