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

Looks like me after a Mexican Restaurant.

 

Painting and repainting a few things today.

Painted the V2 dual maps black


And repainting the shifter bezel

 

Post again when you get the lights installed, might do mine if I like

 

Haven’t posted a pic of her in a while. Think she got jealous and threw an emissions code at me today. Hopefully just the gas cap. Here’s a pic to keep her satisfied

 

Tried to install extended brake lines yesterday in prep for my rear shock relocation this weekend. Got the fronts on but one flare nut is seized so bad on the rear I said screw it and ordered a new hard line so I can just cut it off. In a holding pattern on that till parts come in weds.



Then My meso dual color maps showed up today so I popped those in real quick.

 

Great idea! Been meaning to do mine

 

Hope you didn't get any black overspray on that new green Ford Maverick in the picture.

 

Lol

 

Nice, I did a bit of over spray and had to do another coat. Might be time to buy a OEM black one



Edit: clean

 

Eeeeeh, it's a Tacoma not a Ferrari

 

Here you go

 

Facts for my OCD

 

Installed the OME Carrier Bearing Drop Kit this afternoon after work. Before installing, I didn't think I was having any drivetrain vibes (thought my wheeling bearings were going out) and that the kit would maybe just help a little with some axle wrap... Boy was I wrong! I instantly noticed a difference as the ride was smoother and there were fewer vibes at all speeds. I also think that it did help a little with the axle wrap but hey I'm happy all around for only a $20 part. Highly recommend!

 

Looks awesome man I’ll have to do mine. Pretty easy to take the lights apart? I also did my cup holder area a while back, the gf says it looks like it came that way so I must’ve done decent. Good enough for a Tacoma I suppose.

 

Not today, but yesterday I drove it to the store and saw this nice Magnetic Grey Taco that I had to park beside. Gotta share the Taco love!!

 

That has nothing to do with axle wrap.

 

Looks good! $5 spray can vs $90 OEM black one. Can't beat it.



Ya super simple. Use a plastic pry tool of some sort and good to go. Just remember to do light coats and completely let it dry before you pop it back on the there.

 

For the most of us, these are everyday drivers, just want to dress up the truck a bit. run the forest service roads. no serious hard core off roading or rock crawling. So, my opinion is , if you plan on the hard core stuff, buy the best you can afford.
Another note , I bought a set of AEV Pintlers on my Jeep. 3 out of 5 wheels cracked under moderate off roading. AEV is supposed to be built for the rough stuff. Maybe just a bad set ? I would love to have a set of the KMC beadlocks for my Jeep , but the budget wont allow it.

Again , just MY opinion .........

 

Then please explain how it helped and how to fix it further
