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

HOLY!!!! that is insane!!! def gotta make my way up there!!! who is down for a run this weekend?!?

 

from hub to fender i measured 22.5" BEFORE...
then measured 25" AFTER the Deavers intalled. 2.5" lifted.

 

Rock lights

 

That looks even better than the legit one I have...

Currently holding a shovel and axe with quick fists, and it doesn't look as good, doesn't hold in as good of positions, and sometimes comes loose on it's own...

 

I just added new headlights and taillights with the led instead of the halogen bulb that have the black bezels and they match each other. Added side steps to get in easier and basically removed all the chrome on her. Next I'll be adding a tonneau cover and locking tailgate latch.

 

How do you like the cheap Amazon fog lights? My stock fog housings leak like a sieve and burn out bulbs like crazy. Was looking at the Chinese-ium ones on Amazon like yours for a interim solution until I can afford some quality ones, curious about their build quality (mainly how well do they keep moisture out).

 

Nice. What rock lights did you use?

 

Thanks, its just some aluminum stock the I cut and drilled some holes in and the things holding the tools are 2$ tool hangers from home depot.

 

I drove my KM3's all last winter up here in Wisconsin. They are not fantastic snow tires, but if you know that going in and respect their limits they work great. If I do another set I will have them siped. They don't like packed icy conditions...

these bad boys

 

Hard to say Hoff as I'm not even a week into them......they had good rating on Amazon, seemed solid out of the box, installed fairly easy, my truck is garage kept most of the time....I will keep an eye of course and post if anything changes. The DRL halo and turn signal are really kewl add on's I will say.

 

Got some Rock lights on sale off Amazon. Just cheap China ones but holey hell they are bright. Used some left over HDPE from my tailgate insert to make some mounts for the lights in the cutouts of my victory rack. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Cost a total of $11 bucks lol for some nice camping light.

 

Did you do the power steering flush yourself?

 

My only concern for you is if youre going over some rough terrain there is a change for those pop out but id imagine it would have to be some rough riding to do that.

 

I built a similar set of drive up ramps. I have the Rhino Ramps but my Miata and Civic do not clear them.
I used 2" x 10" and beveled the fronts with my chop saw. Added some rope handles. These are great for the Tacoma and RAV4... I can creep right under with no issues. And, they stack nicely.

 

I like them a lot. It definitely gives you enough clearance to move around and work on stuff. I originally had only the stopper and the two skinny boards on there which made them small enough to stack one on top of the other and both pairs side by side and fit under a firewood rack in the garage. Since I added the wider piece they wont fit like that now. I never thought about adding the rope handles. I might have to put some on mine.

 

Just screw in a couple extra screws with the heads sticking out 1/8"

I build some camping leveling blocks out of 2x10 and they work great. the top side has the screw heads sticking out 1/8" and the bottom has a hole to match. This way the tires don't slip and neither does the boards when there's snow in-between.

 

Agreed.

 

Really changes the look of the truck

 

Installed XB's and gave it a wash
