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

I absolutely love them. Great on the highway hardly any noise and perform awesome off road. I will be buying them again next go around which says something because I usually always change it up.

SSHQ battery terminals. I recommend them for sure, very high quality.

 

Thanks! Just ordered the SDHQ full set. Looking forward to getting the new X2Power 27F battery in and the wire maze cleaned up.

 

Changed my oil at 97,770 miles. Almost 100k!!!

 

Nothing major, just properly aimed new retros. Better second option.

The best option hands down is to find an optical alignment machine. It’s pretty hard to find one close by, and even harder to find someone who knows how to use it properly. So here we are.

What retros you go with looks good.

 

Lighwerkz.

 

You can’t blame dyslexia for spelling prey wrong.

 

How do you know I spelt pray wrong? Trying to keep the syntax fail thread going.

 

At least nobody noticed my blunder.



As I was saying...

 

This pic just confirmed how much I prefer my second gen to the stock third gen front end today. Still enjoying my new headlights

 

DAMN! I'm still doing a Google search for 8nto!!!!!!

 

Hover truck go brrrrr...

 

Alternatively you know you spend to much time on TW when the left truck looks just "normal" and the right truck looks odd.

 

Stock trucks DO look funny!

 

Pics?

 

I saw a stock 5 lug the other day and did a double take because for a moment I forgot 5 lugs exist and thought someone had dropped a Tacoma body on a car frame of some kind and was just like why...?

Seriously though stock 5 lugs look particularly strange with their super skinny and short sucked in steel wheels.

 

Sanded down the backs of my reflector bowls for the retrofit I'm working on. I initially only sanded down enough to fit the H4 alignment washer. I realized when I test fit the projectors that if you use the H4 alignment washer the projector doesn't sit level. I haven't tested this on the truck yet but I found an older post by Andrew that said on the 12-15 headlights you need to grind them flush and ditch the alignment washer.

Posting little updates in here. Will probably compile everything into a thread after. Maybe not a full blown DIY start to finish, but I'll try and include these sort of details and pictures.

 

I think I might give them a go as my next tire, not sure how I feel about Coopers quality after the Goodyear acquisition.

 

Always thought that 3rd Gens have a 'pig nose' look to them.

 

Yes
