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

That actually makes the most sense, I'll do that. Thanks.

 

Had a blast today. Truck performed great and I'm really happy with where it’s at.

 

Another truck wash and wax before some snow in the forecast and hit the rock and roll mileage marker. Next milestone, 69420mi.

 

Added a couple of 90° L brackets so I could mount my bed extender to the bed stiffeners. Had to narrow the factory bed extender down a little bit which is fairly easy just have to push the center tubes together.

 

I was thinking 69469

 

Did my skid.

 

Gave the ‘Ol Lady a facelift…

Another @HomerTaco masterpiece, thanks Craig!

Cheers.

Very nice. Much better IMHO.

 

I've been 100% HID lighting for over ten years but decided to jump on the LED bandwagon. Lol! So today I pulled 6 HID ballasts, the HID high beams, the HID low beams and the HID fogs and put in some LED bulbs. They are pretty impressive as far as output and beam, The reason I always stayed with HID's is because they are bullet proof. And LED's are finicky, so they better hold up or back in the HID's go! LOL!

(Kept the HID spot lights though, no LED's will beat those )

Also did boring stuff, new O2 sensors and spark plugs

 

All that glorious glare... You don't mind blinding all incoming traffic?

 

In the last pic? I had the outdoor flood lights on outside the house

 

Friends don’t let friends blind oncoming drivers with LEDS.

 

Truss on

 

how many miles did you get out of those o2 sensors? I just did all four of mine as well at 185k. Just some preventative maintenance.

 

I'm usually not as quick to pass judgment as others on TW it seems to me, however...

... these have no physical/mechanical cut off to avoid blinding other drivers. Some LED headlight "bulbs" do have physical/mechanical cut offs. All versions of LED headlights get frowned upon on TW by most members. There are differences.

The short version, your LED bulbs suck.

 

Ordered an overland equipped auxiliary power kit. I have some diode dynamics ditch lights on back order, and I wanted proper power distribution. Planning on running 6-8 circuits for various lights, a small powered sub and a small compressor in the future. I’ll probably order some battery terminals as well.

looking at these after finding a random youtube vid: http://www.knukonceptz.com/sp/ultimate-positive-battery-terminal/

Plenty of spots for expanding electrical needs, plus they have faux battery terminals that mount on the sides, negating the need to chop up the factory harness.

After that, going to start shopping for headlights.

 

Uni filter or not?
I opened the secondary air assembly to check the foam filter. It looked good and no sign of deterioration. Everything was clean. Should I still replace it with the K&N style filter?

 

I did a thing. New wheels for the SAS suburban project.

 

Just do It!

 

My filter was also good. Still did the mod and kept the factory parts.
