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

That glare is awful

 

I was planning on cutting it to make it shorter, there was no need after I used the m8x1.25 die.

 

Man that Carbon fiber looks good! I assume those are parts you bought not wrapped.

 

That is 100% fake. The shitty stickers on the gear shift area are "carbon look".

 

Well yeah lol! It ain’t no exotic truck lol!!!

Not exactly a sticker but an an overlay.

 

Well I know it isn't real. That cost way to much. I wasn't sure if it was a whole piece be bought like that or if he warpped it with an overlay lol Then I noticed the radio bezel isn't factory. Still love the look of CF even if it isn't real

 

Passenger LCA is in.

 

After probably 7 years of wheeling with it loose, I finally mounted the hi-lift to where it isn't so much of a deadly projectile.

 

I got 265/75R16. I like how they look, we'll see if my mileage changes.

Headlight restoration kit.

 

Looks great. Did you use the Cerakote product? I just ordered that and hope mine will turn out as nice.

 

Friend gave me his 3M kit. Pretty slick using the drill attachment to do all the hard work.

 

That's what I currently have and mileage isn't that bad. I average 17 hwy with a lift, some armor, roof rack and rtt. If I am driving backroads with a speed limit of 55 so average of about 60ish I have seen an average of over 19 mpg. I just got my 285/75s so hopefully I don't see a major decease after installing them.

 

New meat showed up yesterday.

 

I replaced the spring dampeners in my old man emu dakar leaf springs (about 5 years old). HUGE difference so far. I can't believe how long I drove with that embarrassing squeak. I hope the new ones stay quiet

 

I wanted to add some bass to my sound system but I didn't want to pull out the plastic shelving system behind my back seats. I looked at the all in one 10 inch sub boxes. Kicker seems to be the best but a little pricey. I'm not trying to win any sound competitions. I looked around and ended up buying the Cerwin-Vega 10 inch one. Reviews had me a little nervous as they varied on how much sound/bass it produced. I will say it provides MORE THAN ENOUGH. I thought about mounting it under the seat as that is what they seemed to be designed for but without adding a spacer to the seat bolts the box is too high to fit. I do notice a little rattle from the plastic of the shelf system vibrating against the metal. Later on I play to add some sound deafening mat back there. For the price I am very happy with the outcome.

Where did you get them? I need this bad!!

 

I ordered these from Headstrong offroad. The pic shows the old yellow ones but there is a note that the actual product is the newer black ones. The black ones are about 20% bigger than the yellow ones.

Been in the same boat as you, except already sound deadened. I've been looking at the Rockford under seat speaker/amps but have yet to pull the trigger.
