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

Thanks! My hands hurt but it was worth it.

 

Got to have a lot of patience.

I tried body decals. What a pain to keep things align straight. Plus where I live, there's a lot of distractions.

 

I applied the body decals wet so that I can move them around in position then squeegee then on and let sit for about 3 hours before pulling off the transfer paper. The decals on the fender flares I applied those dry since they're smaller but yeah it takes ALOT of patience.

 

dude that look great!

wanna fly up to NoVA and do my DCLB in matte red?

 

Looks real sharp!

I so need to get one! Been putting it off.

 

Thanks man! I was originally gonna do it in red matte chrome but the wifey talked me out of it. I promised myself I wouldn't do this again lol. My bro lives in Chesapeake, VA

 

I had to remove this brush guard to get these lights in. I like the way your light bar is mounted, I'm gonna have to copy that. Your truck looks good!

 

We also live in Chesapeake and the wife has a place on your latitude in Melbourne.

 

I had to put new mounting screws and some spacers on the light bar(then washer & nut on top), and obviously drilled new holes to mount it...but it fits tight and solid. You just have to measure figure out how long of mounting bolts you need and or spacers(they were like a small tube+washers)
I figured out I only had to tilt my brush guard in order to swap out the headlights. So I only removed the top mounting bolts and then just held the brush guard up with bungee cords. Having quick disconnects on the lights helped out a lot.

Thanks Man, your Tacoma looks good too. I am going to be getting some Wildpeaks soon.

 

Yeah I've been to Melbourne several times. The inlaws used to live right on A1A in the South Shores subdivision. Doug Flutie lived right across the road on the beach. Used to see him out there on the jetskis.

 

Pic of your truck from the side please!

 

I am always amazed at the amount of vacant huge beach houses for sale on A1A between Melbourne and Sebastions Inlet. Wifes brother built his retirement home on 1/3 of his 3.5 acres in Palm Bay. We were going to split the land but didn't want to maintain it while living here in VA. He cleared all the trees and it is still available to us. After wife retires it may be a good investment for developing as it still has 4 plotted addresses. The townhouse serves us well as the cheap HOA fee covers the yard and painting expense and it does have a small garage. She flies there every month. Cheap living there (except the car insurance). Time will tell.

 

Or is this what you wanted?

 

not the kids for me, my wife is becoming craftier, and by crafty, I mean she love projects and has 0 problems going out to my shop and grabbing what she needs to use, sometimes it's put back but in the wrong place, sometimes she just puts it in my mobile tool cart.

 

Good looking truck!

 

Yep, it definitely does. I can get you a pic after work today.

 

Epic!!!

 

Thanks to this forum, I was able to snag one for 50% off. Too sweet of a deal to pass on.

 

I applied the decals wet. The heat was against me.

The hard part was working clean. It didn't matter how clean the surface was, there was always something that got under the decal.
