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

Got the new tires installed today!

I also painted the oem center caps with some rattle cans.

 

Installed some r1 concepts rotors and pads

 

I like it. But I'm also biased. I run a white shell over my silver taco. I've debated paint or wrap too but ended up leaving it for now. I don't hate it and I've always said it gives me two tone k5 blazer vibes

 

So.... stupid question.... what long term, negative impacts are possible if one does not install sensors in new wheels? I mean, from my first truck (1964 Chevy C-10) up to now, I have always manually monitored the air pressure. It's just another unecessary expense or am I missing something?

 

No long term effects. You'll just have to live with the light on the dash. Just monitor your pressures like you always have...the old school way...and you'll be fine

 

Same thing @3Riverz88 said however I just HATE the pesky yellow warning light. I only paid around $50-$60 for a full set on AMZ and have them in 2 trucks for 2 years now. To me the worst thing about having them is getting a warning light when a tire is only 2 psi low.

 

$400!!! That is a steal! I'm picking up a used one today for waaaaay more than that. Waaaaay more...

 

Can I ask what fenders you have? I’m a sucker for carbon fiber

 

Yea it was one of those right place, right time scenarios. I knew I would never find a deal like that again so I paid up lol.

 

Can't buy a used softopper for that little.

 

Not so much what I did today but this past week...RF upper BJ, helper springs in the rear and than I threw together a diy bed slider. I had everything on hand so it cost free... It's almost full bed length (worked with what I had).I have a decked system with cargo tie down tracks. I fit the slider in between the tracks and that keeps it from moving side to side and still allows me access to the tracks. I was worried about it sliding towards the tailgate cause its not full length but its been fine. A few days now of highway and city miles with a coupe of hard stops and rough roads with no movement. I didn't use rollers of any kind. The wood slides on the composite drawer system really well.

 

Yeah they’re from FIBERWERX

 

I removed my radar detector wiring and Scan gauge.
Tomorrow I’ll take off the sliders and rear bumper

 

New headlight bulbs + failed attempt at swapping the AC clutch... need a compact impact wrench cause that bolt is not coming off by hand

 

Have you considered the “ultimate headlight mod”.

 

Where are you located? I have an electric impact driver.

 

I'll have to look into that, thanks!

 

Thanks for the offer, but I'm in Eastern Ontario Canada

 

Way far away

 

Those are great imo
