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

Ah man, for a second I was excited and thought it was a way to make the S1 pods into a helmet light - then I realized you're just attaching them to the plastics on a dirt bike and that's less exciting.

 

Yeah, BD got out of mountain biking, but if I remember correctly they got their start in biking. I remember they used to be at all the races.

 

Hey @elricfate, you are correct on the first part. We use the S1 on our mountain bikes and have them mounted to a handlebar mount wired up to a 12v battery source. It provides more than enough light for the speeds you are doing on a mountain bike.
Best,

Your truck is nice af. A lot of $$$ in that bad boy. My taco wants to be like yours when he grows up

Before & after, tailgate handle and rear under carriage. So far I’m impressed with the FLUID FILM BLACK, was impressed by the regular FLUID FILM through this past winter.

Finally hooked up my Diode Dynamics SSC2. @memario1214 @Diode Dynamics

 

Balljoint c clamp lookin thing?

 

I wonder if they started making those in strobe yet.

I know they have strobe option for the 1” hitchpod that plugs between stock wiring.

 

Had a headlight bulb go out… Perfect excuse to buy a whole new headlight assembly lol. Also decided to change a few other things while I was at it.
But all of this was done pretty cheap! Prices below:

Yup, or a shop press. To remove the OE bushings, I used my bottle jack between the two legs pressing outward while I applied heat to the LCA, popped right out and shot across the garage - aim it away from anything that might get wrecked, they can fly out with some force if you have enough pressure on them.
