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

Passed few days anyway, 18 watt LED additional fogs/camp setup lights in the air dam for less power consumption. LED foot well and puddle lights off the same roof console switch. Rear view mirror camera with back up screen switch in the roof console. Chinesium single side swing out spare tire mount bumper with switched lights, had to get creative with some fir ply and a wooden ammo box, a ratchet strap and a motorcycle jack for the one man install, didn't go badly.
Tried some blackout tinting in the canopy's removable front slider window, I guess I'm doing the rest of them as planned, out of sight out of mind.

 

What tail lights are those?

 

Did the tinting turn out?

If not you may have needed a second ratchet strap

 

Those are alpharex luxx tail lights

 

Note to self!
Good enough for blackout, a true tint, maybe not so much.

A few pictures from the previously mentioned.


Not the roof console switches mentioned but...

 

Hey @Tour991, for your bumper our Squadron-R line of lights would work perfectly. Does that bumper utilize the factory mounting points or does it have a simple flat mounting tab for fog lights? Depending on your intended usage I would recommend looking into the Squadron-R SAEs or the Squadron-R Sports. Let me know if you would like to put together a quote and I can add a forum special and fog light adapters to an order.

Installed my MEWANT (Amazon) sew on steering wheel cover. I had very low expectations since they are so cheap but I must say I'm very impressed. Took about 3 hours without removing the wheel. You need to be patient and take your time but if you do the fit is right on and the kit gives you more than enough materials to do everything right, I have a entire roll of thread left over. I would recommend if you're in the market for one.

 

Do you have a link for this?

 

Wow, I love this idea. I was thinking of getting the mounts that would allow the bike to be mounted on the side of the bed outside of the shell. But would need some cutting to mod it.

Do you just cover over the OEM Steering Wheel & sew it in place?

 

Looks good to me....those lights are so bright, impressive.

 

I installed an OME 3" lift this past Sunday and got new wheels and tires yesterday. Feels like a different truck, in a good way.

 

Was bored and had both time and paint so this happened

 

Just installed these headlights. Perking up the look. Next thing to get is some black wheels.

 

What does this do??? And do i need it?

 

Today the blackout had came loose from the center slider window, 2 out of 3 for a first try isn't so bad I guess.
For 18 watts I guess those lights are alright, they're just additional fogs with less energy consumption than the stockers.
Total fail on the swing out position locker efforts today, a bit of a head scratcher with the materials and tools at hand. It'll come together eventually.

Edit: I'm using the rest of the subpar blackout tint (reviews rated it low!) as curtains by tucking an edge in along the top of the windows trim for roll up blackout curtains which doesn't seem to be such a bad option.
I added short lengths (8 to 9 inches) of 1" webbing material front and back so clipping buckles can be used to hold the curtains up. I still have to work out a rigid length of something along the curtains base to make rolling up and rolled down placement more applicable. One side done, soon the next will be this far as well.

 

Lol I hope you never need it but you probably already have it.

 

what does it do

 

It’s a recovery/ tow hook. Look under the front passenger side of your truck. There should be one there if your truck is still stock. I’ll post a better picture tomorrow.
