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

Bilstein 6112’s with AllPro UCA’s up front, 5160’s out back with AllPro Expedition leaf packs, RCI full skids, new steering rack and lines, ECGS bushing/needle bearing delete, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T’s and Softtopper installed. (Maybe not all today, but a good bath required the summary post.)

 

RCI engine and transmission skids with catalytic converter shields installed.

 

Ordered a RCI front skid plate for Black Friday.

 

I installed c4 fender liners: youtube

 

Now I'm looking at an exhaust reroute so I can get their flat transfer case skid. It's a slippery slope

 

TBH, I don't have a reason to even get the front skid plate lol. But, I like doing stuff to my truck and saved a bit for Black Friday. I probably won't go any further with skid plates. Maybe one day i'll throw some sliders on to protect against parking lot door dings. Once my kid gets a little older i'll have more time to venture out and put the truck through its paces. For now, its a work commuter.

 

LOL, I started shopping for catalytic converter shields--which is my most immediate need because I park on the street in Seattle--but when I found RCI's sale I used it as an excuse to upgrade my underbody protection. My new (to me) '07 is an SR5, so it only had the front factory skid plate. The additional protection will give me peace of mind on my way to and from hard to reach trailheads though.

 

i like that look a lot! though those bolts are super overkill! but i do like that sort of thing!

 

Put on a Bestop supertop today. Now I can haul stuff in the rain.

 

I missed the big event

 

Yes it is. But that flat belly look is so sexy!!

 

Strictly cosmetic but I took the fog light bezels off and spray painted them with textured black Krylon Fusion. They were looking very faded and back-to-black stuff was just a temporary band aid. Now it matches my lower bumper insert which I painted last year with Krylon Fusion too. I also changed out my Osram high wattage bulbs today to high wattage Xenon white bulbs 100W/80W. I'm curious to see how the light output compares to the Osram's. And just for the record, whoever at Toyota designed those headlight bulb retention clips was drunk that day.

 

1 Fell out huh?

 

Yes on the passenger side. I had to pull the washer fluid container out so I could get my hands down in there.

 

Finally had a minute to wire up the BD sports and pop in a new switch.

FYI: threading 20’ of wire by hand into split loom sucks!

 

i really need to wire the lights that were under my truck when I purchased it. looked for fuses and bad wires off and on for a couple days looked like the guy did like half the wiring. switch in and installed and fictional never connected them to the wiring of the lights. I ended up pulling the switch out because i went another route

 

This is my favorite aftermarket bumper but damn it's a pretty penny for it. Looks great on your truck!

 

No use now since you painted the bezels, but for anything else I would give Solution Finish a try. It’s a back to black plastic restorer that IMO works the best. It’s actually a black liquid/gel and I think that helps as opposed to a clear/opaque product.

 

I'll definitely keep that in mind for the rest of my trim!

 

Do y'all have your pistols locked up when your in the car? Seems like it may take to much time to get to it
