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

No cutting or splicing. It’s a plug and play kit.

 

I can’t wait to fire these up tomorrow!

 

Not annoying at all, I've got a set of retrofits in my garage that I need to crack open and reseal, and I want to paint match them while I'm at it. Any tips for not burning the house down?

 

I preheated at 300, turned it off and then let it sit in there 10-12mins.

 

ordered the 05-11...

Install instuctions.... In step 7 add a dab of goop adhesive to help keep nuts in slot (have a tendency to fall out during install)... watched a video of a guy that had to remove the light probably 6 times to keep putting the nuts back in place after they fell out of slot while trying to get mounting screws installed.... hurt to watch.

You'll need the right mounts for them obviously. Quick google search helps with that. Go MAX if you can afford it.

 

What's te fundamental differences?

 

Output mostly.

 

Color matched aerocatch hood pins.

 

The WHY? question comes to mind...

 

Go fast offroad and you'll see.

 

Been there, done that.

 

No offense, but a six cylinder Tacoma cannot go fast. At least the one I own with a manual gear box is anything but fast. I will say that for a 4 wheel drive (TRD Sport) it holds the road surprisingly well. But fast? NOT!

 

New bumpers, winch on front camera!
A group of Tacomaworld friends came to help!

 

I dunno, supercharged with meth injection can be fun.

 

Painted my hood. Clear coat damage is a bitch.

 

We’re almost there!

 

If you wanna make another set. I'd be interested in purchasing them.

 

Put some new wheels on with toyo open country 265/70R17. Had a little rubbing on turns so I removed the mud flaps. No issues now. I will want a 2 inch lift at some point in the future. Love the aggressive look it gave it.

I also blacked out the steering wheel(minus the volume switch - does anyone have a solution for that? ).

Then I did the voltage boost upgrade after adding an agm interstate battery from costco 24F.

I used a 1 amp diode from O'Reilly autonparta for 4 bucks and added it to an add a fuse plug with a 7.5 fuse with it.
