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

I changed out my headlights (BHLM). Blackshirts did a good job with actually doing the mod. I just swapped out the headlight.

 

Finally had some time to install all of these parts that have been collecting dust in my garage:

NFab light bar
Grillcraft Grill
Relocated the horns by the battery
PIAA 520 SMR Lights behind grill (110 watt bulbs)
PIAA 510(converted to HID) on light bar

I had to weld up some spacers to mount the 510s under the bar because of the reinforcement bracket on either end.

 

Window tint!

Was driving home from the gym today and passed a tint shop, pulled in for a quote and 45 minutes later drove off with tinted windows..

Hoping to add some aftermarket 16x8 wheels soon and an aux input.

 

Installed TRD CAI & TRD Exhaust - both for less than $600 total and less than 1 1/2 hours worth of work. Taco roars now!!

 

Tested out 4-lo, no problems:







Then I washed her,

Before:







After:





Low 50's today, 4 two days ago! WTF, I guess I shouldn't complain.

 

That's true. lol

 

I just installed Hankook 265/75 16 Dynapro ATms on my 2012 TRD (6 spd by the way). I have 3 offers on the BFGs:



Steve in Albuquerque

It got up to 58 today!

 

Washed the outside and took the shop vac to the inside.

 

Got the same tires last year, love them. Rotate every 5K miles and I just turned over 30K on them and they told me at the tire store they are not even half worn yet. I run 30 front, 28 rear as I did the chalk test and that is what is required to keep the tire flat on the road. Nice truck!

 

Started installing my Sienna Heated Mirrors, Installed my Illuminated 4x4 switch, and tomorrow I will finish most of the heated mirror work, install some bed tie downs, wash her, and take a shop van and armor all to the inside.

 

Did the Air rite air bags today. What a pain in the ass. When I did these on my 2006 2wd they where very, very easy to do. On the 2012 4wd it is a lot more involved and you need midget hands for the bolts.

A few suggestions for anyone doing this. First, use a saw zaw with a very course wood blade for cutting the bumpers. Second, remove the spare tire. Third, get a friend with small hands. And more than a couple of hours.

 

Picked up my grill surround from the body shop. And some Heave duty velcro for when My HIDs show up. Now if the mesh would get here I could finish this Satoshi...

 

installed the ezdown on the gate, had to drill out a bolt and the cable doesnt fold right, gate is now shifted over a 1/8th of an inch. but at least I dont have to listen as people let the gate drop. gotta work on the cable issue.

 

Installed my bed mat.

 

Installed my new BAKFLIP F1. Looks great and the fit was excellent.

 

I love mine, nice to see another satisfied owner.

 

My local dealer replaced the heater motor under TSB. Now it doesn't make that annoying noise on low speed.

 

hmm hope mine goes okay, Just ordered this a few days ago.

 

Nice ride! Let me know if you ever want to sell the cap!

 

bought some silver vinyl and did the angry eyes
