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

I bought a Barcelona Red TRD Sport DCLB within the year and have just started down the slippery slope of upgrades. Here's where I'm at so far, in order:

Toyota all weather floor mats
Door sill protectors
Thule Bed Rider
Leer 180 insulated, light, 50/50 windows
Windows tinted (30% up front, factory in rear)
Go Rhino Dominator II in black - on its way
ToyTec 3" Annodized Black spacer, diff drop, rear AAL 2.5" - on it's way (looking for a mechanic too)

Debating on sticking with factor 265/65/17 duellers, but suspect they'll look small and wimpy after the lift is installed. Leaning 285/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac or Nitto Terra Grappler... looking for good mileage, no significant power drop, low sound, and moderately beefy. Debating spidertrax wheel spacers. Also want AFE dry filter and maybe cold air intake...

 

Got new tires. 255/85 R16 BFG KM2's.

 

Just redid my taillights, don't worry they are still transparent

 

if you go with the AFE dry filter you'll already have a cold air intake. so no need for anything else.

 

nothing, no money for the next few months

 

Thats def different with the 20'' rims. Id color match it. DSM for the win

Detailed mine too and took off the dented bumper, took some new pictures - see build thread. And put on the the tacoma world sticker. Lift is going on this weekend and LED striping

 

NICE LOOKING TRUCK!

 

I did this yesterday but just figured how to post pics from my tablet lol

 

That TACOMA badge on ur tailgate is awesome. Think I'm gonna have to copy you on that ... in about 5 months when things thaw out up here.

 

Ive wanted one for the longest time. Where did you get it from?

Ya, im sure the paint wouldnt stick too well. Wasent sure about it at first but now I really like it. Looks even better with the black bumper, there should be a picture in my build.

 

I wanna replace my chrome bumper with either color matched (silver) or black. I'm on the waiting list for a grill from HomerTaco, so I'm holding off for that and warm weather before I proceed with my "get rid of the chrome" mission. What did you use to reattach the badge...3m tape?

 

Good call on the grill, best investment so far. I powder coated mine, really durable, no problems with scratching. Backed into a wall and didnt damage the paint, going to pop the dent out this weekend.

Im not really sure what tape i used. Think it is 3m carpet tape for exterior use. It was just sitting around. The best is

$7 3m VHB 100x200mm~ (4" X8") Double Sided Foam Adhesive Sheet Tape 5952 Automotive Mounting Industrial Grade Very High Bond 5952 (1 Sheets 100x200mm)

3m VHB auto tape. Id recomend that for your location.

 

$7 3m VHB 100x200mm~ (4" X8") Double Sided Foam Adhesive Sheet Tape 5952 Automotive Mounting Industrial Grade Very High Bond 5952 (1 Sheets 100x200mm)

3m VHB ... gotta remember that ... Thanks!

 

Couldn't even tell they were Ebays. Looks just like factory 09 and up TRD headlights.

 

When I did my badges I used 3m automotive double sided tape. Worked great.

And what did it cost?

 

You can find it at your local dealership or even eBay or that trdparts website

 

I used it to drive to a yard sale where I found this for $10.

It looks like an ordinary offroad gas can.



But wait, it opens up for waterproof storage.



It has a tooltank.com sticker on the side of, but I can't find it anywhere on line. But I only spent about 5 minutes looking it up.

 

Not the exact one you have pictured, but I found this in only a few seconds. $115, but currently sold out: http://www.autoanything.com/bumpers/69A5795A0A0.aspx

 

I installed one of my Redline Hood struts, Sinus' are kickin my arse today..
