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

Now that's a deal!

 

stolen? lol

 

I put 265/75/16 Falken Rocky Mountain ATS on the truck, an alignment, and new battery today. And then proceeded to test the tires on a few trails I know. Alot better than stock as far as traction goes.

 

Help out Hiatt1991 install these bad boys pretty beefy

 

put my bull bar on during lunch

 

Things I've done to my 2012 in the last couple of days: removed secondary air filter, replaced stock filter with a K&N one, yellow wire mod, removed front mudflaps, coated emblems and grille with black plastidip.

I did the emblems yesterday but I only took one picture today. Hard to actually tell what they look like because it has been raining all morning. Anyway, know that they are black and very subtle looking now.



Here is how my front end looked when I bought it.



Here is how it looks now.



Meaner? I think so. Will look even better once I get my bull bar. Now I just need to cover the chrome on my rear bumber. Hopefully I can do that tomorrow if it stays dry. I also bought some VHT nightshade for the tail lights. Still debating painting my rims black or not. I definitely like the spruce green mica with black accents look though.

 

Replaced the factory brake pads 84k. They still had life left in them.

 

Just put in a set of CrystalVision Ultra Headlight bulbs in (Pain in the ass on passenger side!!)......



...now starting the wires for my LED bedlights.

 

Unbolt the washer resi and it's simple. (2) bolts removed and you save your knuckles

 

Looks good...did you remove the grill surround, or did you just tape it off?

 

I just taped it off really carefully. I was super paranoid about keeping the plastidip out of the radiator. I left all the non-chrome colored pieces alone and it ended up matching extremely well.

 

Almost, granted I had to spend a whole 6 dollars at lowes to get mounting hardware.... Nothing against the guy I got it from, but he was amazed I was going to install it myself, so needless to say the dude has more money than brains.

... ^^^ ... Nice truck .... in your signature ... you parked in Sandy Springs (over close to COSTCO) ... beside Arby's Main office .... ??? ...

Looks like the top parking deck over by the new office buildings ... I thought about taking a photo of my buddies GTO there also ...

I did do that.

 

LED Bedlights are done!

I put a small writeup in my LED post: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/li...ed-leds-cupholders-console-6.html#post4703359

 

Is that the twin buildings near 400 right off 285? Don't know what they are called, but I actually did some work in the 2nd one years back when under construction. Worked for a construction co. installing the sprinkler heads.

 

Finally got my Pro Comp 8179 wheels mounted. There 17x9 w/ 4.75 BS, with a 1.5" All Pro spacer for the wide look. Though the spacers didnt allow me to put on the center caps. Im still happy

Yep, you are correct and I know where you worked.

I have lived here for a long time but still had to google those road names and I am over there 3 or 4 times a week too.

That building (that I am thinking of, where he may have taken those photos) is south of Mount Vernon Road ... between Perimeter Center Road & Peachtree Dunwoody Road. COSTCO is on Peachtree Dunwoody and one side of the Perimeter Mall is on Perimeter Center Road.

In the last few years, they have built about 10 new buildings over in that area with last one for Cox Enterprises I think. That area is growing like crazy.

Thanks! That's actually the top of the Arby's parking deck lol. A buddy of mine work at Arby's corporate and recommended it. It's a pretty nice spot to shoot pics. I'm trying to find another spot to shoot at in Atlanta.

 

I washed and cleaned, Did a pain touch up on all visable rock chips, and put on some EGR vent visors...
