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

Nice. Where did you get your taillights if you dont mind? Are they straight plug and play?

 

they are factory

remove tail light, wet sand with 2000grit, clean, dry, tape off back up/park/brake light, nite shade 1-3 coats for desired blackness, untape, PPG clearcoat, reinstall.

total cost $20. if you dont have a gun to spray a quality clear i'd pay a bodyshop to clear them. will never get chalky or fade like aerosol clear.

 

Where did you get this? i need 2!

 

ebay... not bad for $20. i took a little time to counter sink my tapered allen bolts in and to improve on the bottle opening part (where the 2 castings were put together there was a seam that restricted the bottle cap from getting where it needed to be). took maybe 30 mins with a dremel to get it in perfect working order with a real clean install. Used all stainless steel hardware.. and the moose is cast iron

 

You did an amazing job! Looks awesome

 

Red is actually best for preserving night vision. Astronomy hobby and pro level telescope electronic controls have red displays and red LED flashlights are marketed for stargazers.

Anything other than white is going to cause problems reading some colors.
Even under a street light digging in a pull box, you can't discern a white neutral from a yellow signal conductor... and older, slightly faded red, will also look white.

 

Wheels and Tires

 

Put my Zombie Outbreak Response Team Decal on and my B.A.M.F. Bed Rail Tie Downs

 

Here are a few pictures of my Lower tie downs I installed, plus a few on the tailgate. The fittings pull out when not in use.

 

got some more recent pics!

 

I am well versed in reading maps under red light. If you need to see directly in front of you or see detail you need red.* The center 1.5% of your retina (the fovea) which provides you with most detailed vision is packed almost exclusively with red sensitive cones. This is why a majority of gauges are red/orange.

Just some food for thought.

 

Been playin around with my wheels. So far I have green, chrome, and red inserts now.

 

Good looking truck!

 

Drove to lake Lila in ny.

 

Finished my satoshi last week, so I ordered some hella 500's and an hid kit, those came and I got that converted and installed the two behind the new grill, tested it out, I'm amazed out how well it works and how good it looks.

 

Not much time lately. Got the lift level.

 

Prep & paint. I'll be in the driveway installing in about 2 hours.

 

getting rid of some chrome

 

Top side. Install in 1 hour, maybe.
