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

I got sideways in the rain on a corner on purpose, no cars around nothing crazy and rode it out too.

Hi guys, Im from the Philippines and just wanted to share our version of your Tacoma. Hilux 3.0 Diesel








Thinking of taking out all the chrome and making it matte black. Watcha guys think?

 

Man id kill for a hilux, nice looking ride

 

Pretty truck man! Yeah it would look even cooler with less chrome

 

Welcome to TW TEAMJM. I am an old fart and like chrome. However I would have the side steps and the mirror covers either anodised or powder coated black, I would leave the badges chromed FTW.

Very sweet Tacoma you have there.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome 95SLE

On my mind, i was basically taking out the chrome side mirror and door handles and basically leaving the badges chromed. Will think about the side steps thanks!

 

A lot of members will be of your Hilux Diesel. They lust after it in their sleep.

 

Took it in for my 5000 mile service, went back to work and told my boss that I wasn't coming back.

 

Man, thay Hilux is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

 

Nice ride teamjm! That should fan the flames of diesel Hilux envy here a bit.

Anyway... New wheels, tires, and TPMS yesterday:



Michelin LTX M/S2 in 265/70-16. Wider, but no taller than stock. Looks a little beefier without messing up the speedometer:



New TPMS from eBay. Seller was great and at $162 for 4, a lot cheaper than the stealership.

 

Moved it again so my Dad could drive the GTR. Waiting for the lowering kit and trying to decide where to ask for a drivers bedside since my wheel fell off.....


Here's a pic of my truck and the GTR, didnt see when i posted about it a bit back to post a pic lol

 

I painted and Installed my avid bar and skid plate.

 

Why is the hood scoop off centered? OCD senses tingling... :twitch:

That would drive me nuts...

Other than that, that Hilux looks sweet

 

The flux capacitor is more towards the passenger side and needs more air flow to work properly.

I believe that scoop is functional, and it is placed where it is because of how the engine sits in the bay.

Am I the only one who thinks the modern Hilux is kinda Ugly? I much prefer the looks of the Tacoma.

But that Diesel... droooooool

 

So the driver can see over the bonnet

 

WOW!... sick! that thing will run forever!! here is a link to the Top Gear destruction of a hilux on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnWKz7Cthkk . I wish I could get one!

nice ride!

 

I like the look of our Tacomas better, but I think that Hilux still looks pretty good.

yeah... I guess I already knew why when I asked, haha. I was more asking why the hell Toyota didn't just lengthen the air intake tube or something to make it centered. haha

 

Haha , my theory doesn't fly anyway if it's right hand drive

 

missed it, since i am deployed and its sitting in the drive way, i think i might cry right now
