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

Slapped on some Level 8 ZX 17x9 with Falken Rocky Mountain 265/70/17 wrapped around.

 

filled her up and gave her a much needed bath and cleaned out/vaccumed the inside.

 

Did the low beams on with high beam mod on lunch break.. temporary til I get home to solder it up. Opening up the skewp and continuing work on the satoshi this weekend. She needs a bath and cleaned out inside.

 

looks good!

 

Not today, but late last night, I did a fully custom "disable one fog light" mod.

I hit a deer and folded in that entire corner of my bumper. I didn't see any damage to the headlight or the fender. Hopefully I got lucky enough that I can just push the bumper back out.

Pics coming as soon as I get a break from work this morning.

 

Did the exact same thing today too! A few hours of detailing!

 

Here's the damage.

 

Installed a set of these in the bed last night.

 

You got off lucky if the only damage is to that lower part of the bumper...

 

I will know for sure tomorrow when I have time to run by the shop. Plan is to pull it off and hit it from the back with a heat gun then try pushing it back into it's original shape.

I was still traveling at near highway speeds when I made contact with the deer. Very surprised that's all that happened to the truck.

 

Looks sweet. Where did you get the White LED lights for them???

 

If the deer don't grow any taller than that in GA I'll stick to hunting in MS!

 

Been demoding it. I got tired of the look and decided to go back to more of a street truck look lol. I was only driving 30 miles a day now I drove over 100 between gym, work, school.

I sold my off-road bumper and my 18 inch wheels and 33 inch mickey thompson they had enough tread left so I got a descent penny. I was tired of the noise on the highway. I traded for some 16x8 dick cpeck torque wheels which are brand spanking new! I'm also taking my boot money and buying some new all-terain tires whenever I can decide what I want, I want something aggresive looking in a way but something that can handle some descent off-road but ride good. Main thing is I can handle a little hum but I want to be able to have a conversation in the truck which no joke with my old grapplers you either had the radio on or turn down the radio to have a conversation because the grapplers was just that loud!

From this..



to this




I weighed my truck before and after here at work.

4580 with the mud grapplers and bumper

4300 with the new set up lol.

 

Bought an FJ Cruiser shifter to replace OEM TRD-OR shifter. Excited for it to come in the mail in the next week.

 

When it comes in would you PM me a couple pics like those in my shifter thread so that I can add it to the knowledge base?

Thread is here: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/253476-shift-knob.html

 

Sure can! I found one pic on here before of an FJ shifter but it looked like it had been chopped shorter or something. I ended up with the black with the silver trim too so it will match my interior.

 

Thanks! 3157's from http://www.putco.com/products.cfm?action=ProductView&Id=9ac2e07b-df8c-1992-9078-7540c16dd87f

 

I get hyperflashing (where the turn signal blinks really fast) with the LED's.I have to do the hyper flash mod or put a resistor in the turn signal wire eventually. Blinking fast doesn't really bother me that much though. I did the LED's mostly for the DRL's.

 

They sell a blinker relay that is specific for led bulbs, I think they're around $15.

 

May I suggest the Firestone Destination A/Ts, I've had them on my jeep and now my Taco. Great all around tire, and tons of traction when you need it most
