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

It's actually custom made

Found this random Decepticon metal badge at work stuck on the hood of a car, pulled it off because I figured I'd find something useful to do with it. Took an old "beware of dog" aluminum sign I had laying around, cut it out in the shape of the Toyota logo, stuck the badge to the unfinished side with 3m trim double sided tape, and then put a few small pieces of the same tape in the grill where the emblem goes and just stuck the emblem on. I'd like to paint the aluminum oval satin black though so it blends into the grille a little better.

Just something I whipped up in about 10 minutes that cost me $0

Not sure what it's name would be... maybe Ivanna Frontdiff (since it's only a PreRunner, LOL)

 

Sometimes Metal Miller makes them to sell. I haven't seen them on here in a while though.

 

Bertha, don't want her getting a big ego!

 

Luckily I did get the wheel and tire warranty when bought truck, went by dealer today. They will have the wheel in tomorrow, getting alignment as well, hopefully speed sensor is okay because it took out my traction control when hit curb and they fixed it for me today but said it might be bad. hit the curb at about 40 mph

 

Snapped a pretty cool picture on my way home from camp yesterday. Figured it was worth sharing:

 

Metal miller a member name?

 

Yeah, It's MetalMiller, you can search his name and see some of the work he has done.

Edit: There is a pic of his Decepticon emblem on this thread http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/detailing/163200-transformer-emblem.html

 

I put 84067 miles on mine today!


Okay... only about 90 TODAY...

 

Thanks

 

Finished cutting out the switch holes to fit the OTRATTW switches and wiring them up. I swapped out the factory foglight switch w/ an OTRATTW switch to make them all match...but I can't get it to light up the bottom bar when turned on. Other than that all is good. The bottom two are not attached to any lights yet...just the dash light to illuminate them.

Factory system is ground-true logic and the OTRATTW switches are not directly compatible unless you get creative.

 

THANKS Rich...

It was odd...if I wired them a certain way I couldn't even get them to turn off at all. I was thinking that I would just cut the fogs out of the system all together and just wire them up like any other aux light system.

 

Some Before & After Pics of the new APEX Sliders/IFS Skid & Thule Rack installed...

 

took some more parts off to sell... sadly

 

Nothing major yet. Just installed alarm w/ remote start, window deflectors, weather tech digital mats, black tubebbars, and waiting for the bed cover. Not sure of exhaust yet,

 

Cover is an access, and I do have the factory rails. I had it done at a local truck shop. The removed the rails, installed the cover, sealed it and put the rails back on. Everything is still usable. Guys that did it were Monmouth Truck.

 

Got my new tires put on and gave her a MUCH needed bath!

* Forgot to add (no pic) my new Weather Tech's the wife got me! *

The problem is, I followed this thread on what tire size I could go up to and now my tires rub!

Guess I will try to remove my mudflaps first and see if that helps....if that doesn't, then it may be time for some Billies!

Any other suggestions?

 

What size tires did you put on?
