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

what would be a fair price to have the oracle tint applied to front windows only? and what would be the proper % to come close to matching the rear windows of my access cab that came with factory tint/privacy glass?

 

Thats great info Clyde, sorry for the wrong terminology. To me anything that filters sunlight would be called tint whether its plastic film or vinyl, but that's simply because I have no real experience with tinting. I had the Gila vinyl IN my house for years and it was great, never considered it acting any differently outside, I'll update any wear and tear issues with the Gila vinyl I have on there now!

 

Random question guys... how important is it to use extended length lug nuts running after market rims? And where is the best place to buy them?

 

Created my build thread... I would rather be modding my truck than building a web page...lol

 

Join the club. I finally got back to updating mine after months of my last post

 

Installed JumperLEDs in Map/Dome/Reverse lights. Bright - white - clean install.

 

lol

 

I update my build page as I order parts. It's a way to keep dreaming about my truck while I'm 6,000 miles away from it haha.

 

Removed the horrible spacers and installed 5100's all around and fogs

 

Just out for a rip are ya bud?

 

Trans cooler.

 

Hang in there bro! I was stationed in Seoul for 4 years quite a ways back. Loved it! And I was fortunate enough to have my vehicle shipped over there as well. It was a "98" Pre-runner... I had it lowered at the time, and the Koreans loved it...

Keep updating your build! Only you know if it's on there or not...lol

 

Why do you need two? or is the other the Engine oil?

 

That's engine oil yep. I've got an aux tranny cooler very similar to that.

 

Notice any difference ???

 

You want tint not vinyl on your windows. Oracal is vinyl. Vinyl doesn't not have the clarity nor the heat rejection and UV protection film has. I charge $80 for two front roll ups. That is a premium film with a nation wide lifetime warranty. If you meter the rears, they vary from 26-18 depending on the year. They have gotten lighter through the years. I would put 20 on the front to "match" the rear. The fronts will always look a bit lighter since your windshield is right there letting light through. I do have a plotter if anyone wants to try to tint their ride themselves, I can sell you the patterns for your truck. Same with the clearbra and patterns. Happy Monday to you all!

 

I thought engine oil cooler was under the oil filter mount?

 

That's just the piece that the hoses connect to to take it to the cooler.

 

That's more fab work than I can do.

You're gonna cover that big gap with an aluminum skid plate or something right? That's a lot of radiator to leave vulnerable.

 

X2... my rad is destroyed from the stupied OE set up that allows just about everything to hit it....thats why I covered ti up with mesh when I got a aftermarket bumper.
