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

Put a 15 gallon auxilary fuel tank in the bed, under my toolbox.

 

Installed bumper.

 

I like the look of the front. Any write-ups or build page for your truck? I am particularly interested in the LED strips under the lights. Any close up pictures or how to?

 

I really dig your truck. So clean and simple. I always thought white letters out look good on white Tacos.

 

My build thread isn't all that active but the LED lights under the headlight are the same as those on the XSP-X model. There's a generic version available on ebay.

 

I decided I didn't want the silver running boards..


So I made them black using dupli-color semi-gloss..

 

Thanks for answering jp for me ACEk.

Happy w results. Is pretty smooth when you're done.

 

Very nice. Will that pump into OEM tank?

 

Looks great but did white even cross yer mind for second?
It would've been very different but hard keep clean I guess I dunno.
Still, it looks very good.

 

Damn man...looks awesome!

 

Interesting that u opted to tape/paper off ur truck instead of unbolting it from ur truck. Looks good tho

 

Thanks bud

Really liking your truck, Andrew !


I washed mine (yesterday)... Again.
And derp'd my grill, there was too many rock-chips in the paint.
Also installed the TRD emblem, and relocated my horns/temp sensor...

 

yes. tied into the factory filler neck. just flip a switch and watch your fuel gauge climb.

 

90k maintenance:
Rear diff oil
Front diff oil (Drain plug stripped BAD. Had to use the hammer/chisel method)
Transfer case oil
Spark plugs
Flushed power steering fluid
Air filter
Wipers

With the Advance Auto coupon on the home page, this cost me $105. And I used Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil!

 

No problem. Feel free to add to or change as necessary to match your routine.

 

Removed the TRD Sport decals from the rear quarter panels.
Hair dryer to remove then used Goo Gone Spray Gel (not the paint stuff) to take of the adheasive.

Took about 8 minutes per decal as the Goo Gone gel is less aggressive than the paint grade Goo Gone.

Washed the area with car soap and done.

 

What grill is that? Looks great!
