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

damn

 

How is the output on it and quality. Ive seen them on Craigslist but didnt know if he has good ones

 

I have to agree bud No steps.....these trucks aren't tall to even really ever need them. Even with a lift....no need for them.

It is your truck though. You like them...keep them

90% of people on here hate my truck but I don't care. I'll keep it like I want it. my .02Cents

 

That's badass, but I bet those oblong wheels make for a quite a disconcerting ride.

 

Well they serve two purposes... assholes door dinging me will screw their own shit up on the tubes before it hits my doors, and the girl doesn't need a ladder to get in... i'll see how they hold up, and if I get sick of them they'll disappear.

As far as your truck. I dig it. the wheels, the headlights... I need to get around to cracking open my headlights and doing SOMETHING with em. Plus Oregons my alma mater. jealous your still in the euge

 

I like our trucks without them, but if you are going to lift your truck, step bars might be helpful. If you are going to keep them, have them sprayed. Get a do it yourself kit from raptor liner and save some cash. Either way, the chrome's gotta go.

6" inch lift and no step bar? How tall are you?

 

The door dings.....OH THE FUCKIN DOOR DINGS

Don't get me started with that....I hear ya man...keep them! Paint them to match the truck or something to make it different. It's your truck bud....do whatever you want

 

I'm 6'3"...but still....they aren't tall trucks by any means....unless I see it differently.

 

My buddy had them on his truck way back. He painted them grey.

 

Mine are like satin black...

They just look shiny because they also got some wax

Besides the lights, theres not a lick of chrome on it. It was one of the first things to go

 

After my buddy followed me to the Duck game Saturday and told me my taillights aren't bright enough, I ordered these (cree leds) while tailgating. Mailman just dropped them off. They make a world of difference. Shit ton more light.










Also made another light up whip (last Friday) for tailgating Saturday. Has remote that changes functions, color, make your own color, blah blah. I had it at White to go with the green Saturday night.

 

My last truck was a Chevy Colorado with a total of 9" of lift and 35" tires with no steps. I am only 5' 10". I had to hop a little to get it but it still didn't seem that tall.

 

WELL SHIT!!!! I thought they were chrome with black plastic steps. They look better from that angle

 

Where did you get it and how much?

I am planning on wrapping my CB antenna with LEDs. Did you heat shrink them? If so what size did you use?

 

I'm working on whip 4, 5 and 6......

Yeah..wrap the antenna, heat shrink, purty much done deal. I might start selling them! 1" shrink.

 

Did you use the 3/4" or 1" heat shrink? I heard to use 1" but I feel like that wouldn't shrink enough.

 

I'll let you know on output (bright as F@$% in daytime) after tonight. Seems to be built really well and feels heavy duty though. Not flimsy by any means. It also has CREE led's and thats what i was mainly looking for when i got mine. There are some cheaper 50" curved bars out there but not with CREE's.

1".....I actually wish it would shrink a teeny bit more but it does the job and looks good.


The last couple 2 or 3 pages in my thread has more of a writeup I did...http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/li...ed-leds-cupholders-console-bed-lights-28.html

 

Wow I am suprised its not cheaper on ebay. You should look into Platt Electric. They stock 3M 4' heatshrink; 3/4" for $6.50 and 1" for $9. I am not sure what part of Oregon your in but they have a few down there.
