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

I personally used loctite 5 min 2 part epoxy, just about 7 drops around the edge to hold them together. Then sealed the void with clear silicone, then again with silicone to be sure. No leaks!

 

What'd you use to paint the lower valence? Plastidip? Looks like a perfect match to the upper grill

 

Love the color of that truck

 

sweet lights!

I also used a 2 part epoxy. Permatex I think...the stuff in the syringe. However I didn't cut the lens off of the housing. I cut the back of the housing just inside of where the lens mounts. Making sure that I kept close to the "channel" into which the lens is glued into. I also cut at an angle to help hide the cut. I was looking to try and keep the stock look to the finish of the lights. It worked really good. Now if you pullout a magnifying glass and look real hard at the lights, you can see the epoxy in a couple of places. But for the most part the cut is totally hidden from sight.
I'd say to cut each light apart took about 15 minutes with the dremel. I think that this way is a little easier and a little more forgiving to minor mistakes, that to try to perfectly cut out the lens.

Maybe, maybe not.

 

Sliders looks good..

 

That looks nice...

 

That is exactly what I want to do... Didn't know it was possible. Is there a write up for this anywhere?

 

I'm gonna cut up my second taillight today, and I'll take some more pics along the way to show the steps.

 

Having a new tire put on now due to this. It is a piece of round rod, I plugged the tire to get home yesterday. I am hoping I can patch it to use as a same size spare

 

Dude that's gnarly. Did it bang up your fender flares any? Bet it made a hell of a noise

 

Where did you get this switch exactly? I got one offline but it's too big for the cut out

 

I just put my 91 toy in the body shop today to get a full restore. My wife thinks i'm crazy for spending so much money on my truck but I love my truck a little bit more then her. LOL. Probably going to be a couple weeks without my truck. day one and I already miss it. I will send pics when its all done. Here is a before Pic.

 

Yup. The inside edge of the flare is banged up as well as the mud flap

 

you sure do paint that thing alot.

oct. 24th, 29th and again.

 

Need better pics

 

That would be deserving of a sticky, put up there with the black headlight mod.
Also, great choice of creative enhancement... Hoegaarden is one of my favorites.

 

Finally am repairing it.

 

Probably here. This is where I got mine.
