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

Meh, not all car washes are evil. The place I take my truck to does it all by hand. Pressure washing, filtered water, frame sprayer and I don't have to bust my ass in the heat? I'll spend that $20 a week for it.

 

thanks
I had missed out on the B/S/T always a dollar short or day late.
but these were buried on VT CL back from Aug no pic so text the guy, he said yep so I and handed the man the $

 

TRS LED foglights went in today. Would have been much easier if I had factory fogs, but I managed to work through it.

 

Got a write up on that Jack? On my list someday

 

Washed it today after installing a BenWa sliding rear window kit, sweet. I love it.

Just some more details and the parts I used. I was flying by the seat of my pants and wasn't really documenting everything. I can help with any questions when you are ready for your install.

 

How'd the sliding window install go?
Did you do a write up?

 

Gave it a nice wash/detail...







Goodness, I cannot wait for new wheels/tires...

 

Added some new much needed new speakers; Kenwood Excelon XR1800P's and XR1800's. Looked at some Hertz and Morel speakers but liked the detail in these ones better. If I had a bigger budget I would have gone with a set of Hertz that sounded incredible. Still very satisfied with these. They sound great with my JL sub.

 

What product do you use to wash and wax looks good

 

I feel you man. It felt like forever until I got my new tires. I Plastidipped my wheels for now. Doing that seems to have helped satiate my wheel hunger.

 

My detailing cabinet is untidy for my liking but it shows a bit...



I use a lot of Adams products, 1Z Einszett bug/tar remover/interior products and Nero rubber/detail/tire shine.

EDIT: Almost forgot... Sonax Full Effect wheel cleaner is by far THE BEST wheel cleaner on the market (that I have found). Also, 1Z Einszett makes an awesome spray wax for use between actual wax/polish sessions.

Check out detailersdomain. That's where I get all of my detailing products. I used to be really into detailing work when I had my Audi...

 

Ok thanks

 

I thought about doing that but I'm a few seconds away (figuratively) from pulling the trigger on some KMC XD Enduro's. I have been shopping around and getting quotes from local shops; just waiting on a few more then I'm getting 'em!

 

My 2014 Tacoma was in a hit and run. They hit my back bumper. The Damage was only a small crease like hit and the plastic on the top got nicked. I was looking at aftermarket bumpers but most where unrated towing capacity. I needed a rated receiver so I went with a stock bumper. I never liked the Chrome stock bumper on my off road. But I disliked color matched bumpers more. So it was an easy call, install the SR5 black (otherwise known as a Sport bumper that hasn't been painted yet).

So yesterday I picked up the bumper from Camelback Toyota in Phoenix. I got the old bumper off yesterday. This morning I finished the task.

So here's an Offroad TRD 4X4 with a Factory black bumper.

 

first drive from its slumber i took it to the highest trailhead in mt hood. spent the morning hiking up the crest oh hood along the glaciers.

it feels good to be back in the tacoma after a long transition.

 

Picked up a spare set of headlights and TL projectors for a retrofit project

 

Drove it out to LBL to ride both bikes.

 

Re installed my fender flares after spraying them with bedliner... Went down a gravel road the other day and heard way too many rocks hitting the truck and saw a lot of little dings... So I decided to put them back on. Still need to do the front... But here's the back. Instead of reattaching them with the snaps, I drilled holes where the snaps go and then just reused the carriage bolts I had used to fill the holes after I'd taken the fenders off... Follow all that? Haha
Here's before

Here's after

Just used spray can bedliner, nothing fancy. Gonna see how it holds up.

 

Installed aux fuse panel mounting plate



Cleaned engine bay
