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

From the duel battery thread.

 

Thanks.

Wow.. such up travel.

 

They look much brighter. I need brighter as well.

 

I ordered the $6 centre console organizer, the VIAIR 88P air compressor (works for up to 33's)

... and a full set of MAXFLOORMAT floor liners. I would prefer WeatherTech but they would have cost me almost another hundred bucks with shipping to Canada. Hard to justify that.

I was gawking at the rear bumper and got to thinking. I love high clearance bumpers but don't really like swing aways since you cant keep the tailgate down when you need to (unless you remove it)... Has anyone tried a swing down (like a tailgate)?

 

Swing down? Might be pretty heavy depending on the wheel and tire setup and the frame. Could slam down and brake the mounting points or someone not strong enough to lift it back up. Would be a cool concept though and would like to see it.

 

Ya, that's understandable. I use my truck on a daily basis so I would like to be able to use all its features (including a tailgate). Especially with a short bed I have my tailgate down a lot for over sized cargo.

I play on getting a HC rear bumper but not sure what I could do for a spare tire carrier. right now I am just holding it on a basket above the cab. It's fine but there is obviously drag and heavy getting it down. The canopy door also causes issues with it being mounted on a swing out (or down for that matter). Every time I would want to get into it, I would have to swing.

It's a conundrum...

 

My front end went from this:



To this:

 

Looks backwards.

 

I thought the same thing

 

Bahaha! Getting it painted next week went to a 12-14 conversion.

 

Nice, how much did it cost you? should have done BHLM while they were out.

 

Unfortunately traded it in.

 

Sweet! Yours is the first I've seen converted. Looks great!

 

So far I'm about $600 without bumper and paint. After all it'll prob come blouse to $1500.

 

Finally installed this.



Just in case you were wondering what this stuff was...



And just because.




And this finally happened today.

 

Thanks! Wasn't sure at first since I had so much invested into the grill and lights but now I'm glad I did.

 

So you need bumpers and a hood yea? Well getting there . Waiting for all my parts.Hope by end of year mine will be converted.

 

Is that a light bat? Holy crap dude... That things crazy

And nightstr where did you get the brackets for your hood lights?

 

Close....maglight with bat handle end piece.
