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

That is also a reason I haven't done it.

 

I like it too.

However I went with something a little more extreme.

 

You should add some amber lights to the front of your truck, might look pretty cool!

 

Hey, that sounds like a great idea. I think I'll do that.

 

I've heard the hood scoop catches glare pretty bad.

I didn't! I meant I could smell the faintest hint of it any time my hands passed by my face. Could be in my head though.

Thanks, I found that today in the manual. I know it's a fail, but trust me, doing it now couldn't have stopped this water, this diff hasn't been serviced in 106,000 miles.

Nice! How much??

OEM?

So yet again, most of my day went to the truck today. Installed my new interior and license plate LEDs from MedlinAround, man are they bright!! So much better than OEM lights and install took all of 5 minutes. My only complaint is that they're so bright it hurts my eyes to turn them on in the dark. Just after I installed them I took some friends out to eat and said, "How bright do you think interior lights are? ...BAM!"

So my headlight went out last night, went today and replaced both OEM halogens with Sylvania Silverstar Ultras. They're a higher output halogen and their light is white. Not much difference just looking at them, but I bet once I restore the lenses they will definitely look different than OEM. Output is not HID quality of course but is much better than OEM!

Finally, onto the issue of the rear diff. Spotted it leaking today but opened up to see that the fluid was full, which is strange because when I filled it yesterday, it did not go all the way to the fill plug.

 

Nice comparison shot with the Ultras.

 

Thanks! I don't think it's very great and wish I could show you guys more. But if it works for you it works for me.

 

Now if he would just learn how to upload photos

 

I'll PM ya about an essentially new skid (less than 500 miles)

 

These photos are from my phone which I plug into my pc via usb. Uploading them for me means saving them to the computer then waiting for them to upload to wherever I choose and then linking it here. If I use tapatalk, they are huge and makes it a pain to read through. So for your sake I attach them

 

The Forums will auto resize them on the pages. I do it all the time. Mine are HUGE, but thanks to the coding of the bbs, it is easily readable when it scales them down. Try it

Come on Devin, your from TEXAS. We are all about BIG!

 

I really need to get a bed mat. Anyone have any recommendations for one on a budget?

 

I went to tractor supply and cut a ~6 foot piece of 1/4" or 3/8" sheet rubber for my long bed. The sheet was just the right width. I then trimmed it so it went around the wheel wells. Cost me $33.00 and about 20 minutes.

I have a Dee Zee mat with no problems over 5 years.

 

I did the same with a rubberized mat from lowes, works great.

 

Trimmed down a $50 horse mat from Tractor Supply for my DCSB.
Only downside is the weight. I'm carrying around 80 pounds and reducing my MPGs even more. But it's solid, doesn't move around and no one can steal it.

 

What if i told you.......












attachments are harder to see?

 

I ordered a second relay set an used it to convert the negative switched to a positive switched and it didn't work. So I pulled out my voltage meter and found out that it's not negatively switched, it's a positive switched system. So I'm just gng to wire it the way I planned on using a tap into the high beam wire to power the switch
