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

Just ordered some Huskyliners......

I just bought my truck not even two weeks ago, and opened a bank account at the bank that's holding my loan so I could pay online. At first my thought was "all the money in this account is for the truck payments." NOW, thanks to TW, my thoughts are, "all the money in this account is for the TRUCK." (including payments of course, but now also mods - haha!)

THANKS TW!!

 

Did its first oil change and tire rotation today.

 

I'll try that next time. Are you from TEXAS?

I'd tell you to click on them and that they weren't.

 

I seafoamed my 20,000 mile truck last night

 

I filled up the gas tank @ $1.99 per gal
can't believe it

 

I was able to fill up for $1.73 a gal

 

I've been considering seafoam. Just can't know for sure if it works.

 

Went out and take apart the front grill. Didnt like chrome and found some time to do it. PLasti dip it for a while then took it off. Plasti dip the middle section with the Toyota emblem for a few months now. Took that off and clean to a shine. Applied MGM color. Look very close to OEM color minus the clear coat. Look much better in person.


Thinking of taking the Plasti Dip off the rear bumper and apply this.

 

Installed a new set of Focal component speakers, and replaced my Polk sub with a JL 10w1v2


And installed some Flyzeye products

 

Over the past couple months I've replaced my driver side tail light, front universal joint bearing and the rear diff fluid. Swapped out the OEM front brake pads and rotors for the

$202 Power Stop K137 Power Stop Brake Kit For 2007-2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser, 2005-2022 Toyota Tacoma 6 Lug, 2003-2009 4Runner 12.56" Rotors - Front Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads & Drilled Slotted Rotors Replacement, K137

Power Stop K137 kit with the help of a friend and cleaned up the headlights a bit. Also plasti dipped the roof, touched up the dip on the side mirrors and changed up my back window stickers a little.

 

Did an oil change with Royal Purple and a Bosch filter. First time using RP so I'm interested to see how it goes

 

Installed a bestop supertop. Got it for $160 shipped off eBay from a place that sells damaged car parts. All that was wrong with it was the metal framing was scratched.

 

Finally mounted my maglite

 

4x4 did you paint your grill with spray can or spray gun ? Nice job

 

Replaced the broken door handle innards on my passenger rear side door. Sanded and buffed my headlights and fog lights so that I can actually see through them. Oh yeah .... swapped out my stocker spare tire wheel for a factory Sport model to match all the others on the truck.

 

Well, I figured I'd finally do the A/C outlet in the cab today. I also did the 400W anytime mod while I was in there. Everything turned out great.

I was going to just put the outlet in the rear of the center console. That wouldn't make sense for me, because my rear seats are almost always folded down for my dogs platform.


I knew if I tried to make the hole perfect, it wouldn't be.... So, I figured I'd just hide it with a switch plate...


I didn't care about being stealthy or trying to make it look factory. I actually really like the way this turned out.


I did have to trim this plastic bracket under the shifter console cover for the outlet to fit. I warmed it up with a heat gun first so it wouldn't break more than I wanted. Then, I just cut it with some shears.

 

I helped a friend install his billies.

Next, AAL for him..

Also I installed my magnetic gun holster under my steering wheel.

 

Thanks man. I use spray can. Just dont spray slow or hold to long. Do multiple pass/layers instead of one dark one.

To cheap to buy a spray gun lol

 

what was your process in doing the headlights?

 

New synthetic fluids in the diffs and t-case. Boring but necessary. PS flush is next.
