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

Installed my FX-R 3" with an orange passive demon eye. I can post better daylight pics of the demon eye later if i get some. This time around still has some imperfections but is better than the last

 

I de-flapped the truck today and installed an EZ Down tailgate thingy. And of course, the one torx head bolt that I had to remove from the tailgate hinge was tighter than tight and it stripped. An hour and a half later it was drilled and tapped and good to go.

Still waiting on a shift knob, N-Fabs and my compass/thermometer to come back from being repaired.

 

EZ down tailgate thingy?

 

What have I done to my tacoma in a week:

Heated seats


New blue sea fuse box


LED lightbar


Arm rest vinyl mod


And halfway done with LED bed lights

 

Very cool! Where'd you pick those up at?

 

Replaced an idler pulley. Bought a serpentine belt. Wired up 2500 lumens of led's

Favorite mod to date.Swapped bench for buckets,now I know what you double cab guys have been sitting on.Big difference.Seats came out of a 2010 double cab with airbags.

 

Took about 3hrs total.Still waiting on dummy buckels to cancel out passenger seat belt light.

 

Cleaned more snow off of it

 

Installed Alpine stereo with Blue Tooth.

 

Theretrofitsource.com. They have a 25% off group but code on here if you search for it. I'd recommend the mini h1 if it is your first time. I'd like another shot at the fx-r. I havent been able to see the light output at night compared to the h1 but as far as ease of install the mini h1 is WAY easier

 

Right on thanks buddy

 

I did the 886 backup light mod tonight. It was a perfect night for it. Wet and dark. The exact kind of night this mod is required for. For those unfamiliar, you modify a 886 foglight bulb by cutting the bulb from the plastic housing. I used a hacksaw and had no problem. Some use a Dremel.

Both pics show the drivers side light swapped out for an 886 foglight bulb. I did both but wanted to show the difference.

In the third pic you see the pic I took from the back of my truck looking down over the tailgate. One light has been changed at that point. The stock light shows no sign of even being on. Huge difference. Great 5 minute, 14 dollar mod.

I often have a slide-in camper on my truck which make visibility even worse when backing up. It's nice to be able to see branches and stuff that are higher off the ground but still in the way.

 

It was such a nice winter day in California also enjoyed a mountain bike ride and a beer with my Tacoma!


Thank you brother. The beer holder keeps the hands free to comb the beard!

 

Started the vinyl wrap on the front end, finished up TRS Morimoto retro, and slapped them in.

 

Finally got the time to install the LED Bed Lights in the new shell. Way bright lighting, great addition. Crappy phone pic, but it was late.....

 

where did you get that grill or how did you make it thats awesome

 

X2! Tell us more!

 

Yeah , just wanted to know if the fog switch was lit along with the other backlit switches on the dash when parking lamps/headlights are on . Mine evidently has the anytime mod of some version from the PO, and they can be lit anytime the engine is running for that matter . It's just irritating there is no pilot lamp for when the fogs are on - that switch you're using will fix that , and thanks for doing the leg work .
