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

Let us know how those turn out! Post pics! I've had those same lights sitting in my Amazon cart for a couple months now.

 

STILL!! geez it was that way years ago when went in my 20's, you would think they would clean it up by now

 

nice, I need to build one, guessing you have a break and all the goodies to make one. Nice job!

 

How are you going to wire this? It's on my list too. I was thinking about running lights to a 6 position fuse block and then running the fuse block to a switch. Is this even a good idea....?

 

You can daisy chain all of those lights together and run them off of one relay/switch combo.

 

Yes it was accurate.

 

I mocked it up how I wanted it with a piece of cardboard and a level and protractor, then the local shop where I bought the steel bent it to my specs... $70 all said and done and they left the steel uncut so I have an extra piece that's about 3 feet long that I'm sure I'll find a use for (maybe a diff skid)

 

Grill arrived a day early, but it seems in their haste to get it to me a day early, managed to dislodge the TOYOTA emblem.



-- suspect the fact I went with the small hex mesh which has very little horizontal surface area may have had something to do with it too. Will have to make a run to wally-world this evening for some 2-part epoxy unless I can locate the tube I had around here.

... and now back good as new



- ran a thick bead of Goop (shoe goo actually) along the back, should provide a bunch more surface area for keeping the emblem in place.

 

Black depo tails.

SWEEEEET!

 

Heres old with factory.

Yeah its bad. Literally a wall of seaweed along the entire beach last time I went. Smelled way worse than a beach should. Port A and South Padre blow it out of the water. The extra 3 hours to Port A is definitely worth the drive from Houston

 

This is exactly what I was going to do but I also have some quick connect wire connectors that I plan on using on each one in case one shorts out, doesn't work or gets bashed on a rock. I don't care to spend too much on lighting but I always like to have a quick connect in the event that the cheap product goes bad; its easy/cheap to replace.

I ordered these a while back specifically for this project but like all of you, it just sat in my cart for a while.

I also ordered a set of 6 of these (2 on each side of my basket and 2 in the back).

Damn man, we just seem to have bad luck lately

 

If it saved the dog. Well worth it.

I love dogs. Even though mine nearly bit the tip of my finger off this evening.

 

Today I...

Finally drilled out the broken skid plate mounting bolt -

Before -



After -



Hopefully this fixes the rattle.

I blocked my Satoshi grille, shot another coat of primer on it, and test fit it again -



And I relocated the horns, the temp sensor, and the AC line -



And whammy -



Tomorrow, I should be able to block the grille for the last time. My Silver Streak Mica paint should be here. And if its nice out, I should be able to get it painted.

 

Got some double standards today.

 

Replaced radio because aux in was broken. Dealer quoted $200 to fix or $120 for just the part. I spent $100 and upgraded the basic radio to a Bluetooth one with hands-free calling and what not (pioneer mvh370bt). Couldn't be happier! Better sound and better features!
