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

Hopefully your first one comes with the rope. Mine did not but Amazon is pretty easy with returns. Second one had the rope.

 

Hey what cap ya got there?

 

Just remember, it can always be worse. I put the first dent in my own truck last summer. I launched a rock from underneeth the lawn mower. It hit a couple inches south of the passenger side mirror. Left a dent and a paint chip on an otherwise PERFECT body.

I would have actually preferred someone else did it. At least then I could have blamed someone else when I threw my tantrum.

 

Yes. They have just a few on Amazon. But they do not carry them on their website.

What about this membership..... @Acerwin

It's a 6 month membership. You get a badge that has a number to your name (no one else will have it) it's pretty cool

 

That's a good question. It's a LEER that I got used. I never bothered to look up the model, but it's a great topper.

 

So after searching and searching on adding LED turn signals front and rear (with my '15 being equipped with the option to run DTRL but is turned on/off on the stalk) I found a few threads about modifying the flasher rather than adding a bunch of resistors. So, I dug into the dash and pulled out the flasher module. But, here's where it takes a deviation from anything I saw on here: I have two of the little metal loops that you're supposed to sand down slightly. Anyone know about this? I'd like to tinker with this today but really don't want to jump into it because this thing looks expensive lol. I'll attached a picture in a few minutes once I get inside. Thanks for the help

 

Here ya go, maybe will need to post this independently in the lighting forum?

 

Ok posted too soon, used the powers of google rather than tacomaworld's search function and found that one is the right and the other the left circuit. But still any input would be appreciated

Thank you sir, I am doing exactly what the Tundra guy is doing but haven't got enough material off yet. I do plan on doing led front & rear so I have to take ALOT off apparently and I'm definitely a little nervous with the dremel

EDIT: just googled the part number and it's only like $40, much cheaper than I thought, I shall proceed...

 

Dipped my TRD exhaust tip today! It is mid twenties here today so I had to take it inside and dip it in my basement.

In progress...



Back on the truck!





Turned out pretty sweet I think!

 

looks pretty good

 

Here are some pictures of my truck with the led hood scoop lights that I installed

 

Decided to do a DIY bed cover over the Thanksgiving break so I could transport my dogs around without having them slipping and sliding around in the bed. I opted for a two piece layout so I could easily remove it when I needed to transport something dirty or messy and so that it wasn't too heavy to take in and out.

I used a piece of 1/4" plywood and covered it with an outdoor rug that I adhered to the wood with floor adhesive. It took a little longer than I expected but that was mainly due to the trial and error of trying to find the right cuts to make around the wheel housing.

 

Thanks!

 

Fresh Mobil 1 oil change

 

Bedrack mod: installed



...now it's time to clean up.

 

Won't the dip melt off when it gets hot? I have no experience with the derp.

 

This happened last night. Wet Okoles from the recent GB. No need to take the seats off, just took my time in fishing all the straps under seat. Total install took about hour and a half with mandated beer breaks. It got dark on me so pics may not do them justice.
