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

Got a link to what you used? I tried to tape my off one day an got frustrated an stoped.

 

Installed a 50" OSRAM 4D 480 watt radius light bar on Relentless fab roof mounts. Because... unicorns on the road at night everywhere! I'm such a lousy shot that all the deer around here are unicorns.





I ran the harness down the driver's side gutter of the windshield and glued it in with a bead of Permatex RTV adhesive silicone. No need to drill!

Now to move on to the rest of the pile of lighting and electrical. My battery cage is on its way from MA this weekend. A Northstar battery will be ordered on Monday and I'll take it from there.

 

Where did you get the voltmeter and harness for your RTMR? ... or was your stock wiring long enough?

I'm going the same route, but with a Pelfreybilt battery cage and Northstar 31M battery.

 

It looks like the grill and the letters are all one solid piece. I was also thinking of painting the letters later on and I think I will cover the entire grill first

I tried this out from eBay. I wanted something less permanent just so that I could see if I liked it first. The decal has been holding up and I have gone through two car washes without any signs of peeling.

 

I know there a little pricey but do you think there worth it?, now that you have them on....curious, thinking of getting them myself..

Are you close by?

 

about 5 hours away, so wouldn't say "close". haha.

 

Hmmm, honest assessment? Well, I'm a big fan of subtle mods that usually take an enthusiasts trained eye to notice. That being said, when I first pulled the HLs outta the box, first thought was 'waste of money'. After the install and I got a really good look, the stealth-chrome color compliments the somewhat color-shifting spruce mica of the truck very well. I'm happy with the purchase, took advantage of the deal posted by @Unchained 5150 and paid with the change/coins I've been squirreling away for the last couple years. If I had to spend it again, I'd go with a fridge for the bed instead. If yer on the fence, wait until you break one and have to spend the $ anyway. In the meantime, if you just HAVE to spend some $, get something you don't already have.

 

They are a little pricey (same price as non Pro lights, actually), but you can sell your stock lights to offset the cost. My stock lights sold while I was making the ad for them. Keep in mind that The packaging is bulky and they cost a chunk of $ to ship. I didn't shop around, but it cost me $80 to ship mine out - double what I expected when I listed my price as shipping included.

I couldn't be happier with my Pro lights though.

 

So last night I was taking my wife and I to a minor league baseball game. While we were creeping through traffic trying to park, we saw a father and his three year old son walking into the game. When they were walking past my truck, the little boys eyes got all wide and he repeatedly tapped his fathers leg and said "Look Dad!! A monster truck! Look!!!!"

Made me extremely happy and I thought I'd share that with you guys.

 

Put some on mine a few weeks ago (265/70/R17). Stock suspension. Great tire, only circumstance for rubbing...once, on a really hard turn backing into my garage. That's it...keeping front flaps on unless I run into some more instances.

 

You missed the monster truck directly behind yours?

 

Finally got around to darkening the interior. Black Clazzio seat covers, radio surround, shifter console, steering wheel, 4wd selector, gauge rings and shift knob.

 

Vinyl?

 

rattle?

 

Man, tough crowd in here!!

 

Paint? Or did you buy the black parts.
