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

Awaiting finished product

 

Im pretty excited to get it done, just waiting on my dremel blades that i ordered and going to knock out painting it t the same time as putting this in!

 

Is this a good enough adhesive for the 3 inch metal letters being adhered on to my mesh or should I get different adhesive for that?

 

I used

$8 3M VHB 100x200mm~ (4" X8") Double Sided Foam Adhesive Sheet Tape 5952 Automotive Mounting Industrial Grade Very High Bond 5952 (1 Sheets 100x200mm)

3M VHB double stick take (like, serious OEM automotive grade shit) and then added some 2-part Loctite as well.

I mean, that may be good but I've never seen it before.

 

Cant wait to see them on the truck. They look so sweet!

 

Yeah, just use some

$8 3M VHB 100x200mm~ (4" X8") Double Sided Foam Adhesive Sheet Tape 5952 Automotive Mounting Industrial Grade Very High Bond 5952 (1 Sheets 100x200mm)

3M VHB tape. The automotive kind has this cool little rip away feature so you don't have to trim by hand.

but uh locktite?

 

Usually they are at the bottom of the page in the products section from Amazon.

Those wheels and tires look great on your truck! Do you have a lift and what size tires are those?

 

Managed not to get hit on the way home from work.

Decided I'm likely going to buy a set of Dakar rear springs as part of my lift setup.

 

BHLM With stock headlights. My old aftermarket lights weren't good.

 

I decided to roll with this stuff, probably not the ideal but worst comes to worst i redo the letters with the tape or better adhesive, looking good so far tho!

 

@ChadsPride what tires are you going to run? 9" right?

 

That thing looks clean!

 

Received my tracking number...

 

I used 2 part epoxy

 

Is there a good place to run the CB antenna cable through the firewall or do I just have to drill a hole.

 

This should be on a poster for Cooper! My Gawd that looks amazing!

 

Like someone else said just use

$8 3m VHB 100x200mm~ (4" X8") Double Sided Foam Adhesive Sheet Tape 5952 Automotive Mounting Industrial Grade Very High Bond 5952 (1 Sheets 100x200mm)

3m VHB tape. I actually used the 3m stuff like sold at lowes/HD/hardware store which is called "Extreme Mounting tape" which I think is either VHB or very very similar. RTV ain't gonna cut it, that's more of a sealant adhesive than a sealant/adhesive. Plus with the tape it makes it relatively easier to remove down the line if desired. My large aluminum letters have been stuck to my grille for about a year now and still holding like cement.

 

Which side? Driver or passenger? Either way both have a 3/4 maybe 1inch grommet towards the upper third if the firewall. On passenger side it's super easy to identify, on driver side if you have the vacuum booster it's sort of hidden slightly behind it, otherwise if you have electronic booster it's sort of rearward of the brake fluid reservoir.

You'll have to snake it down the dash on either side. And once you pull the grommet you need to punch a hole in the carpet layer directly behind it.

Way easier imo than the large main harness boot.

EDIT:
Someone else's pic of pass side. Driver side has an identical firewall plug.
