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

How long do you suppose the clay bars last? I've had one for over 10 years and it seems to still work good.

 

i hear you on the "easier to clean" part! this is what i have and they suck to clean

 

Installed some led fog pods and a 20" light bar! Will try and get output shots soon.

 

Yeah i have owned polished aluminum rims in the past and i used to take the wheels off and sit in the garage and clean them. It sucked, took about an hour per rim, and my back hurt when i was done! But they looked great! For about a week or so...

I have been thinking about taking off the ones i have now for a good deep cleaning. I also want to plastidip the lip of my rims white to see what it looks like. Its easy enough to remove if i dont like it.

 

If they stay clean about 10 years or more....hehe

 

Thanks man, it's coming along but like everyone here, I still have more planned.

Marine grade hardware uses quick release pins.

 

mine are chrome and it started pitting before i bought the truck and there is no stopping it now. the chrome is chipping off the center where the tire sits on the hub. shitty rims all around honestly. read many reviews on them with the same problems

 

Please excuse the noob question.. but what are these used for? I'm assuming they have something to do with your flip pac right?

 

They are limb risers. They push limbs up off your truck and windshield.

 

This makes more sense! So these are more for the folks who do serious wheeling on tight trails to try and prevent unnecessary damage?

 

Figured I'd post an alternative to the led bulbs most seem to be running. I've had them for my license plate light for a while (which has a really nice cool white output), and decided to put some in the 3rd brake light as well. Not for brighter output but due to what I've seen halogens due to many housings/pigtails/ and lenses over the years. They are not open leds like almost are, and they work great IMO. O'Reillys sells em and I'm sure you can get em on the internet too.

 

So you don't want to see the 3 corn combines or 10 sugar harvesters?

 

These are good bulbs. I bought a couple of these, but for the rest, I used syvania's ZEVO brand that comes with a full lifetime warranty. I have them in my third brake light(need to take them out since I have a shell), my license plate lights, and I have some amber ones in my parking lights(the lights on the outer edge of your headlights). They've all been great so far, and if anyone is curious, Sylvania will back their warranty on these bulbs no questions asked. I'd highly recommend if looking for something that's going to last.

 

They have amber led ones too?? Will get those next for the front side markers/parking lights

 

What stereo surround is that? I have the Metra and dont really care for it.

 

Yep! heres a quick link to one for an example

I'm planning to replace all my outside lights with these. I went with superbrightleds.com for my corners and I was pretty disappointed.

 

Found these, but obviously not OEM. I think i'll just get them and reseal them.

If you're going to replace your front or rear blinkers or brake lights (if you have the old 05-08 style red tail lights) I would not use the ZEVO brand.. I bought some of these for my brake lights:

$20 SYLVANIA - 3157 ZEVO LED White Bulb - Bright LED Bulb, Ideal for Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and Back-Up/Reverse Lights (Contains 2 Bulbs)

https://www.amazon.com/SYLVANIA-3157-White-Contains-Bulbs/dp/B01A77QW52 and had to take them back because they weren't bright enough (I couldn't see when the tail lights were on during the day, only the brake lights). I ended up getting a pair of these even though they don't have a lifetime warranty, they're much brighter and have served me well the past few months

$15 SYLVANIA - 3157 LED White Mini Bulb - Bright LED Bulb, Ideal for Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and Back-Up/Reverse Lights (Contains 2 Bulbs)

I used these at first but changed to the red because it caused my brake light to look faded...
