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

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it..

 

It would be better if it lit up at night.

 

Sliders intalled. I'll take better pictures in daylight.

 

No worries. Let me know how you like 'em!

Will say that coming from stock leafs, it makes a huge difference. Decided to go with Option #2 since I am caring some extra weight on a regular basis.

 

I'm going with the same option.... How much weight do you carry?

 

Right now, I think I am about 350 lbs over stock.
Steel bumper with tiregate, full-sized spare, spare on the underside, rack, and rtt. Going to be dropping the 2nd spare since it is super unnecessary right now.

 

That makes me feel better. I only have a shell on the back but I tow a trailer mostly during summer. I was worried the second option wouldn't hold up.. I should be good.

How much lift did you get? Did you have to add an carrier bearing drop shim or axle shim?

 

Headlight restoration kit will make those things look good as new

 

They're way worse than they look in that pic. Lens is cracked all the through and they'e filled with moisture. They'll be the next thing to go!

 

That’s because majority of other wheels are hideous. These are nice, though.

 

Plugs. Even though I didn’t feel and issue and they look fine I was approaching 30k interval and it was time. And damn the engine smoothed out a ton.

 

I put these projector headlights on. There’s a long thread about them if anyone wants a lot more info. They are not too expensive and the light output is a lot better than stock. Time will tell if they last.

 

What brand are they?

 

Put these in the Taco today. Money well spent! What can I say...I like organization!!

There are a bunch of brands tied to these exact same lights. They’re all from China and identical, probably coming from the same factory. I got them from OEMassive on eBay, I think Tacomabeast has them, Spyder also, a few other places too.

 

I just got new plugs the other day. It’ll be interesting to see if they are originals since I’m at 60K and I bought the truck at 30K.

 

This is my second go around with the plugs. First time I didn't notice much of a difference. This time was really smooth. Interesting because I was 6,000 miles late on the first one and this time I did it 1500 miles early.

 

The truck gets great gas mileage about 21 mpg. Stock suspension 265/70R16 tires.

 

Installed '12 lower console. Functional aux port to the Pioneer headunit. The usb is for charging. Installed two 12v ports, one lighted, the other dual usb chargers with a volt meter read. And most importantly, 3 more blank spots for future switches.
