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

The blue paint is a pain to keep in okish shape....i have one and have gone back and forth between plasti dipping the whole truck

 

OK, I have some beat up interior pieces - how'd you do that? Nice!

 

I'm considering doing a full wrap. I'm back and forth between doing it, due to it will probably only last a few years here. I like the blue and would keep it if I repaint.

 

I just put in the auxito 921 leds from Amazon and they blow away the stock incandescent bulbs. My reverse camera was almost useless at night before and now it's all I could want. The leds and heat sinks push into the bulb socket location in the reflectors but have a short wire connector that plugs into the actual bulb socket. The stock bulbs are rated ~200 lumens and the leds just over 2000 and it's believable.

 

Just picked this baby up.

Now time to look for a bed rack. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks @jpereira2. The custom add a leafs were actually new Toyota TSB springs I got from another member and took apart to make the extra leafs. Worked out nice

 

Tore my rear end apart, Took the bed off, and finally got down to the real work on this truck. Gotta get this thing done before thanksgiving and so far so good. Only doing mid travel in the rear with a SUA but +2 TC long travel in the front.

First snowfall of the year, let the fun begin! I will say, the DURATRAC’s are hands down amazing in the snow over the KO2’s.

 

I knew you would be sleeping since you'd probably be up early for some trucking so I was like I'll reply lol

 

when I bought them I thought they were a darker black too.... but they are like a bronze finish in the middle. I went solid black like that look better personally

 

wtf I need to review my settings, I don't get messages when I'm tagged

 

OME Heavies, adding extra leaf for now. Might end up with two extra leafs. I wanted Deaver Expeditions, but it is way easier logistically to get a 2-day drop shipment from ARB.

Metal Tech 4x4 does a 20% off Cyber Monday sale, and they honor prices for 30 days. So you could order now and mail in a refund request for the difference then.

 

How the fuck did you just find this tag like 4 months later?

 

Looking for something else lol

 

It's not AWD, don't do this on pavement because there's no center differential

 

Got the patch bug. Ordered some today. Was gonna keep it to just ones from the military but that was a lie...

 

My wrap is on year 3, still in perfect shape. Only a few scars around the rear bumper where I have dragged it in some sand.

*edit*
I should add that I got the wrap specifically for protections from pin stripping. It works perfect. I run my truck in the bush all the time, and can be confident I have not fucked up the stock paint job yet.

 

Picked up the truck from the shop yesterday, had a few more things done.

• CBI Moab 2.0 front bumper in aluminum with full hoops. Honestly, I didn't like this bumper in pictures. But now that it's on, it looks fantastic and has amazing clearance.
• Warn Zeon 10S winch with Factor 55 link
• Baja Designs amber "fog" lights
• CBI aluminum full skids
• ARB Intensity 40 LED light bar
• Baja Designs work/scene lights added to the roof rack. These are mostly just for camping and shine off to the sides.
• Bushwhacker Fender Flares and some trimming on the front flares to fit the tires
• Got my Cobra WX CB radio installed, Firestick on the front bumper. Still need to get it tuned, hopefully I can find someone local to help with that.

 

Quite the setup. Also, thats a huge firestick haha
