TacomaMike25 Tacoma Build!

Installed a Pop Lock and Husky Liners.


Impressed with the simple install of the pop lock and some added security.





Husky Liners installed front and rear. They fit every curve perfect and seem to be durable unlike the factory rubber mats.

 

*Update*

I have had my @CaliRaisedLed ditch lights on my truck for a year and wanted to do a review.

I installed them which was a breeze most difficult part was mounting the ligh to the U shaped frame that bolts to the hood brackets. After a year I noticed the housing of the ditch lights started to fade. I ordered the ditch light covers caliraised made...

I installed the covers per the instructions only to have them fall off while I was on a trip to the poconos. I waited nearly a month for a thin 2 thin peices of plastic to arrive. I attempted to remove the magnets from the light. This left over adhesive on the lense of the lights. I attempted to remove the adhesive today using goo gone and some other products neither worked. I did get most of it off only to see my lenses are scratched/cloudy.

I installed Lamin-X 2x2 squares on the lense as a temporary fix until I decide how I am going to move forward in the spring. I loke the caliraised ditch lights but may switch to rigid because they allow for removeable covers for inspections/different driving conditions.

One thing I would recommend for caliraised is to develop covers for their ditch lights and spray them with a more durable finish.

 

Picked a pair of X-Bull recovery tracks. Just bugied them to the bed cleats for now until I find a mounting option that will allow me to close my tonneau cover.

 

Cargo net for groceries installed

 

Picked up an organizer for the glove box also from Amazon $18 shipped. It comes with velcro to hold it in place.

 

Late night install if the OEM skid plate. Picked it up off Amazon $202 free two day shipping.

 

Installed the Soft Topper last night.

I went with the grey canvas, installed in about 2 hours. The hardest part waa getting the snaps started due to how tight the canvas was. Overall impressed with the topper, it isna good budget option vs a $1700 plus fiber glass topper and adds more modularity to the bed.

Enjoy!

 

I like it. Question will the front of the cover have an opening for the rear opening window?

 

Negative one thing I wish it had

 

That is a deal breaker for me...living in South Texas , sending cool A/C air to the rear would be essential.
looks good though.

 

Mothing really new purchased recently. I did fix the wiring harness/connector/replaced a fuse for my foglights and got them up and running. Some condensation in the passanger fog housing that comes and goes.

My dad, brother and I made it to the beach today. My dads 4runner just got a Dobinson lift, wheels, tires and a RCI skid plate two weeks ago.

 

your trucks look cool, I still like your canvas top. What was the temperature there at the beach? Nice!

 

It has been a while since I updated my build thread...

i recently installed a spring booster v3 in my trucks. It is a 4cyl 5spd. It made a huge difference with getting around town and also high way driving. It does work with the twist and turn ebreak.


I also updated the climate knobs on my truck and installed Bilstien 5100 rear shocks over the weekend as well.
