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

Great improvement! How'd you do that? Beats skid plates all day long. The hitch reciever will take hits and not budge, but the electrical outlet suffers, made of plastic and low in harm's way.

 

Not Today but last week... put on my BAMF no hoop bumper and some LED fogs with amber covers. Need to get a 31” bar and winch but first need to swap out the springs on my coil overs for it to sit properly again. Bumper dropped the coils about an inch.

 

Do you have the older version?

 

Adams polishes tire and rubber cleaner is amazing. I definitely recommend trying it out.

 

I treat my lights the same way I treat my paint. Buff, polish, wax, ceramic coat, ect. They have 140k miles on them and they still look new.

 

Replaced my 27F OEM battery tonight with a Super Start Extreme Group Size 24F Top Post Battery Part #24REXT from O'rielly's, I paid $153.03. The new battery has more CCA and the same RC as the OEM (so I was told).

Truck had been struggling to start since last Thursday, coincidentally that was the day the wife used the truck to go to school.

 

I followed this video...

 

They say that because some "cleaner" type waxes contain distillates that can remove the UV protection on the lense which can hasten hazing and yellowing.

Since you've already waxed them....just keep doing so on a regular basis. This will compensate for the lack of UV protection and keep your lenses clear.

But rather than use wax...try Mequires Plast-x. It's designed for plastic.

 

No the new ones with the xaxis joint.

 

Never heard of that problem before

 

What are you running for springs?

 

I like those head lights that was a great idea . I am not a big fan of the rack on the roof. My opinion doesn't matter as long as you like the end result. How long did it take to retrofit those headlights ?

 

Took a 2hr break from work yesterday to install my new set of 2.5 Ext Travel King Coil-overs.

Then got an alignment for good measure.

Rears should be delivered today

 

Good news! Youre allowed to have an opinion, I appreciate the feedback anyway lol The headlights took me a like 3-4 days working on them after work. Little bit of cutting, welding painting, and wiring and anything is possible. Check my Build thread for more info on them.

 

SPC themselves told me they had a bad batch.

 

Woke up to a low tire and upon inspection I found a Nail. I used a tire plug to fix it and managed to only be 30 minutes late for work. (Yea yea wife, they are under warenty. LoL I could have went to the tire shop)

5,000 mile review on 265/65/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers

-Still love them

-A smidgen louder than new

-Drives like a road tire, that's actually an AT, that actually looks like a MT.

-Handle especially well on dry pavement

-They slip a little under fresh rain, but settle in nice after all the road oil and greese is washed off. Zero hydroplane issues.

-Great in dry dirt, rocks, ruts, tree roots and grass.

-I am not out looking for a mud hole, those days are behind me, but if I have to cross one, Ill let you know.

 

another option to mount ur plate,,mag lite wall mounts

 

I need to do this BAD. Mine has been bent 20 times and ripped half my wires right tight to the plug...
Did you follow thread or anything when doing it?

 

I put a hinge on my plate and mounted it behind the plate

 

Slowly getting closer to the big 100k...
