GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

I think @Stig was the chef of that bbq

 

That one was mine...

Only good news was of all the sketchy spots I put myself in over the years, the simplest one was what did me in... Complacency plus shit going bad at the wrong time.

But I figured I wasn't in too bad of a situation or too far from home and took my time and boom. Should've just hiked back instead of trying to get it out myself, but Monday morning quarter backing always has the right answers.

 

Here’s some pics buddy the king I’m selling it for 300 (pillow top with box spring) and the chairs 100 for both

 

So I’m torn between a set of Diode Dynamics SL1 bulbs or the Morimoto 2Stroke 2.0 bulbs for my F150 low beams. I feel reasonably confident these are the only two bulbs that won’t have a ton of glare. I have the morimotos in the Taco, but not 100% sure how they’ll act in the Ford’s lights. The Diode Dynamic ones claim to have been made using the F150 as the design benchmark though.

Morimotos in my Tacoma, does this cutoff look like shit or does it look passable?

 

DD for sure. Their stuff is dialed.

 

If the two choices are either looking like shit or ok, I'd go with looks like shit for something that likely was not cheap. And I base that on the fact that just a little bit of a grey area means driving around with headlights that blind other drivers more than they should.

If the pic was lights that were for off-road use only and eBay price vs rigid prices, they'd be fine as far as cutoff.

 

Anyone own one of these? I have a HD gift card and was thinking about using it on this. I had an ARB single on the 4R, but HD doesnt have those lol

Looks solid to me. I have this one

$77 VIAIR 88P - 00088 Tire Inflator Portable Onroad/Offroad Air Compressor for Car, Truck, SUV & RV | 12V On/Off Road Tire Pump Air Compressor Portable Heavy Duty 120 PSI, Alligator Clips, Twist Chuck

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ASY23I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it is a damn champ. I've used it countless numbers of times with 0 issues. The one you linked would only be better.

 

No first-hand experience, but I’ve done a LOT of TW reading on these and other comparable compressors and this appears to be THE favorite when balancing functionality, reliability, and affordability. I am likely going with this one too, or my cheap ass will settle on the 88P for $66 and the couple extra minutes it’ll take to inflate all 4 tires. My 2¢

 

I haven't owned one personally but have seen them used plenty. Biggest thing you're paying for with ARB is the speed that you'll be able to inflate your tires. If you want to mount that one, you could always install a tank under the truck which will help with capacity.

I mounted a tank behind the drivers side storage box door in the bed, was able to pump up tires in no time with the puma. Usually pumped up mine and continued helping others.

 

@Built2Ride do you have any Baja Designs rock lights laying around youre looking to get rid of? Planning on designing and 3D printing a mount to install them on my OEM roof rack as scene lights and need to get my hands on some. I know you have BD products for days

 

I own the constant duty Viar with tank on the Tundra. Search my post for “Tundra Tank”. Was a pretty truck mod if I do say so myself. Used the spare tire rim to mount the Compressor and Tank to it.
Then I can just drop the whole thing if needed.

 

Sorry homie, if you can believe it I have finally installed them all on 3 trucks. I am about to do a photo shoot with my buddy with all 3 rigs at night!

 

You guys with winches, where are you mounting the solenoid box? Pics would be great if not in the standard place on top of the winch. I'll probably be getting a hybrid bumper soon. There's a company that makes 05-11 and said they would give me a discount if they could use my truck to fit their existing design to my later model 2nd gen. They said the winch only works with non integrated solenoid winches and most their customers mount the solenoid under the hood.

 

I know mine is different but here's how I did mine in my hybrid, it's on the passenger side just shoved between the bumper and winch. Hasn't moved, probably should make sure my winch still works after dumping it

 

Thanks. That does seem like the easiest location. Maybe i'll get lucky and there will be enough room to do that.

 

I have done it two ways on two tacos.
Side and Top

 

From what i've been told by them, there probably won't be any room above the winch for it. Maybe I can do something a little similar to yours and fit it behind the grill in that area.

 

nice kankles

 

That's Bryan haha, I'm taking the pic
