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

Yeah it really does make it much easier to utilize the space. There's a lot of dead space behind the plastic. I do notice a slight increase in road noise when the back seats are laid down, but it's very manageable. Probably would be a non-issue if I used some sound deadening material

 

I had my heart set on BAMF

 

"Cant' have your cake and eat it too."

I assumed as much. If you want a HC with all of the bells & whistles you're going to pay for it. Just like anything with this hobby. Or you can look into other options but you're going to loose a few features.

 

I like that a lot. What brand?

 

Trail gear rock defense

 

I was just trying to help out local business. Especially in these times were goin through. I wasnt even lookin for all the bells and whistles, just a single swing out

 

I assumed you were looking "fully loaded." That price seems steep for anything less but I haven't been following that progress for weeks.

 

Jumps from 1,300 all the way to 2,300 for a single swing out

 

Is this what you have?

 

thats the warfab bumper he's got. im waiting on one too, once the small businesses can open back up

 

Check out the At The Helm HC, reasonably priced and looks amazing

 

My headlight build is coming along!

 

Yes it's the one I have. It's a great bumper. It's lighter than plate bumpers and Its sucked up so I rarely hit it. Waiting to get his tube front bumper on shortly.

I like this more than the trailgear. Just looks better imo. Plate bumpers are nice and look cool but this thing is perfect for me.

 

Small business is hurtin bad right now

 

It was a gorgeous day out here in Seattle, so I spent some time under the hood with some rags and simple green.

Whats a good product to wipe the hoses and black plastic to make it shine?

 

303 is great for plastic that sees a lot of UV


But my favorite product for plastic that sees a lot of grit and dust is this Bel Ray product. Makes plastic look shiny and new but doesn't attract (almost repels) dirt, dust and grime. It was made for dirt bike detailing but works perfect under the hood, too.

 

Can't drive Blue because AC Compressor seized up, got the parts that will be taken care of later this week. Mean time I added that elastic organizer to my center console.

 

Since I'm working again, i decided to treat myself to a couple of new upgrades for the truck:

tacoma beast headlights


And an all black climate control. I plan on swapping out the rings and buttons or figuring out a way to get an adapter. The next step towards deleting all of the ugly silver interior.


I'll be posting my previous OPT7 headlights up in the for sale section soon if anyone is interested.


Take care of each other out there

 

Headlights plug and play? My stock ones are very hazy and cracked. They aren’t leaking yet, but I know it’s a matter of time.
