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

It’s made by a company called evil manufacturing and the red led go off when I brake and I have the white led and yellow (Baja design) chase light hooked up to a switch pro so those I can turn on whenever I want to see in truck bed and stuff

 

And a word of advice on this, do it while the engine is cold. I did mine last week at 102,000 miles and it didn't look nearly as bad as I thought it would. My engine was still pretty warm and the damned cleaner was evaporating about as fast as I could wipe it out.
I'll probably hit it again in a few months.....when the engine is cold.

 

Finally got my Baja Rack mounted, not too bad of an install. After getting everything tightened up, seems really sturdy!

 

Mine was not hot but also not cold. Had to run to my house (a mile away from the shop) to get supplies before starting and my cleaner was still evaporating rather fast so I couldn’t imagine it actually being hot! Not to mention the throttle body itself was pretty warm when trying to hold it. I actually started spraying my cloth with the cleaner then wiping for better results. Nice follow up advice!

 

Darrington? Or some hush hush stuff up north?

 

Wired up a third brake light as a precaution with inspection coming up here soon. Actually like how it looks.

 

Looking good. Where in VA?

 

New mod to me but I’m sure this one is old to everyone else. Updated the AC knobs





this one is nothing special but updated interior bulbs. Almost a must these days

 

new UCAs goin on today

 

nice! I just added the knobs like 2 weeks ago. Also tossed in the center console and glove compartment organizers. But I have yet to change out the interior lighting. I wish I had the guts to rip off my dashboard and change the orange lighting. Anyway, looks much better!

 

I want to order a knob for the 4wd switch but the seller never replied about adding a single knob. May have to order 3 to get 1 but it would complete the look. Bulbs were 12$ and I’m very pleased with them. I doubt I change all the dash lights or anything but I’m hoping when I change radios that whatever I get come close I’m lighting

 

Appreciate it, I’m in Yorktown VA currently and moving to Williamsburg here soon.

 

What a great idea

 

Going to re-gear this winter

 

So I recleared the hood scoop and this is the end result.

@GRNT4R What knobs? Was there any wiring you had to do to get them illuminated?

 

I swapped out my switch covers this morning. Incredibly easy with the removal tool. The downside is the color is a little different between the compressor and locker switches, so I’m going to order new covers for those. I also didn’t like the two unused switches up top now so I order covers for rock and backup lights, and will get the lights too.

 

I used to have those UCA's. They worked well but only thing I didn't like - there was nowhere to insert a cotterpin for a castle nut. I didnt trust the nylon lock nut that came with the arm.

 

no sir. No wiring to do. They have a clear piece going around them that uses the OEM back light. Not sure if you can see the clear part in the pic and yes they are from China but sold on Amazon. Came in a couple of days
