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

Awesome set up you have there.

 

I took mine for a swim

 

Being an autobody mechanic, I have installed hundreds of aftermarket headlights on the job over the years. These are better quality & fit than any other that I've ever seen. Here's a few daytime pics

 

I went to replace the valve cover gasket and when I removed the air intake resonator thing (2.7 4 cylinder) I saw what what causing my oil leak. There is a small 90* hose that goes from the valve cover to the resonator, it pulled off the valve cover too easy. I ordered a new hose and squeeze clamp (you need two but the hose comes with one). The parts cost $13.

 

Spruce mica DCLB and cap to boot? Don't see that too often, ISA VERR NIICE

 

Installed a very affordable Tonneau cover. 189.99, not bad! Seals up pretty good too.

Ive wanted a roll up one for a while. Def recommend so far.

 

Where did you get it?

they have them for every bed size and also for 3rd Gens

 

Detailed the inside of the truck. Polished the glass and 303 on everything.

 

First detail at the new house! Finally had time to clean her up before the heat wave coming in. Wash, wax, 303, full interior detail, American flag, done...

 

I have the extended one......that thing is awesome!

 

Here goes nothin

 

How's the output on those?

 

I have yet to drive with them at night, but when I was aligning them in the shop they were super bright. I'll let ya know when I find out. I've just been extremely busy since installing them

 

I've tested last 2 fill ups & 1st was 13.1 & 18.3 2nd fill. Now granted I did hual 2 loads of pallets 17 & 14 each load

 

Not very impressed with the CBI brackets. I had a set on my first gen and they were great but not so much this time around. Powder coat wore off after shipping, missing nuts, and I had to bend the brackets to get them to mount plumb. But happy with the end result! Just need to wire the lights up after I get some nice wire loom to make a harness and a switch.

 

I use

$42 LockNLube Grease Gun Coupler XL - Extra reach for recessed grease fittings

this one. Works like a charm every time. I’m able to hit every single one, the furthest front zerk is tight with the heat shield but doable.

 

Do you want this? I had to buy the 3 wire DD harness for my SS2’s and cut it so I could run my positive and negative to my Swich-Pros and the third wire to my running lights. It’s cut a couple inches above the relay it wouldn’t take a lot to splice in your wiring.

 

Gave it a bath and ceramic wax for the first time in many months. I'm not used to seeing it this shiney--kinda weird.

 

I use that one also. Works very well.
