Finally some upgrades!

Finally got new wheels, tires and front shocks installed on the Taco.
Also changed out my cloudy, oxidized headlamps with some used but great condition OEMs I found on FB Marketplace. The seller also threw in some Morimoto 2 Stroke 2.0 LEDs.






Fuel Shox 17x9 wheels
Falken Wildpeaks AT3W 265/70R17
Bilstein #5100 front shocks

 

Truck looks great, reminds me of mine when I first got it and it was so clean looking.

 

Nice shoes!

 

So I just claybard and compound polished it last week. Paint was badly oxidized. I had neglected it for years. I’m glad it’s all shiny again.

 

I’d love to do this but the one time I hand washed it I had an accident THAT AFTERNOON.

 

Really looks great - nice job !

 

Sick. How was the headlight install? I'm waiting for my TRD Pro set to come in. Heard it can be quite challenging.

 

Hi, it was challenging, even after watching several YouTube videos on how to. What was difficult was removing the 3rd 10mm bolt from underneath the wheel well. It’s a tight fit to even ratchet that thing off. Also difficult was pulling the headlamps out. You have to pull up and out then turn it 90 degrees then straight up. I used plenty of blue tape to protect both the bumper and the headlamps from possible scratches. You will get some inadvertent scraping. Of course putting everything back in place was much easier. Good luck!

 

Thanks! I appreciate the tips!
