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

That I am not sure of, it may be something to PM a Mod on.

For what it’s worth I saw you have 18 posts now, up from 17 earlier. So the site appears to be catching all of your recent activity.

 

Here is a link to the Colorado Trading Post. You may be able to post your item here as well.

Those are sweet looking! Nice choice.

 

I was supposed to be getting the truck ready for a wheeling trip this coming up weekend but I got a little distracted. She did fine towing so I guess she’s all good to go.

 

Thanks for all the info . I will give it a go. Trying to get my posts up and be more active on here.

 

went and tested the new LT suspension. Want to say im super impressed. Night and day difference. Arms took some super hard hits and came away with just missing powder coat. Trails were super sloppy. Of course Vid never shows the reality. Good way to properly break in lol.

And of course some carnage. Somehow managed to lose a bump stop i hit so hard on one section lol.

 

Well, Not today but yesterday, Flushed the rear deferential. I still need to grease the U-Joints on the drive shaft.

 

Damn thats sloppy!

 

Test fitting some things for a pending upgrade.

 

62k. Mobil 1 5W-30 oil change, OEM Toyota filter, grease zerks... no drama.

 

Heck yeah!! I have been happy with how my milestars have performed on wet rock. Bad ass though man.

Looks like you have an RCI skid as well? Poor things aren’t made for this lol

 

Started installing Total Chaos bed stiffeners.

 

lol yea im in the process of building a new front skid just been lazy lol. Im about 60% done with it. I started it like 2 months ago and it got put off lol. Ill probably finish this weekend. I reached out to RCI to see if they would do anything since all their welds failed but i smaked the shit out of it. Like i thought i cracked the oil pan it was so bad lol.

 

Yeah I reached out to them about the rear skids as I mangled those up bad but just ended up making my own. That’s funny I’m in the long process of making my front. I’ll be chopping the front up higher as well.

 

Got shamed separately by 2 people (best friend and father in law) about my hazing headlights
I guess I need to re-prioritize some projects. I've used the mothers kit, and it worked great but of course once you remove the protective surface, the hazing becomes routine. Moved onto mag polish every couple months, but I may be beyond that at this point. Did the ultimate headlight mod a couple years back but never changed the housings. OEM TRD pro's are $200 each.....not syked.

 

I suggest trying partsgeek.com. I bought clear replacements for the 2012 that perfectly match the oem for around $120 each. After 13 months they still look new. I also bought a pair of black bezel Sports for my 2008 for only $146. I have been very happy with them. These were the BROCK brand and I have bought this brand for several vehicles over the years. Very good quality. One thing I always do is add a bead of clear sealer around the seam of every headlight I replace just as a precaution. My 2008 factory stock headlights were nice and clear but one developed a small leak that left a water line inside the headlight.

 

Try the Cerakote kit. I did mine back in April and they still look good.

Just ordered some new tires in 285/75 16 Hoping to get them mounted and installed in the next couple weeks.

 

Dude, those are projector lenses that are an entirely different animal than a halogen reflector.

I don't care who you are, you can't "adjust" LED scatter from a reflector. I'd love to see some pics of y'alls "cut off".

 

Lots of folks buying new housings lately. Spend the couple extra bucks and get a ceramic coating kit. Makes them look like a million $ and protects them from future fading
