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

Haha I agree, and I think it looks cleaner without them. First thing I did to every vehicle I’ve owned. Except my 93 Cummins, the Dodge plate was the entire tailgate.

 

Finally completed a mod i have been working on for the past few years... not sure why i took so long, as it wasn't that difficult. I 3d printed a replacement outer shell for the sharkfin antenna and removed the xm antenna guts and replaced with a 1080p backup camera. Since i have a 2012 with the stock bu cam in the rv mirror (i already added an anytime on relay for the stock cam) i now have a higher mounted backup cam that i control via the switch... last one on the right in the last pic (blurry)... added a small strip of matte vinyl to reduce glare.

 

Swapped my winter wheels/tires. Figured while I had the front wheels off, I would install the Baja Design fog lights I bought off marketplace last summer. Easy enough to do, except the plugs aren't compatible; didn't realize these should have come with adapters...

 

Great looking truck, love that blue. Love the stance, what size tires and lift?
The truck would be even more amazing with a color matched grill.

 

Debadge off the showroom floor or suffer the consequences!!!

 

Anyone looking to debadge, buy the drill attached eraser thingy tool (technical term). Works like a breeze to get the adhesive off. Save yourself the headache.

The only thing left are the TRD stickers!

 

man, if i lose the 10hp from those stickers i may not be able to make it up my driveway But i have black ones on order so we’ll see if i put them back on.

 

Over the last few months.. I wanted to keep her OEM looking.

1. New suspension with 2" lift, tires and OEM rims
2. De-chromed everything, OEM predator steps, Pro grill, OEM roof rack
3. RTT rack, LEDs, hard shell cover, floormats, tailgate lock, shifter, etc.

For my use case a 2" lift and 275/70/17 are perfect and just the right amount of rake for me.

Cheers!

 

Truck looks awesome! well done!

 

where'd you get the sidesteps from?

 

Local sale off of new gen3

 

Thanks! Those are FJC wheels with 255/75R17 KO2's, and no lift but that's my next big mod. I agree on the grill, but who the heck knows where I could find one of those.

 

direct bolt on? or did ya have to mod

 

Prob get the color matched grille from Toyota. My 2011 was around $220 just for a reference.

 

Direct bolt on, no mods

 

Done! Will post pics once received/installed.

 

Rad!
