BlaisBrosTacos '08 Reg Cab 4x4 Build and Adventures

Excellent, float the idea at the table.

 

I hear ya.

 

Got my Coverking neoprene seatcovers on today. They look tan in the pictures but I assure you they are gray. Excellent fit!

 

Looks good.

 

Thanks Kyle

 

Working on a top secret small project for the truck right now. Now sure when I’ll get to installing though.

 

This isn’t the top secret project but I did get a new third brake light to put on

 

Top secret project is done
Thank you @pwalnut for your excellent write up and recommendations.

Added rock lights last weekend!!

There's 8 9watt pods total. Made my own mounts for the rear ones, just made of 1.5" flat stock steel, used the drill press and dremel, and a little primer, paint, and clearcoat.

I removed the screw that holds on the fender flare on each side, and used stainless bolts washers and lock nuts to hold these on. The front ones are screwed flush to the truck with stainless self drilling screws, wires go through the body under the headlight up front, and wires go through and out of the body using existing holes under the cab using a mechanical finger. Basically put 2 wiring harnesses together to make one for the 8 lights and each light has a 2 pin waterproof connector. All connections are heat-shrunk and taped. Wiring goes to my blue sea fuse block and an Oznium scion style amber lit switch.

Here's the mount and test fitting




after test fitting, I disassembled them, primed, painted and bolted the lights to the mounts with stainless hardware



Mounted to the truck (again using stainless hardware) and wired up. little dirty from driving but here they are...





and here they are lit up.

 

Nice!
I like that.

 

Finally got my @Bentrodder bed supports mounted up! Thank you again @Rattletrap66

 

Also, hit a few local trails with some guys from the Massachusetts Toyota Tacoma Enthusiasts Facebook page.

 

I forgot to mention, I did see @LivinLoud in his natural habitat today with a ML smoothie

 

That needs to be the Beer thread banner picture!!

 

nice!

 

Took a little longer the get bolted up because I wanted to clean them up and paint them. Came out nice. I can’t wait to use them

 

Wired in a 9 watt led rock light under the hood with a pin switch.

Don’t mind the extremely dirty engine bay

 

Dirty engine bay just means you're using the truck properly.

 

may be a stupid question but where did you buy these LED rock lights. Very cool project
