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

Got around to touching up my battery base/holder/tray (not sure what its called). Looks like at some point acid must have spilled there causing it to eat up the paint and start rusting under the plastic tray.

Before:





After wire wheel:





Done:

 

It's tight as a son of a bitch but I can remove the filter box

 

Adjusted alignment at home since all of the shops are closed around me, also pulled one of the overloads from my dakar medium duty pack so it sits level and doesn't have rake. Didn't want to crank the preload on the kings. For anyone wondering, the centering pin on Medium duty dakar's are not fully threaded and you will have to grind and custom fit a bolt.

 

Soon.....ECGS built 4.56 gears with Harrop e-lockers.

 

Nice RPT1s!

 

Stock bulbs are H11 with 1250 lumens. The 2x2 white LEDs are around 2000 lumens. Noticeably brighter but not super bright to blind drivers as you mentioned. I'm not sure if the amber lights have a different output though, I think the ambers are 3x2 but don't quote me on that.

 

Dogs only give you one bad day, So Sorry

 

Not OP, but I have those brackets and their 30" bar with the Toyota Style switch. Couldn't be happier with it. Throws an insane amount of light for a $250 light bar, and the brackets go on super easy. I had to trim some of the plastic on my lower grill a bit for the bar to fit, but that's my fault for tweaking the bumper a bit off road. If you've never smushed your truck into a snow bank at 15-20 mph you should be fine (see zip ties holding lower grill in place so it doesnt block the bar lol.) The longest part of the install is doing the wiring, especially since I put my switch in the lower panel in front of the shift. Total PITA accessing that panel.

 

How long is your new breather hose, and where does it locate at the end? *looks at stock breather, with 12" shocks on my truck*

 

The new hose I got is 10' and I probably trimmed 30" after I'd routed it up to the driver bedside cubby.

 

Screw you and your sexy ass tacoma

 

Gotcha! Thanks man! Love your truck and have followed along on a fair amount of your videos

 

Also, not so much something I did TO my truck as something I did WITH it, but had my second driving lesson (stick shift lessons) with my girlfriend today and she actually got out on public roads for about 15 minutes she did great, even if she was a little nervous and stalled a few times at lights. I also hit 120k the other night but neglected to snap a pic, I didnt notice until I rolled a few miles past.


Rare for me passenger seat view

 

i feel ya, i put the switch and wiring in the area next to the smaller cup holder, a PITA accessing that area

 

Smaller cupholder?

 

I was thinking about it but these videos pretty much have all the info needed to customize tail lights. (At least in my case)

Gave her a good cleaning..
Waiting on my matte black decal for my scoop.. will be putting bilstein 6112/5160s on.. and contemplating a softopper. Some armor after that.

 

I have zero welding experience until today but it had to be done....
