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

I know you’re a long bed but what cap are you using? Truck looks great.

 

Yeah the cap’s nice... but those squinty headlights!

 

it’s an old ARE that I found on Craigslist ($300) that was gold. Local guy vinyl wrapped it for me.

That, sir, is a black truck.

 

What’s you use to get rid of those scratches?

The wife of the previous owner has destroyed my blue door with her talons...

 

Talk about scooping up a deal! I’m looking at new ones. While the price for them suck, deciding on a style is almost as bad. Any idea which one it’s comparable to? I was thinking the CX classic but haven’t seen many styles in person yet.

 

What bumper is that? Looks awesome

 

Installed my faux grill from JP and DD SS3 fog lights tonight. Couldn’t wait till the weekend

 

Some new eyes

So I changed my oil yesterday and the guys at work were giving me a hard time because I haven't finished many mods on my truck (told them it's too cold to work on the truck).
One saw my ditch light brackets and said I should put a large LED light bar there, he was joking but that would look weird.

 

So the EAG Raptor-style grille arrived last night at like 2100.. dunno what USPS person is still delivering in the night.. but it came. Bought it on eBay for $199.99 shipped.

Out of the box everything seems in order- I really dig this already, but my girl wanted to eat dinner so I had to sleep on it.

The grey lower bumper has been bugging me, so before I got installing- I derped it with plasti dip. If it doesn’t hold up, maybe I’ll go through the PIA process of removing it to paint.

Two things to really note about this grille- The EAG logo is screwed on to two brackets that do not come off... I’m going to have to Dremel them out at some point because even tho it’s a small detail- why not use a separate backing piece that come off?? And secondly- everything seems to line up really well, except the plastic clip holes really took some leaning on the grille to get it seated correctly. Otherwise, I’m impressed with how she lines up with the headlights, trim, and hood! Wiring was easy with tie-ins at the DRL plug.

 

Daddy likes that. What's your suspension setup like in this pic? 285-75-17 is where I'm headed.

 

Why are 295/75 tires cheaper then 255/85?

***This doesn’t account for all the trimming(pinch weld) and cmc you have to do. I also removed fender liner and didn’t put back in.
