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

Thanks. Yours looks quite nice. Man, they sure are proud of that one. Expensive.

 

I wish I had bought the dual color dome light when they came out, I just went with the single color map light, man are they bright. Next round of the domes I am there. If I recall correctly the initial run of dome lights there was an issue with the actual size of the plastic surround, which MESO fixed and took care of those that had purchased.

 

If I had the space for another vehicle it would totally be a single cab 4x4 like that. I see that its 2wd, maybe it needs tons?

 

lol, I got tired of waiting for a MESO dome (and I missed the last round), so I said fuck it and just made my own. It's not nearly as pretty as an integrated unit, but it is really useful with a SPDT switch for the high/low. I could go and find a rheostat dimmer, but that's a bunch more work that I'm fine not doing.

 

I don't think that's a bad look at all. But I also don't get why. What is the point of having a colored dome light?

 

100% correct. I think he only shipped a handful out before catching it. I remember he sent me an email offering a refund or a 15% discount on the order for waiting... I opted for the discount since I was in no rush.

red preserves night vision so it’s much more usable while driving at night.

 

I often roll up to my chosen hunting plots in the dead of morning, well before the sun comes up. I turn off my dome and turn on the red light on low intensity to spare my night vision, so when I move into the woods/fields under cover of darkness, I can do it without needing a head lamp to lead the way, or the need to wait several minutes in complete darkness for it to become sharp again.

 

Yup. I was in on those first 'out of spec' domes. Meso was on it. Stopped shipments, contacted customers, offered a future discount. Perfect lights arrived a couple weeks later. Fit and function are perfect.

I've got a red truck, and the LED whites are brighter, so I did it thinking it'd be fun, and maybe functional, upgrade. Well, the red dome as the standard is awesome. Excellent visibility and just easier on the eyes. I almost never use the white light.

 

Rear seat delete last night. I didn't know the mounting bolts for the seat brackets and seatbelts go all the way threw the truck. I could see ground when I pulled them out so I had to put them back after I removed everything. I have a alignment after work today and then hopefully I have enough time before Saturday to make a flat platform for back there and also still need to build my PVC solar shower for this trip.

 

Switched out hazed headlights for OEM Pro upgrade. Love the look and clarity! Also drove out to the property to dig a hole and install a new mailbox (ours is the one on the end).

 

one ton axels.

 

I put shiny knobs on it. Probably gave me an additional 5 HP at the AC vent.

FWIW: Bought the shiny knobs from AliExpress for $5.

Damn could you even see any light from those headlights?

 

I used painters tape on the easiest ones. I kind of made my own shapes bcuz I didn’t want to cut over the dials with the exacto blade. You can use clear tape to trace it first n put the stencil over painters tape n cut the shapes out . I used a thin layer of plastic dip bcuz it’s tight around as it is .

 

Cool story bro

 

Love those red lights!

 

Hell ya

 

Replaced the struts on my new to me ARE shell. The old ones had seen better days lol

 

Link please? Mine are giving out and in the winter they dont hold the glass up.

 

Added a cheapo tool box in the bed. I needed something small to replace the crappy Toter I had my beach and bike stuff in. This fit the bill and the budget. $170 at Lowe's. Also available in black if anyone is looking.
