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

Here is the key vs deep sockets

 

Hey Ben...hate to say it, but those TRD badges are junk. Only had mine a couple months and the chrome is fading and the white and red colors are already fading and looking cheap. I had to take mine off this weekend because it wasn't looking clean enough for me to display anymore. Best of luck with yours...

 

Never know, I might just hate them once they are installed. If that happens, I'll go with some BLACK Gorilla Lugs or something.

Thought process was it would look aggressive paired with the Bead Locks I have coming in. I doubt they would come close to the Rock Ring, who knows though. Couple more days hopefully.

Wheels in reference

 

X2 fire protection
Installed hubs from bamatoy. 99990 miles passenger side had at least 10 more miles in it. Drivers side well on it's way out

 

Those are sweet! What model and make did you get? They may end up looking pretty badass when paired with those.

The powder coat from them will take longer than I am willing to wait. Plus at $90 each wheel, and an additional $40 per ring? It is a bit steep for my liking. That said, I am in talks with a couple people locally. With 5 wheels thats $650 for my set. I feel it is a bit unreasonable.

When I get them, I will most likely just dip them black as a temporary solution. I refuse to roll in Bare aluminum. If the price points for the Anti Salt Powder Coat are not reasonable, or its not available, Will just use Rustoleum in a satin black. Rustoleum might really be the best option here. I can do touchups on the fly and never have to worry about color matching. Rock rash won't be a huge deal at that point. Powder coat or any coating paint or not, does not hold up to rock rash. The metal is being gouged.

20" - Plans for 37" tires in the future. I feet the rubber to metal ratio will look good and be functional.

I see vehicles with HUGE tires and TINY wheels all the time. Functional? Sure! Looks? well, we can see in the Automotive industry, most vehicles are going with LARGER Wheels now. 20" are a standard thing with manufacturers now.

To each their own though. My preference is Functionality and Looks. Like the best and balance of both.

 

Installed one of these:

 

Got my very first paint chip at the hood. Making me consider one of those Unibrows.. hmmm

 

Yup its true, I thought I was invincible

 

same here. gave the truck a wax too

 

Installed Blue Seas Fuse Block and connected my light bar and back up lights to it.

 

My truck looks like it's 10 years old and I've had it for 2 months. I'm sad

 

it was only 5 bux so I wouldn't doubt its crap...maybe then ill black them out...

 

Thanks guys.

 

Its a fire system. Not my garage. Its my coast guard shop.

 

Thank you.

 

Oh... Cool.

 

He's referring to the body style (2nd gen is 10years old).
I get compliments on my '06 with 100000miles! I'm happy

 

If you don't like the unibrow look there is clear bra or 3M paint defender
