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

Installed 2 Hella 500's behind the grill

 

Since I got my '08 in November 2010, I added an aFe OEM style air filter and removed the secondary carbon filter. I added variable speed windshield wipers which took all of $60 and 10 minutes. I also added a soft tonneau cover on the bed. I replaced the rear diff lube with 100% synthetic. Finally I replaced the crappy factory tires with Goodyear fuel max tires. I run them at 36 PSI and my last interstate trip at 70 MPH netted 28MPG. I'm doing the transmission lube replacement this weekend with synthetic. I'd like to replace the factory radio with something that has an aux port and could play MP3 cd's at least. That's it so far...

 

good call i didnt think about that... so if im understanding you. just change the the curve a bit instead of following the factory line.

 

it should only be about 120 lbs max... tough country bumbers are around 160lbs

 

Got this today....now to find some stuck Jeeps

 

Made my own 1.5" body lift. Gonna make a how to thread soon. It is the same material that Roger Brown uses and way less expensive. It cost about $50 total and that includes all grade 8 hardware (from Fastenal) and a rod of UHMW Polyethylene (from Grainger). Write up coming soon.

 

May I ask why you sold your Spidertrax? I am looking to run a set front and rear soon w/ stock OR TRD 16"ers.

 

Received my Weathertech's Today!!! Damn that was fast, I ordered these at about 7:30pm on Tuesday the 8th. They are on the ball...

Now all I need is the truck!

Also, paid $500 down on the Snuglid SL!! 3 to 6 weeks for that

 

Ordered my Spidertrax wheel spacers

BTW ordered from performance4trucks.com
and used FACEBOOK coupon code and saved $10
got them for $189

 

Installed some lights in my topper!! Now I can see at night! I used some cheapie fogs from Advanced Auto and mounted them up high behind the 3rd brake light. I then mounted a switch on the frame of the rear access. It's all wire nutted so I can remove the topper if need be.

I also mounted some cheapie LED's under my hood. No pics of them yet.

Wiring is now tucked in around the corner of the cap rail.

 

i painted to toyota emblem on the grill black and found out i have a little crack on my windshield ive only had the truck for 10 days. oh and wednesday got is serviced

 

jlee wleded on my sliders late last night! woot

 

My buddy and I installed Bilstein 5100s on my 08 taco. They work great!!!!

 

I picked up the truck last night from the dealership and today I cut the front mud flaps down about 6 inchs so they're even with the rears and got it muddy. This truck is so much fun I'm glad I bought it. Now I'm thinking about putting a NFAB front Pre Runner style light bar on it with 2 Lights either KC or Hellas.

 

Just finished plasti-dipping front valance (too dark for pics) and about to take steps off and get them ready to sell.

 

Sure, I am starting to save up for new wheels and suspension upgrades. I decided to move the cash from the spacers towards that. No reason to run spacers and then do the other upgrades. Knowing that they sell well here I didn't stand to lose much $$. There was nothing wrong with them. In fact, they seemed to make the truck more stable, especially in the snow. They ran smooth and were easy to install. The look was subtle but aggressive. I would still recommended spidertrax to anyone looking for the look or trying to fit different tires. They were high quality and I was a little sad to let them go. Kind just wanted to hang them in my garage because I thought they were neat.

 

washed, claybared the front , and waxed her

 

Got my D rings all around! Ready for Holister hills tomorrow.

 

Painted the grill black the other night. looks sick

 

Just ordered my parts to enable Day Time Running Lights.
