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

I like how they are so tucked to the body, looks Gooooooood.

One more question if you don't mind...what lightbar and mounting system did you go with in the lower valance?

 

Thanks for the help man

 

You could ask me questions all day long! I love my truck.

For the lightbar, I just went with some random one off Amazon for like $50. I've been running it for over a year and am just now getting a teeny tiny bit of condensation in it.

To mount it, I used an L bracket from Home Depot and used one self tapping screw per side to bolt it into the crash bar.

 

Not a problem! If you have any other questions, or want pics from different angles of that size let me know.

 

Sweet diagram!!!! Well in that case lol....

I heard it was a PITA to install those with the front bumper on, did you remove it or nah?

 

Nah, I left it on and it really wasn't too bad! I did remove the grill though. I just used a hacksaw blade to cut out the guts, and some tin snips to trim up the back. Took a few tries, and more trimming, but I got it mounted in about 30 min. The right of the pic is the front of the truck.

 

Thank you sir!!!

Alright yall, carry-on posting things you did tday

 

@EatSleepTacos did you have to cut the lower grill valance slats out to put light bar in?

 

Sure did!

 

my little brother is running 265/75/16's on his '06 dcsb on stock suspension with no rubbing. a guy i work with has the toytec suspension and running 285/70/16's with no clearancing other than mud flaps. for some reason these trucks seem to be all different

 

Thanks. I used the bolt leds from Oznium. http://www.oznium.com/motorcycle-led-bolt

You can check out this thread where I got some info from. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-raptor-style-lights.293647/

 

That's where & how I did mine w/ few tweaks

 

Quality material! Thanks! I may just have to borrow that idea.

 

Used my truck to drag half a 50 year old maple out of the street in front of my rental house tonight. Would have taken picture but its still pouring. Have to go back over tomorrow and cut it up better and haul it off.

At least my tenant was there to tell me about the water getting into the basement while I was working.

 

Not to hard actually, do not have to remove bumper.

Yes you have to cut out the mesh little by little until it fits

 

Went ahead and splurged on a TRD exhaust... $371.50 shipped to the house (supposedly)... Ordered one from an out of state dealer last year for a similar deal. Day later they called and said their shipping quote was incorrect and it would be $100 more.

I called this dealer to make sure the shipping quote at checkout is what I'd really pay... Guy assured me it would be. I'll believe it when I get the shipping email!

 

the ultra gauge doesn't have that same issue. atleast not that I know of, I can fill mine up anytime and just holding down the top arrow button will reset the fill meter and adjust DTE/TTE and all that.

 

Does he wheel at all? I agree that all trucks are slightly different, but there's no way he can stuff a 33 with no trimming.

 

brother does no wheeling, on road only. the guy i work with does some wheeling he's never had to do any trimming i know of. i'm running a 3" lift with 285/70/17's and haven't had to trim anything yet but who knows the tires were half worn when i got them so when i get new ones i may have to

 

Nice. I think I paid 485 for mine. Though, everything in New York is more expensive. I hope you enjoy it!
