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

this makes me worry... now I feel i MUST drop mine and take a peak..

 

Put the over priced skid plate on.

 

Nice work! The carpentry skill has always eluded me

 

installed bed lights

 

NICE!! Did you use the tutorial for it or did you wire it a different way?

 

duplicolor bed armor both bumbers, bought a headache rack and then proceded to cut it up to make it cooler shaved my head and and and....... oh ya wired up new kc daylighters ha ha

 

Do you got any pics of the bumpers? How did it turn out and did you remove them? I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know, gotta know!!!

 

I did that today too! Looks about the same amount I dropped out haha. I noticed mine has a hole started in it though. Guess it's time to start looking at skid plates.

 

If you're talking about the tutorial where the lights come on when the tailgate opens (only "tutorial" i saw), then no, I didn't do that, because when I haul my bikes, I have to have the tailgate down since they're so long, and I didn't want the lights to be on all the time. I installed a toggle switch at the very back of the bed, so you can open the tailgate and flip the switch. I also bought a factory fog light switch and installed that in the cab, so I can flip the lights on from inside (you know, to check if my bikes fell over when I take turns too fast ). So you you can turn the lights on and off from two separate locations. It's super convenient.

 

Check Harbor Freight. They are cheaper. If you have a coupon, they are as low as $200+tax.
Marlin

 

Painted the grill emblem black, used Tamiya spray paint for plastics, 3 coats. Came out great. Might have to do the rest of the emblems.

 

Front 5100s installed and set at 1.75 all for $70 pics in my gallery

 

That's why I kinda prefer working with metal... lol If I f something up, I can weld it back together, and cut/grind/drill as needed....

 

That's pretty cool to have dual switches. I did see something here a while back about putting the lights in there and having a switch in the cab but it is possible I am confusing mods. But anyway, invention is the mother of necessity (or something like that).

 

I was bored today so I replace the old bulb to LED ones.Cheap and 5 mins.later I was .

 

I love my LEDs too! They definitely make it a lot nicer looking. Did you do the inside ones too?

 

Nothing.... Just read about 5 hours worth of TW while being deployed... Gotta love it..

 

Debadged

 

They are set at 2.5. I haven't measure the exact lift. Doesn't rub anymore, that's for sure.

 

Put a coat of wax on the Tacoma. Getting her ready for the beach tomorrow.
