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

^ gleaming headlights on a dirty ass truck, I like it.

I just finished installing my enclosure from Mr. Marv and wiring a 10" sub.

 

All clean for Christmas!

 

ajohnson,

Got any pics of your enclosure in your truck?

 

I just used a hair dryer. Heat them up, start at a corner, add more heat to that corner and peel them off slowly while keeping the section you are pulling hot.

It takes a little work, about 30 minutes a side. I used lighter fluid to clean up after the sticker was removed. I've used goo-gone in the past but the lighter fluid worked better.

For some reason my drivers side was one of the hardest I've ever removed, not sure why. I've done this to about a dozen vehicles. You will see a light patch where the sticker was but that will disappear after a couple of months.

Some guys do this sticker removal with a wet towel and an iron. I've never tried that method, it might be easier. I just stick with what I know works. You can search for that method on this forum if you want to give it a try.

 

gonna scratch off easier than I thought. I think I bought some of the older style bedliner. some of the newer is urethane and/or kevlar fortified. also I used a self etching primer and am unsure if this was a mistake. looks awesome though.

 

Cant wait to slap these bad boys on!

 

Made a mount for my bluesea panel
wired and installed the switches for my lights.
Abs disable switch
anytime locker.

 

Ordered a couple of 130w spotlights, some flood-style backup lights along with a few relays/double/triple throw switches and some standard 10guage wire. Plan to tear the truck down over the next few days.
Need to:
-de-chrome (paint the bumpers black)
-figure out where i want to mount the toggle switches
-figure out best style/mounting of cheap rock-lights
-hope my 80amp alternator doesn't burn up lol
-hardwire in a radar-detector
-move the horn mounts
-Still trying to figure out where to incorporate a CB radio in the dash


Pics when done. This is going to be the start of my mods, besides the radio/extra fog lights/seatbelt buzzer. & hopefully I don't need to buy a light bar for the spot lights. Planning on drilling into the bumper or using some cheap @$$ home depot brackets.

 

It was pretty easy. Good luck and have fun.

Installed black headlights. Turned out great.

 

did you get ebay ones? or do the BHLM?

Im ganna be getting some soon...

 

Not sure if its been posted or done but here is what I did the second week I had my new Taco

 

Nice job and nice job on the video - usually see Youtube - this worked very well. Thanks.

 

Sold my OEM shocks (all 4) and springs and added the proceeds to my mod fund

 

What kind of LED Strips did you use? I'm trying to get all my "light" mods done. Foot-well lights would be a good addition especially while I have the dash off.

 

Nice! What LED's did you use?

 

Got my 60K maintenance done

 

Used it to picked up the Mule for my dad. I am in definite need of the rear leaf spring TSB
