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

....testing purposes. Gotta love it!

 

Got out into the woods after a stressful day, decided to check how much my 285's rub. A lot is the answer



Thought I was going to rip the flare off when I hit the front first lol

 

Have split elm logs before?

 

I think it is I clean it out every oil change and outs just thick shitty looking oil I clean out of it. makes me feel good that it's not going back into the intake

 

It is. So clean that way - maybe sticker in the bed!

 

Cut a couple of inches off the tailpipe to install an oem exhaust tip.

 

It is... keeps my intake tract clean and also the throttle body too

 

Nothing spectacular, but did the raptor lights in my grille tonight.

 

Wow those are crazy bright compared to the DRLs. How many lumens do each of those put out?

Here's a link for the ones I installed. It says they are 8 lumens each.
They look better in person.

 

Well now I have to add the cst spindles to my list

 

My ML-ACR showed up.

Now to figure out where to mount it??? Is it better to have it closer to the starting battery or the house battery ?

 

Did you get the warm or the cool?

 

I got Amber. The warm and cool are for the white LEDs.

 

I had the ozniums in the other truck maybe I'll just give these a try/

 

Did you just wire them strait into the parking lights or dtrl's? They shouldn't need the power supply thing

 

I looked at oznium, but decided on these because I wanted something a little different and a little brighter.

I wired them in as described in this thread. They are wired to the green parking light wire. I may try to figure out how to wire them to the DRLs as well though. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-raptor-style-lights.293647/

 

Yep that's what i did the last time thanks ordering now

 

No problem. Happy to help.
Just an FYI, be careful when drilling the holes for them. I didn't take into account initially how tall the bolt was. I couldn't get the bolt in the holes closest to the outer edges because of the curve of the grille. I had to drill a new hole for one of them.

 

Thanks! yeah the ozniums were a pita to get mounted as well. They're ordered now I have something to look forward to next week. I may look at a different way to mount as my center hoop blocks them a little but we'll see
