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

Chadspride is liked often.

 

How'd the Deavers compare to Dakars I may be looking for some at some point

 

Nice Setup! Methods are some nice wheels. That’s what I have on mine as well

 

Man I can not have a solid window. I’m always hauling material and that back window is the best to slide pieces of baseboard or any longer pieces of wood thru it.
Love the full window look tho. ✌✌✌

 

Swapped the cluster leds

 

SICK!! one day ill have mine done.

 

Does the blue light bother you at night? I like the way it looks but am worried it would mess with my eyes

 

I did turn down the brightness. And I wouldn't use white for anything like headlights that's on all the time but, to answer your question, no it doesn't bother at all

 

Thanks!
Not hard to do.

 

Can't compare to the Dakars never ran Dakars but I will say made in America my spring set was $l000 compared to the Dakars $561 (both these prices from HeadStrong +free shipping). Personally I think the deavers are a little bit more "heavy duty" a little less flex. You have to make the decision of what you use your rig for.

When I made the call I was between the Deavers, Chevy 63", and Dakars. Because I carry a decent load on a regular basis and I knew I wasn't going to be making a more capable trail rig I was comparing these based on payload capacity etc.

If you would like to know more of my decision making process and research I'm happy to oblige.

 

Are the method grids now the NVs? On their website they look just like the meshes

 

Yes it eliminated the wind noise at highway speeds and reception has been great but really haven’t been outside KC to notice if reception is better or not, but would assume it would be somewhat better than the shorter antenna I did have.

 

Nice! Mine came in today as well... Going to change oil tomorrow, using dino this go ‘round and switch to synthetic on my 40k oil change... So I’m covered for the next 95k lol

 

I think the grid and the mesh are very similar. The nv's aren't far off though. All the wheels look somewhat alike with little tweaks

 

How are you liking the Firestone AT's? Had them on a Liberty (I know I know) for about a year and I was indifferent on the wear of them.

 

Yesterday, had to change out the bulbs in the headlights because the passenger side one went tits up.

Got the Sylvania SilverStar Ultras (again) because they preformed great for over a year and I run my lights on all the time so pretty decent longevity.

On another note: Holy shit I forgot how much of a pain in the ass it is to change the bulb on the passenger side! Had to unbolt the wiper fluid reservoir to get in there. Of all the things Toyota did right with our vehicles that's one thing that I still scratch my head over.

 

On my sis in laws Legacy, you have to take the tire off to change the DS headlight. Talk about poor planning.

 

Maybe bolt cutters

 

Ask the owner for permission?

 

It’s one of our electric cooperatives. Most of their lines have some great trails around here. Many aren’t gated.
