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

go fish it out & call them monday am, u have nothing to loose!

 

all u need is the end with the logo

 

Yep what do you have to loose if they say no , oh well, if they send you one and you don't want it sell it

 

Just checked with AVS. The warranty was for 3 years and does not cover incidental damage. No biggie

 

sorry man, i wasn't sure about the time line, or liability.

 

Yeah i like that. It looks very clean.

 

Yeah didn't hurt to check

 

Gave the inside of my Taco a good cleaning today and started the debadging/stickering. Wish it would have been warmer for a bath!

 

Gave her a much needed bath. Damn salted roads!

 

Are the headlights the same in both of these pictures. Or are the ones below the new ones?

 

I gave my truck a good cleaning before the snow came and had a new custom exhaust system built using a Black widow venom 250 muffler. http://www.blackwidowexhaust.com/mu...nter-SKU-BW001-C/p/35648298/category=15730041 They are worth looking into.

I previously had a flowmaster series 50 muffler 1in/2out running split exhaust that came out of the back of the truck. I loved that system and the sound but it rusted completely and I needed to get another exhaust built. I already have a aFe Stage-2 Si Pro 5R Cold Air Intake System Dry filter installed.

I really like the sound of the Venom 250 on my truck. The initial firing up sound is aggressive and loud enough but doesn't scare small children. It was 11F this morning while starting the truck in the video. With that said, your neighbors will definitely know when you have started your truck because the exhaust note travels inside the house easily. Just under normal idle while sitting at a light or in a drive through you wont notice it to much, but once you get on the throttle you and everyone around you will hear it. Getting onto the highway or passing anyone puts a smile on my face each and every time.

The biggest thing that I noticed with this muffler compared to the last system that was on my truck is how much "quieter" the Black widow muffler sounds inside the cab compared to outside the truck, It doesn't sound annoying or overly loud. It has some hum at 1500 rpm, so going 35 down the road you might have a little hum but not annoying drone. At 2k RPM while doing 70mph the exhaust is comfortably quiet and easy to drive, but once you bring the motor up to 3200 RPM she stops sounding like a Tacoma and makes me smile. The company Black widow is worth looking into to for sure.

Addon :
I also have an Afe Cold air intake with a dry filter, with the old exhaust I noticed that after 3k rpm you would loose the sound of the muffler because the intake sound would take over. After having the new exhaust for about a month now the biggest thing that I noticed is a pretty consistant power band and also engine sound. There is no drop of one sound for another. As the RPMs get higher the whole engine system sounds strong and happy.

 

Looks like a before and after. You can see on mine how the black part is visible from the side.

 

What black part are you talking about? Like the white shell

 

I was talking about the side of the headlight

 

Pelfreybilt steel plates, been just sitting on the work bench. Finally got some time to bolt them up. I have to admit, bolt holes were spot on, a top quality product if I may say so.

 

Love the color

 

Thanks.

 

What brand guard is that? I like it

 

I did too.
