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

Do you have a write up/how to on this? Appears you did a phenomenal on the cut. I wouldn’t have known til you said something. Great job!

 

You should have spent that snorkel money on paint

 

I married a woman that can drive a stick.

 

So did I, and well...

 

Nice write up. I have the bags and cradles waiting to be installed.

 

Give me a shout when you are ready. Since you have closed the gap it will be a tight fit but in my biased opinion I think it cleans up the front end nicely!

Nice! I would love it if my Falkens were that size...

Here's your size difference:

 

Well I’m gonna try it tomorrow I hope they fit without any mods.

 

I think you should be fine. I have 275/70/17 with Bilstein 5100 and only have minor rub when the wheel is all the way turned in reverse.

 

Good I’m stressing it ain’t gonna work and I’m giving him my old tires to run the wrecked truck through the sale.
Do you have mud flaps. I’d like to keep mine.

 

Thanks! that's the beauty of the internet, pictures can hide a lot of flaws.

No write up yet, it was a "hurry and get it done so I can at least get a couple hours of sleep" type of project and it was a learning process, so I didn't take pictures. Patience with a nice, sharp, new razor blade is all it took to cut that. It's soft, so fairly easy to cut. I was surprised how much I had to cut off, though. That switch has some bulk on the side towards the center that you need to cut an allowance for in order to keep the movement for the horn.

I could probably go back and take pictures of what I cut compared to the other side and do a write up from there.

My truck didn't have the wiring for it, so I had to figure out the pinout on my own and run the wires to the radio.

 

Help a fellow Canadian out. Where may I ask did you get the eyelids from?

Link to this switch?

 

I don’t. Took those suckers off the day I brought it home from the dealership lol

Also when I got the bigger tires I took off that weird little mud flap looking thing on the front side of the tire.

Worth a test drive with them on though if you like them.

 

Plasti dipped my bug guard. The P/O had some dragon and butterfly stickers on it that we're removed. Fresh coat of paint and it looks great

 

Wish I knew where they came from, bought them off of another member here. I remember seeing them on eBay about 7-9 years ago.

 

Way overdue...

Well worth the $20 bucks lol...thank you eBay!



No wires exposed, drilled a hole on all 3 rails. With the end caps on, wires are hidden and out of the way. Ended up using a hood pin switch, open the tailgate they come on and once closed, off.

 

Got these delivered today. Will get them installed this weekend.
