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

Ha! where you at?

 

I installed amber position led lights onto my grill and installed the roof rack by VPR 4x4

 

Ohhhh bud, dont take away from the fact they're raptor lights looks good though

 

Also, welcome to TW! Get ready to bust out your wallet

 

I have the same BAK cover. It’s nice, but in the 100+ degree summer, the felt came off. If you didn’t use any thread lock, you might want to. This summer I will be removing mine and reinstalling it with some thread lock. The blue stuff should be fine. I recommend it because mine has spit out a couple bolts and the bed is out of alignment making it hard to close.

 

Replaced the gauge cluster glass. Mine was scratched to hell and has been bothering me for 3 years. Easy to change it out and $20 for the part. Toyota used the softest plastic known to man on that damn
part.

 

Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to add some loctite. Hoping my felt doesn't come off... I don't experience 100+ much in SoCal where I live, but it does hit high 80s to low 90s. Did you do anything to put the felt back on? Also, when you say felt, do you mean the felt under the cover on both sides? Or the vinyl cover up top?

 

Part number?

 

Just installed a new Raptor Grill. Bought it off Amazon. Just let everybody know the plastic is cheap so be careful. Looks pretty clean . I tapped into my side marker for the power

Added a couple easy retrieval points.

 

Just an oil change today. Fumoto valve makes it so easy, and the catch can is doing it’s part.



One weird thing though, when I pulled the oil filter no oil came out. Anyone ever have that happen? Truck was sitting for like 24+ hours if that means anything.

 

Just finished bolting on my sliders. Kinda a pain in the ass doing it solo but it's done.

 

Which ones? I'd like a decent bolt on set

 

Great experience with the Fab Fours Bumper.

The tire carrier add-on I was less then impressed... It had several issues but was able to fix or turn blind eye during install:

-Welding was left unfinished before powdercoat, only tack welded in spots.
-Some incorrect fasteners sent with package (too short).
-1/8" grease fitting not tapped deep enough.
-U-bolt is a little too short.
-I might be missing something but this is what I am remembering now.

JLW82, with what I experienced, fitment was good but definitely lacking in the quality department for the Tire Carrier. The bumper was good though!

 

They were actually built by a guy at swamp donkey's off road so they are one off. I got them second hand though.

 

Got a set of rear springs with a AAL. They came off a 2017.

Anything I should do to these before I put them on?

Any advice on cleaning/greasing?

Currently running a 1 inch block spacer on my 2013.

 

Installed the Expedition Essentials 2TPAM rear cover panel. Subtle but covers the otherwise open back and looks great.

 

They really need to make these for 05-11’s.
