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

well thats sweet....

 

They say:
"The uniform and accurate beam pattern is designed according to road safety regulations for halogen headlights"

It doesn't say its designed for halogen reflectors. I am suspect as well. Still seems like it will throw massive amounts of glare.

 

Haha! Its behind the building so you only see shop bays. You can't tell it's a Honda dealership.

 

woa...they look new.....i wud like to replace mine with a good suspension seat, but the co that was making the black box to fool the electronics isnt any more.....I have added some xtra dense foam to mine for more comfort..

 

Well guys, I'm really ramping up the mods! Got the crappy old paint off the Tacoma lettering.... And wait for it....... Replaced the temp control nobs! All the off-road cool points now!

 

Thanks man yeah they look brand new. One thing is the wrinkles in the side bolster that are forming from getting in/out of the truck, but otherwise really happy.

What black box? I didn't find anything like that necessary.

 

I had a busy past couple months but here is what I added:

Built a roof rack to attach to the OEM Toyota rack:





Added a Plano box to the roof rack to carry recovery gear, jumper cables, tools and miscellaneous equipment:





Finally picked up my rock sliders from Bay Area Metal Fab *BAMF* and painted them and got them on this past weekend:










Ready to hit the hills and run from the coronavirus now

 

I want to do an after market Corbeau or similiar seat, but the electronics for the various connections into the safety systems need to be redone...

 

Nice!, Does it happen to say in your instructions if this cable will work with a Macbook Laptop?

 

Put red backing behind the logo cutouts in my bumpers.

 

A wise auto tech once told me that if you were ever interested in buying X brand vehicle, drive around back to the staff lot and see what they are driving. I have yet for that advice to not pay off.

 

Y'all don't have any emissions inspections or anything in CA that's the first I've heard that!!!

 

What grade of gasoline do you guys put in your trucks? I've always been one of the overachiever 'premium always' guys but man is it breaking the bank lol.

 

Regular and once every couple of weeks non ethenol and once a month premium

 

I ran 91 for a while, didn't do anything for me but paying 1.40 a liter was fun for a bit.

 

ordered ECGS bushing and tool.

 

Wheels and tires. Next is CMC!

 

So what, 85?

 

87 is reg for us. pump gas goes 87,89,91,94

so 87.

im sure 85 would be fine?

 

Oil and filter changed over the weekend using shell rotella gas truck; put in a fumoto valve, too. Bando serpentine belt today and rolled over 100k.
