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

Just finished putting in some Redline hood struts. Love it!!

 

Are they doing the discounts still?

 

Especially with the side panels one. I was surprised how stout those actually are. Took a good 30 minutes to get it up into position with the side panels on. Lift on side one notch on the jack. Lift the other. Pump one the floor jack. Check alignment. Repeat over and over again lol. Was happy once the bolts were in lol

Course then i found out the hitch wont go on with the spare tire in place. So had to lower the spare tire to put the hitch in which was a tight fit and took some help from a rubber mallet...which broke on me...and then a sledge hammer to finesse into place.

O well its all done now and it was kinda fun struggling by myself. I get a laugh when i think how fast it would be with three people. Ok Bob lift your side..hair more...ok Joe lower yours...ok bolts in we're done.

I ordered Toytec adjustable coilovers, All Pro Apex bumper, All Pro sliders, and Light Racing UCA's all from Cochrene Toyota. Everything usually arrives at door 2 days after ordering. Beats ordering from the U S of A. Been waiting on mud flaps from Utah for about 3 weeks now.

 

Yea, I put the hitch in way after the bumper. I took the spare tire 100% out and set it to the side then hammered the shit out of the hitch to get it up in there and then bolted it in.

Awesome, thought it might have been Cochrane! I ordered my Pelfreybilt aluminum front plate bumper from them, waiting on that and might look at some other toys when I go pick it up

Bravo! +1

 

Mounted a jerry can between the 20mm ammo cans. Adjusted my kings for a lower ride height.

 

Was thinking of going that route. Let me know how you like them

 

This.



More pics and install notes in my build thread. Go to my last post
Now gotta do something about those tires...

 

Have the same one....

 

It is currently bricked, but every time I go over the speed limit the audible notification goes off, so the unit itself is working, just stuck on the reverse cam feed. talked to Pioneer for hours troubleshooting again, ran through every option, end result..... the unit itself is internally bad. Thankfully I ordered it through an official Pioneer dealer, so they are sending me a brand new one. Just have toswap my current with the new one and put it back in the box with the shipping label the provide and send it back


That looks like everything you need. I have heard that with the shop installs, they can't get the stock backup camera to feed into the radio without getting a new camera, because toyota. so don't be suprised if by they don't get the backup camera to feed, it's easy to do yourself and I can explain how to do it later on of by you'd like.

In terms if the ASWC-1, I actually used

$78 Crux SWRTY-61J Radio Replacement Accessories

Crux SWRTY-61J for steering wheel controls, so I can't help you there.


I hope everything gets installed right for you!

The Puppy mod is the best. Got a 2 1/2 year old Yellow lab. He's a trusty co-pilot who loves the truck!

 

Peeled off the "TSS stickers". Just looked a little corny to me.

 

Said goodbye to my almost 16-year-old beagle a couple weeks ago. Still feeling blue. The other dog remains, an excellent lil' mutt of some sort. Considering whether to get another dog... pics like this make me forget what a tremendous PITA it can be at times.
