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

Picked up my bed mat from TRDParts4U (Toyota of Dallas) just down the road from the office. Not having bike wheels and pumps and tripods and all the other random stuff that ends up back there sliding back and forth every time I hit either pedal will be nice. Got home to find a package from csjumper came with the interior, reverse and 3rd brake light LEDs. So those go in tomorrow... if I feel like going out in the garage. Or may wait till the weekend when it's going to feel much more like spring.

 

I recently got my OEM bed mat too, and drilled one hole in the top to match up with the stock bed drain hole. Then i sunk a bolt with a washer, and on the bottom of the truck another washer, lock nut and wing nut. Its a small deterrent to somebody who wants to steal the mat, which happened to my buddy at his work a few weeks ago. Just my 2cents.

 

So far we've had less snow this year than I have in West Virginia or Philadelphia. Slightly more than Korea and DC.

 

Finished the wiring on my light bar. I like it.

Simple...yet functional...well done...

 

Damnit every time.

 

Did a serpentine belt yesterday. The couple walkthroughs I found didn't mention to do it from underneath! Never had a vehicle that had to go from the underside to do. I was ready to say screw it (wanted to get it done before work, so I had a half hour window), then I decided the crawl under, easy from there.

Also I recommend a short extension, like a 3/8x3/8 thumb adapter (it's about 1.5" OAL, with a 1" knurled bit so you can spin bolts down by hand quickly). There's not much clearance between motor and knuckle any which way you put that ratchet on the tensioner!

 

Quick question: how did u hook up the power wire for the switch? I just installed some PIAA's and I hooked the switch straight to the battery. Now the little led for the switch stays on all the time.

 

The 12v + for my switch is an 'add-a-circuit' tapped into a switched circuit in the fuse panel in the dash. That way when the key is off, there's no power to the light switch.

 

K thanks, I think I'll have to modify that on mine tmrw. I'm no electrician and I didn't realize the light would stay on till I had everything together. Dohh!

 

ReadyLift SST 3" kit installed! Wheels and tires to come in the next week or so

 

Wet Okole's customer service is the bee's knees. They are going to change out my color inserts in a few months. Way cheaper than getting a new set.

Thanks! I completely missed the link in your original posting.

 

Last night I said goodbye to my Tacoma. Came home with a 2015 Tundra!

 

Congrats! I've had my 07 Tundra for a few months and am quite happy, I imaging you will be too!

 

Watched this (says Tacoma, but it's a Tundra).

Headed back to the dealer to pickup the truck, they removed the Amp boards so I can install Steelcraft Nerfs.

Finished the install of my Baja Designs HID spot lights on a Westin light bar.

Put this fancy little guy inside.
