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

That looks awesome!

 

I had a HTC media link laying around. I bought the crux avity-01 bought a HDMI to av3 adapter a couple DC USB power supplies and a Bluetooth can OBDII adapter and connected them together.

 

I got the lift without the trim packer two weeks ago... I couldn't resist anymore and decided to install the rear lift!

 

Nice! I always hated those TSS dealer package trucks

Edit: I mean the stickers and bling. I don't hate your truck

 

I'm not the biggest fan of camper shells, but that looks freakin sweet!!

 

Wish I had a shell. Way to expensive.

 

Finally found enough time to wire up the lights on my headache rack. I now have full functioning brake lights, running lights, signals, and reverse.

 

Hand washed and waxed


Painted skid plate

 

Been quiet on here lately with finals. Sadly haven't done much to or with the truck lately, but this is just from a dang construction site that's flooding my neighborhood with mud... Love getting 6 inches of rain in 3 days

 

Ordered my TRD Exhaust a minute ago... Was going to install my OME lift over the weekend... Decided to strain a muscle in my leg instead. Not doing anything until this starts feeling better!

 

I've considered this with other vehicles before (the taco is not bad enough yet) but was always concerned about the additional weight. Does anyone have any experience with that?

 

Fixed another inner CV boot. I put a silicone Dorman on the other side and it's holding up well so went with the same.

 

Search Craigslist. I found my shell on there in good condition for $350. Had for a Year and just sold it for $400 a few weeks ago.

 

Wrecked it...



I was able to get new lights, & I ordered a new radiator, and AC condenser.

I still need a hood, bumper cover, and a grill- but those will have to wait :-/ my wallet is sore

 

thats a bummer man!
do you plan to fix her back up?

 

Well, at least you did a good job with it.

That sucks though.

 

Absolutely ! I'm bummed because I know the damage is there- it's not perfect anymore no matter how close I get it. I ordered the parts I need to get it back on the road. But cosmetic stuff like the grill and bumper, and the hood will have to wait.

 

what else besides those parts do you need?
a headlight for sure

 

Yea I actually got the headlights already, both were trashed- a friend of mine had some extra so I bought them from him, the ac condenser was punctured and the radiator cracked along the seam so I ordered those.

After the accident I couldn't drive away because the fan shroud had gotten pushed back into the belts and pulleys so in order to get home I cut a good portion of the shroud off with tin snips, so I ordered a new one of those as well. there's a couple really bad spots of creased metal where I imagine I won't ever get it back to normal but pretty close at least. I may try to salvage the bumper cover but the grill took the blunt of it and it rest in pieces in the dirt now

 

Just some more photos for the curious minded
