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

They're gone



Found this crap on the driver side

 

WD40 works also

Edit: I'm reading the thread backwards. WD40 was already mentioned.

 

PITA more than anything. I was taking off my bumper to remount my light bar and they were only a nuisance

 

On the other hand, you'll probably gain 1-2 mpg after shedding all that mud weight

 

Haha for real. I found this in my gas tank skid. At least 5 lbs of mud here

 

This is the first I've ever heard of this as well. I spent alot of time looking at pictures of people's aux fuse panels on here before I built mine and almost everyone had them mounted the same way I do. Is vertical better because it keeps water out better? Or is it actually better for the relay itself?

Plenty of manufacturers mount relays horizontally from the factory. Here's a pic I found from a quick googlemachine search:



I think the pic is from a Nissan Maxima. I'm not saying you're wrong I've just never heard this before so I'm curious to learn more.

 

Added D-rings up front

 

Primed my aux fuse block panel.

 

Finally installed my Grid-It. Probably went overboard with 4 strips of 'EXTREME VELCRO', but oh well - never know when I'll need to strap 30lbs to the underside of my center console. I think my UltraFire flashlight will fit horizontal across instead of the longer (and not as bright) as the Mini-Mag, so going to try reorganizing things later to fit better and more stuff.

 

Installed my Prinsu Rack

 

this what you bought it from?

It's not that they don't work, it's that in the engine bay mounted vertically they are less likely to get water in them, from the bottom, which is not always sealed 100%.

 

I put these on

 

That and I read somewhere that it's better for the internal switch. Especially for offroading, and the bumps you wouldn't want the switch to bump off or on. Sometimes such a bump caused the switch to "weld" in that position. Vertical was the least likely position for something like that to happen.

 

Bought mine on Amazon for like $9-something. It's the more rectangular/smaller version of what you linked to. I cut the zipper pouch out of the back and notched the side to clear the hinge. Took maybe 20mins, and that was with a second hinge clearance cut in the back.

 

I just installed one of these in my console top. The 5 1/2 in x 10 1/2 inch grid it fits perfect, the only thing you need to do is make a couple 1/2 inch cut outs for the console hinges. 2015 Taco.

 

ok thank you guys.

 

washed and detailed, then took the wheels of the M3 to get nitor fill and working on getting the M3 down and running again.

Installed a Pilot Motorsports stainless steel tip. Had to cut the existing tail pipe back 2-1/2" to keep the tip from sticking out so far.
