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

Before I got rid of my 2012 Prerunner I bought my 2007 4x4, swapped a few parts....so that'll explain one 2012 out there with non-LED tails.

Some people have wondered why I have LED tails and no running lights up front.

 

That's one sick looking truck. That's one of my least favorite taco colors and it looks awesome right there.

I hope you didn't withhold that information when you sold the 2012.

 

Haha nice. Not a big deal as long as the tails work...no one will notice.

 

That is one of the sickest looking trucks I have ever seen!

 

I wouldn't do that to someone, long story short, I let that truck get repo'd on purpose. Funny thing is I still got a check back in the mail when it was auctioned for more than the loan.

 

Installed Factor55 Prolink

 

Your forum name seems apropos.

 

New tires and wheels.

Thanks guys!
Here's a closer shot

 

Finally replaced the bent spindle with a gusseted one. took about 3 hours because I didn't know what I was doing.

 

Installed my rear-view mirror relocate bracket from ImMrYo. Now it's up and out of the way. One of the best 15 minute mods...

 

^^^^

 

Just finished changing spark plugs. Passenger side a breeze but the drivers side is a pain. It's really tight and I have some good knuckle damage to show for it. First plug changing. 43,000 Kms (approx. 27,000 miles). Plugs were in normal wear n' tear shape. They seem to have a bit of a large gap at 0.050 and greater. Replaced with all denso's pre gapped to approx. 0.042 from dealer.

 

Waxed, she looks beautiful

 

Nice.

 

Changed oil & filter. Greased propeller shaft. Looks like a carrier bearing may be in my near future Frame is rusty as hell, but no perforations (dammit)

 

I spent four hours this evening re-wiring the power to four radios inside the truck. Gone is this weird Octopus wire splitter thing I jury rigged together under the drivers seat. Gone are power and coax lines from the kick pane to under the drivers seat. Gone are wires from under the drivers seat to under the center console. And the coax from the back panel to the center console that ran along the carpet is also gone.

I also replaced two pairs of 12awg wires from the battery into the cab, with a single pair of 4awg with a dual power distro block. 100A fuses under the hood on the 4awg. and appropriate fuses at the radio end of each other pair of wires.

Unbent the majority of the damage from my collision - installed new denso ac condenser and radiator, mounted my new (used) lights, and put back on the busted up bumper cover. Eventually I'll get a grill, hood, and bumper cover
