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

yes!
and I have some some flush mounted ones coming for the rear.

 

Not today, but recently I put a grey Dashmat on my black dash. I was noticing the vent temps climbed rapidly when the truck was parked in the sun, and even when I stopped at a light. I'm in HVAC/R and always have a spare digi thermometer riding in the vent. My informal observations showed a good 10F drop in vent temps when my truck was started back up. The cab cooled down a lot faster because of this.

I'm glad this worked, coz that Dashmat is fugly!

 

Added some custom made fishing rod holders.

 

Sirius led I got them with the bumper.There is a lot of choices on Amazon and other sites I got some cheaper ones for the back.Different qualities and prices ...

 

Not too shabby. Did you use a heat gun to flare out the end of the PVC like that?

 

I assume that's for short trips between fishing holes only? Not sure I'd want my gear so exposed at highway speeds lol

 

I don't actually have a heat gun, so I improvised with a long grill lighter.

 

The poles are bungeed in so that's not an issue.

 

Real nice. Can you show the details of the attachment / hardware?

^^^. I got all my ideas from that thread, and I just improved upon the design a little bit. I've considered making them and selling them to TW members. Think there would be a sufficient interest?

 

I know one way to find out

 

Give it a shot! I would be more into making my own though

 

I need to figure supplies and costs. I just put that together with scraps I had in my garage. Give me a few weeks and I'll post for it specifically. I'm leaving the country next week for a month and I'll have some down time to work on it.

 

I think you could actually do pretty good if you offered a number of different holders, not just the fishing rods. I think BensonX is doing something similar but as long as what you made was not a copy of his design then everyone likes having different options.

 

That shouldn't be an issue being I have no idea who that is or have even seen his idea.

 

Look familiar?

 

I have some hood hinge light mounts I bought from famous fabrication, you can search for them here

 

looks yes

 

Got a couple 4" led pods. Should be in early next week
