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

I 'll go with the cmka12 I think it's called.from arb. And I'm gonna mount under the hood someplace near the air box. Not sure yet exactly

 

Just changed eng. oil & filter @ 4955mi. WAY easier then my 2012 FJ, they put the oil filter back where it was on my 2008 FJ. No skid pan to get to the plastic bowl on the 2012 filter or to get to drain plug.

Everyone has made a big fuss about getting it off, it wasn't bad once I removed the bracing for the front core support

 

TRD exhaust added today.

 

I have an extra on that i would sell it is nib and i would also fab up the aluminum bracket i made to mount it if you buy it i paid 290 so i would do 290 with the mounting bracket and that would be shipped anywhere in the lower 48

 

You must be drunk. hahahah. (I'm getting there) Ima start with a fresh one for the same price I would buy this used, potentially beat, one.

 

Man. I must be drunk. Nib... New in box? With a mounting plate... Hmmm. Please excuse my state.

 

NIB =/= used? I'm also getting there.

 

I'm glad we're all in the same state.

 

I think they may have changed it for the 2015's? see pics - there is a breather mounted in the top of the stock shifter assembly, and the gasket has a "tunnel" to ensure the breather bottom side is open to the trans. Looked to me like that is now where they installed the transmission breather, possibly to get it a bit higher up. I didn't like the idea of taking the stock breather off without putting in something in its place, hence the mod to the Hurst lid.

 

Wow! That's a good reason to mod the hurst.

My 2011 has the breather in a different location, definitely not on the shifter.

 

Swapped out the old blown out wheel bearings for some freshies. Now my truck rolls smooth again.

 

Just installed the codable pop and lock tail gate handle. But now I'm kicking myself in the ass because I didn't know they had a kit you could tie into your oem handle that locks it for you with your doors. A little more money but I would have paid the extra coin for it!

 

Nice... Thanks for the info... Wired direct to battery, or run it to an aux fuse panel?

 

Had a flat fixed and started scrubbing rubber off the side of my rear fender.

 

Just wrapped this up last night -

$310 ARB CKMA12 On-Board Air Compressor High Performance 12 Volt for Air Locker Differentials and Tire Inflation

ARB CKMA12 OBA system!

I ran hose for 2 quick connects - one in the front and one in the rear. You can access all 4 tires with the fill up hose that I have from either the front OR the rear, but this way you should have access to at least 1 of the positions at the time you need air!

Mounting Location:



Tough to see, but in the top right of the picture you can see the air splitter and set up I have:



Front Quick Connect (Follow the front valence line down and you can see it):



Rear Quick Connect (red hose w/ brass fitting):



Just waiting on some dust caps now to keep the debris out and should be in good shape!

 

How well do they do for airing up tires? I've been thinking about getting OBA with a tank to have OBA and my air horns run on the same compressor/tank.

 

Work pretty quick. I havent gone from flat to aired, but from about 24psi to 36psi took about a minute or two

 

Installed a quickfist mount on the front seat for my new light. We started carrying these at work and I get them at cost...which is $24!



Not bad for 4 AA batteries!


Then added more tiedown rings to my L-track rails. Found a company selling them cheap and worked out to $3.20 a clip after shipping.

 

TRD shift knob added.
