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

Got Remote Starter installed yesterday.

 

Do you have the factory one without the clock still?

 

No I don't sorry. I traded that one for the one with the clock

 

No problem you can't have my money's then


Thanks though

 

Can you post more info on your phone holder mount?

 

Vinyl sticker, problem solved. I'll take your money's now haha

 

Of course. I got the holder from here

I made my own bracket to mount the holder to. It's just a simple wide L bracket and I took off the panel around the radio bezel and used nuts and bolts to secure it making sure that the screw heads were behind the edge of the AC control panel. Anymore questions let me know.

 

Does it cover the clock fully?

 

I'm sure you could have one made with a black background and the Tacoma letters on it and just cut to fit. It would definitely be easier than swapping. I would search the forum though. There's a lot of 15 owners that want the clock and all you would have to do is unplug yours and plug the new non clock unit in

 

Check out this thread. You can attempt to trade straight up like I did.

I like that phone charger. Which one is it? Most of them out there are too big/bulky for my taste.


****nevermind. Just had to keep reading!!

 

I'm mainly a fan of it so I can put my phone in and automatic charging. No cables to connect or keep track of.

 

Well it happened today. I cut my bed sides off wits the help of @Squeaky Penguin. The whole install only took about 2.5 hours.

Got the stock bumper and hitch off with no problem.


Then came the cut line. Brute force makes it easy. Just cut the fenders at the same hight as the tail light.


The first fender I took my time, being that I was kind of nervous about it. The second one took about a quarter of the time.

Man that cut looks really high on the truck.

The final install went really easy and fast. Just had to adjust the placement a little and we were fine.




Sorry I didn't get a pic with the tire on there. I had to go get three lug nuts for the spare. But it looks great on the truck. All I have left is to put some fog lights in the bumper and put my rotopax on the swing out.

 

Installed some super bright LED's thanks to DiodeDynamics.

 

Looks good man.

 

Thanks man. Been wait for this day, for about 2 months now. I feel like it cleaned the back of the truck up a lot.

 

how well do they work? I imagine they are badass. How did you do the wiring?

 

Installed a Warn M8000 and Factor55 Expert Flatlink


I ran out of daylight, so you can see the control module is just sat in behind the grille right now. Tomorrow morning I'm going to pick up some longer cables and relocate it to the firewall and plug in the wireless adapter so I can winch in/out without popping the hood, and to keep the controller further away from getting dunked. It is waterproof while the cap is on, but I'd still prefer it not take any more unnecessary abuse than I plan on giving it.

 

They work great I feel sorry for the person who is behind me when I back up. I have them wired into the taillights

 

I installed a raptor style grill, halo headlights, and a carbon fiber hood. Wasn't to hard. Love the look.
