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

Installed a gift from Santa...

 

You're the guy with the 3D printed grille right? It looks awesome. And now lifted with those tires really makes the whole truck look super bad ass.

 

Yup. I have my forward facing seat behind me so that I can have more leg room. And my rear facing seat behind the passenger. Middle seat would need to use the seat belt. It would probably be possible to use the latch system in the middle of you only had one car seat. But the straps on the latches would need to be pretty long to reach both sides where it attaches.

 

Got a few inches of snow last night so I played around with 4-Lo and rear locker. I definitely need to use it more because it doesn't work right away.

 

Yeah you have to drive forward or backwards while turning the wheel to get the locker to line up with the gears

 

Nothing too fancy, but I got a retro TOYOTA sticker for the tailgate. And recently traded my blue ribbon canopy to someone for a silver one.

 

Are they actually 33's or metric version? I want to run 33's on mine. What lift you go with? I am doing research on that too.

 

Bought and added an Air Dock 2.0 phone charger after looking at good reviews about it. Best thing since sliced bread: phone stick to it with nano suction foam and it charge wireless with Qi technology. No more plugging, unplugging and locking, unlocking the phone in the cradle. You put it there, it stay here and charge.

 

More Details on this, with some action shots!

Can you post a link to where I can find this? Haven't been able to find it on Amazon. Thanks.

 

Here's the manufacturer site: http://www.theairdock.com/ I think it's only sold here. Not cheap (around $100), but fully worth it if you get in and out of your car frequently (of course your phone need to be Qi capable).

Instead of action shots, I shoot a short vid: http://vid984.photobucket.com/albums/ae327/saumon4/20151229_131652.mp4

 

Nice vid! thanks for the link

So i have Amazon looking into exchange where the mat was bought. I still haven't heard from local Toyo, dealer. So I contacted Toyo customer service and explained situation. She came back after calling the local parts Mgr. He said he was very was pissed I called headquarters that I didn't buy truck from them ( They didn't have what I wanted & they do NOT deal, I've tried them 2 times before for both previous FJ's) nor had it serviced there. He told Toyo's customer service " He's done W/me & he would never deal with me again" because I called Headquarters!! Nice customer service Bob!!! She told me she didn't say anything to set him off he did that on his own. I was polite & told him thank you for trying and shook his hand yesterday .He said it was opened. Yea I opened the PLASTIC it was shipped in NO Box had UPS labe on it to find out it was 1' short & re-wrapped it. I told Toyo this is my 3rd vehicle in 7yrs over $90+k in them plus accessories. I trade my vehicles in when they get close to 100k mi. I take a hit for mi BUT I don't want to be doing other than routine maintenance . I do alot of Hiway commute It has been given a case # for higher ups to review!?!? I just wanted an exchange W/out all the drama of shipping back & forth. Not trying to piss anyone off just want bed mat and if he WOULD'VE called and said he can't do it I would've been fine just that he didn't call pissed me off!!! Semi Rant over

on lighter note ordered another Batt Tender Jr. & 3 of these in case I bust one trimming & the 3rd on gave me free shipping

Higuchi JC 5037 - 35 Watt Bi-Pin Halogen Light Bulb, GY6.35 Base, 12 Volts
Per manual only need to remove top & bottom 10mm bolts, I guess like the FJ's ?

 

Groupon has a similar one for $8 right now. can't vouch for the quality since i don't own one.
