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

yeah the website is ************** the main focus of their products are dual battery systems for toyotas, but They offer a lot more as well. like i said before if you're interested in the power panel you can either email Matt through the website or shoot @HeliMedic a PM, because i don't believe their going to put them up on the site due to there being so many different combinations you can run.

 

Good info, I didn't know he technical side but I was trying to think of an idea to seal it up...

 

I had a set on an old f150. They were fabulous in snow. I lived down a hilly, twisty one lane road and I got in and out in over a foot of snow without ever even having to hit any of it twice. They a great tires.

 

Link to the wiring please

Note that, in the end, I found THIS to be the best way to wire the new switch.


As shown, I tapped pin 6 to pin 3, and pin 5 which requires a +12V source, to the ACC fuse panel on the driver side using the add-a-circuit fuse tap.

 

Removed low budget Cobra ULTRA III CB....Installed Cobra 25 XLT Classic CB! Moved antenna rearward away from cab. Tuned SWR @ new antenna location. Previous best range of reception/transmission was around 3 miles. Was talking with a truck driver last night that was 23 miles away.

Win!

The brakes were on sale for $150 + $31 shipping from Autoanything.com. If you're a prime member get the same thing from Amazon.

 

Why does your switch have a pic of a jeep on it?

@ChadsPride

 

Was doing some cleaning under the good then noticed that the headlights are brighter across the top than the bottom. Is this normal? The lense is clean. This looks the same in the daytime, from close up or further away. Could be my failing memory but i always thought the brightness was even throughout.

 

Should be pretty even if you halogens in there.

 

City horns installed. Hopefully my new air tank and compressor will be here tomorrow to hook up the air horns again.

 

Well first "mod" or add on to the truck rims leveling kit and muds to come one within the next month or so
