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

does it get any reception?

 

I need to check lol, I use the XM, and stream my music via Bluetooth. Just wanted something low profile. My last one walked off.

 

Adorable.

 

Hey @Crom I looked how you did yours and went from there

 

I have been looking at a shorter antenna, however, I don't have xm or anything so it's either radio or cd for me I need decent reception

 

looks good! great way to make space!

 

Better not go shorter then. Unless you live in Manhattan or LA.

 

The 15" antena X off road antena worked decent that I've had on there.

 

Thanks Jimi I'll have to check that out.

 

I'm sure it's possible but you will probably still need to fab some stuff. Why not just do it yourself? Nothing complicated or magical about it. Take a look here https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...gen-tacoma-today.6499/page-4318#post-12273137 post 86347. You need to use a double pole double throw switch, any dpdt switch will work. A window regulator is a regulator. Most anyone will work. They wind the cable one way (letting it out the other) then when you push your switch the opposite direction they reverse direction for cable in/out. Depending on your choice of regulator and its placement you may need longer cables. I used a cheap regulator, then recabled it using bicycle derailler cables and cable housing. the only other things you need will be some stops for the ends of the housing, perhaps some way to tension your cables (tension is absolutely needed) and a method of attaching to your window. BenWa's fab drawing for his bracket to attach to the window is online and easy enough for a local machine shop/fab shop to make up. If you choose to go that way and want some info pm me.

 

Are those the SDHQ hood brackets? If so what's your impression of them?

 

Yes they are. They're stout and I like them. They have a slight angle to the light mounting surface area, but I'm ok with it. Thanks.

 

Hi, I'm a noob here. I turned my TJ into a DCLB '05 Sport...

Replaced the headlights...


Just when I thought I was out of the car/truck game I'm pulled back in...

 

How are you liking The S2's? Do they put out as much light as you thought? I was thinking about getting a set of S2 flush mounts and put them on the outside horizontal sections of my Allpro bumper.

 

I don't think you'll be disappointed. These are spot's and through a lot light out. Even with the Amber Rock Guards they're awesome. This picture is without the rock Guards and not quite dark out. I need to take more pictures. Thanks.

I have the TRD carbon fiber stubby and it works good and it was I think $20 somthin

 

the one I ordered came with the pigtail in the same little box and a little wiring diagram

 

What are you powering with that beast? I built this thing a while back with 2-10's but they rattle the crap out of the plastic seat backs so I'm going to have to take them off and just go with the exposed foam (not like anyone is going to see it).
