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

Finally did a very long overdue oil change (last one was done in March last year!) and gave it a wash.

 

AH. Gotcha, my bad. Didn't even notice that it was wrapped.

 

I think you now have the coolest Level 8 center caps on the planet.
Great idea.

 

I drilled a hole in the frame of the bed, then tapped the hole so the bolt would thread in. Then ran the bolt through the pvc with a nut between the bed and pvc. Then tighten up the nut against the bed. Now you have a solid post that the pvc can rotate on. Just got some rubber bump stops that the pvc sits on so I don't rattle in the bed. Works well so far.

 

De-scaled the frame rust and hit 50 posts!

Ya- I can post my tube steps for sale.

 

Annoying rattle in the passenger door when it was opened/closed. Since I'm planning to deaden and insulate (sound) the entire cab as much as possible at some point this summer, I figured I'd just get the dynamat done on this door while I'm at it. Full layer on both panels. Because I'm going to be installing new component speakers soon I left the area right around the speaker alone, that will get done up nicely when they go in. Such a satisfying sound when a fully deadened door is shut for the first time.

 

Early bday present to myself! OME leafs also got extended lines, driveline spacer kit and new bushings. Going to have to wait until Easter to put them on though.

 

Today I acquired a set of Husky WeatherBeater floor mats. They are guaranteed for life! The rugged and sporty WeatherBeater Floor Liners perfectly conform to the contours of my 2007 Tacoma and offer un-beatable carpet protection for whatever nature hurls at me or whomevers kid hurls in them.




Oh yeah, did that Katzkin Mod too.

 

Today was a fun day of mods. I fixed my Aux adapter thanks to the forums. Retired my chrome bully Bar


Thanks to @Matt123 for the BPF Skid Plate (spring sale is going on) and @ACEkraut for his no drill front license plate holder I was able to go to this


Also replaced the shift knob and antenna



Next up is looking into new tires and new rims - I plan on getting the Matte grey TRD OEM wheels - and probably the KO2. I am still TRD Sport OEM suspension might go for level. Haven't decided yet.

 

I've been seduced by 4runner's lately.

But in the last two days I've hauled furniture, plywood, and a big-ass dog crate. I think I'm good.

Did this today: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/lets-see-your-dogs.2844/page-806#post-14863503

 

Looks good! Are these the wheels you like?

 

What's up with the removal of your HVAC control panel?

 

Thanks! Nice Snow shot! And very nice shoes.

I was looking at these


Few of the dealerships in the area have them.

 

I have the Speedout set and it may be one of the most valuable things in the toolbox. Has never let me down.

 

A friend of mine has them on his diesel chevy and he doesn't like them. He said they wander on the highway. He said he would rather have st maxx. He doesn't off road at all so no word on that.

 

Looking good.. I need to do that Katzkin mod too. My radio volume hardley works now. Did you get one with Bluetooth?

 

It's off since I am in the middle of a few other projects. Radio is just resting in there too. I have to wire the seat heaters yet. Have to do all the speakers too and install the leather cards on the door panels.

 

I think your truck looks a lot cleaner without the bull bar. Nice looking truck man.

 

Is your radio the stock one that hardly works? The moment I picked this '07 up, that radio went out the window. I put in the Pioneer AVH-X-5800bhs, it has bluetooth phone and audio.

 

Yep on stock radio.
