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

Wow, those lights are sick!

 

Where do you get them?

 

Did the exhaust blower filter mod today and the Redline Tuning Hood Struts last week. Went to installed Panel with the circuit breaker and the Bussman relay panel but it seems to conflict with the master cylinder unless I am doing something way wrong.

And..... no more mods for a while. I took my Corolla Tuner out for its annual State Inspection and I found out I need a new exhaust system - including the cat. So that is going to set me back $900.

 

I build them

 

Nice job, looks great

 

Got rid of that Damn glare

 

Solar install with fridge and CTEK charger

Just got done with my 65 Whynter fridge install. I only went with Whynter because I got a discount on a 65qt at the distributor. $250 for a new dented fridge that was posted on Los Angeles Craigslist.

Anyway, I went with the CTEK 250S DUAL to manage my 2 batteries and solar panel. The CTEK charges the aux battery all the time via solar and will sometimes charge the start battery when it decides to. Still trying to figure out how/when it decides to do that. Fridge runs off of the battery after the sun goes down.

I used the Off-Grid Engineering battery tray for my aux battery. Its a quality product and everything lined up perfectly for a quick install.

Power is then routed to a Blue Sea sub panel under the backseat.

For the Fridge switching I used a CH4x4 button on the center console with a relay next to the sub panel. Easy install because the wires were all there for the seat heater that I don't have.

Solar panel is from Grape solar 180w from Home Depot. $200 delivered with a 10% discount.

I made a sliding tray out of some scrap sliders and some aluminum angle.

Everything is working great and I have been running the unit 24hrs a day for the past few days as a test.

 

Yea they're matte gunmetal

Visiting the parents in southern Iowa for the weekend, did a little gravel traveling by an old fishing spot.

That is some nice engineering sir!

 

Finished my De-Badging, even showed her yesterday at Friday Night Thunder in Somerset. Rain today, though, so Somernites looks like a washout...

 

Did the secondary air filter mod, installed the Harbor Freight version of the bed support mod and hit a mile stone.

 

cant stand the team but thats a cool idea for a sticker.

 

Thanks for the support so far guys! Have a great weekend!

Got the boat out of storage, wasn't disappointed by the new Dakar leaf pack!

Also hit a milestone with the truck today.

 

I did install them. It's not hard. I also did them on my 2015, but on that truck the front seats posed two challenges. 1. Getting the headrests out 2. Realizing the new leather has to go over the cloth on the front headrests.

 

Bought a bottle of 3M rubbing compound to get rid of the racing stripe someone left on my truck yesterday. It's a light rub on the front bumper, not terrible but someone still touched her in an inappropriate manner!

 

Dang it dude, baby came home with a stipe on her Rav4 last week.

Almost went ballistic, but it buffed out lol.

Good luck!

 

Thanks man I'll try to post before and after pics!
