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

Oh that's not bad at all. I'll have to remember that if I manage to fuck up when I paint my surround. I assumed they were more expensive.

 

Reused and Installed the rear bed dee-ring tie downs on the cubby mounts. These will primarily be used to keep my Cooler strapped down. In the future I might order the smaller ones from the bottom of the page in products discussed.

 

Swamp cooler is all set up

 

They are Ikea. I bought the Full Size which is a perfect fit. The narrowest opening by your tailgate is 53" and that is what these are. Here is the link : http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/bedroom/24827/

 

Not installed yet but about to begin the painting process on my Pelfreybilt"Standard Rear"bumper.

 

Beauteous!

 

Yeah the factory Toyota part is like 160 I believe not painted and around 250 painted. But I figured if i got cut out the middle and choo it up for the raptor mod I might as well do an aftermarket and paint it myself. No one is really gonna notice the difference and since it's not just a street queen I don't mind the aftermarket part. I'll post pics with them side by side to show any differences in quality. And before and after pics. I'll let ya know if it's worth the 35 bucks or worth dropping the extra $$$$ for a true Toyota part.

 

Redneck AC?

 

Yep

 

Details?
How did you build it?

 

1) 28 qt cooler
1) 2" pvc elbow
1) toggle switch
1) 12v plug
1) attwood 3000 serries blower motor
I cut out the two cup holders one for the blower motor one for the pvc. hooked up a toggle switch ran about 20' feet of wire for power supply. I ran the wire 20' so i can plug it into the bed of my truck and put the cooler into the RTT.

 

Any idea's on cooling run time? Would it keep a camper shell setup cool for a full night before "recharging" with more ice? (Camping season in FLA may be getting extended! )

 

Reallocate payments to mods.

 

Hosed her off!

 

No idea on how long hopefully 6-8 hours there is no recharging required it has power from the truck battery.

 

Is the fan pushing air into the cooler or pulling air out?

 

5W-30? Crap, I've been using the wrong oil in my fuse box. No wonder the electrical is all funky.

Loving that clean and detailed engine. Surprised that you haven't started replacing hoses with braided steel & AN fittings.

I made a new bed partition using a 1x10 common board, a 2x4, deck screws, caulk, zip ties, and black spray paint. It looks okay and should work great.

 

pushing air into but you could reverse it

 

You have the 2.7, so you need to use 0w20 or 5w20 in your fuse box. The 4.0 uses 5w30.
