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

ready for tomorrow

 

Yes, I have a cover on the secondary air pump.



I had to remove it for the Uni Filter install. Re-installed and was happy to see it fits with the new filter.

 

Got this today!

 

Mirror riser mod today. Nice open view now.

 

Installed Kings front and rear with TC UCAs. Rear lift is the OME El095r Dakar’s with the larger overload removed. Crown extended braided brake lines front and rear and topped it off with Icon Rebounds wrapped in Falken Wildpeak 265 70 17. Took me a day and a half did front and brake lines by myself with help from a buddy for the rear install. Saved a ton vs going to a shop and learned a lot along with a lot of swearing lol. YouTube and of course Tacomaworld helped a ton.

 

A few more pics of my ongoing oba saga. Last night I installed the input line from the cab wall to the console and re routed the passenger side air bag line also to the console. Here's where the input line is attched to the 1/4" barb qd, just above is the grommet for the air bag line. Pic of AC w/ passenger side jump seat removed

Here's a pic of the romex I used to fish the input line under the passenger seat to the console along with a pull string for the air bag line.

The oem carpet is stapled to a channel that runs alongside the stock wire harness loom so I ran both lines in that channel. From the channel back to the cab wall they are in 3/8 split loom and from the back end of the channel to the console they are in expanding woven loom held in place with adhesive lined heat shrink. This last pic shows both in the console where the blue input line gets connected to the manifold solenoid and the black goes to its output solenoid. For now, both sides will just be filled through the Schrader valves that came with the air bags.
Stay tuned for the next unexciting eposode.

 

Dang that’s looks awesome. I think that’s the route I’m gonna go! How was assembly?

 

Wonder if that will fit on my 2tr fe pump. Next time I am at junk yard.......

 

I don't understand what you trying to do? Make air available in the cab? I have on board air with 2 gallon tank, just plumbed it in line with arb pump.

 

How’s the output in those FRXs overstock? They look sick btw.

 

What?
Carbon looks good on anything!

 

Thanks. Here’s a pic when I aimed them, it wasn’t really dark out yet. They’re unreal at night. It’s not even fair to compare them to stock.

 

Swapped all of my interior lights to VLEDs

 

Thank you @270wsm

 

Looks good i like that

 

Boy does that look like fun right there!

 

I'm not impressed with the oba controls offered as kits so I'm making my own set up. I've nothing against a good kit and will buy one if I like it. The air isnt for the cab, that's where the controls are. I could have shortened the air lines by putting the solenoids closer to the air bags but prefer the console for its better access/serviceabilty and keeping electronics dry. Also, bringing the manifold there allows the pressure switch and relay to be there as well with only the 10awg lines going to the compressor. Several pages back I posted the control panel I made that fits the cubby in front of the stick, similar to Iggy's which is where I got the idea. Using the dead space under the console to both centralize the system and provide easier access than anyplace under the truck appeals to me. For now it only will supply air to the ride rites and sliders but it's a simple add on to get a pressurized water tank as well.

 

Changed the rear + front diff, transfer case, and engine oil
Got my ARB Twin Compressor hooked up to power and the sPod
Greased my drive shaft ujoints and UCA/LCA bushings
Rreinstalled my skids and ready to hit the trail tomorrow

 

The wife leans across the couch and says..... what about trading the Tacoma in for a Tundra, would give us more room with the car seat. What do I do?

 

Do you wheel or not?

If you wheel keep the Tacoma.
If not go with the extra room of the Tundra.

I have two kids and am keeping the Tacoma. Also can't park a Tundra in the condos garage.
