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

Dont tell him that hell steal my threme!

 

I used vinegar & baking soda. The right one was still foggy so i did white toothpaste then i turtle waxed it... probably won't last forever but was a huge improvement.
There's also a "right way" that's still el cheapo (link below) But I didn't have that stuff laying around... I might do it in the future though.

(I like this guy, Chris Fix)

 

Stock battery hold down never fit my tall group 27 battery. Got this anodized aluminum hold down on Amazon for $15. Had to notch it out a little, too wide between caps. But it holds my battery a lot better without bowing down the back side like the stock one did.

 

Ok so other week I posted bout my new ac knobs & I was missing the 4th. GOT IT! He replied nxt morning saying he will ship it & that he never heard of this... everything fits beautifully!

 

Cool they added a 4th. They usually just sell the 3 pack for AC knobs.

 

Curious if that lights up now?

 

I originally bought what said was 4pk & he shipped 3pk so I told him & shipped 4th free of charge. He said he'd like to see that cuz he never heard of it before. Sent him same pic just before posting here

 

When i bought the truck i noticed this would fit really well here...

And yesterday i did this because i saw it on here (TW) and i already had one, just had to buy velcro. (Which i used the 10lb rated marine stuff from academy sports)... it pulls the lid down becauseof that's on it though...

 

Do you get any light coming through 4wd switch?

 

Not yet gotta do the hilux 4x4 switch mod for that to work... that, intermittent wiper, rear breather mod & locking bed storage doors are nxt on my list

 

I'd be curious about a rust free lock for those little storage areas... I've read a lot but haven't found something i thought would last...

 

Wouldnt let me add the 4wd option, but was 23 to 25k

 

I have one from Amazon also.
Just put it in a few weeks ago.
Wondering how it’s gonna stand up to the weather.

Gotta tidy up the wires.
Got a few more things to add also.

 

Installed a brake controller today.

 

Getting a couple cans this weekend. The chrome looks terrible esp on that box which was very deceiving in the picture guy made we wait 2 hrs and I still bought this pos .it was cheep so I’ll paint it matte black and eventually upgrade to something that weighs more then 10 pounds . Thanks man

 

What a difference! Unfortunately the front tires rub the UCA’s, we’re waiting for the Spidertrax spacers to come in tomorrow.



A little preview of what’s to come in the next few weeks.


Spring cleaning.

 

It should be totaled off of that price but I don't know how much 4wd will affect the price. Depending on the state it goes of the percentage of the cost of the vehicle meaning if it takes more than 70% of the overall value of the car to fix it insurance companies consider them totaled. The percentage goes off of where you're from and that states laws once you find that out you can either do the math yourself or wait until the insurance company gets back to you.
