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

Yeah, I took a bunch. I'll put them up soon.

 

Just diabled my TPMS light

 

debadged my truck, did the foglight mod, and put trd hood scoop stickers on my tacoma-thanks to sockmonkey!

 

Black wheels

 

wow that looks nice on silver!

 

Awsome!!! Did you just paint your polished wheels? looks good man! way better!

 

Oh.. And I add some Lucas fuel injector cleaner and then cleaned my MAF and sprayed some TB Cleaner into my IAC valve hoping to clean it some what. If this stuff doesnt help my Issue. I wil be taking off my IAC and cleaning it totally.

Im ganna go get it washed and all cleaned up. Its been awhile and its filthy!

 

Nothing. The Taco sat in garage all day while I ran the weed eater.

 

made my own leaf spring clamps. clamped the overload to the rest of the leafpack. useing 1/2'' steel,4.5'' grade 5 bolts and cut up an old floor mat to put between the steel and the leafs to prevent squeeking. didnt take any pics but it looks like the ones that ywen put on his truck. i have to say it gives a nicer firmer ride and seemed to get rid of what little axle wrap i had left.

 

DaS a PyMp GriylLL yOe!


got my kicker L5 installed yesterday

 

Horn Mod!

Went to the JY last weekend and picked up a set of horns from a Caddy. My intent was to add them to the Tacoma for a more robust sound.

I needed to flatten out the locking tab on each horn.



Mounted one horn on the passengers side outside the radiator mount.



Mounted the other horn on the drivers side inside the radiator mount. Both horns went into pre drilled holes .



Ran the ground back to the fender ground lug. My ground has the yellow insulator on the ring.



I knew that at about 2.7 amps per horn the 10amp fuse would not hold the power requirement and I was correct. I went to a 15amp fuse and so far no problems. It will be pretty easy to add a separate fused relay for the new horns and should only take about 20 minutes to do so.

The sound is really nice . Not a lot louder but a deeper fuller and rich sound. Not your typical Toyota horn. LOL.

This is a very quick and easy mod. I only had to spend money on some more wire loom. I am guessing the horns cost less than $5 so my total cost was under $10.

 

Cleaned the throttle body & took pics to post in a how to.

Also cleaned my K& N air filter. Truck has much better get up & go!

 

Took it for a trail ride, curb dumped the exhuast and then washed it.

 

Got underneath, sanded a couple areas and hit 'em with the rattle can. Mainly just some surface rust starting on the leaf spring brackets.

 

Finally got up the nerve to try the Satoshi grill , started yesterday , finished today , turned out good. Just ordered my TRD emblem on ebay for the grill.

 

Really??? thats a long time!

my OEM one is about 2 years old (maybe a little longer) and about to go out...

maybe its because im running two 500w amps

 

Debadged.
