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

I purchased mine from here

but I also found it here

EAG Replacement Upper ABS Grille Front Grill with Amber LED Lights - Matte Black Fit for 12-15 Tacoma

https://www.amazon.com/EAG-Toyota-T...34019025&sr=8-8&keywords=EAG+2012-2015+tacoma

 

I am extremely happy with all the above... direct replacement, fits like a glove, thick "OEM" quality ABS plastic and the amber LEDs are quite bright and match the marker and DRLs nicely

 

Did a couple things. @mesojdm red led dome light & Shrockworks sliders.

 

Must have link!

 

Made a carpeted wall cover for the back of a reg cab for another member



And then vacuumed and cleaned up the wiring behind the seat in my truck. Also, installed new mounting hardware for my wall cover.

Had a buddy do a 3/4 wrap on my hood. It turned out great. Anthony @ Tailored Auto Styling did a great job.

Looks good!

 

A couple pieces I picked up on Amazon welded together and a wheel spacer. I put a few pictures below.

Just ran some errands with it. It feels great in the hand. I can tell much thought went into the ergos.

 

Nice setup. I may copy off you in the long run... damn I love this!

 

Put these 4runner trails wheels and coopers on.

 

Whoops quoted in your post lol
Can you post a pic with the tire up?
Thanks
Dan

 

That looks great!

 

How’s that gonna work with that curtain airbag right there??

 

Changed the oil in the rear diff today at 33.1k



15/16s socket and had to use an adapter because I don't have a .5" ratchet (could have used one with a longer handle too, I need to upgrade tools)

Remove fill plug
​

Pulled drain plug and let it drain until no drips would come out (about 20 minutes)

Meanwhile I cleaned the drain plug. The fluid didn't look dirty at all but the plug was collecting some crud.



Put the drain plug back in and started to fill with 2.5 qts of the favorite.




Put the fill plug in and gave everything I touched a quick wipe.
Took her for an easy ride around the block. Came home and everythings bone dry and the truck feels good.

I made some Rotopax mounts to go directly to my bedrails and to eliminate as much bracket stacking as possible. The Rotopaxs sit flush with the bed side and the weight is taken by the fender well.

ETA: disregard the poor machining finish, I'm using dull tools and whatever REM material I had on the stock rack which was unfortunately undersize. If these work as intended I'll remake them with more attention to detail and will have them anodized. These are proof of concept.

 

That's what I wanna do. Have a setup that way I wanna setup a staorage/gas tank roto pax set up atop my tool box.

 

if you click on the link you can read the explanation about how the curtain airbag actually sits below it and deploys straight down. it doesnt affect the side airbags in any way. still fully functional. wouldnt have done it if it wasnt

 

My family is growing and I don't want to get a bigger truck, therefore I have to get creative in how to carry more and more crap. It's very refreshing to go camping sans family and only take a cooler and a bivy. That being said, the wife and kids aren't down with minimalism lol.
