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

Also added in the Tech Deck and a midland GMRS radio thanks @ETXTacoma for having an awesome build to follow!

Not yet sure how I’m gonna mount the antenna and wire it up


And lastly weather tech rain guards

 

Holy giant block, Batman!

 

I did a thing.

 

You need a relay. Simple wiring. Google relays and switches

 

Cut myself a new key the other day. No more ignition rattle on the highway.

 

How much lift does it give you, and are you having any vibration issues?

 

I'd heard they were that expensive but also that they weren't sold uninstalled. Mine's a cab high Rebel but I'd like that same driver's side windoor. I can't see well out that side anyway so that's were I want to put a vertical panel fore/aft for smaller tools, cords, square, etc. Stuff with no current fixed home that causes clutter. Good place to put a fire extinguisher and CO2 bottle too.

 

Or peruse tacozord's how to build a bussman rtmr thread, it has everything you need to know about both that switch and both 4 and 5-pin relays. You only need a 4-pin for simple on/off.

 

Windoors for my Leer 100R I found for $275 from a Leer dealer. Most of them wanted $350-475 so call around.

 

Thanks. Fortunately my work takes me around a few north bay counties so more dealers are near my path. Have to wait until I get back what FTB stole.

 

FTB? Must be a Cali thing.

 

Modified, reconditioned and reinstalled my Demello Offroad sliders.

 

I installed the OEM roof rack only to realize when 95% complete, the nut which receives the last bolt (passenger side swing arm/bracket) is missing...UGH.

 

the twin arb compressors have a built in relay with the pressure cutoff switch. all you have to do is run straight power from the main power wires then just wire in to the two smaller wires. the black one goes to ground and i believe the purple goes to the output from your switch.

 

Decided to cut off the last inch and a half of my hi-lift so it’d fit with the bed stiffeners. Fits like a charm now



Also started working on my cb set up. I think instead of grinding off the powder coat on the bed stiffener for a better ground I may run a dedicated wire. What say you guys?

 

Changed the oil, greased up the U joints, and sprayed protectant on the battery terminals.

I used a Toyota filter last oil change, and when I went to remove it, I discovered that the filter wrench I have been using for 20 years on NAPA 1348 does not grip the Toyota filter good enough.

 

Looks good! I’m going to do the same come spring time. Did you go with the 2.75” pack?

 

I don't suppose you'd want to sell me the drivers side drip rail moulding?

 

What size bolts did you use for your channel? I’m gonna fab my own rotopax mount for the bed but I’m not sure what size the channels are.

 

Completely slipped my mind to take before measurements.
But got to about 37 3/4” after the lift was installed. Week later was about 37.5”

I am getting a little hum between 55-65, but not vibes.
Almost sounds like the tire tread on my wildpeaks but never observed the noise before so not sure where it’s originating.
Need to investigate that further.
