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

Do you have a pic of them not on?? I want to see how they look when they're not on... To see if they look like the white ones they have.

 

Be warned, it's straight from China. Took about a week to come in.

Just hit 60k on my ‘13.

 

Got my X-Bull tracks today. Temporarily mounted them to the bed cleats with some adjustible bungies.

 

Installed an Ultragauge I recently snagged from a member. Wish Toyota would've given Tacoma's a basic on-board computer like the 4Runners have

 

150k on my 2012

 

Color matched and added rigid industry SR-M back up lights to the bumper I got from @skatefreak282 . Color match is almost perfect. Pictures are all pre wax!!!

 

Removed driver front lock actuator and cleaned the little motor (remote unlock/lock hasn’t been working for about a year now on that door) and cleaned it.


Cleaned out a pretty good amount of buildup (on q-tip below) and reassembled.


Also installed a EZ-Down for my tailgate. Works okay, but may take time before it starts to get a little less clunky.

 

Had a lesson on replacing spark plugs with the girlfriend. Oil change lesson is tomorrow.

Also planning on doing one of the AC Dog Platforms this weekend..

Oh, I also bought a locking fuel cap that should arrive on Monday.

 

How do you like it so far? I was thinking about getting one of the wireless ones for mine and the girlfriend's car. It would be handy for engine codes and the like since she drives a 2003 Honda that I know nothing about and I'd just like it because I had a BullyDog on my old Jeep and it was super handy to have...

 

Today I picked up my tonneau cover, spline lug nuts, new scented cabin filter and fog light kit for my SR5. Can't wait to install them all.

 

Did you paint it yourself? Was the bumper chrome and black primed before?

 

Installed the

$160 midland mxt275 micromobile® GMRS radio – 15 watts two-way radio with integrated control microphone – overland caravanning tractors – detachable external magnetic mount antenna - 8 repeater channels

midland mxt275 , under the drivers seat ran microphone jack thru center console behind dashboard hook up to a UHF socket RJ45 Switch for a clean and factory look

 

That's nice!!! Good work

 

Thanks Chad , much appreciated

 

where did you get yours

 

I'm liking it, especially since it was only $40. Still messing around with the various gauges, but real-time MPGs is making me drive more conservatively already lol.

 

Found it here on TW in the 2nd gen classifieds.

 

Picked up a used drive shaft for my Taco at tacojimms in Denver they have a Dakar leaf pack and one springs on a tundra but can for modified tacos. Saved myself a lot by checking myself they did they didn’t have one in stock

 

Super edit: @tacoma16 helped me design, build and wire this all. without him it would not be possible. If you have any questions about how ask either of us, but you'll get the right answer from him.
The Before
