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

I have been happy with the factory unit so far. I seem to always want it louder though. It seems clear and sounds pretty good but perhaps a speaker upgrade would be nice. The stereo is about the only thing I haven’t molested so far.

 

They are like that around my hood as well, especially the 4x4 guys cause I own a sport. I still wave I don't care

 

I have had my Caliraised side shooters for about a year and a half and amber pods almost a year. No problems with either. Caliraised is slooooow on shipping at times and communication not always great but I like the products. Getting ready to order a pair of flushmounts and a single pod for the rear for when the new bumper comes in. Mine have never fogged and the finish is still great even with all the salt we get. The light output compared to the Amazon pods I had of the same wattage is much greater also.

 

Mine is a 4wd sport. I still wave a lot of the time I guess it’s a leftover from my Jeep days. I’ll even talk to folks I see with a Tacoma when I’m out. Some look at me like I’m nuts LIGAF others enjoy talking about their trucks. Not many others around me like to do much with their trucks unless I drive an hour or so away.

 

O well, I love my truck

 

Yes Sir it should always put a smile on your face screw what others think

 

Installed Headlights, Tail Lights, TRD Grille, TRD Short Shifter, and a Core Shifter black knob.

 

Completed my 5th pan drain and refill yesterday . The past 4 times I used Toyota ws. I decided to finally use valvoline max life after much research. I took a 60 mile trip today and noted no changes at all. Looks like a found a new fluid to start using!!

Also did a pan drain on my wife’s pilot. Still used the oem dw-1 though. As sissy as the Honda trans are I still haven’t fully talked myself into using the max life just yet.

 

Picked up some new locks and connected my old bike chain to the total chaos fab bed stiffener so I can lock down my new Orca cooler.

 

I feel your pain.

I went to redo my alignment in preparation for the 285s that are going on the truck. Looking to slide the lower control arms as far forward as possible to make more room at the back side of the fender and tire. Went to adjust the first one. Frozen.

Spent the last few hours pricing out control arms and alignment cam parts.

I need to dig into the truck more tomorrow to see what parts I can salvage vs what needs replaced.

 

Good to know! Looking forward to getting them in and installed

 

Well I can hook ya up with the seat mod. it won't begin to dent ya pocket book but its a great mod. Roof rack, front bumper. That will change the looks. Nice seat covers will make it feel nice. Thats all I got.

 

Send it to me ?? I need some new fox shocks, new wheels, bumpers, maybe a prisnu, some retrofits? New grille? Some PPf wrap? Decal upgrade, interior bits? Sound system?

 

It was to cold in Alaska to do anything

 

​

Damn..here I am complaining when it's high 40's \ low 50's.

 

Dont need it to be that cold, but I wish yall would share the cold. We need less rain and more now. Though the rain is washing away some of the homeless camps that are trashing the river.

 

around -30F to -40F in this part of canada this weekend.....

 

Decided to and go HC!

 

I spent much of last night scouring the internet and looking over my diagrams to make sure I didn't forget any connections for my radio.
I'll have to wait a little bit because some of the connectors I ordered are on back order.

I did take apart the XM antenna so I can cut/modify the base to bolt it to the GPS antenna bracket. I hope to have both antennas in the same location behind the dashboard.
