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

Drive the rental Ford Transit Van (2-wheel drive and loaded with college athletes) back from Indianapolis through the heart of the latest winter storm.


Wish I had my truck the entire time...

 

Oil changed, gave her a bath, interior cleaned. Time so smoke some wings and watch some football!

 

Well he is doomed for sure.

 

I’m just hoping he doesn’t make a video of that. I don’t care to see him get hurt

 

I'm gonna miss him.

Guess I should remove my factory grab handles for safety.

 

I cut the dash. Not sure if that was right or wrong. Took me 2 times as I cut very little both times and when it slide in it was a tight fit. I have not touched it since other then flipping the switch.

 

Anyone know if the subaru kicker tweeters that are plug and play in the 3rd gen tacoma’s work on 2nd gens?

 

I cleaned all the snow and ice off of it

 

I used to keep a fire extinguisher behind the rear driver seat...



But now I have it in front of the driver's seat...



I did this because I now keep the rear seats folded down and the extinguisher rattles like crazy back there. With the seats up it's silent. However, I now need to cut the WeatherTech floor liner/mat thing because it doesn't fit quite right anymore.

 

Hello Arizona. Drove on some red clay and avg 17.4 MPG at 75 MPH with over 1800 lbs of added weight!

 

Fucked with the alignment cams a little more. All 4 are frozen.

I ordered 2 new control arms so far. And I’m pricing out new cam hardware at the moment.

 

Finally installed my flush mount lights, have procrastinated this since Thanksgiving. Now I can deal with people who don't turn their high beams off when I'm infront of them, happens atleast once a week.

One downfall to the cali raised flush mounts is the harness is way too short and they dont offer an extension. So I made 2 15 foot extension, 15 feet was about right for the passenger side light, probably could have gone with a 12 or 13 foot harness for the drivers side. It all worked out tho, still need to get different switches but Ill deal with that later. Ill get some night pictures later when its dark.

I can’t remember the thread, but I was recently told they will NOT fit in a 2nd gen.

 

Thanks for the link. This was my intentions but they are beyond the point of saving.

 

But when you get the new ones....

 

Side curtain airbags became standard in 2009. They were an option on double cabs in 2008. I couldn't find information for older model years.

 

No you're right, ill probably do a light bar in the lower grill and ditch lights at some point

Mounted my new @JDEMELLO bumper purchased thru the awesome folks at @state48overland. I’m ready for my next drug deal gone bad.



Kidding Portland PD, different MGM Tacoma!
