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

My Cab Mount is aggressively chopped and beveled, look at the pics again, I guess he did a great job if you didn’t notice.

 

That makes for a fun little day drilling that many holes in the truck. I just went with some stainless steel hex head 1 1/2. Large spacer, for best amount of backside coverage and lock washers. Just count the hole and run to a home improvement store. If you want to a guide just take a bolt off the fender when you go inside

bought a few things from these folks...GREAT SERVICE while I was on line browsing a person came on in a chat box, linked me to what I was looking for..sent me a link to pay (non paypal)..within 5 min of paying got a e mail they were processing the order, followed by 2nd E mail with a tracking number...order delivered this morning...Not often a company offers that kinda service...

 

Thats a leaverite......leaverite there

 

Ah there it is. I guess I was expecting into the mount circle but meh, you aren't running 35 or 7s so you'll be golden. Looks good!

 

Winch installed tonight. (Smittybilt Xrc 9500) Will remotely mount the solenoid under the hood at a later date, it’s the nose for now.

I put the jack in the other day but mounted the base today with the knobs off my bed rails and some home made mounts.

Led reverse bulbs.

New uca bushings in the morning.

Thanks for all the great ideas everyone!!

 

I just changed the pads and re-installed my skid plates.

 

what kind of light is it that you have where the aux is?

 

Got the last of the parts in for my navigation install. Now I need a place to buy wire.
Probably 100 ft. to play it safe. I found multi colored wire but forgot where.
This terminal repair wire looks to be 28 gauge.

 

Very cool. Interested in your write up later.

 

Its a cheapo one I got of of eBay, here is a link to something similar. I am sure they all come from the same place, I just prefer a US seller because I hate waiting on the slow boat. Its held up well for 11 months/17,000 miles. If the trucks on, its on. I've never removed it. I charge elsewhere.

Follow up question: Did your truck come with a USB there, or did you have to add that in? I ask because my 2009 only has the headphone-style jack.

 

The later 2nd Gens come with the USB port to play music off of a thumb drive.....OR......to put a little light in

 

I did mine also but during the day I can see the indicator for shit. I have to turn my running lights on.

 

Polished the headlamps.
Meguiar's PLASTX™CLEAR PLASTIC CLEANER & POLISH,

Ryobi buffing kit https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-Metal-Buffing-Kit-7-Piece-A10BK71/205642376

And a right angle drill.
Vast improvement but could use a little more work.

 

I need to do mine soon. The tops are getting bad on mine

 

Is it normal to rub your cab mount with 265/75r16’s?
After my UCA and 5100/885’s Install I run at full lock. I understand the aftermarket UCA’s bring my tire back a little but I was hoping not to chop until I upgrade to 285.

 

You really shouldn’t be rubbing. I have the same setup minus the UCAs and I don’t rub anywhere

 

Have you gotten an alignment since the install? Lifting changes the geometry. After my 2" lift I have very weird humming but an alignment fixed it.
