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

Too many nights below zero and a 5 year old battery...dead this morning. Quick trip to Autozone

 

That sucks! How often do you need to change the battery?

 

Very nice! How much were the new ones?

 

I paid $225.

 

Not sure, I just did it since I had the door card off. Going to do all 4 doors and back wall of cab, and see if I notice a difference, then maybe do the floor.

 

Thanks, another thing getting added to my to do list. When I bought my taco it had a lock on the spare. I contacted the PO and he said he didn't know it had one because he never got a flat lol.

 

Installed Baja Designs S2 Sport as ditch lights. Wired up to the S-Tech universal, on separate switches, so I can work them independently. Also used

Plate Keeper License Plate and Frame Security Kit for Asian and Some European Vehicles (Metric)

Security Bolts on the sides.

 

I might do that. Thanks

 

Oh I meant on getting rid of the vibration

 

There are 2 x I think 10mm bolts that pinch the glass on regulator bracket. Left one is behind access panel, right one is behind speaker. Not sure if mine were loose, but I got a fairly light 1/4 turn on them, and haven't noticed the window rattle yet, so.

 

Bilstein 5100s, wheelers AAL, and the BFGs.

 

How do you like these headlights? I'm thinking about getting some

 

Try to get yourself some wider, you need as much contact to the floor as the stock foot to keep the floor from denting or caving in from the weight. That was why I went as wide as 1 1/2" . You can get some fender washers to spread the weight out more. JMO

 

I love them. Light output is awesome and my coworkers (6 own 2nd gens) love how they look as well!

 

Got this at work today for when I go out wheeling I can air back up.I tested it on the bed plug and it worked good. After I got home I rigged up a shovel mount.

 

If it works for you you could save both weight and space by ditching the tank and regulator and connecting the coil hose to the end of the braided line. Neither of those is needed for airing up.

 

Hated the seats in my truck, rather then mess with the mounts to get a better picture out the front I added extra dense foam...2 " on the bottom. 1" backer and cut real bolsters from 4"...you can actually fit the seat to you....much like a $$ racing seat..still maintain all the crash stuff etc....finish with some seat covers..been 2 years + a and still great!!

 

will do

 

where did you route the wiring if you dont mind telling me? i want to this same BD s2 sports for ditch lights.

 

I never seem to get more than 5 or so from an OEM Battery but others have had better luck. Iowa sees pretty extreme temp swings.
