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

How much would i be looking at just for the hood? Would it be easy to do myself?

Grabbing some LEDs?

 

Installed a GM part in my Taco today. Here’s to hoping I don’t burn alive lol!


1amp Diode in place of the 7.5amp fuse on the Alternator sense wire to properly charge my AGM battery

 

4Runner brakes? 4th or 5th gen? You paint the calipers yourself?

You have a part number for that? Is there a thread on here where others have tried it?

 

just a little ...i might have stock in them..... retired Utility plant and Ultra Pure water plant manager..like it clean and neat

No thread on here AFAIK. There is a thread on here about some HKB diode that’s crazy expensive and has to be shipped in from OZ. This one does the same thing. Except it cannot be reset but I don’t ever see this blowing because there’s no actual current being carried, it’s just a sensing wire so no problem going from 7.5A down to 1A. Out of an abundance of caution I bought a spare tho. Immediately raised my idling battery voltage by 0.6V! Perfect!

 

How's that Pedal Commander working for you? I'm contemplating it and so far it seems to review well.

 

Sweet. That's good to know. I'm thinking my next battery will be an AGM or I'll upgrade if I decide to relocate to the bed.

 

Changed my spark plugs today. About 27k on them. Thank you for the great write ups on this site. Always nice to reference before starting a project. Start to finish was about an hour. Gapped to 0.041 and torqued to 15lbs, put Densos in again and she fired right up on the first crank. Plugs came out the box almost dead nuts, was very impressed. Also, having the spark plug magnetic swivel extension is a must.

 

I've never done it myself, but have considered it. It doesn't seem terribly difficult and theres a guy on here that's done it. He has a thread about wrapping his truck and says he never did it either. I want to say Vinyl for a entire wrap is anywhere from 3-600 dollars for the material. Ebay is where I found it and you can buy it in various lengths.

 

I just got a clear pair of these with the work/scene lenses for supplemental reverse lights. How was the install?

 

Is 37,000 the norm? New to 2nd gens. My 1st gen I4 went forever.

 

Do you have a link for the switch holder you installed?

 

easy install, i have a lot of my stuff prewired. i have the work clear setup on the rear rack. put the wide up front to test the throw

 

Toyota says 30,000 miles. You could easily go longer but for $30 why not make sure she runs her best. It really is very simple and the write ups on this site are great.

 

Aye manual says 30,000 but after doing mine every 30,000 so far (@ 91,000 miles now) I think I'm gonna go to 50,000 increments.

 

@docloco sells them
