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

Looks good

 

Thanks man, she is something special.

 

I'll get a review/install vid out for their dash set soon too.

 

Curious as to how this works? were you having charging issues/lo voltage b4 etc...

 

I have had one for a year or so....it does most of what the claims are...to be honest the only time I use it is off road.....in my opinion in that respect it is great..in the ecno mode I can get small throttle response stretched out over a large portion of pedal movement which gives great crawl control.......

 

No it was working as designed for the stock wet cell battery but I switched to a AGM because of winch and off-roading so needed higher charge voltage.

The diode instead of the fuse makes the truck think there’s a voltage drop and raise output

 

New sticker!

 

I dropped off my shift knob and center console cover Wednesday and got it back today. I very pleased with the wrap and the storm trooper theme continues! Can’t wait to get the custom 3D printed inserts to bring everything together.

 

Did a simple phone mount.

 

I installed the Autovox M1 rear view camera and monitor. The unit was just under $50 with free shipping. I purchased it mainly so I could keep an eye on my trailer while hauling my motorcycles. Instead of wiring it into the reverse lights I wired it to a toggle switch (that I've had forever) and installed it and the monitor in the cubby just below the HVAC switches. The monitor was about the same width where it fit in between the cigarette lighter and aux power humps, so it not going to move around. My son asked why I mounted the camera off center. My reply was, because the access hole to lower the spare tire is in the center.

BTW - in order to get a clean install I took out the passenger seat and center console.

Another thing to mention, I have LED spot lights mounted for additional backup lights. The spots are the wired to a toggle switch next to the side mirrors control. I first tapped into the power wire for the spots thinking a could just use the same toggle switch, saving me a lot of time. It worked, except that there were horizontal interference lines on the monitor. So I tossed that idea and hooked up separately.

 

Where'd you order that from?

 

Tried to install all 3 of my new @SOS CONCEPTS steel skids but ran out of energy (thanks to 72 night shift hours in the last 8 days). Drilled the pilot holes needed for the last skid (transfer case/exhaust but didn’t have the energy to open up the holes as needed for the carriage bolts. Very happy with the fit and heft of these babies. Will definitely be giving them a lot of love on Monday (wheeling crown king).

 

Replaced my OEM badges with some dark grey vinyl ones from cboy

 

Put some new front rotors and pads on the Taco yesterday!

 

Probably going to have to do this soon. What brand did you go with? Cost?

 

ok kinda thought along those lines... i run - 2 Odyssey 35-PC1400's - but went with the OEG kit etc..so didn't need to go that route....tnx bill

 

Yea my brakes were done, so i just decided to get new rotors as well. I went to brakeperformance.com and got a good deal. I spent about $180 for a whole new set!

 

link for the brake system? need to do mine soon too!

 

ive always heard drilled/slotted rotors are not the best for off road applications due to mud/rocks/debris getting in the holes slots. what's your take?

 

I had to take it in the week after I bought it for tpms sensor and they were acting like I was crazy for not letting them change them. Funny it’s certified preowned and they didn’t change them a week before when they certified. So far not super impressed with certified. They also let it go with no rear bump stops.
