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

That would be a lot of work, and up to the user/installer. I found no need. It's just an air-gap of the plastic snorkel housing and fender, no noise/vibrations and only noticed within 5 feet if you're looking for the fitment.

 

You think so?

 

It's an aesthetic thing. It is 100% sealed and tight, if you want it to have a tighter fit then you can do other things like body filler to expand the fender or rubberized insulation to take up the gap, but it's a 3.5"x2" oval (eye-balled) that is the tube from the snorkel housing to the intake-snorkel tube. It's completely sealed but the fender gap isn't perfect. You really won't notice, imho, unless you're looking for it. I have tree/rock dents, brush scrapes and so on so it looks good to me.

 

SP or NP? I've spent very little time in the NP but have camped & off road all over the SP for about 9 days total.

 

What’s the deal with that breather?

 

Yea I know I’m just being picking and i just meant like in the outer edge but when I get one I’ll experiment with it

 

From what I understand, the ARB fills the lines in the fender better, but it's still not perfect. I opted for the cheaper, directly made one.

 

Not sure what you mean, but assuming you aren't familiar with that mod.... Apparently our trucks come with extended breathers on the front diff from the factory, but not on the rear for some reason. I followed this thread:

Theres a ton of info about it in there if you read through

 

I ended up using this to hide the line. Works well. Pain to get it pinched in while tightening though

 

Two great mods today:

First was the Meso Custom gasshole. Such a simple thing but makes a big difference.


Second was adding a dual USB port to the rear of the center console for passengers in the back seat. HUGE shout out to Col4bin for his help with the install. Offering advice here online and giving up his free time to be available via facetime to help with questions I had along the way. Very happy with the way it turned out!

 

Scaled it today after I put the raft and all the gear on the trailer.
I think the trailer could handle a can or two of beer.

 

Thanks for the idea

 

I don’t typically praise Harbor Freight tools, but this oil filter vice grip wrench has come in handy so many times when the filter is on to tight, it is well worth having in the tool box.

 

Is there a full write up on the USB wiring? That’s nice

 

There's a better one like channel locks.

 

Adjustable vice grips work great for me.

Bye bye chrome!

 

I pretty much followed Col4bin's write up. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/rear-usb-port-in-the-2016.397866/page-3#post-20018203

This is very handy. I did similar several months ago so back seat passengers could charge digital devices. I opted for a twin receptacle with both USB and standard 12v so I could plug in our twin headrest mounted DVD system for trips.
