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

This por15 frame project has been work. The product is great. The applicator, aka me, is what is holding this project back. It's not a show truck but there are just so many spots I couldn't get to. Here are the progress pics after 1 coat. 1 coat then a top coat to make me feel better about myself.

This would be great for a frame off project or parts you can take out. Would I do this again? No. It just puts makeup on a pig in my opinion. The spots I couldn't get or didnt get good enough will still rust away unfortunately.

 

RTT installed and the boy is excited for 1st trip

 

The video feed and HU trigger use the backup camera connections. You need a video switcher that will feed the correct signal to the HU based on the trigger that it sees. Here's an example of what you're looking for that will support 4 cameras. https://tailgatecamera.com/collections/backup-camera/products/intelligent-4-camera-switcher

 

Hit the entire frame with fluid film or something and those rust spots won’t grow too much.

 

Great wheels, what model fuels are those?

 

Used it to carry 800lbs of cement. Squat made me wish I had a set of Ride Rites.

 

I've been fighting a vibration at takeoff after my lift. I wanted to just get a double cardan driveshaft and not mess with shims by couldn't justify the cost. Went playing in the rocks yesterday and now I have justification...

 

Yikes

 

Spark plugs, cleaned MAF and TB. Then general clean up under hood.
The cleanliness of this truck still amazes me. 161,500 miles.


Then I cleaned my girlfriends 100 series MAF/TB and engine bay. 215k miles.

Today has been a good day.

 

Installed ditch lights this weekend. I don't go off-roading. I did it because they look cool. Using inexpensive lights for now, but plan to upgrade when/if condensation sets in.

 

Holy Molly, Replaced shift knob with a TRD one and I got 10 more HP Took a trip after all the maint I did and under almost identical everything got 21.1mpg as before was 19.4mpg.

Been busy this weekend doing mods on the camper and getting it ready.

Got to find time to get those front 5100’s installed. There in the living room. And wire up those ditch lights. I decided to put the switch in center as a zombie light switch from CH4x4.

 

Finally got my @salex Vehicle OCD center console organizer installed. Trimmed ~2” cause I didn’t love how tall the cubbies were. The messy console drove me nuts. Not any more!


Also love the glovebox organizer

 

Cleaned my shifter assy.
Ran the wires for my CH4x4 switches.

Found this when I removed a bolt, PO had a XM radio in the car and this is how they grounded it (removed the XM the same week I bought the truck but didn't see this).

Cut my hand when routing the wires under the dash, not sure on what but it won't stop bleeding so I had to call it a day

 

Which TRD Shift knob? Pictures?

 

Scored today! Got a bed mat for free

My daily kijiji checking had been paying off, 3 weeks ago it was a tri fold and today the bed mat both free and both local.

 

Part #PTR51-00110

 

What's the Allen wrenches for?

 

Replaced my faded and cracked headlights with new black housing lights and finally painted my hood scoop black.

 

One is for the Cali Raised ditch lights and the other was for the old fart step that I should put away. The key is for the locks I installed on the drivers side storage compartment in the bed.

 

Prepping for 35s does anybody know if I have to trim 2.5 inches in the rear as well?
