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

Wow, your truck looks great. Definitely lifted.

 

You’re over thinking this. I will post this again. My truck, which is a 6 speed, has weathertech front and rear mats in it. I didn’t trim anything.

Google search “Tacoma 6 speed weathertech”, you’ll find a TON of info

 

Thanks. I wonder if they're better than the less-coverage version Weathertech ones. I have those now (different pattern, doesn't rise up on the sides)

 

I know rach junkyard varies price wise but I'm for curious how much you paid for the intermittent wiper switch & what you snagged it out of?

 

Better?

Still need to clear it

 

Can't wait to see the conversion completed!

 

Did a drain & fill on the coolant. Used Toyota/ Lexus 50/50 antifreeze. Cost $25 per gallon from the dealership (not sure if that's a good price). Only drained about half a gallon from the radiator petcock.

Then was able to get about another quart by blowing through the radiator top

Also noticed small aluminum shavings and other sediment in the drain pan (not a lot.... but thought it was interesting to see metal shavings)

 

They sold me the whole steering column for 50 bucks. And it was out of another tacoma. Not sure what year, but if they didn't find the one they sold me, they were pulling one out of a 2010 sr5 that I got the hood off

 

Decided to dip a couple of items this afternoon. Trying to decided if the skid plate needs to go black too. Thoughts?

 

I got my Weathertechs for free out of a Tacoma I took in trade years ago. It was an Automatic they did ever so slightly catch onto my clutch pedal, so I just trimmed it up just a bit and 122k later, still go'n strong. I personally don't know if they have different Mats for Manual vs Automatic, but I did have to make these work *shrugs*



Edit: I actually only had to cut a small notch out, not as big as the previous picture I put up.



Previous pic....

 

Added a RCI bedrack...

 

Personally, I'd leave the skid the color it is. I like when it stands out. Black may make it unnoticeable. Just my opinion tho. Truck looks good man

 

Removed the stupid stickers on the frame. Why it took me 5 years I cannot say.

 

Yes it is... gotta force it in the middle of the back seat because it leaves zero room for myself (6’4’’) or my wife (6’0’’) to sit in the passenger seat if it’s on the passenger side. Actually started looking at full size trucks...

 

Parked it....head in!

 

Sticky sticky.

 

GF and I have the same seat. Having a seperate base in each vehicle makes it so much easier! Thankfully she's only 5'3 so it actually fits pretty well in the access cab. Im kicking myself for not holding out for a double cab though. The truck is secondary in baby duty behind her car so the inconvenience is minimized.

 

Thank you!!

 

Wow! That didn't look like an enjoyable job... Results will be enjoyable though

 

It wasn’t. Been rolling with bare floors for a year. Figured I’d clean it up a bit.
