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

Which gun case is that? I'm looking for a good overland recovery gear box that's fairly low profile with end latches and the one you have looks to fit my needs.

 

I pulled out the second screw to get stuck in my tires in a year. Was actually able to plug the hole with the help of a deadblow hammer. Then I ordered some more plugs and a

$91 viair 88p portable compressor kit (12V, 120 psi, forup to 33" tires)

viair 88p to keep in my truck to air up if it starts leaking in the future. Also to allow me to air down if I taker off road without the worry of airing back up.

 

Changed oil ( Mobil 1 full synthetic and Mobil 1 filter)added

$37 Fumoto F103N with LC-10 lever clip FN-Series Engine Oil Drain Valve, 1 Pack

Fumoto F103N with nipple so I don't have to pull off skid plate next time getting old hahaha. Rotated tires and gave her a wash... Long day
Be Safe...

Custom Offset for the win. Those dudes are hilarious

 

Just a Plano all weather tactical gun case. It was the cheaper option to buying a Pelican case.

 

I like that the bumper has the hitch reciever, how much if you dont mind me asking?

 

Got the oil changed. I love my fumoto valve. It drains slow but I love not spilling a drop of oil on the driveway or garage floor.

 

Yes, it has an integrated 2” receiver that is hidden behind the license plate. The license plate is on a spring loaded hinge. The trailer plug is relocated under and up inside the bumper to provide max clearance. It takes stock license plate light fixtures. $1250 in April. They have since stopped shipping powder coated steel bumpers. Too many issues with shipping scars. Mine had two scuffs, but hey, it’s not a mall crawler and I will surely do some damage worse than that!


This is not the high clearance bumper which requires fender cutting. This is a direct bolt on replacement for the stock bumper and hitch.

Got another detail finished in my 4x4 conversion. Prerunner harness is missing 2 wires at cluster for these lights soooo... I had to de-pin a Lexus harness connector and file and insert them into connector. Worked first try.

 

FINALLY found the horrendous rattle in my truck.

 

If you don’t already have a build thread on this, you need one. We need one!

 

I know

 

Do I just make a quirky title and explain my intentions and expectations of what I want from my tacoma?

 

I’m interested in how you wired this also. I have @mattgecko hood and bed lights, but I just have one switch for the bed lights. For some reason I can’t get my head around how to wire in the cab also.

 

I guess its time to trade it in now!!!!

LoL

 

Actually the trailer plug is behind my license plate as well.

 

maybe nobody cares but ive been trying to figure this out for months. i hated the cheap chinese switches for my heated seats. i bought some oem toyota switches on ebay. cut the pigtails that my truck was partially wired for and spliced them into the besond controller. trouble is figuring out not only the besond wires but the toyota ones too. yes, you read the pic correctly. besond uses a red wire as a ground! i believe im the only person to ever do this as theres no info on it. kinda proud of myself.

 

Dude- best looking engine bay I’ve seen. Nice work!
