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

LOL. Had some issues with the programming part, but finally got it squared away.

Definitely love it, and recommend it.

 

Right on man, im convinced. Gunna wire everything up this weekend

 

Atta boy!

 

Nice! Next month my truck is officially mine.

 

Awesome!

 

Not today but a few things I did prior to the road trip I didn’t post.
Mounted the max traxx to the Thule tacks I installed a while back

Ultra gauge in a mesocustoms overhead mount to tack fuel mileage and various other stats while on the road. Not sure how I achieved 30+mpg average

Mapped out the route on the Garmin overlander and mounted for easy access
Paired with the wireless rear view cam since I’ve blocked my OEM can now


Installed Plano double gun case on the roof

added some Rigid rock lights For camp lighting I was scheming on how to get a downward angle for the sides and it’s like Rigid knew and sent these awesome thick Rubber angle bases! #winning


and just yesterday I finally chopped the exhaust and got rid of that ugly weathered tip I’ve had forever

 

I put a 6 tone double ram bottle jack and safe jack extensions under the rear seat and organized my recovery gear

 

My vote: it's wrong

 

Did you cut out the OEM bottle jack mount in there? How did you do it?

 

How do you access the back to press the buttons?

 

Added the VIPMotoz Red OLED License Plate Tag Lights to the 2013 Truck today. Easy install under 20 minutes including cutting off the extra plastic tab that otherwise gets in the way.
I travel across country to help out in wildfires, floods, blizzards, etc. and I wanted to increase the truck's visibility from the rear without being obnoxious so others can follow me through smoke, avoid debris, see in whiteouts and hopefully help them stay on the roads (or fire roads).

Thanks to everyone here on TW for the ideas and help. It seems I keep adding more "wishlist" ideas to my build list. Thanks!

 

New shoes and a couple of coats of Plastidip to clean the wheels up!!!

 

Added 1.25 Spacers to the front to fix the rubbing issue, back wheels will have them Monday

 

Looks good.

Any night shots of the rigid lights?

 

Used the truck to haul out this years buck..

 

I left it and but the jack is on the other side. Didn't strap it down though. All my recovery stuff is on top of the stock jack mount

 

to update after 24 hours...
Brakes are significantly better (SoCal highway). Very happy with the improvements, recommend.
Plugs made a world of difference in the smoothness and acceleration departments for sure. Quiet, no Tacoma tings and pings.
As for the Morimoto LEDs, I’m not completely sold on the actual pattern of light. Color is great, but the visibility does not seem improved and they are a little high in angle. Will try to adjust down but so far, not super pumped on them.

 

New tires!

 

I thought the same thing for the first few weeks with my Morimotos. One morning on my way to work (445am) it was a torrential downpour, limited visibility. We live a ways out in the country so no big streetlights for at least 30 minutes. The fog lights cut thru and gave me incredible visibility. Not super noticeable all the time, but worth the $$ when it counts.

 

Upgraded the speakers to the JL audio C690x component set after one of the MTX coaxials blew on me. Large improvement in sound quality again, high end is no longer sharp, harsh and balanced. Looking forward to the many hours to be spent listening to tunes.
