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

I keep my jumper cables on the passenger side, and a bunch of smaller things on the driver side.

 

I was AMAZED at how much space is really back there when I removed my rear seats. It's like a cave.

 

I put some sound dampening material on the rear cab wall and stuffed the space with my recovery gear bag, an emergency fluid bag, a rain jacket, and other miscellaneous kit that I’d need from time to time but doesn’t need to be underfoot.

 

I have seen where folks did that but I honestly haven't had a real need for the space yet. I keep jumper cables, an extra jacket, and the rear sling seat for the dog behind the rear passenger seat. Behind the driver's side rear is a first aid kit and the container with the winch controller and under that seat I just moved a pair of work gloves and my big wratchet and sockets for the wheel lugs for the truck and camper. This will need more investigation but when we go out and off road all the recovery gear is in one tote and tools in another in the back of the truck.

 

Can confirm, this works really well

 

Absolutely for smaller items, but if you aren't running the jack on the passenger side you can put larger stuff there too. Been running one of these for a few months and love it.

 

I have a pair of longsleeve uninsulated coveralls under the pass rear with the jack. The drivers has a tarp, some bungees and when I'm going out I put a hand saw and hatchet. Behind the seat pass side has the factory sub, and the driver has jumper cables, Mag Light and a small Rubbermaid canister with lighter, fire starter and a small pocket knife.

Edit: I also have a socket set behind the driver side

 

Changed oil and filter.
Now set for the winter BS.

TOMB

 

kid car seats have taken this storage option away from me

 

Took those jacks out as well (I had 2) and have a ton of stuff stashed on passenger side

 

Got a new mgm matching surround piece for my pro grille but a little annoyed because I bought the piece used on eBay for $80 but the color is so much lighter and just looks off to me. Not to mention there’s a lot more scrapes than the eBay listing showed. At least it’s better than the chrome piece!

 

Did this today

 

That's cool!

 

Painted calipers, drums, and did some slight rear suspension changes

 

Nothing major, but mounted a fire extinguisher behind the driver seat. Used a The Bracketeer bracket. A little on the pricey side for what it is, but also super convenient.

 

Got some pods mounted to make sure I like how they look before running wires. Originally I wanted to mount the Baja Designs further in (toward the engine) with the clamp bracket facing backward, but there just isn't enough room to screw the nut down and the circular part of the light was contacting the metal tubing of the bumper.

 

Had this bed light kit for over 3 years... Finally installed it yesterday.

 

Dem Volks tho.... Oof.

I just could never do it though. Would probably cry the first time I dragged the lip of one across a rock.

 

My center console compartment latch broke the other day and the small spring in it got lose in the dark. That lead me to order a new latch but most importantly it also pushed me to install a light in the compartment.

I used USB cables I had as spare parts and an LED USB light I bought a couple of years ago. The light will be on as long as the radio is working. I didn't have a spare switch. Cost 1.95 for the light and maybe 1.99 for the USB wires. One of the best mods I've ever done as my wife won't get to see a $$$$ charge lol

 

My dad used to have a cat he would take on 10 mile trail runs with the dog as well. Then the poor cat got taken out by a bobcat. It was a pretty damn cool cat
