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

Just like someone else said. Costal Georgia Winter Storm made my exterior all flower jizzy so I detailed the interior.

 

What seats are those? Very nice.

 

Thank you! They came as a Dealer Add On for the XSP-X Edition. Available in the Southeast it came with Bushwaker fenders, LED's, all-weather seats, different wheels and bunch of other cosmetic stuff.

 

I used the Metra single DIN kit only thing I had to do was open up the 4 way flasher area so the button wouldn't stick. It fits tight and no rattles but then its only a street truck

 

Great! No refuting here. I absolutely believe it worked well for you because I've done the same thing many times. The company that I worked for almost exclusively used Metra. The only times I've used Scosche is on my own vehicles and maybe 5 different customers vehicles that had purchased their own kit. I've only used a Scosche kit once on a 2nd gen Tacoma. The company that I worked for used a Metra kit, new Metra harness, new Toyota clips, new Toyota brackets, new Toyota wiring repair kits, and new Toyota screws because they could charge their customers cost + 30% + labor at $76.50 an hour for each part. I think the kit labor was around $26, it's been a while. Plus labor for each screw, I think it was $3 and change for labor. Each wire harness got labor billed as well. Etc...

 

Blinged my truck out with some ice.

 

Installed a 30" RigidHorse light bar with upgraded wiring harness and $22 Amazon mounts. I hid the oversized switch in the cubby since all my spots are full.

 

Where'd you get that weird looking beard for the front bumper? Looks "cool" if ya know what I mean

 

It was the 3m kit I was surprised how well it worked for 15 bucks make sure you get a good clearcoat though with UV protectant otherwise they will go right back to yellow

 

I plugged in my scangauge to get the code for my CEL + traction lights and I hit clear instead of read. Whoops I did notice my gas cap wasn't super tight so maybe that was the issue. I guess I'll find out on my next drive.

 

i hate you

 

Ordered a set of Bilstein 5100's. Gonna tackle the rears this weekend but will probably end up paying a shop to do the fronts.

 

You have other options. I can help you do it if you'd like. Or I'll install them for a trade of some beer (lol) and you can watch - no laughing until I'm done or until I'm in the hospital (jk). If you don't have a location to do it I have a garage. I changed my front struts a little over 2 months ago. I have a friend that owns a 100% legit off road shop as well. You can have him do it, or at least get a qoute from him, and he has a brand new state of the art alignment machine too. You'll get a print out and a receipt. Since you and I are friends my friend will give you a great price with a full shop warranty etc... I didn't install 5100's so I don't know if you need to change the bump stops at the same time.

Let me know.

 

Where in SD are you or your friends shop?

 

El Cajon

 

Iced mine up also

 

also a new bed cover this week

Undercover. Found on CL

 

One on my 2013 since new. I'm very impressed. no fading. Hardware, locks, paint, even the LED all work like new.

 

I don't know much about them but I've read that some things don't sit perfect above the tailgate because the tailgate is lower than the bed rails. How well does that fit above the tailgate?

It looks great from here.

 

Great to know! This one was in great shape. I bought new shocks for it on Amazon ($35) and replaced the LED batteries only because I wanted it like new. Loving it so far.
