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

yup. Pics like this make me question my life choices. And, I'm sorry, but a properly built AC puts all the rest to shame.

 

What is the length of our stock antennas, 31"?

 

Until you need to carry passengers.

 

Yes.

 

Link to the lights?

 

Same...

 

Havent done anything to the taco since the ultra low profile ditch light bracket install, but this thing caught my eye at work the other day and had me feeling some type of way #manvan

 

My soccer mom days are behind me. I want a truck, not a people hauler. The Dog and the girl fit just fine.

for the last 80 years std cabs suited anybody with a pair just fine.

 

New LED Plate lights

 

Where did you get it?

 

Woodie award for that set up.

 

Great Color!! Wheels & Tires really set it off, & its a Access Cab, Very Nice!!!

 

Just installed a CBI bedrack and Tepui Ayer! Cant wait to test it out.

 

Not today, but getting my front struts replaced this Friday (Bilstein 5100's). Question, should I go with the 0, .25 or .85? I don't have a lift and don't need one. Rear suspension is stock except for 5100's as well. Front suspension is all stock as well. I was thinking just staying with 0 preset to keep it stock-like. Thoughts?

 

If you want maximum ride quality, keep it at 0.

After 7 years my battery finally gave out. It started with a check engine light on Sunday, which had me worried. When I scanned it I got a low or high power supply voltage. Kind of surprised me because I do not recall a battery ever causing a check engine light to come on. So I ran over to Batteries plus and had them check the battery. They checked the alternator and starter while they were at it. Sure enough the battery had finally gone out. Well out for the most part because I still drove it home and then to work and then to Costco.

I was going to buy and AMG Northstar battery which is north of $300. After reading through the below thread I changed my mind. It requires more voltage to charge than our alternators put out. We put out about 14V and it requires 14.4-14.8 volts to maintain a healthy life. You can buy a plug and play voltage booster that you plug into the fuse slot, but its another $150. 5 year warranty and made in the USA!

So $450 = https://www.batteriesplus.com/produ...toyota/tacoma/2013/v6-4.0l-710cca/sli27fagmdp

I decided to go with an Interstate battery from Costco for $94. 3 year warranty. And from what I can find online, based on where I live, made in the USA. Standing in the rain on lunch kind of sucked, but I take a lot of pride in doing things for myself. I actually had to laugh to myself with some of the looks I got. Just changing a battery here folks, it's 3 10MM nuts. Pretty simple stuff.

Oh and if that was you in the blacked out 2nd gen with the 3" lift, and front bumper winch insert that let me back out of my spot. HI

East detailing, $40.

 

Thinking of doing this. Opinions needed.
I have this grille:
I took off the Toyota badge from the stock grill, just messing around. Considering this:
Or painting the badge black.
Should I go chrome badge, black badge, or no badge?

 

Ordered a set of KB Voodoo Side Rail and Tailgate Caps that arrived today. Stoked to get these installed!

 

I like the badge , I would paint it black chrome
