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

Justin in now 18 and graduated High School last May went back to try living with his Mother Idaho. Last on month got tossed our (She is very violent drunk) went and picked up in July brought him back to Sacramento got a temp at Best Buy report to Marine Basic on March 3 this year. He is a good young man and will do well the Marines he needs the discipline offered in the military. We had road trip the see Kindig it Design in SLC last fall spent few on the Bonneville Salt Flats running the Taco had great time I will miss but it’s time for him to move forward. Now I have go are stare doing the work on our 3 cars.

 

Totally considered rededicated that extra space in the rear doors for something else. Rattling worries kept me from putting a subwoofer there.

 

Installed the 2lo module today after work.

 

Pretty easy to do. A pillar covers, rear pillars, middle piece, (i have a AC so there's a spot for an oh shit handle to remove), take off sunvisors, center overhead console... the clips for the sun visor and the hanger hooks are the hardest to do, but they just twist FIRMLY counterclockwise.

 

Was there already a speaker hole cut out in the metal of the rear door? Or did you have to cut that out too?

 

They’re from @mstudt ! Still has a few left of the one I got.

 

There's a nice hole that fits a 6" speaker. I used the plastic piece that was mounted in there as a template, routed some speaker wire up to the dash, and disconnected the useless 'rear speakers' that are in the headliner

before, during and after pics

 

Hmmmm. I have an AC too. Lots of wires to deal with? My free time is limited

 

Finally got her somewhat cleaned up.

 

no not a lot of wires to deal with.

I ran speaker wire through the door grommets, under the door sills, under the carpet to center console, then to the dash, splice in the green and purple pairs for rear speakers.

 

Ordered up my TW sticker Looking forward to the mad horsepower gains

 

Might have to add this to the to-do list. Thanks for the info!

 

let us know how long it takes you to get it. Want to also order one.

 

Tried my hand at making some tool attachments for the bed rails. Not finished but halfway there. Was hoping I would get it right the first try.


They don’t sit as flush as I would like them to, and they’re all slightly different lengths due to the bending inaccuracy.
Though all in all, not bad for only having a drill, hack saw, and pliers.

 

Will do. That was my main concern, getting it sometime this year

 

Got the Hilux Snorkel plumbed using the 3" exhaust rhino lined. She's tight now, Also got the baja designs fogs installed along with the Rough Country 30" lightbar. Just gotta paint and install headlight fillers and close the gap up. Good day today

 

I replaced the cabin air filter on mine with this:

UPOWER CF10374 Fresh Breeze Cabin...

GRQV-0024969607

It did not take long after i figured out the hinges. It was cheaper too, dealer wanted nearly $50, car store wanted $30, I got it for $10 just had to wait a day bless Amazon prime's 1-day shipping. I also finally got the cowl guard on my driver side replaced. I am waiting to see if the cabin filter really does what it says. Also sprayed it down. We have mad pollen round here. Everyday when getting to work I gotta spray it down. Black shows that pollen horribly. Also thinking rather I should get just seat covers or totally redo the seats. The 'sport fabric' rips so easily, cheap ass pleather or vinyl or whatever it is.

Go get ya a 4lb hammer and a vise, you can make your bends sharper!

 

Drove to work and back today.

 

Sounds like a plan for after work tomorrow! May get something better than a hack saw too for future use. Sawing through that much aluminum was insane.
