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

Besides rotating tires and changing the oil, I typically disconnect my battery when working on the truck. Do that and no worries.

 

Another example as to why I like the Access Cab, Those wheels & tires really set it off, Very Nice!

 

I’ve utilized every blank switch slot on the dash, so no more switches necessary. Have you posted the use of that cubby in the past cause I got the idea from someone on this forum? I just can’t remember who. So thank you if it was you or to the member if not you. I noticed the pull handles. I added those to mine just today and finished wiring up the back lights to turn on with the dash lights.

 

Very nice!!!. having lived in MN I feel your pain!! but your effort was well worth it. very nice!!

 

I built a new coolant expansion tank since the first one was too small.

Then did something not truck related and used my roommates new bend tech dragon and built my buddy a rear addition for his rzr

 

Looks awsome,did you do it yourself?

 

Sorry about that,thought it was the retro-headlight clip

 

how much did painting run?

 

Thank you both! I’ve had both regular cabs and crew cabs in the past. This is my first access cab and I love it!

 

Installed cruise control in my 0 option truck. Did it Saturday but wanted to test it and report after a couple days.
I couldn't get the "CRUISE" lamp to illuminate at first, I had used the wrong terminal in the connector at the spiral cable. A little brain fart by me.

It works as it should, now I need to tidy up the wire. I ran a quick wire to the ECM to make sure everything works.

I also installed a "t-harness" for my remote start install later this year.

 

When I put mine on I bough stainless steel ones and just used a crazy long 2 ft long srewdriver to screw it on from the bottom of the truck so you can't get to the screw on the clamp except from the bottom. I already had the screwdriver from another project.

 

Depending on what you have in mind for the back, here are some ideas.

I found a guy who does it on the side, but he works at a big collision company. It was $100 and took him 2 days

 

Added to my reading list. Thanks again!

 

Seems to me that sound through the hood isn't entering the cabin, and you want that panel (the hood) to dissipate heat as quickly as possible. More heat in the engine bay isn't generally a good thing, right? ( below the 45th parallel...)

 

Perfect.

That's a lot of meat...mind sharing the tire size/lift deets?

 

Thank you!

Wheels: 16x7.5 +10
Tires: 265/75/16
Suspension: stock

 

My last Tacoma was an '11 MGM AC TRD Sport. Now im in a '13 AC SR5. I JUST let a set of those wheels get away from me a couple weeks ago. Your pic confirms my lust and pisses me off at the same time!

PS, I grew up in Andovah. Go Bruins!

 

That's hilarious. He must have used a cheap incorrect type of deadoner.

 

That plastic cover on top of Tacoma 4.0's is to quiet the engine down in the interior of the truck. It doesn't matter where the sound is occurring at because sound waves aren't directional until high frequencies are achieved.
