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

My bad I thought I attached the picture. Sorry doing to many things at once lol
Its a single din head unit but the dash kit will work with either double or single.

 

I like the contrast. Is it black, or charcoal gray?

 

Keep it lubed and it will last ! My experience - 2008 Tacoma so I've had my pop & lock tailgate lock for a long time - it stopped working recently so I lubed the lock thu the key slot - still didn't work - I took the plastic cover off the tailgate - lubed every thing really good - moved rods back and forth by hand until it worked with the key - so I'm thinking maybe lube everything once a year or so especially if U R in the rust belt like I am.

 

Its black

 

Great looking rig. How are you liking the Voodoo Rack? Which length/height did you go with and did you go aluminium or steel?

 

NICE................ I have been slowly getting rid of the silver/grey stuff for awhile....

Think it gives the interior a much nicer look...

 

Ope, awesome. Thanks for this picture.

I'm about to rip out my dash to paint it all matte black in preparation for my new

$280 iLX-W650 7" double DIN touchscreen digital multimedia receiver with bluetooth, apple carplay and android auto

iLX-W650 receiver.

Thinking the trim around the speedometers too.

 

Yea I've been seeing it more and more and it definitely gives it a nicer look. I like the silver but I think the black definitely looks nicer. I'm content for right now but eventually the rest will end up that way. I also need a double din touch screen to throw in but that will be a while as well. I paid alot for this one for my jeep and transferred it to the truck and its only like a year old.

 

I dropped mine off for the frame recall, an alignment and possible power steering leak...

 

For those of you who kept your OE tires and rims: how are you storing them? I’m thinking of building something like these to get them up off the floor and out of the way. As a side note, I would love to have a shed!

 

Sweet post it when ur done.......

 

I used trailtoys for the outer ones. For the inner ones I used a paint pen. I cut tabs I bent up to reattach the fender liners, so trim was not an option. You can use the pen for the rear bedsides too if your trim ain't staying.

 

They look good! Did the same thing, holding up well. I brushed on metal primer, two coats, and them spray-bombed the black.

 

Did a couple of easy things today.

Flushed the brake fluid. Had been a couple of years. Old fluid looked decent. Thank you to my wife for her assistance.



And threw on a new PCV valve. Old one seemed ok. But only $5 from the dealer.



Back to being bored.

 

I keep my winter wheels/tires under my work bench. Just built a simple 2x4 frame to hold them in place.

 

When you cut tabs and put your fender liners back, did you keep the factory intake? I’ve seen several guys reroute the intake into the firewall or inside the cab.

 

Not sure what I’m going to do yet. Making one cut on the fender will be easy, but then I want some kind of liners. So. Many. Decisions.

 

Thanks! And I like it. 14" and steel. Wish I went aluminum because it is showing some signs of rust. Pretty unavoidable living here in WA

 

For sure.

I'm just assuming you painted all yours, correct me if wrong, but if you did, did you paint the round trim around the climate control knobs with the temp settings and all that?

I'm doubting it because it does look factory. But I'm wanting to paint the thing too, but not without covering up the setting display.

 

I did the cowl reroute first.
