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

Found this little gem in my dad's old tool box. TRD wheel&tire tape measure. I think it was a promo item he got back when he was a parts manager for a Toyota dealer here in MN

 

Painted the lower center console to match the blacked-out dash I'd done a couple of weeks ago. It's the little chrome trim that drove me nuts, so I just removed it. Need to do the steering wheel trim and gauge outlines next.

 

Yeah, I've been trying to decide the same thing.

 

How did you remove it? Does it just "pop out" by prying it up?

 

Yes, it's an easy pry up with plastic pry tools. I learned it following this post:

Lookin good!

 

Not today but yesterday... spent a good couple of hours taking apart the dash...

Moved my rear diff lock switch over, Installed my 2WD Lo module and switch. Moved the ATRAC switch from the center console to left of the steering wheel. Now all my traction switches are in one panel. My ocd can rest easy for now. (May order a custom switch that actually says ATRAC, instead of traction)


Also finally wired my Baja designs fogs and Cree bumper bar light to the spod and switches in the center console and prepped switches for future accessories.

 

Thankyeeeee....comming along nice. I have one fender down, I have other chores to do. Will get back on it later with cold beers.

 

Nice job. That's what I did. Right now I have my inner liner mounted using the existing clips on the inside, but temporarily zip tied to those outer tabs bent up. Some gaps and so on. I bought some thin rubber I plan on trying to cut to make a liner and then drill some holes in the tabs to use those clips to attach it. Keep us updated on what you do to reattach the liner. Tag me if you can.

 

Shorten that to 5 words or less and you got yourself a Great Tag!!

 

"Don't let the smoke out"....could mean SO many things....but we'll know

 

If I learned nothing else in many years in different types of utility plants / water plants it was when the smoke is gone so are you..

 

New Retro Decals as well as a new Wilco Hitchgate Offset Spare Tire Rack.

 

Finally did this with my Meso overhead panel. Looks really nice. Fits the interior very nicely and the AirOnBoard switches fit perfectly. Also, installed a TRD OR recovery hook I bought from @JEtaco03

Now it's time to actually put the accessories for the switches in place! I've got the air compressor in and going to work on the kc cyclone rock lights and the @mattgecko bed lights next. I've got to track down some posts that detail wiring for a dual switch setup so I can have one in the bed and one in the cab.

 

Ive been meaning to do this for awhile so with the time off I actually got around to doing it. All made in a parking lot. Apartment life!

Before my recovery gear was all in a full length drawer in my bed so having it all now on the driver side windoor for easy access, this will free up storage space in the drawer.

Still have to order mounting brackets in so I can strap it in so it doesn’t slide. Atm using a Ratchet strap around the outside of it to keep it in the corner.

 

Went in for an alignment and found out I’m gonna get a new frame.

 

10/4 will do. Will be taking me longer than normal, I don’t ever get to work on it long enough to finish something. I have waaaaay too many projects going on at once right now!

 

I dipped mine to get that look, but I just did the chrome along with the rest.

 

nice
