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

Pulled the flares off my bed, installed the LO tone horn (still need to order the HI), replaced the WeatherTechs with carpet mats, ordered a fuse/relay bracket from Paranoid fab, sold my tailgate to @vssman

Still so much to do.

 

I don't see tweeters in that list

Lol ya..

I saw that after I hit "purchase". I thought it said it included the Tweeters. It said "3/8" PET dome tweeter"

The reviews, the price and the free hardware made it too hard to pass up.

I'm a little rusty when it comes to auto stereo equipment, thanks for link! It will help for sure

Edit: the tweeters do come with the speakers. 3/8s I though it was one to replace those nasty speakers in the roof

 

Another reason I do all of my own maintenance: no fill/drain plug needs to be installed this tight!

 

I would have started out with these if I had seen them, but I replaced these with cloth after my first go-round. I was warned the leather would be too hot, and they were right. I used cloth instead and they have held up perfectly. I also repaired the plastic armrest, which was cracked really badly. You can see how I did it in my 'restoration' thread.

 

Right on, nice! I heard about it being to hot in the summer too. But I figured I won't have too much of an issue because my windows are tinted and I use a sun visor. We'll see lol I just want the center console lid cover to match the side armrests

 

Curious why you went with URD's MAF Calibrator when you can do all that and more with HP Tuners now and not have a failure point in the form of a piggyback black box that needs to be spliced in to the factory harness?

For the record, I'm beyond satisfied with the engine AND tranny tuning capabilities that HP Tuners provides and @JustDSM can get you set up for about the same price as the URD unit.

 

BTW what's size screws did you use to remount the arm piece?

Edit: nevermind is saw it in your build thread, looks good!

 

replaced mine with this hex head dimple magnetic..

 

Did you need spacers to put the 16” wheels on?

 

I like that black spring. Is that the SS-3H?

 

I didn’t notice that detail!!! That’s a must have vs. chrome.

 

I ordered some but they haven’t arrived. I won’t need them though with the offset of the wheels. I did have to do the cmc and some trimming, as well as pull off those god awful mud flaps. Tires stick out 1.25”-1.5” past the fender and I have plenty of clearance on the stock UCA

 

Lol exactly! I've got the chrome one and am going to swap it for the black stainless steel.

 

do you tow something, or just big tires wheels etc? Im curious as I run Km3's , 33's on some old pro comps, full skids, ARB bumper winch etc......only thing I have done is SS extended lines and I think (key word think) my brakes are fine....perhaps I just dont know the improvement to be had? I see this mod often, usually find the person tows

 

Jus curious, living in Connecticut with all the snow y'all get why did you decide to replace the Weathertech's with carpet mats or is ths just for Spring/ Summer?

 

Just for Spring/Summer
I may toss them back in if I off-road it and there will be mud.

 

Was just curious as I know you must track snow and other moisture in the winter especially. @vssman is a good guy I didnt know y'all were that close together

 

I tow boats often, usually weekly, sometimes daily. Most of them that I tow aren't that heavy, around 3,000-4,000 pounds, but sometimes I tow much heavier boats with the heaviest one so far being around 6,800-7,000 pounds. Required brake pedal pressure with the dual diaphragm booster is much much less. I read a lot about dual diaphragm boosters before I did the swap and a lot of race cars/trucks use dual diaphragm boosters.

I towed that 6,800-7,000 pound boat down a long 20*+ driveway and stopped half way down the driveway and it didn't have any problems stopping on that decline.

 

I used to like snow as a kid but now it's just a nuisance.
I took a ride up to his house yesterday. It was a nice drive but Waze took me the long way?
