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

Now I need to change my license plate...

so basically done with the 4wd conversion on my truck just have to modify the front driveshaft

 

Bout dang near time brotha! Looks great! I'm just about to order my 8" coilovers. Just need the DK kit to complete the rig up front.

 

Audio upgrade in progress

 

That’s a first!!, I had em on my subie, now I may have to get a set for the winter..!

 

Did the beep on lock mod for those of us that have pre-09 without the viper alarm. Pretty quick and cheap.



The second one I did was my take on magnets for the softopper window. Had some Velcro laying around, threw some magnet strips on the back of it, and finally added clear vinyl on the magnets to prevent scratching the truck.
Main reason I wanted the Velcro is because I have multiple windows for the softopper. Easier this way.

 

lol I know right; I’ve had the 4runner transfer case installed on the truck since the first day in March...but been lagging and on finishing

 

I don't blame you. With the craziness of the times it's hard to facilitate or predict times to work on the truck. But nice you finally have it done, that's gotta feel like a major accomplishment

 

@Dex__43 you can do it too

 

Today I drove the Taco across town to an Advanced Auto Parts store that had a PCV valve for the Prius. Cleaned out the intake manifold on it also.

 

Niiice

 

When you going to order? I'm hopefully a week or two away from getting my DK kit

 

That is a clean ass window. I can barely see out of mine. Roll it up frequently to do so.

 

Completely removing my rear window was my favorite way to run my softopper. Still had decent protection from the elements and prying eyes, but could toss stuff in the back like it was an open bed.

 

Nice man! I'm hoping to order the kit by the time my coilovers are ready, I'm ordering custom ADS coilovers so maybe 4-5 months? I've been piecing together the parts at my own pace, got dk machined axles last month and have glass ready to go.

 

Finnaly got my tent on and built a drawer for my bed

 

Sweet! You going with a custom anodized finished on the coilovers? I'll take a bunch of pictures when I do the install, really hoping DK sticks to their 4 week lead time and it doesn't turn into 6+ weeks

 

Installed a Joying 8" stereo. Pretty much plug and play. Need to modify the brackets so it sits all the way in. Runs android 8 which is a pita. Have to install Disney and Netflix through.apk files...

Managed to get a few pics in the neighborhood today after the installs with my brother in law and his 2020 Tundra. Stoked on the results my trucks feels night and day compared to my old spacer lift.

 

Thank you brother. We stayed up till sunrise watching over the property and woke up to everyone helping the community pick up the pieces. That really pulled on the heart strings. Last night was a freaking nightmare. The explosions, gun shots, screaming, sounds of looting and people yelling for help, sirens, helicopters, cars peeling out over and over, the fire and smoke all made it seem like we were literally in hell.

Everything is boarded up just in case they do come back tonight. Everyone is on edge about it.

I'm afraid downtown SD might see the same crap tonight.

 

Glad you made it through all the insanity hope you say safe I don’t believe the news can give the true horror of how you must have felt. It just confirms my thanks for living in the boonies
