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

Great work, bet it sounds really nice and tight. props!

 

I did my tweeters first and then all 4 door speakers a few months later and tbh I really didn't notice much difference. That was with a stock head unit though

 

How's all that extra girth feel in the hands will definitely be doing this when mine starts showing signs of wear

 

Is it bendable?

 

I purchased mine that summer of 2005. Had a big sign on back window “truck of the year” from somebody. Who knows what they did? Maybe it varied by region? Mine had the Toyota alarm, maybe dealer put it in? Who knows?

 

So jealous of this

 

Gotta buy a battery for it tomorrow

 

This NVX SDRF20 sound deadening is the 3 layer stuff like Soundskins for half the price. I did the whole back wall before I got my Stealthbox and amp tho... it was honestly super easy to put on tho. Remove the seat back with 14mm socket and the plastic trays on the wall are 10mm.

First post on the forums, but finally got the truck all paid off and have started throwing some money at her. Just finished paint matching and spraying one of those cheap eag grills to go with the new lights! Its amazing what some paint can do to transform a cheap part Getting ready to spray the wheels a gun metal color among many other things. Here is a little before and after and i am slowly falling in love all over again.

 

Pretty crazy upgrade today. Replaced the stock antenna with a TRD branded one from Amazon(because I am a TRD fanboy.) Looks decent, it was a lot smaller than I thought but oh well.

I also replaced the blower motor because the squeaking and ticking on low was driving me bonkers. I tried to follow the guide to rid of the noise but gave up after a couple of the find cracked, and figured I would retire the old one with honor after it served the truck for 15 years. I'm planning on keeping this truck a long time so might as well replace the things that bother me.

 

Nothing major, just replaced the fog lights with Cali-raised 2x2 white LEDS. Look pretty good I’m happy with the result

 

nice job. I want to do this also. Just need the time to do it all at once. Might have to piecemeal it.

 

How was your experience w/ factory battery? Mine only lasted barely 4yrs

 

You need the resistor block and a new plug with it. The contacts burn on the plug most of the time. Replace each wire one at a time on the plug.

 

Thanks for the information! I look forward to getting out into to snow, will be first! Hopefully I can get the tires soon, but either or with my stock tires or not.

 

Good to know honestly

 

I have the same ticking coming from my climate control also, a 2010. Hmm never really bothered me tho, my music is too loud to hear it haha

 

For what they cost vs. the "improvement" it made I'd say save your money for a different mod
