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

Nice truck

 

That’s my exact thought on them. If I wasn’t shopping for UCAs, I’d take the gamble.

 

I mean they look nice. I wonder what the price and reviews look like. I tend to stick with OPT7 or Spyder for after market head lights and never had an issue. But your truck your choice!

Check these out, these are my favorite aftermarket headlight style for the 2.5:

Nice looking regular cab by the way

 

Major mod planned for today.

Last set lasted 2 years (10 total months of winter).

 

Underrated mod here

 

Indeed. I've found that these last much longer than the other comparable wipers (Bosch Icon, etc.). Those would only last a year. I pick them up when I get a 25% off parts coupon from my dealership.

 

I guess I need to proofread better with this crowd lol

That’s the one I got as well. Thanks for the link to the taller one.

 

I do not know the hot wire from the trac relay is for. That one is a first for me. But I do know about cleaning the MAF and throttle body. I clean mine every 15k miles. Here is a picture and its 10mm all the way through if I remember correctly. Other than the 2 clips that hold the air box shut. You just take it apart and put it back together. One product is in the picture, the other is in the link. I prefer the shoe wedge and old tooth brush method. I also bungee the air filter to keep it out of the way. I stuff a rag in the back side to keep the throttle body open and to catch over spray. This stuff is highly corrosive and you do not want to get it everywhere. And wear gloves if you live in California, LoL seriously though wear gloves if you have them.

I get the same wipers, with the coupon from my dealership. I to find them to last longer than most brand at the auto parts store.

I replace them at the 2 years mark. The wipers would probably last longer.

 

Beautiful truck! I have two questions for you, what antenna mount is that and how helpful has the black vinyl been to cut down on glare?

 

$49 Nagoya RB-700N Premium NMO Lip Mount for Antennas - Multi-Axis Adjustable, No-Drill Installation for Trucks, SUVs, Cars - includes 20' RG-58A/U Cable & PL-259 Connector, with Protective Rain Cap

NMO Lip Mount

The matte vinyl cuts glare very well, both from the sun and the light bar. Light bar was basically unusable on a dark trail with a white hood before.

 

I upgraded to the new style 7:4 pin and move it up in to the bumper.





Relocated the factory 7 pin plug up under the bed and connected the two plugs with a custom jumper which included a connection for a led tailgate bar.

I like where this is going.

 

What did these cost? I'm assuming you got them from the stealership?

 

Yes. I believe they were/are $22 each before the 25% off coupon.

 

That's not that bad. I've always used rainx wipers on all my vehicles & Replaced every spring regardless if they need changed or not

 

This is my 2nd set of these. I also plan on replacing annually (cheap investment for good visibility). I bought this set a year ago, but didn't install as the others were fine. I did run a rag with some alcohol along the blade, that removed some gunk/debris. Still would have been fine for the extra year.

I do run Rain-X washer fluid year round.

 

what did you do to secure the OEM 7 pin and bracket under the bed like that? also the adapter harness plugs into the OEM 7 plug and then into the new 7/4?

 

Has to be installed but I want to put the bags on it first but my @MESO designs molle rack finally came

 

I'm thinking about ordering the Mobtown tailgate reinforcement plate. I'm not loading anything routinely into the bed, just want a stronger tailgate for when loading random things that might bend it. Not sure I need the tailgate cap. Any feedback on needing the tailgate cap? That's another $109. Thanks!
