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

Got the CMC and pinch weld taken care of in preparation for 285's. @Dcsleeper408 was able to get me into his shop and did a helluva job. Highly recommend him if you're in the bay area.



Also replaced the sway bar end links and threw on the diff breather mod from @Blais03 which was a super easy install.

 

I removed my rear folders and tops for the storage. Did a deep clean on the area and vaccuumed.



Drilled a couple of holes for nutserts and popped a couple of those in to mount my new safe.



Filled it all up and organized the new tool box. Did the "seat mod" and that provided enough space to slide a full socket set under the drivers seat.



Cut a piece of 1/4" plywood to fit and layed some carpet on with 3M adhesive spray. Overall I am pretty happy with the outcome and glad I didn't pay $800 for the Goose Gear set up.



I stole all of these ideas and products from this thread:

Looks good! Really opened the cab up huh? You should pop those headrests out too. It really made a difference in mine. I'll be making a platform soon as well, nice work

 

Nice!! I'll probably tackle that tomorrow! Need as much space as I can get with that factory sub. I bought used and it came with the truck. Makes an alright rumble. I think it's worth it to work around it.

 

Helped a friend move out of their office today.



When I got home debadged the smaller emblems on the tailgate and repainted the others flat gray again. Damn eleven year old adhesive started to rip the paint off.



Then this happened... this stupid B-hole tried to harass my buddies store and customers. People are unbelievable...

 

Ya, I figured the sub would get in the way. You could always relocate it!

 

Wow. Fuck that guy.

I hope your paint turned out okay. Lovin the flat grey too.

Getting the full use out of that bed.

 

Ya humans suck...

I missed it lol I was rocking this for a bit, but it just didn't match right.



Ya "I" got the full use outta my truck bed lol

 

Thank you for that info! I have not found very much info about how this works/ fits/ might need to be bent some to perfect in these forums.... most everyone has a Crawl box and Twin Sticks..... I considered the twin sticks but just want to keep it simple and get the damn thing working again....

What did you do with your ADD actuator?

 

Sure thing, yeah I had trouble determining whether or not it would fit too.

I did the ADD delete with the AWD FJ cruiser diff tube. Works perfect, but requires a little wiring to get the dash lights working properly again

 

I'm on the fence with that part of the overall mod... but leaning that way since the (ADD) actuator is the weak link in this OEM set up. I assume you just followed along one of the several links and got it all working correctly in the end.
So no real issues with the Input shaft swap in the case and the Diff tube swap over?.... I guess i'm looking for a FJ Diff tube...

 

No worries bud!

 

It will buff out.

 

No issues with the ADD install, followed the thread on TW. I did it for that reason, the actuator is a weak point on the stock setup. Ditch the ADD actuator and the t-case actuator and you've got a much more reliable setup imo

 

@sandalglue is a stand up guy -- easy transaction. Thanks back.

 

How is that factory subwoofer?

 

Bumper raptor lined, @CaliRaisedLed flush mounts installed, bumper reinstalled this morning.

Just need to finish wiring in the cab, and it’s done for now. New bumper brackets are on the way too to fix the lean.
Raptor liner FTW.

 

It's alright. Nothing to to write home about, but it gives out some good lows. I can't say i've ever had a sub before to compare it to. It's definitely not the two 15s my buddy had in HS. It's definitely better than the stock system I had in my 2010 Impreza. Lol

 

how big is your lift? thing looks like it sits really high.

 

Man, that IS a great deal!
