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

With the 4.0 4wd Ive gone thru a couple of rearmost u-joints.
Other than that just routine maintenance changes on the rest.

"Vintage"
"In original package"
No longer.

Prepare for the thrashing or your life antlered jack!
We gonna have us some fun.....

 

Be cautious with your warrantee period with the "Spec D" lights.....

 

Talk a look at it when it’s done. I just had mine done. It’s almost comical really. They coat the inside of the front of the frame with thick, white non-drying, non-permanent ook, then put a little plastic cap on. Problem solved. You can just wipe it off with a rag, and mine already coated with dirt and road grime. I thought it was going to be some sort of permanent fix. Nope.

 

What antenna is that?

 

What type of awning is that, any pictures of it opened up? Recommend it? Looks like the perfect size that I’m looking for

 

where did you get the black metal center cap decals?

 

I bought some "stubby" short antenna (probably off Amazon) and the reception for AM/FM was horrid..... I reinstalled the original one (what are they 2' tall?) and all stations were right back as they should be..... Good luck!

 

Looks like the ARB 1250

 

I'll never understand why Navy Chiefs have to broadcast their ranks to the world.

 

All done.

 

It's a Navy thing, my neighbor did the same thing to his truck.

 

I’d be a proud dude too if I made it to Chief. Nothing wrong with that.

 

Was wondering about reception too. Thanks for the info. I’ll keep my regular one.

 

I have been looking for that shifter knob but cannot find one. I have a 2006. Does anyone know if they make one for that year. I only see them for 2013 and up.

 

I got them from Etsy. Word of advice if you do get them, get flat. I am ordering another set because with the domed, you can only get the outer edges of adhesive to stick to the center cap. Also, 105mm is perfect for the center caps I have. Here’s the link!

I'm considering mounting something on the bed near the cab, because I just don't love the look of it on the passengers side of the front fender......

 

I’m not certain, but I believe any shift knob that fits a 12-15 will fit a 05-11 model as well.
Google 2015 Tacoma TRD shift knob and you’ll stumble upon the one I purchased. There’s a slew of others as well. The one I have is made for a scion. Toyota decided to throw it in the 2015 TRD pro model as a subtle addition to the interior package.

 

If you like the stubby look, here is the one I have. It is a good bit longer and has better reviews than that one. For me, reception is exactly the same as stock antenna. I would assume it could be different for anyone depending on location though. Here’s a decent look at it from a few steps back!

 

Installed HD dakars, U bolt flip kit, and timbren bumps. Only took about 2.5 hours, they ride amazing for having no weight in the bed. Looks a million times better now having the rear lifted more. Can finally turn up the coilovers more.

 

@EatSleepTacos ordered thanks I have been taking my best top off to get inspected now I only have to worry about the chopped exhaust with the topper but being a soft top hopefully it won't count. It kinda bothered me not having the brake light especially after putting the spare on the swingout
