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

Where did you get the leather for this? My steering wheel is ripped and has a cover on it. This would be WAY better.

 

Did a couple things:
- Replaced my gas tank straps, since one was damaged from my lift bracket
- Installed the Anytime Backup Camera (which I don't really care for, I'll explain later)

As you can see, the strap was getting hit by the leaf spring bracket. You can see I painted over the gouge mainly to see if my bracket cutting and corrections worked. It was a HS 3 leaf progressive and HS has since resolved this issue on their newer leafs. For me, I cut the bracket down and it's no longer an issue. Honestly, thank goodness it hit the strap and not the plastic tank as it would've gouged the crap out of the tank and had a bigger problem.

Here's where I located the front camera:


After having this on for several weeks, the setup does work, but I expected more benefit out of it. The field of view isn't good (even after adjusting is several times and to different locations). I thought I could use it off road more, but really it's more of a parking assistance if anything. I hate to say it, but if I could do it all over again I wouldn't have gotten it. I'd say, save your money. Toyota's rear camera is much better and I wish I could replace the front to that. Maybe I'll eventually give that a try.

 

Can you get the rubber floor for the AC or do you just want carpet?

 

Nice job! What brand cover is that?
I sewed on the wheelskin brand on mines and even though it's not as nice and fitted as yours, it does feel much better than the basic wheel covers you grab from the store.

 

You used to be able to but I don’t think anymore. And I went aftermarket for the carpet. Was $250 vs about $500 for oem.

 

Oh that's not a bad deal at all

 

Nice! What shrouds you go with? Currently waiting for mine from BX Built

 

Nope. Best part is I purchased it Monday and it’s arriving tomorrow. And it’s made to order. Talk about a fast turnaround.

 

Add a jerry can mount to my swing arm.

 

hell I'm trying to get some parts for my MIL Hyundai and nobody has them so yes that's pretty damn good

 

Funny you mention that. Lol. These will work with the bed rails. They might need to be a bit thicker though. I'm costing it out this week. Shoot me a message if you're interested.

Thanks man! Tbh I was pretty slizzard one night and ordered whatever I saw. I did see a few covers where it was perforated in particular areas but I believe it is specific to 3rd gen.. nonetheless, steering feels substantially better, call it snake oil if you want but my steering confidence has increased significantly after this mod.

Here's the eBay link I got it from:

Honestly it was alot more fun than I thought. Very worthwhile during these times lol

 

I valved the spigot, from the basement, for Hot soft water. Betty got her first bath since we moved.

 

@That_red_taco it's my design that I have laser cut and sell through my side hustle. G3 Fabrication. Shoot me a pm if you want more info.

 

I am frightened of doing the roof..

There was a recall for my 2010, something about the leaf springs and the gas tank. I got it done maybe 2 years ago .

 

Installed new tonneau and voodoo bars! Pretty slick.

 

I have the same cover and was looking into a similar setup! Any leaking from the bedsides? Also is it easily to take off the middle bars when you need to open your tonneau?

 

What headlights are those?

 

Will Vinyl work?
