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

Mine has those, I assume the previous owner painted the stock alloy wheels black because it’s starting to chip off.

 

Polished and waxed

 

Damn that looks good! Did you do your plane also I bet that took a while

 

Spruce mica = best color

 

Ha! Wish it was my plane. If I could afford the $50 million for that plane my Tacoma would look a lot different

 

I figured but a cool photo spot

 

What's not to like about FREE?!

 

First project today: UBI-filter mod.

 

Small preview of what I’ve been doing.

 

Got the new billiard ball shift knob installed, much better than the stock piece!

Has anyone used the Sick Speed boot retainer with the factory boot? As far as I can tell, there isn’t anything in the top that would keep it in the groove, would probably have to use an O-ring to hold it there...

 

Nothing big this weekend, just a license plate holder.
Now I just need to save up for a winch.

 

Damn you polished and waxed an entire private jet? Your hands must be killing you!

 

I was thinking about painting it to match or black bed liner so it would match the rest of the black on the truck.

 

Full detail on interior and cleaned/treated my bed mat (almost 10 yrs old) which was pretty worn & faded even with having a cap (formerly) and now a Tonneau Cover.





Meguiar's for the interior plastic:


Used this on the bed mat:

 

I've never had a bed mat.

Are they secured somehow? If not, are they at risk of lifting/flying out at highway speeds?

 

I've never secured mine as I've had a cap or tonneau cover. They're too heavy to lift/fly out. Some secure them using the existing bed bolts or drill new holes for bolts & large washers.

 

I usually secure anything in my bed but it didn't even cross my mind that the mat could fly out, its plenty heavy enough for that to not be an issue.

 

Wired up the ROK40s from Lightforce. Drilled a hole right into the cap and siliconed around it to keep water out. Then ran the wires to a power source I have in the bed with a switch.

 

Project #2 today:
Installed my Viair compressor on the Slee Offroad ARB bracket. I made a small aluminum plate to allow the Viair compresssor to bolt down on the Slee bracket. It’s getting real tight now with the Aux battery on the OGE bracket and the ViAIR compressor on the Slee bracket. Other side has stock battery and Blue Sea 12 circuit aux fuse panel. I don’t have a final location/mount for the air manifold so it’s just zip tied. No air lockers just OBA for tires and toys.

Compressor mount.


Everything back in place, compressor relay zip tied to washer fluid res mounting tab.


Overhead switch that energizes the compressor relay.

 

Hey everybody hope you are all doing well! Haven’t posted since trading in the old truck and found 3 of the tire pressure monitors they worked when I took them out last year I’ll send them to anyone interested PM me your address!
