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

AC light started blinking on me at the beginning of summer, of course right. Replaced the magnetic clutch relay, no dice, Replaced the compressor pickup sensor this afternoon, and we’re back in business baby!

 

Got my front diff back from ECGS. Sent it off to have an ARB locker added. Got it mounted up and all the hoses plumbed. All that’s left is fill it with gear oil and mount my skid and I’m ready to party this weekend.

I opted for a pneumatic switch from powertank to run my locker direct from my powertank. Cheaper, easier, and no electronics to fail.

 

Ya, wheel chair, crane, handicap placard etc. Even the cop finally realized the owner, who was in the passenger seat had no legs.

 

Installed an always on USB charger in the center console to keep my Android for Ham radio APRS charged. It stays in the truck. It’s powered from my aux fuse box and aux battery so it could run for months.

 

Debadged, new OEM smoked headlights put in and added the ram mount A-pillar mod.

Looking for some textured black door handles if anyone knows anyone.

 

got a motor to replace my blown head gasket..
2015 engine 3k miles

 

Upgraded to +4 fiberglass, +2 mcneil's weren't wide enough and smashed the fenders pretty good first time out in the mountains. going to prep for paint this weekend

 

I bought my Taco a week ago. This is why you should change the Cabin air filter.

 

on the fronts, after trimming off the inch or two of the flare, and there by cutting away the tabs that i'm pointing to, once re-attaching the flare, is there any connection between those bent back tabs of the body metal and the bottom of the now cut plastic fender flare?

 

Picked up the next components in my stereo upgrade project. Already over budget so sadly after I get these installed it will probably be awhile before I can continue. I’m not expecting to see a big improvement until I get the rear access doors done and get them amplified but hopefully there be a small increase in overall sound quality.

 

I like the evolution of "ON" being thrown in the cup holder and replaced with "its time to party"

 

You’re truck went from clean to super clean looking. Can’t wait to see it all painted.

 

Mine aren't for sale but 2006 Prerunner SR5 door handles are textured and black. It might help you in your search.

 

After a few beers it seemed like a more appropriate label

 

No there isn't... I haven't seen anyone do that but the flares stay connected just fine via the clips at the top.

 

Im looking for some help on this before I totally screw it up.....

I recently got a used Prinsu Accessrac and am in need of some help. I am going to mount it this coming weekend, but living in the PNW my biggest concern is sealing it.

I bought some permatex rtv silicone as it is what I’ve seen prinsu recommend (or just rtv in general). What’s the best way to seal the rivnuts/plusnuts? Is the rtv the best? Or is there another product I should use? And how do I go about sealing it?

 

I've got my old set somewhere... i think

 

Pretty easy to replace this sensor? My A/C blinks sporadically and I've already replaced the relay as well.

 

I used

$30 3m 5200 (06504) Permanent Bonding and Sealing for Boats and RVs Above and Below the Waterline Waterproof Repair, Black, 10 fl oz Cartridge

3m 5200, its a marine polyurethane. They make it in a couple different cure times and bond strengths. The stuff works wonders for sealing things up, I use it on commercial fishing boats all the time.

 

It was a pain in the ass, but more than doable. My patience was already running low when I started the job so you’ll probably be much better off than me. I think I was able to finagle the old sensor off in under an hour. Use a flat head screwdriver to disengage the sensor connection point and be super patient.
If you shop around on Toyota online parts you can find a sensor for around $90.00. I think MSRP is $120.00.
