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

Changed the spark plugs on my 2012 TRD OR. Looks like they hadn’t been done before, even though the previous owner said they were good. They were orginal, crusty as hell and gapped at about .055 - now I’m excited for a test drive.

 

Depends on what kinds of trails you do and how comfortable you are working on your truck. While elockers are more reliable they don't engage immediately, but arbs engage almost immediately but they are prone to air leaks.
For me I've come to the conclusion that an elocker rear and a front arb would be ideal.

 

Finished de-chrome my 09 double cab long bed!!!!

 

View from the back!!!!

 

Removed the drivers door harness and added power mirror wiring (still need to do the passenger door). Ran power mirror wires to both doors. Installed the panels in front of the shifter, below the radio and around the cluster. Ran all the switch wiring and power mirror wiring to the fuse box (not hooked up yet).


Removed the moisture barrier from both doors. Going to put some sound deadening sheets in the doors. I have new butyl and moisture barrier to go back in.

 

Gets dark quick these days. Got these in no time to spare

 

Been doing some modeling while I'm waiting for the next prototype to finish printing. It's looking really good so far. Got a 4 switch option done.

 

Think I’m leaning towards the electronic e locker in the rear right now

 

Installed custom wireless charger courtesy of @ThreatLevelMidnight. Diggin it!

 

Please tell me you'll be selling those....

 

That's the plan. Just dialing in the fitment. There are a few pictures of the first 2 I made further back in the thread.

 

Yea think I saw those. Lookin good!

 

Tested out the new gear (unfortunately none of the recovery equipment lol) with some friends on Wildcat Mountain within Hidden Falls in Marble Falls, Texas.

Had a blast, set up a small camp for lunch and break with minimal time mid-trail with all of our gear! Have a happy labor day y'all!

 

Took a trip up to lake Almanor.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Pulled this dude out. He was SO close to rolling over this bank. Would have been the end of him and his 4Runner. If you look closely, you can see his front drivers tire is off the ground. That come along is hooked to like a 3-4 inch diameter pine tree. If it had broken, who knows what would have happened.





The front drivers tire lifted higher and higher as I winched him. Had to tighten the come a long to keep that tire close to the ground.

 

Yesterday installed probably my favorite mod, Desert Does It front seat jackers. Completely transformed the comfort of the front seat. I didn’t really have any complaints prior but decided to try them out anyway, and I am very glad I did.

 

How tall are you? I installed some spacers in the rear but it didn’t help much

 

I am 6’3”. I wanted to keep the rear the same so it didn’t bring my head any closer to the roof. These made it to where my legs now actually sit on the seat. Prior they wouldn’t hardly touch at all. With these installed on the front and leaving the rear alone it made it feel like a whole new seat.

 

Looks great man!
