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

Damn! That’s good to hear. Also, I should’ve just cleaned that sucker out lol that’s awesome though, glad things are looking better for it.

 

I took a picture of my '13 with something other than my cell phone.

 

awesome picture man!

 

thanks! I had to break out the "good glass"

 

Moved my in-laws today. Bunch of furniture and a king size bed. I swear I had the hardest working Tacoma in the whole parish today but they’re 80% done in one day.

 

I like it! Did the same thing today!

 

Digging the ambers!

 

A simple mod, installed 2 USB charger ports. One replacing a "12 volt socket" up front, and one in the rear end of the center console for the kid.

Getting to the bottom center panel on the dash was quite an adventure:


It was worth it, we have nice new ports now, with voltage readouts!
Front:


And the rear end of the center console (voltages are different because the rear is running off of an auxiliary battery in the bed.):

 

This is on my list of things to do. Just got to sort out if my driveline issues are transmission or something less expensive and sinister.

 

does anyone put hooks on that inner bolt?
I tried to on mine using spare OEM cargo hooks. But the bolt was too short so I threw them away.
Maybe another day if I can find the same bolt but longer. And with better quality D-rings/cargo hooks such as OEM Mopar from a Dodge Sprinter Van.
Because those are circular and can fold out of the way whereas OEM can't.
(though the Sprinter ones do stay pretty firm and require prying up with a flathead to get them up from the bed to use)

how hard is it to remove the eccentric bolts? Mine still turn to align it, but it's hard even after heat and penetrating oil
been wanting to take them out just to clean them up with a wire wheel/brush, coat them with anti-size, and put them back in

 

Went off-roading today in hidden falls adventure park (Texas) not a fan of going up cliffs and trails with my prerunner

 

I am not usually a fan of modded Tacoma's...but this one I really like. Beautiful rig my friend.

 

What light is in the bumper?

 

On Saturday:
I started wiring the connectors for my radio/navigation install (had to wait on wire).
I ran the correct size wire from the ECM for cruise (other wire was too thick and wouldn't go into the spiral cable connector).
Tightened down the XM antenna and ran the cable with the AM/FM antenna cable.

I also ordered some terminals for the factory relay box (the small one on well equipped trucks). My truck didn't come with one but I'm adding it and using it for: inverter, fog lights and bed lights. That will leave me with two spots open. The rest of the lights will be on a stand alone relay box (Bussmann).

More stuff planned for today.

 

Me reading this thinking how many people going to know what you’re talking about “parish”?

 

Thanks man, I appreciate you saying that

 

"I can see clearly now, the haze is gone..."

Replaced my OEM's with some DEPO's due to internal hazing, tossed in Osram Night Breakers and will get around to putting in my LED DRLs (not switchbacks) today if I can figure out which specific wires I need to tap into for the load resistors (left my test light at work)

thanks man! as someone that lives in the north east and deals with a lot of snow ive really come to love amber light...in snowing or whiteout, or even conditions with heavy rain the amber doesn't blind and allows me to see contours much better...you loose all depth perception with the white light!

 

I've never heard it called that before, but whatever couples do on their own is fine by me!
