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

Where did you get the fog light switch? I'm looking at the FJ Cruiser fog switch mod, but it's expensive and the one you have looks to have an indicator of when the fogs are on.

 

We tested out the $100 Amazon awning this past weekend. Seems to work pretty well. I could see it getting broken pretty easily though.

 

Link?

 

Sweet chairs and solar set-up

 

Picked up this guy today. A bit overkill to use a pickup to take home a clownfish LOL.

 

What size tires are those?

I'd like to think that you drank some moonshine in that spot

 

if its any consolation the Brand name ARB feels the same way. does a decent job but it really can't handle much wind at all..
Edit. in fact that awning looks IDENTICAL to the arb in every way. Nice to know there is a cheaper replacement product out there!

 

Preformed a CMC on my taco and removed sway bar. No more rub! And it drives better without sway bar on and off road. I still need to clean up the welds with a grinder and spray paint it.

 

Been a while.. but I recently got my Switch Pros installed. Super stoked on that.



Install was super straight forward. I'm not super electrical savvy, but I just followed a Youtube tutorial. I used the Power Trays mount that incorporates the Deep Sea 6 fuse block.



Went in on the @SDHQ OFFROAD universal mount for the panel and it fit PERFECTLY on my center. I already had a cutout there for 4 switches I had previously, just had to drill 4 corner holes.



Finished product. Still waiting on vertical stickers, but it's so nice to have everything right there at my fingertips and the bluetooth connectivity is a game changer for lazy camping.



I also ran wiring and installed a direct power source for the new

Turned out clean



Bigger than I thought



Time to delete the stock sub and upgrade to some quality speakers.

Any recommendations for a 2010 AC?

 

Mine dont look any different, we will just have a pic of your rims and my twin sticks

 

Upgrade the door speakers for sure and then I suggest getting a under the seat sub/amp combo. I have one and love it, freed up a crap load of space. Remove that back panel and you'll be in business

 

Awesome! What amp/sub combo are you running? I'm almost to removing the rear panel amd sound deadening everything. Not quite there yet.

 

Nice, super easy process. I rarely ever had people sit back there and if they did, they complained lol. Also, having extra room for the dogs and more storage was the kicker. So I deleted everything except for the belt side of the seatbelts. Belts and sound dampening are next on the list.

This is where I'm currently at with the delete. I bought a 3" rubber mat, trimmed it and mounted it with heavy duty velcro. The rubber mat covered up the metal nicely and softened the cab vent noise till I finish everything. I'm still going back and forth with removing the rear center console because I want to make a platform exactly like yours.



I bought a Rockville USS8 8" 600w Slim Under-Seat Sub+Amp and 6x9 Pioneer TS-G690 for the doors. I'm not into a crazy amount of bass anymore so the sound quality is perfect for me. The only negative thing I can say about the sub+amp is the low bass tones are non existent.

 

Had to tear apart the headlights again and redo them. The original shroud I bought was too short, and you could see the bare bulb from certain angles, causing glare. So I bought longer shrouds and decided to paint the entire inside of the housing Magnetic grey metallic to match the truck. I think it came out way better!

 

Came with the fog housings I bought. I didn't use their wiring harness since my 09 came wired. In order to make it work I had to make some adjustments. It is lit when the lights are off to remind me I can turn them on, it is off when the lights are on.

I’ve always liked those wheels, just hated having to polish the ones I had 3-4 times a year!

 

Glad Nemo is home safe

 

Just remember you get what you pay for. ARB has been making these for years and have done a lot of R&D on them and they stand by their products. The first time I used my awning, not sure if my gf ran into it or what but one of the poles bent and I couldn't get it to go back in. I emailed ARB and they sent me a brand new leg within a week. No questions asked. Also if you guy the awning out and stake in down they can handle a lot more wind then youd think.
