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

Giving the truck some love,

 

I contemplated the center console vent. I’m putting a 3 gang rocker panel back there that also has cigarette lighter and USB. I’m gonna wire my white interior lights there that in most cases will be in close proximity to the blues...il give some provision for the whites to light up the rear floors. The rest of the rocker will be for rear lights and probably under car work lights or something.

 

Oil change in the morning, and received a COVID-delayed order from AutoAnything that I made back in October.

 

Since Covid has hit our house I'm off work for a couple weeks. I was able to mess around with the riser bracket today and got it to work with the electronic mirror. I had to remove both plastic shroud pieces and stuff the wire and connector up into the roof liner to make it fit. I also put a piece of double sided Gorilla tape on the backside of the bracket for added support. I'm 5'11" so the mirror was tolerable, but this is SO much better now.

 

OK I have to ask as this is my next mission.....It was Chrome? and you did what? Bed Liner? Paint? Was it Chrome? Did you Etch it if it was etc...Much Appreciated! My Last piece of Chrome!

 

where'd you get the sticker?

 

Thats good to hear..

And thank you man, its a money pit lol

 

The rear bumper was chrome yes, but I just used Matte black plastidip

 

just one,, it covers both sides,,, from the top front hinge of the door up to the top rear end of the passenger door,, 2 more feet extra

 

Yeah I have had to cut 3 of the 4 cam bolts up front because they were seized in some form, going to have to cut the front coil off the LCA on the passenger side because that bolt is seized in place as well, cut both of the rear struts out to install the new cause they were seized, LBJ's were seized to the point I cant press them out. Had to order all new parts for the lower control arms and fittings. At least everything else has broken free and a little wire brush and anti-seize and they go back in just fine. Rock Auto probably thinks I'm crazy, with 4 orders in 2 days because I keep getting to a new spot and some thing is seized.

I bought a can of Fluid Film when I was returning the ball joint press to Oreilys and I plan to hit ALL of the new parts with it. Side note since I am waiting on all the front end stuff I got 90% of the rear end done.
Icon RXT's Option 2
B110's
Firestone Ride-Rites reinstalled
Carrier bearing drop kit

Got under the truck to look at the rear brake lines to replace them with extended brake lines and the fittings are pretty corroded as well. Put my flare nut wrench on it and they started to strip so I might be grabbing some vice grips to break them loose. I don't enjoy messing with brake lines so I am on edge about using vice grips.

 

we get that salt brine sprayed down ANY time the weather is supposed to be below freezing any any storm comes our way. I hate it

 

What bumper did you go with?

 

Installed knock-off S-Pod on a custom purple tray. Getting ready for future AUX lights.

 

Phantom HC from Warfab.

 

backroads i noticed beam was much more prominent then stocks they do look “brighter/whiter” then stocks is that good or bad? I did have a car flash his highs at me ‍♀️

 

Thanks for the follow up. Today I bit the bullet and ordered the parts for the "ultimate headlight upgrade", minus the new housing. Hope you had a good day boarding!

 

Ebay can't remember the site but I'll try to get it tomorrow morning

 

Threw the new med pack in the truck (bought two, one for the girlfriend's rig) This little guy is loaded compared to the cheapie red med packs. And it's my favorite color

 

weather was great. Line ups long conditions icy not the best day but still better then no days boarding haha

I did a time lapse this morning with the GoPro of my trip to Louise and back and if you look at some of the dark shots you can get an idea
