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

Funny! Made me chukle.

 

I machined up a couple of T Slot nuts for the bed rails so I can attach Quickfists for my shovel.

 

link to center console cover pls. thanks

 

I knocked out both the Unifilter mod and the Fog Light anytime mod today. The SAIS is relocated to the front of the engine bay because of the CAI. As far as the fog light mod, I tapped into the Batt Charge relay, and everything seems to functioning as it's supposed to. The yellow fogs will look sick when I get them.

 

2011 Tacoma TRD 4x4 Off Road 4dr, Mica Green shortbed—-owned this baby since 1/1/2011 and just upgraded the entire JBL stereo—-Sony AX3000 HU, kicker 4ch amp 65w/ch to all 4 doors (dynamatted inside and out) installed infinity Reference component 6x9 in front and infinity Reference component 6.5 in rear, installed tweeters for rear doors on rear upper corner of door covers, and replaced 8” sub with 8” JBL 810 stage sub and powering it off kicker 400.1 mono amp, only puts out 150w in 4 ohm but man what a difference—sounds really good

 

Any pics of your setup? I just picked up a stock JBL sub enclosure to replace it with a sub when i do the other speakers. Mine is non JBL but i figured the box would be perfect for adding a sub.

 

Sending the truck in for alignment tomorrow. Now that its sitting in the drive I noticed an oil drip on the cement. Looks like around the cv axle where the ECGS bushing installed. Didn't replace the seal when I installed the bushing, hopefully I just overfilled the diff. Sprayed it with brake clean and wiped everything down, will have to check it tomorrow morning to see if its still leaking. soooo not looking forward to tearing that thing apart again.

 

New sticker that reflects my truck’s “drinking problem”...

Measured from fender to ground centered over the hub and these are my measurements. Before and after were both taken on 265/70/16 tires, and the after measurements I had only driven around the block, I’m sure it has settled a little since then.

front
drivers side 33 3/4 increased to 36 3/4
3 inches lift
Pass side 34 1/4 increased to 37 1/2
3 1/4 inches lift

rear
Drivers side 34 3/4 increased to 38
3 1/4 inches lift
Pass side 35 1/4 increased to 38 3/4
3 1/2 inches of lift

 

Soooooo, this morning I drained my transmission pan, dropped the oil pan, cleaned the pan, cleaned the magnets, replaced the transmission filter, replaced the oil pan gasket, torqued everything down to spec, then started pumping new transmission fluid, made it through two complete quarts and two pumps of number three quart before I realized, I FORGOT TO PUT THE FUCKING MAGNETS BACK IN THE PAN
Thanks for listening y’all

 

What light bar do you have behind your lower grill? How are you liking it? Easy to mount? I've been toying with the idea of installing one down there.

 

I bet a lot of people would be interested in buying those.

 

Got the TRD pro grill and color matched the chrome

 

The one from CaliRaised. It came with the wiring harness and mounting brackets. It's pretty easy to install, but you have to remove the grill tondo so. I really like it and it's very bright.

 

T-slot nuts are pretty abundant and relatively cheap. I just assumed he made them himself because he could (I would do the same if I had a mill).
