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

That looks great!

 

Thanks, I was able to determine that it was just due to lot's of short trips in cold weather. I drained the oil yesterday after a long trip and, other than being dirty, it looked good...

 

Well be sure to watch your coolant levels. If it creeps down you may have an issue.

 

What are your AC knobs?

Installed the OG Fab Center Console Molle Panel. As far as my gf knows, I had to have this to store all the Nebo flashlights and cool nic nacs she gets me for Christmas. (Mostly wanted because let’s be honest.. it looks cool as hell and I can put my pistol on it). All seriousness, OG Fab did a wonderful job with the design and install was extremely easy.

 

What bumper is that? Looks good!

 

How did you wire it up? I've been considering do this with the rigid ignite lights for a sleeker look, but still in the same mounting point that you have.

 

Nothing major. Hid the

midland MXT275 and made it plugin to a switch blank.

 

Thanks @superman2481 ,I stared @ your taillights too long.....so I installed a pair. I think they go really well with MGM color. Plus they gave me the mil discount. Oh, and there is no hyper flash—there is a large resistor mounted on back of the taillights.

I'll do my best to illustrate and explain.

The three position switch is mounted in the center console ina 3/4" hole. It has 4 wires connecting to it, RED is connected to the relay. BLACK is connected to the relay. BLUE is connected to the relay. White skips the relay and taps in ALL THE WAY to the taillight reverse light RED positive wire.

The Ground for the relay has a ring terminal grounded under the front seat between the 2 front 14mm bolts. The relay red positive has a quick disconnect to fit through the firewall grommet, to the battery positive. At this point you must CUT the 2 red and 2 black wires inside the loom to fit through the grommet, BUT NOT ALL AT ONCE because you need to reconnect them with solder or butt connectors inside the vehicle so its weather proof. White wire can be pulled all the way through and does not need to be cut because it has a bare wire end that's easy to fit through.

When you reach the end of the truck, the white wire will tap into the reverse bulbs RED wire using a T Tap. This turns your lights on when in reverse, with the 3 position switch set to AUTO.

 

Today I changed the oil

 

Made a platform (or two) for my double cab a few months ago and have been trying to get everything squared away to make it an official business. Today I can finally show my creation to you guys as everything is finally live. And yes they are for sale, check out my post in the B/S/T section (both 2nd and 3rd gen) if you are interested in one, or want to read more info about it!

 

Hell yeah Sang,

Painted the red rings on my ARB intensity knockoffs black, took off the dumb orange tow hooks as well.
Kinda bummed, truck is riding like shit after my trip to the mountains, maybe its just me, truck feels buzzy and sloppy and harsh at low speeds, in love with the amount of lift but I think peicing together a suspension without a goal was a mistake and will probably cost me thousands more to fix. Could be the dakars with no weight, or that the truck has 220k and is just worn out.

 

Found a dead mouse in my skid plate today...

 

Last time I pulled mine, I found a dead bird

 

Pulled my suspension on Saturday. Shipped out to Cali today for rebuild/revalve
