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

I think you're seeing his ditch light. Looks like it's on top of the "air intake"...had me going for a second too.

Or are you talking about the bug shield?

 

Haha yep, came with the truck too. Still on the fence. I think I'm getting 5 more HP and 10 more MPG with it though. Got used to it over the years like the window flares. Never had those before either. I'm really fast now.

 

It does work in the spring and summer here. Bugs are plentiful in the mountains too.

 

Got new shoes. Went up from stock 265/65 to 265/70 BFG’s

 

Upgrades

 

@TOTAL CHAOS cam tab gussets courtesy of @ adventurefab on Instagram. I can finally stop getting alignments every 2 months lol

 

I bubba'd in an AC plug port in my grille under where the emblem clips in, so I have a more aesthetic way of having my block heater and trickle charger plugged in at the same time. Emblem is currently just glued on to the port plug cover so we'll have to see how well it holds up.

 

Flushed the power steering fluid with MaxLife

 

Ordered a couple of these to replace the beat up beige ones.

 

oof have fun pulling your dash apart to swap those. So much disassembly just to get to the 12v sockets.

 

Sickkkk

 

Ya lol no big deal. I've pulled everything apart so many times now.

 

I know that feeling. It's not a big deal, just kinda annoying.

 

Agreed. Must of been a behind closed doors manufacturer inside joke lol "they'll enjoy the puzzle, F 'em"

 

Whats the scoop with your alignment cams?

these but for the 05-15 Tacoma

 

I've popped out the sockets in my truck before (to get to the wiring behind them). Are they not supposed to pop out?
It took some effort, but I did not have to take anything else apart

 

Some have had luck, others not so much. I ripped those flimsy things out and threw them away.
