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

New rear camera since the original got moisture inside. It’s never quit working but cloudy after it dried inside. Ordered the cheaper one on Amazon, turns out to be the same a the original. Satisfied with that.

Is there a thread that shows how to swap to a 2015 interior (assuming it isn't just the same mounting points and all)? It looks great

 

Cleaned my roof (removed the old sound deadener). Taking measurements to install new stuff.

It was pretty easy to swap out the radio surround. i would look into using a Hilux 4x4 switch. it works great, but install requires buying a ring from a member here, or trying to make something yourself... i opted to cut up a pvc endpiece and it happened to be perfect!

 

Installed my OEM Roof Rack. Wow. 30 min job took almost 2 hours. I finally got everything lined up and bolted down. Thought I had the passenger side done when I heard a clank noise while putting the last part (crossbar) on. The threaded bracket for the bolt that holds the crossbar to the rack fell out of its clip in place. Had to take that whole side back off and restart. Very meticulous and annoying, but I got it. Lol

 

@HasbroGamer for the HVAC, this is a good one too: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-2005-2011-tacoma.445857/page-3#post-25363207

 

is anyone making the plug n play kit anymore?

 

Not that I know anymore. But every step of the process is available in those threads. Pretty easy diy

Edit: '08 and down requires some soldering on the HVAC circuit board because of a difference in polarity compared to '09 & up.

 

I have never done anything like I did to the board on my hvac unit. I'm glad I practiced on my old one first! That was definitely the hardest thing to do out of the whole project

 

Bed stiffeners

 

Ya, I'm glad I didn't have to deal with that.

 

It it catches fire I'll throw some diesel on it.

KIDDING!!!

UNI Filter.....

 

yeah I kept cranking it, probably don’t need to do that and I’ll probably back mine off a bit now that you mentioned it. I was using a 1/2 socket and wrench so turning was a bit easier. I always manage to over wrench when using 1/2 instead of 3/8 lol

 

Built a cheap little sleeping platform and finally got around to tossing on my HD Dakars. Hoping they settle quite a bit. Just over 3” of rake now so it looks a little silly

 

This mod takes me back. Simpler times back then.

 

Hauled furniture, lumber, installed some HELLA bright LED DRL’s and cab lights and then some LED landscape lights

 

I always liked that look. Much better then a light bar in my opinion.

 

I know you've posted pics of your truck before but every time I see it I just gotta say, hot damn
