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

Rolled past 90k miles on the odometer

 

I love it, nice work brother.

 

Appreciate it, thanks for help with the chop

 

I did not have an error—-hyper flash. They were plug-n-play from Tacomabeast. There is a large black resister mounted on the taillights from factory (Alpharex). Made in Taiwan. If your having trouble with hyper flash, make sure your connections are pushed all the way on.

Added extensions to the front seats.
I like the fit, but need more seat time.

May redesign the mounts to be a bit shorter...

 

what kit are you using for the mirrors?

 

Dual Sharptones and Dual Supertones Installed. Going to make a Youtube video on how I wired it up... It is very fricken LOUD!! Meekman via Youtube

 

You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the force... not leave it in darkness!

 

I'm rolling my own.

- Toyota Highlander heated glass (see diy link below where I learned these would work)
- Switch from ebay. Info here.
- Timer from here

I’m keeping the open switch blank next to my power mirror switch open just to add heated mirrors.

 

I'm repurposing the switch (top left of the new mirror switch I bought) that was intended for the power mirror fold into a momentary switch to start timer sequence for heating glass. Just an idea if you need an extra blank for a passenger eject switch or other useful accessory.

 

Got the Elka 2.5 DC resi's installed on the front. The ARB bumper made it a bit of a hassle, had to modify the resi mounts.








The upgrade is real, did the 1st test rip yesterday. To go from 5100's with OME 886's on them, to this is unreal.

I have never driven on sweet suspension ever, feels like I have to relearn how to drive my truck, it is so different.

 

Second one in place. Not entirely certain they'll stay due to the extended nature of the blind spot now, but at least the plastic repair for tiny little screws is easy if I decide to move them elsewhere. For now I'm just being very careful in lane changes/merges, and REALLY utilizing the convex mirrors I have (might be time for spotter mirrors). Doesn't look too bad from outside, either.

 

Who makes these? Thanks.

Looks like it is these guys:

beat me to it.

 

another place that makes the molle panels are

I have one of these in my shell.

 

The one I linked is the specific one that I modified for both suicide doors. There's a lot of different people who make MOLLE panels in either aluminum or HDPE, but this specific one comes with the built-in mounting system that makes it a perfect fit for the suicide door windows with very little modification. I'm looking at another manufacturer for putting in the top of one of my Bumot Defender panniers on the Super Tenere, to hold a med/trauma kit vs the one I have floating in the pannier right now (but that's really for a different forum, lol).

 

That's kinda how I wanted to do it. I just went with 4 supers
