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

Thanks, looks great. I’ve done it on pickups but not on a taco, what’s your bed length at now?

 

Same length as a shortbed, I cut out 14”. I did that intentionally so I could put a softopper on it. Which worked out super well but I’ve since switched bed setups.

 

Sweet, that was my plan as well. Only issues I might run into is that I have 63’s and I think they sent a little further back

 

Yeah I’m sure they do. My frame is cut so it butts right up against the leaf hangers. Even then, you’ll still be able to get a good chunk off which makes a huge difference. I went from a 26° to a 45° departure angle.

 

Nice... I am thinking about doing that this weekend. If it would stop raining.

 

Built this nifty little cubby for beers and bongs on camping trips. Cleaned up the bed and sealed some holes that were letting too much dust in. Fixed my broken window issue. The cheap way! And made my bed for the weekend!

 

Same here I also got from a fellow maker/member. I also have patch from same maker that says remember stupid you got to drive this to work tomorrow

 

Are those 16”s?

 

Installed my wheelers superbumps in the rear.

 

Good ideas there!

 

Got my axle in for the passenger side.



Trimmed 2” from the first fender flare with a dremel. I’m really happy how it turned out.

 

37’s

 

A lot of reorganizing and systems disconnected while I was revamping stuff but finally got things back together and everything works, woot! Heated mirrors mod(timer relay controls secondary switch led), fogs anytime, heated seats, relocated power ports(always hot), 2 extra horns using stock horn wire to trigger relay, and redid the harnesses on the left and center cubby to daisy chain power, illumination +/- . Eliminated an add-a-fuse by using the stock power port 15A circuit to power 1/2 of my 8-way fuse panel)other 1/2 is always hot on a 30A fuse from the Bussman which is on an 80A breaker.

4 ignition hot circuits are:
Push switch power(all banks)
Heated mirrors power
Heated seats switch power
Open

4 always hot circuits are:
Relocated 12V sockets(one passenger side of console, one in bed)
Passenger seat heater main fuse
Driver’s seat heater main fuse
Open
Left side switches added:
Fogs
Heated mirrors
Ball valve(open/close)for OBA supply
2 remain open

center console left to right:
Driver’s side heated seat control
Front camera anytime
Rear camera anytime
Open
USB/AUX
Dual socket USB charger w/12V display
Passenger side heated seat control

Center console cubby(OBA switches/dials):
1” pressure dials(100psi output/160psi input)
Driver’s side lift bag switch
Passenger side lift bag switch
Spare
Compressor relay switch(tied to pressure switch)
Output pressure control valve

Passenger footwell side of center console
Relocated 12V power port now always hot.

I ran 4- #10 wires to the center console under the cup holder (MT so behind the stick)
Always hot on 30A fuse to 1/2 panel
Always hot on 40A fuse to 40A compressor relay
Ground from engine bay Blue Seas ground buss to interior ground buss mounted behind stick(BS buss to battery clamp is #4 copper)
Spare #10 wire and spare 40A relay(possibly fridge or inverter).

OBA manifold has ball valve input, pressure switch, over pressure dump valve.
QD line from manifold for HP air as backup supply.
This needs to be cleaned up with pressure switch on tank side of ball valve.

It’s getting crowded under the center console but the inverter would still fit.

 

How much did you pay for the axle?

 

Yep, 16x8. 0 offset and 4.5” backspacing

Took my buddy out in his 2019 freshly lifted 3rd Gen. He’s getting 33’s mounted up this weekend

 

All I can hear in this pic is:


Lol

 

New wheels and tires, new front hubs/ wheel bearings and recharged the AC in time for summer
