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

Can't go wrong with the techdeck. It was the first thing I added and love it.

 

They're nice, I have my camera monitor mounted to it, it can kinda block the AC controls a little but it's not really an issue, there's a guy who makes something similar that doesn't have the shelf it's just ram balls on either end of the AC controls but I like the tech deck heavy duty as it's 8n double sheer plus has extra screws going up into the bottom of the radio surround, it's much more supported.

If you're only mounting a phone or small GPS and mostly street then the pretty little side mounts are great but if you like to wheel hard and fast I would go with the heavier duty tech deck like that.

There's also the (weird acronym like TPAM or something) mount but it sits on top of the dash and I already have something mounted there I am unwilling to relocate.

You can kinda see my actual phone mount to the top left there.

I also have the birddawg industries mirror riser with ram ball for my go-pro, slightly "moded" to mount my compass/thermometer mirror pod and to support it more as otherwise it's too much weight and will fall off (and sometimes take some of the windshield with it.)

 

I know, I noticed after I posted the picture and though, “Wow, that is cool looking”. The springs, shocks, control arms, etc was all replaced like 2 months ago.

 

wait, those fit in the 05-11?
where did you order it from?

 

Yes but you need the clock piece as it's different too, also I believe the 4wd selector is different.

Toyota is the only place to get it AFAIK.

 

i thought the exact same thing, almost like its made of glass or translucent

might be some sort of alien tech or something

 

wont need the 4x4 knob

mine just looks like a 4x4 from a distance

 

Beautiful Truck, Nothing like a Access Cab showing off, "Black Power"!!

 

Another Access Cab to drool over!!,, I have heard rumor that in some jurisdictions the theft of an Access Cab could be considered "justifiable theft" just a rumor but Hay! you have to agree, it is tempting!!

 

Your first photo looks similar to my old set up.

 

Been a while and a few upgrades since I've posted on here so here goes nothing.

• AVS Window Deflectors for hot FL summers
• Diode Dynamics SS3 Sport fog lights
• Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro Driving lights along with cheap Amazon ditch lights. (don't need to be expensive for 10ft down and out)
• DIY Fridge slide for 42quart fridge, (fridge should be in saturday)
• Installed 2nd battery (24DC) dedicated to running all my camp lighting along with fridge and power panel in rear.
• Added solar to run fridge indefinitely with amount of sun we get here (
  $80 RICH SOLAR 100 Watt 12 Volt 9BB Cell Monocrystalline Solar Panel High Efficiency Solar Module Charge Battery for RV Trailer Camper Marine Off Grid
  100W Rich Solar) and to charge starter battery.
• Added Voltage Sensitive Relay (VSR) to charge 2nd battery via alternator when running and to jump starter if ever needed.

I think that's pretty much everything since last post.

 

Why yes I did. I needed a little more adjustment then the ball allowed, so volla'.

 

I did that but with the twist I wanted it did not work. Held the x mount too far from dash and too far towards window. Thus a bracket was needed.

 

From my understanding it fits perfectly. The only thing that you would need is a need newer radio din. My dasaita come with one, so we'll see if comes together as planned. If not I'll resale it.

And I bought it from here: https://www.sparksparts.com/oem-parts/toyota-radio-panel-5541204100

Non 4x4

 

Has anyone gotten a blower motor off RockAuto? OEM is like $125 and rockauto has them for under $40. Wondering if they are worth a shot being 1/3rd of the price.

 

I've seen a few people get them from rockauto and have been fine.

 

getting close to 80,085. gotta post that when you get there.

 

The boot kit arrived yesterday. The clamps look to be the correct size. I haven't had the time to crawl under the truck to have a closer look.
I call it a kit because the boot and clamps came with a bag of grease in the box, which I won't be using. I'll be using the Motorcraft grease. The clamps say "OEM T", so maybe OEM Toyota?
