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

Installed @mattgecko ’s bed light kit with a CH 4x4 button in the dash and tapped the dimmer switch for illumination using @kmorgan3 ’s illumination pigtail. Always try to support our forum guys everyone, it keeps these platforms alive.

Installed the @christian06 anti-methhead mod.

 

Ouch

 

Installed Dongar USB harness for dash cam, by far easiest mod done.

 

Putting the bad boy in tomorrow.

 

Nice, do you have a link to which ones you got?

 

Found an open box dealer at the badlands 12k winch I’ve been eyeing for the last month. The previous buyer said they didn’t like how it looked. I argue the opposite. Just need to paint the cover. Works like a charm, got $150 off also!

Finally added my fire extinguisher with a quick release mount I found on Amazon.

 

This sentiment right here^ have that kit in my truck as well, very well put together.

This goes with the first post, love all the small mods that I have on my truck from the guys on this forum. Stuff you'd never even think of that others have the creativity to make.

 

love the wheels, what are they?

 

Did an OME by @HeadStrong Off-Road 885 front and HD rear leaf with SPC UCA. The rear sits higher than front but I eventually want to get drawer system.

Waiting on my Icon wheels to come in from backorder

 

This winch is amazing!

 

cool, just ordered a set. Surprised to get free shipping on only $25.

 

Actually they are set at zero. I initially set them at the wrong setting and then set them back to zero. The truck sits nice and level now. Sorry for the delay in response just been busy lately.

 

Last night I replaced my blower motor that was working intermittently. Took all of 8 mins including drinking a beer. I went with the premium blower off rock auto thinking id give it a try for the price over the OEM. it has a bit of a hum to it I'm not a fan of but O well. If it craps out I'm going OEM

 

Pulled apart my CH 4x4 switch in an effort to dim the leds a little bit. Switch came apart without a ton of effort, permanent marker on the inside of the switch cover did virtually no good, couple small slips of paper to act as a filter helped a little. Long term I’m going to change out the resistor to a higher value to knock the backlight down to roughly the level of the rest of the dash lights.

I’m lamenting the death of Radio Shack as I don’t know any local place to source electronic components anymore. ‍

 

Finally bit the bullet and brought my truck into a local Toyota specific shop to diagnose my A/C issues. Of course, they called me back at the end of the day yesterday saying everything was working perfectly. I explained the issue further in detail over the phone. (they had like a touchless drop off so i wasn't able to speak with anyone and could only write the issue down on a small key envelope). Anyways, they said they'd keep it another day and see if they could recreate the issues i'm having.

Long story short my A/C light blinks randomly and shuts off cold air (already replaced the relay). And a couple weeks ago the A/C just wouldn't blow cold even with the A/C light staying solid. It's all very intermittent though. Of course, 90% of the time it works fine.

 

You could always go to Circuit City!... Oh wait.. or you could go to Fry's Electronics!... Oh huh... maybe you could try Tweeters or The Whiz!.... oh ya.. Nevermind....

Try Amazon or https://easternbeaver.com my dude.

 

I had the blinking light issue and even took it to a shop which didn't fix it. I ended up just unplugging the connector cleaning it and then hitting it with compressed air and re plugged it back in to the compressor and the light hasn't blinked in almost a year.
