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

Spent the day taking off mil scale off of my new rci rock sliders. What a pain in the a$$!!! I hate mil scale!

 

I mean, if you got in the slightest accident it would potentially launch it into the air or the back cab window, that would be deadly for sure!

 

I was camping At Lime rock Park in Connecticut for the annual IMSA sportscar races. Crazy weather with lots of downpours and lightning. Either way lots of fun, and wet, and hot .
During one of the heavy downpours, a campsite took large tarps, tied them together and covered them with Dawn to make huge slip and slides.

Way to make fun of a hot and rainy day.

 

While out working today I saw a photo opportunity.

I probably should have shut the toolbox lol.

 

First mod. I installed a Boss BV800ACP. I forgot to take a before picture. It was simple enough.

 

A couple weeks ago I picked my truck up from getting a the frame replaced and committed on here how horrible it drove. The tech from the dealership blamed my tires which needed replaced but it didn't shimmy before I took it in for the replacement so it shouldn't have did it with a new frame either. Yesterday I had my local guy install new tires and do a alignment. It drives fantastic now. It looks like when they swapped everything from the old frame to the new frame they didn't even do a alignment. Unreal.

 

Picked up my RTT and mounted it at work! Thing of pure beauty!

 

time to get CRC'd

 

Scored a bed mat off marketplace for $50. Found out not only are the 3rd gens compatible with 2nd gens, but the long beds can be cut right down to fit into a short bed. Not bad for the price.

 

Try posting in this thread with all of the other turd gens

Made a bracket to mount my cellphone where I wanted it. Using a

$25 CLUTCHIT The Original Dual Magnetic Movable Phone Holder and Tablet Mount (Silver)

Clutchit mount with magnets on both sides. The swivels are nice and tight, hopefully they'll stay that way when the heat comes. Still has decent access to the fan speed control and hazard light button.

 

I mistakenly posted here in the 2nd Generation section.

 

Got my ADD W1 catch can installed. Only complaint is that they only sell it for a power tray so I had to go buy 3 ft of hose to make it work.
Installed a volt meter. Nice and out of direct view so I wont see it at night but with a little head tilt I can see it.
And found a tube sitting around that fit perfectly onto my AC drain hose so I used a couple zip ties to move it off the frame.

Before anyone says anything I know the whole truck needs a good cleaning.

 

I did that on my 3rd gen but not yet on my 2nd gen. What size i.d. is the hose used. I have tons of clear hose of different sizes.

 

I never measured it to be honest. I just brought one that came with it to Napa and told him to get me 3 ft of oil hose in that size. I want to say 3/8th but I'm not sure.

 

Mine was part of a kit which included everything and mounting plate to side mount. Hose clamp & spare o-ring was added to kit. Original kit came with regular hose clamps.

 

The universal option would have worked for you (hose included) and it's far less expensive. They added the "PowerTray" version after my install vid.

 

I think if you would contact them, they would include the extra length hose-free. They are nice people to work with. It was because of @boogie3478 (Mr. B) that I purchased this to begin with. Nothing against “Mr. B”, actually, thankful!

 

I kind of thought so. I wasn't sure if the universal was the same thing or not. The extra hose only cost me like $12 not a big deal
