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

Grabbed some older fj wheels for cheap today. Still deciding on tires

 

So I just got back from a 5 day trip. I own the FSR Odyssey 55" tent which is mounted on my Prinsu rack. I've had it for about a month and a half now. I noticed the tent bangs on the middle bars that the tent is not bolted on to. It does overhang about a foot over my windshield which im not a fan of and kills my mpg and its super loud. Seems like the tent is bending the bars as well. Long story short, I did above average overlanding these past few days and I noticed all my bars are bending and I am not 100% sure if the tent bars are bending as well. After this trip it seems that my tent is leaning to the left. Anybody else have this tent? I plan on getting a the UpTop truss rack since I am also getting a softopper. Do you think that would be a lot sturdier and hold up a lot better offroading/overlanding.

 

Got a link for those lights?

 

Finally got the dents in the door fixed. These dents came with the truck when I bought it off my wife's grandfather, and I'm happy to finally get them fixed. Had to get a whole new door skin. Looks great, although it's hard to get a good picture with a now clean black truck. It's like a mirror. But now I can finally put on my blackout badges.

Thanks, but those are a little over-complicated for my needs. I don't need them to change colors or blink, and bluetooth control from my phone is not something I need either.

Does anyone make a plain, single-color (white) set of rock lights that just turns on with an on-off switch?

 

Baja does. There are even aftermarket items that will allow you to mount them to the rack even if it doesnt allow it currently.

 

Yeah. They want $65 for just one of these.

Im aware but you asked a question and I gave an answer.

 

Yes you did. Thanks.

 

what about the brackets?

 

NOW THAT'S A LIFT!

 

Mounted PAX mounts to the bed bar. The bar was too big to use the clamp of the pax mount so I drilled holes, inserted nutserts, drill holes in the pax mount and bolted them on.

 

So, I need to service my differentials. last change I used Redline 75w90... but it seems I cant get my hands on any for a few weeks. Is there any harm switching to valvoline, etc... ?

 

Finally got all the pieces for my lift. I guess I know what I’ll be doing this weekend!

 

Had my dash taken apart and noticed this... but my AC still works. Thoughts?

 

Saw the same thing on mine. Clean the terminals and see if you can tighten the terminal in the connector.

 

Looks like for whatever reason you have some resistance there which is causing heat. You could try to remove the terminal from the plug and try to tighten it up some and then reinstall. I would also try some electronics cleaner on both connectors.

 

Some goodies came today! @HeadStrong Off-Road AAL and a used set of bump stops thanks to @desertjunkie760!
