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

Today I just installed a gmrs attena on my fender. Need more time to install the radio.

 

Got this level from Amazon!

 

This guy is fucking smart I never knew to stack shit on the bottom of the bed rack

 

We had an NX as well, it was stolen and with the insurance payout we bought what we should have bought in the first place....a GX460. You will pay the same for entry but will pay more in gas. The comfort and convenience will out way the difference. This was a used GX of course but a CPO. (4wd, V8, 3 rows, crazy solid vehicle!)

 

Sister wanted a 5th gen 4runner but the gx460 was cheaper and that’s what she bought. I borrowed it for a month to do a west coast trip. Love that suv. Wanted to buy one for my wife but it is a gas guzzler. 15 mpg average. So we going with a Honda Pilot instead. Can use the taco for off road experience.

but man the Lexus GX460 is a nice car. Loved driving it.

 

Uptop Overland has a rack that mounts just like this for their truss rack, I think a few others may also have something similar.

 

New shift knob

 

Tough to see in the pictures, but put on the black emblem overlays. I like the matte black set off against the glossy paint.

 

There are a lot of good reviews about the ride quality of the icon RXT leaf pack but honestly it’s truly mind blowing how good of a ride these created. I had the HD Dakar’s on before. Still need to trim the U-Bolts.

Before:



After: Icon RXT Option 1












I also made a shorter and more compact air line for airing up as the ARB one just took up too much room. Only did this because I made the quick connect fitting in the rear as well so that I can mount the hose on front bumper or rear.

Old:



New:

 

Installed a new honeycomb grill and third gen skidplate on the access cab

 

Wife was gone when I got home so the mistress got to park in the garage for the night. Let’s just say the wife isn’t exactly as caring as I am about keeping the truck warm and safe on these cool fall nights.

 

Sent you a pm.

 

Tool-free oil change




Also a non-Toyota (infuriating) battery R&R

 

Light bar

 

Finally swapped out this POS


And black dash swap complete

 

Removed the Retro fit hid system and installed the ultimate headlight upgrade w/harness.

 

Hit a milestone today, dropped $940.00 bucks on maintenance, parts and some love. Bought it Oct 2011(2012 model) truck is still like new.

 

Nice wheels!

 

Sorry for your loss, but welcome to TW.
You are off to a good start!

 

Nice
