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

This is what I didn't do to my Tacoma - I didn't get T-boned by a white Altima who blew through a red light yesterday late morning in Windsor Height, Iowa. My cat like reflexes on the brake pedal (and paying attention) saved my wife and I from a serious Christmas eve accident. Feeling really blessed and lucky.

 

That’s why I never just take off from a light when it turns green. So may people blow through lights when they are changing from yellow to red. Yellow don’t mean speed up!

 

Ordered relays, terminals, cable seals and cavity plugs for the Bussmann RFRM that I'll be using for my electrical install.
I didn't order fuses. I can pick those up at my local parts store.

 

Finally welded on my sliders. Probably not going to TIG togerher the next set.

 

That's what I told my son yesterday. If I had taken off quick like a normally do, it would have been disastrous. I will definitely make it a habit to look right when I get that Left Turn Green Arrow. Merry Christmas.

 

Merry Christmas everyone

In my Christmas pajamas, I did the air condition drain tube extension... used a male-to-male barb fitting, two clamps, and piece of tubing. Zip tie to frame. Did not see any issues down there on my 2014. Merry Christmas!

 

Main breaker or fuse?

 

Yesterday

 

side profile shot and light bar installed shot.

 

Today I attached a tow strap to the front of my truck and dragged two people out of the ditch on the left side of this trail...this guy was on worn AT tires, no chains, no recovery gear, and driver wearing shorts is a recipe to stay home. The ridgeline that was stuck in front of them was on Hwy tires with no recovery gear. Once everyone was free we turned around to get some space between us and the shitshow.

 

Glad you and the Mrs are OK! Some guy blew through a stop sign a few months back and my gf did some crazy cat-woman reflex sh*t to dodge the car. Still not sure how it is humanly possible she pulled it off. She might be a super hero. Crazy what reflexes and adrenaline can do

 

i have that same issue.

 

Just finished up making my own tailgate replacement. The steel was $60 (which seemed a little high for 16 gauge, but COVID pricing is still in effect.) It took me a couple hours of measuring, cutting, grinding and painting.



I came back around later and added weather stripping to try and keep the dust down as well.

 

Small thing, but jumped on the wheel decal bandwagon.

 

Fuses, from 5A to 30 A. Not sure what rating I'll need in what position but I'll check the accessory and then buy the fuse.

I will need a main breaker but again I'm not sure what rating I need (I'm thinking 100A).

Am I the only one that has to search thru tons of Tacoma pictures on the phone to find a very few pictures of family members. It doesn't help that I had 6 Tacomas while raising 3 kids. So 1/3 of my pictures are of the family and 2/3 of those pictures have a Tacoma in them. Do I need counseling or is this normal Tacoma owner behavior.

 

Love "driver wearing shorts". Got curious about the GPS coordinates. North of Lake Tahoe, right?

 

Awesome weather. What’s the details on how you mounted your camera? Very good image quality.
