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

No pics, but I’m halfway to having CC on my base model. I got the switches installed and found mine wasn’t pre wired for the clutch cancel, so now I’m just waiting for some harnesses to show up…

 

Installed a larger trans cooler in flow after the factory cooler and did a trans flush with this write up. Chefs kiss worked great https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-full-flush-for-automatic-transmission.68462/

 

Sprayed Silicone on access cab rubber door gaskets. Stops the noise when cold as the body flexes. An annual task. Once a winter generally works.

 

Just ordered the dewalt toolboxes and trac mat noted in this thread to clean up the back seat of my A-cab, finally!

Took advantage of the lights to do some water tank cleaning with the pressure washer and also cleaned up the engine compartment. Spotted a new spare for the old dried out tire.

 

Looking over EWD's adapting this harness to fit my truck (truck is a 2012, harness is a 2014).
Taking a break from time to time and wiring my Bussmann RFRM, 50% done with that.
Also in the process of labeling each connector so I can print it out so I don't have to keep getting up and checking the computer

 

What spray are you using?

 

I use 303 on mine. Just spray it on a rag and wipe them down. I do it 2 or 3 times a year.

 

Just got my oil changed and new filter. Lookd like something was living in there with all the debris that was there. First oil change since I got it. Seems to breathe better with the new air filter.

 

Your new cooler is a straight pass through with no temp control valve or whatever its called? What model cooler did you install?

 

50% done on the Bussmann RFRM.

 

Looks good! Sucks that you wont see all that nice work once it goes in.

 

That's the point. Hopefully it works and I won't have to look at it.

 

Finally found a set of AlphaRex tail lights in stock after… a while.

 

Yes no fans or anything, just installed it behind the grille with plenty of airflow. Nice cooler https://www.etrailer.com/Transmission-Coolers/Derale/D51610.html

 

Taking a break from the Bussmann wiring (need 10 ga. wire, and fuses) and looking over the dash harness and what I need to buy.

 

Here's a small tip.
When your checking a wire harness with a multi-meter, make sure the multi-meter is on.

 

Have the same kind, absolutely love them

 

Checked the new 2014 dash harness against my 2012 EWD and there is one wire I need to move. It's in a connector and I need to remove it and it goes right to the ECM.

 

Ordered some Deaver Exped Stage 3s the other day from @HeadStrong Off-Road. They had them in stock which I wasn’t expecting. I was getting ready for some mid spring upgrades so I guess now I am doing some frozen knuckle mid-January upgrades…

Checked in with Dynatrac on a D60 axle assembly and due to supply chain stuff they are looking at possible 6 month lead time as opposed to the 6 week* lead time from a year ago
