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

superb customer service, quality and work unbelievable end result!!!! The Alcan custom leaf pack coupled with archive garages u bolt flip, hammer hangers with 3.6 shackles and HC crossbar ha been the best thing so far suspension wise this truck has had done!

Lew Weldon (owner of Alcan springs ) and Tyler ( master technical wizard) knocked it outta the park I cannot say enough of how fantastic this whole experience has been.

 

Building my front bumper. Got the angled bars tacked in this morning. Fairlead and light tabs to do and then final welding and paint

 

I’m sure you’re aware but it appears as if there is hardly any shock shaft showing.

 

Dang, good eye. Looks like some 12” shocks in the stock location.

 

Washed and ceramic coated. Weird seeing it this clean

 

Pre-tape.

 

Redoing the entire dash harness?

 

Im waiting for the "post tape" Nice!

 

I have a 2012 base model Tacoma (no fog lights, no cruise, nothing). I have a couple burnt wires (heat/AC) and some that were cut (radio).
I looked at getting a new harness but the part number for my truck was discontinued. The new harness in the picture is for a 2014 base model truck.
I had to swap over the ECM connectors and I wanted to add stuff like power/heated mirrors, cruise, fog lights and more importantly: navigation. It worked out because the newer harness has the larger radio connector so there was less work getting the navigation and USB/AUX wired up. I added wiring for the accessories now because it's the perfect time to do it. The only thing I need to get is the wiring clamps from Toyota so I can install it into the truck. I have to wait until it's in the truck to be able to attach each one because they each go in a certain spot.

 

Now that the weather is getting warmer and I can find time to work on the truck:

The shift cable seems to stick/bind. I noticed this last year, it happens from time to time and weather has no effect on making it worse or better.
I sometimes feel resistance going from P to D, or D to P.

Has anybody had this happen?

 

Got around to clean a much needed intake. Thanks to a quick video from(edit,sorry) @boogie3478 for the lesson!

 

Was about to buy some Seat Jackers then found a new company called Reno that has the same things less expensive...ordering now! Here's my list to date though:
