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

Where can I find a pair myself? Showing backordered everywhere. Thanks.

 

Hauling a toolbox to the new job.

 

You are going to have a beast of a set up there.

 

It will hold what I need and with more organization (including my cart), I should be good for some time.

It will probably take a couple weeks working out of these two storage units to see what works and what doesn't. When you're flat rate, finding tools faster makes more sense.

 

Made a platform for the ol’ dog. She’ll love having a flat surface lol.

 

The rear seats in access cabs are better for humans in the late 2nd gen and 3rd gen but they should have kept the flat deck setup from the earlier 2nd gens. My adult kids have dogs, that I frequently watch, and my 2008 rear seat fold flat deck is perfect for dogs. Seems like they could have done the same, with some modern upgraded seating, in the newer models. In my last 3 2nd and 3rd gen access cabs my rear seats had a total of maybe 20 hours of human use in 7+ years. I do know that the newer rear seats are much more supportive than the older seats for people but does anyone buy an access cab for using the rear seats anyway ?

 

New rubber and for the first time ever I bought the same tire twice.

 

What are they and are they noisy? They look like they are.

 

That looks excellent man!

 

Thank you!

 

Okay now I hate you..... I want RPT1s so bad, the f5s I just picked up weigh less though

 

Got my serp belt and all three pulleys replaced, honestly one of the easiest jobs I've ever done on my truck. The new parts got rid of the supercharger noise and my truck idles so smooth now I almost forgot it was on. Also, got my new wheels ready to go for install on Monday... hopefully. Also got new tires. I'm poor now.

 

What belt kit did you buy? Mine just started making noise.

 

F5s are very nice, they’re my favorite SCS wheel. I wouldn’t have guessed they were that light so that’s cool too. I just weighed mine and they’re about 17.9 lbs. Not super light for a 16x8 wheel (the 18x9.5 volks on my STI are around 18.6 I think but they’re forged so apples and oranges).

 

They are Patagonia milestar M/T and as far as noisey they aren’t bad at all on the highway.

 

While not mods yet. I just got some extra bed rails and an OEM inverter from a truck at the local Kenny-U-Pull.

 

Finally got a chance to weld up new end plates on my Brute Force fab hc rear bumper. Ended up using 1/8 instead of 3/16 since that was all the only local place that was open yesterday had, even after telling me they had 3/16 in stock. Some of the welds aren't super pretty, but considering that I hadn't done this much welding over the last 10 years combined and that the stupid circuit breaker popped about every 45 seconds they aren't so bad. I still need to do a little clean up and hope to start painting it one evening this week.

 

I bought an OEM belt and gates pulleys

 

NEED RADIO INSTALL HELP!! I got my stereo all wired earlier this week and went to install it today. got the old one out got the new one all plugged in and nothing....
I got an

$280 Alpine iLX-W650 7" Double DIN Touchscreen Digital Multimedia Receiver with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Alpine iLX-W650 from Crutchfield with the plug and play PAC RP4.2-TY11 as suggest to keep my steering wheel control. I hate wiring so I took my time and made sure everything was correct before I soldered anything in (plug and play my ass) But I got nothing. I found a video of an install of that same head unit, same PAC thing, same year truck even. When he did it he had the same issue and found a bad fuse in the engine bay. I checked it and all fuses are good but I still have nothing on the screen. Anyone with experience got any suggestions? Crutchfield is already closed when I tried to call them so I'll try them again tomorrow but as of right now but dash is still half apart.
