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

Replaced the driver side door lock actuator and upgraded the factory lower door speakers with some JBL 9632 6x9’s.

 

Did some stuff on my caps weather seal and feeling kinda festive
The plastic weather shield has broken in a few spots. I pre drilled then ran a self tapper in to keep it from pulling out of the channel. Drilled in the wrong spot the first time

Finally got around to putting the lights on...

 

Updates

 

Installed inverter to back of truck using num 2 wire and busman 120 amp breaker

 

Installed some DD max yellow fogs and swapped out my trio of BD Xl's for an OnX6 light bar.

 

Working on bunk setup in my 2015 long bed with a ARE cap. The plan is to have a 72"x28"x4" foam mattress. the forward compartment will eventually be for the house battery. The side will have recovery gear. Once I buy some. and a big pull out drawer for kitchen stuff, dry goods and clothes. I still have a lot to do. This was day one. I saw a lot of folks using 3/4 plywood for their bunk builds. I opted for 1/4" as the base layer with reflectix glued to the bottom. Then I used 1/2 plywood facing the cabin 1x12 for internal framing. I will used a 1x12 for the drawer and have it friction fit. The drawer is around 50"long. I plan on putting a reflectix base layer on the cap ceiling with indoor outdoor carpet as the finish layer. I know that reflectix is not intended for this application in terms of maximizing its R-value, but I thought every little bit can help. I will post more as the build continues.

 

Got my bumper back from powder coating. Just waiting on my @Diode Dynamics lights to come in. So many parts to install. Can’t wait.

 

I spy DeGarde!

 

I had a 2005 king ranch F250 with 170K, I had already studded and deleted it then it cracked a head and was pushing fuel into the coolant. I let it set for a couple months trying to figure out what I wanted to do with it. Then traded even for my buddies 2010 TRD OR that he bought new when we were in college. one of the best decision I ever made.

Getting my 4Runner trail Wheels, and some rubber put on.

285/70R17 Wild peaks

 

Anxious to see how the wheels look in bronze

 

Yeah me too. I have to wait for that though needed tires ASAP. So I just got them all mounted up for now.

And thanks for the recommendations on lug nuts and TPMS sensors. Everything installed with no issues.

 

I think they look good as is though I am biased. Like the tire choice and size. My 265/70 street tires only have 2500 miles on them but I def like look of your WILDPEAKS better. What do you have for front lift/suspension.

 

Yeah I like the tires also. All I have for a lift is 5100's up front (removed previous owners spacer lift garbage) and previous owner add a leaf if the back which I will be getting OME's soon hopefully. Trying to get all the maintenance and repairs done first for obvious reasons lol.
