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

Custom clear knobs!

 

I have the same Amazon specials. Now that's cold, cold.

 

I'm waiting on the video switcher. I'll post when I do the install. But essentially the video switcher controls everything. All video feeds run to it. Three cameras have a trigger wire that activates the video signal automatically to display on the headunit. Reverse light is the trigger for the backup camera. Blinkers are the triggers for the two cameras on the side. Front camera doesn't have a trigger wire. I'm going to wire the the trigger wire into the blinker wire for the two side cameras. Those wires can be found in the footwell on the drivers side from my research.

 

Mine did the exact same thing like a month ago when it was minus 25 c.

 

Well I hope yours fare better than mine and yeah, my wife pulled the blanket over my eyes on how cold MN gets... She said it doesn't get that bad... I should've known not to listen to a local!

 

You get used to it. And this is the most mild winter we have had in MN in years. Normally this time of year we have been neg F for weeks in a row. The fact that the next week is going to be in the high 20s and 30s is crazy! February normally doesn't get above single digits at all.

 

Man, that is cold. I have those same knobs and never thought about them being 2 pieces. Now I’m thinking I can 3d print my own knobs and use the clear piece of those as a hub. Would make printing something like the AJT knobs a lot simpler.

 

I wasnt talking about when you were done. I mean when you put it down for 0.5 seconds and it runs away from you.

 

I finally watched and thats messed up. Im from chicago so i know the struggles. Thanks for sharing and if i ever need to park by midway i wont be using that lot.

 

It was a bit of a pain. I made a hole and used a rotary tool to widen it to roughly the shape of the snorkle. Then made a bracket for the thing to mount on and welded it to the engine bay. Then used bondo on the fender to snug up the gaps around the snorkel

 

Effort was worth it it looks great

 

New shift knob. Ordered the wrong shift boot collar replacement by mistake, waiting to receive the correct one.
If anyone is interested in a '16-'23 shift boot cover with TRD on it (by @7r41lbr34k3r), for the cost of shipping, let me know.

 

The cold spell finally passed and I was able to get underneath the truck to install some Energy Suspension bump stops in place of the stockers.

 

Alpharex taillights installed

 

Well one side is almost done. Someone told me once that wrapping pocket flares was impossible. I call BS.

 

Looking really good....

 

I took a picture of it does that count?

 

Nothing exciting. Performed the 60k service on the truck. Oil and filter, plugs and engine and cabin air filter.

 

I don’t like the info you just told me

 

I reckon just throw them in the freezer for a bit and they’ll come apart!
