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

I have one of their switches for my ditch lights and it’s definitely sticky and doesn’t always engage.

 

If there is a thread for the CH 4x4 push style switches, somebody please share it. I’d like to post my solution on there. I was pissed after I started putting the dash back together and every one got hung up once I had them plugged in.

 

That's a solid looking tray. Good job.

This is all I could find. Do your rear lights come on with the reverse lights as well?

 

Oh! That’s nice!!!

 

Unpacked the order ..

 

They don’t yet. But I am doing some research on how I can make it switch activated as well as triggered. I was worried about blinding people in parking lots. That would be nice though for most situations where I backup in the dark.

 

SPDT or DPDT (without using the other legs), tap the reverse wire for one throw, constant for the other. I did it on my F150 so I could have them auto-on or on when I want them on, or aux off completely. It's not hard, just takes a second to get your wiring in order.

 

Installed Cali-Raised Molle panel to front of bed.

Bed bolts were very difficult to get off - I ended up giving up and hiring someone.

 

I wanted to get one of these myself. Good excuse to use the new 1/2 inch impact I just bought!

 

CV Axle rebuild for a new trail spare. My supervisor is such a distraction

 

Welcome to the forum! Your truck looks like it fits right in with that beautiful area and all that nice snow wherever you are.

 

Installed the @MESO customs molle panel.

 

It was a good weekend to be finishing up the wooden part of the camper build. I'm trying to stay with stock suspension. I think I'm going to be able to do it. So far the platform and storage weighs a little less than 90 lb.

Here's a link to some photos and there's a link to a YouTube channel that has me explaining the build a little bit.

Brilliant. Nothing I like better than simple and effective. Well done

 

When you say extended...you mean Access Cab (AC)? rear suicide doors and jump seats? There's dog deck thread with lots of ideas ranging from super basic to pretty involved. Check it out. You can make something that works really well with a 2x4, a couple hinges and a piece of 3/4" plywood.

I have an AC, and built a deck that ends up level with the 'table top' pasenger seat. Leaves room under the deck for stuff, and the dog has lots of room. But I'm solo 95% of the time.

 

Someone just asked me for photos, so, here's a link to the thread for Dog platforms in an AC specifically, 13 years worth of ideas. Some really great ideas. I hadn't added photos to that thread, although I know I've posted them somewhere. Ill add some there now so they're in the right place. Problem is my solution isn't something you can buy and copy so I didn't see much use in sharing. I repurposed stick stall shower door hardware so that the panels hinge and the whole thing collapses and morphs...For example I can eliminate the panel on the passenger side in case I have a passenger that needs to recline, while still leaving the deck for the dog behind the driver and middle. Also, it hinges down behind the driver creating an entrance ramp, which you adjust to level once the dogs in. take a look.

Did some more planning for my elocker axle swap coming up. Does anyone know if the axle shafts for a elocker rear end are the same as a non-elocker rear end?

That would save me a ton of headache because I wouldn’t have to take apart my drums to get to the parking brake cable.

 

That's about the cutest supervisor I have ever seen though!

 

Got a used camper shell for her. Planning on putting a platform, bed, and shelf system in the back. Anyone know where I can buy new gaskets for the camper shell? It’s a leer 100xq.
