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

Hands down one of my favorite colors!!! Good looking truck man

 

Where did you come across those switches?

 

Click the link in your qoute and it'll take you right to them. They only fit 12-15 tacomas fyi.

 

Yesterday I finally started working on the truck again. Sliders when back on after having the blasted and powder coated. Then I started taking the front suspension out to put in some Fox shocks. Can anyone tell me what the bolt pattern is and how long the bolts are for the fox 2.5 top hat? I didn't get any buying them used so I had to stop last night till I find some that work. Thanks in advance. Got the driver side all torn out and half the passenger before it got dark. I'll start on the rear end later this week.

 

replaced the ARB rocker switch that doesn't fit..

 

I'm getting ready to do this too.
Who makes that switch?
Did you need to run the switch off a relay?

Amazon for the win.. My local shop didn't have any.. I hooked into the wiring harness for the ARB pump..

 

Thx
Did you have to add a relay with the switch?

 

No, I didn't add a relay..

 

Finally decided to fix my driver's side visor today. I watched the YouTube video from the other thread on this topic and it worked great. Reapplying the liner was a bit tedious and not the most beautiful job, but it's functional and hard to see especially with the black visor wrap on it. Below are pictures of before and after as well as the seam job I did using double-sided fabric tape.

 

Always something. After finding the right bolts for my Fox top end. The lower shock bolts are corroded and wont fit the spacers on the shocks. Also one of the spacers is crushed and oval now so I need to order some new ones of those also. looks like new suspension wont be on till next weekend...
Going to start the rear this week and I'm hoping I won't find any more surprises.

 

Gave the truck a bath and uncovered a new problem lol i think they can rebuild them

 

Drain and fill on all 4 gearboxes on my new old girl. Front and rear were quite dirty with gunk on the plug : /. Trans and Transfer were quite clean. And greased driveshafts.

 

Cleaned all the leaf litter out of the bottom of both front fenders and made a hardware screen cap for the cabin air intake :

Cool. What’s your method for cleaning that spot? Looks like you did not use a vacuum.

 

Bent a coat hanger to use for the majority of it then my finger for the rest.

 

Tell me you live in California without telling me you live in California.
I have own the truck since 01/2020. This is the first time I have pulled the cam bolts(whiteline LCA bushing replacement) process went smooth and effortless.

 

Got the lights mounted up on the 3rd gen bumper and plugged back in. Wired up the lightbar too since it’s juts been up there not wired. Would rather trade it with the diffuse for a non lightbar diffuser. took the truck out and the front bumper works pretty good

 

Did the same earlier today. Works great.

 

Installed a new third brake light gasket - goal was to stop this leak I've had coming into my cab, have had it for the last two years and just got around to fixing it.

I ordered an offroam mount, paid more than I ever anticipated for a phone mount so I'm hoping to be happy with it when it shows up.

Hoping to order some heated seat/clazzio's soon. Would mean I'm just about done modifying the interior of the truck.
