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

Same old thing. Sleeping late and making seat spacers. How do you like yours.

 

Definitely understand. I'm going to ask for $300 since it's almost in mint condition. I paid $400 for it at the dealer.

 

That soy based wiring insulation is food for squirrels and mice. All manufacturers are using it now. My neighbors son spent $1000 to replace wires on his new Jeep from rodent damage. There should be a class action for this however it would need to cover millions, if not billions, of vehicles. I freak out any time I see a squirrel near my vehicles.
EDIT: at this very moment there are 9 squirrels scurrying around my yard. Maybe I need to take a ZANAX.

 

Getting use to them, still don't drive very much so far so good.

 

Aaaaand I'm finally back with all the Clazzio seat covers done (arm rest is going to wait until I can figure out fit and finish that I'd love). Overall I like the Clazzio's. The seat backs are the worst though, I don't care what people say about the headrests; those are cake comparatively. I also made it way harder for myself with the rear seat backs as I was not about to lose functionality by covering the plastic hardbacks when they're folded. So I ghetto MacGyver'ed my own relief cuts to get the flat storage installed OVER the covers on both 60/40. I'd suggest having that as an option from the factory TBH. Overall looks pretty nice IMHO.




Once again these are the PVC, and they look and feel great for my purposes (e.g., a truck). Plan to hit the door card arm rests in similar matching Black Leather with Contrast Gray Stitching when I pop them off for sound deadening. But that's far down my list.

 

Had them in my last 3 Tacos. Had 1 leather and 2 PVC. PVC looks, feels and wears the same as leather. Best bang for the buck IMO. What I like about Clazzio is, if you damage a section, you can buy a replacement section without buying a complete new set. I had the headrest covers done in my 3rd gen but not doing in the 2nd gens. It was free when I had it done.

 

Nice! Yeah, I got the headrests done because of a cool discount code courtesy of a thread somewhere on TW. Otherwise kept everything subtle for the sake of a 2nd Gen. The replacement was a big factor for me. Protect my relatively decent stock seat condition, upgrade the looks, and replace pieces if they get trashed. And the seat bottoms are the easiest to replace too now that I've done it.

 

Pull out the 22 iron and there will be less squirrels around the car.

 

@Cappy

Got the 3rd gen trd pro skid plate put on.

Next up, will be a ARB front bumper, 4xinnovations rear bumper and bilstein 5100's.

 

Very nice. Looks great. Enjoy

 

A little fluid film action

 

Got started on the heat for the rear seats tonight. Driver side is all back together. Just need to do the passenger side and run wires/mount the switches.

 

On my current truck I have a 2awg running from where the frame ground was on the frame rail, back up to the body ground at the fender. What I will end up doing is running a negative bus bar, but my batteries have also been relocated to the bed so my setup is a bit different.

Im trying to remember what I did on my GX. I’m pretty sure I ran a second cable from the engine ground back over to where the tiny frame ground bolted up.

 

Has anybody done a grill light set up like this?

 

would probably work real well on a 2011 type honeycomb grill with the center cut out

 

Didn't think of that. I want something not everybody has lol

 

Get some cayenne pepper powder (seasoning isle) mix it with some water and spray it all over your truck wherever you see wiring. I had a mouse get in and chew my aux panel wires and I just powdered up the engine bay. It keeps them away pretty decent. Just remember you did this so in the future when you work on your truck you don't wipe your eyes or anywhere on your face.

 

Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws and some SEMA wheels. Got rubbing on the front mud flaps so those are coming off unless I find something else that works. Overall, I love the way it turned out. And yes, this is just the stock TRD Sport lift.

 

One of my Morimoto fogs went out after 5 years. What are ppl doing for fog lights these days? I can rebuy the XBs but they're spendy and I'm getting cheap in my old age.

 

Says on their website they have a 10year warranty... might be worth checking in to see if they will help you out on it?
