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

Washed it and waxed it. Detailed the interior. And it looks super good! It came out super shiny. I love it!

Some pics!

 

Washed some of the mud off the out side.

 

how is the action on the shock?

I got around to installing the trailer wiring plug in the bumper. In placing it to the left of the license plate, it would have been bent around the corner and I didn't think that was a good idea. So into the left license plate light hole it went. Now I don't have to ask the neighbor if the 4-foot tall berm is hard or soft before backing over it.

 

see I told you ....wheres the pic

 

I didn't bother taking pics since there's so many of them out there. But I will say you were right. I could just go to your post and copy your pic. But instead, I'll let you see it in person. You just have to show up on the May 1 snow run! It's melting fast up here. We're down to 6 inches on the roof and the snow berms are now below the mirrors of my Taco (they came up to my shoulders last weekend). We can actually see the ground in places. WooHoo!!! My wife's really happy because she made me put the snow somewhere other than her front garden because her bulbs were coming up before we got the several feet last week (which made more work for me to haul it across the driveway). Now there's bare dirt there and the Crocus are all blooming. I guess it was worth it after all.

 

Installed wireless back up camera today.....

Thinking about switching the wiring to 12V feed from Trailer hitch from reverse light. Since I have Limo tint I will be able to see behind better with the camera LOL

 

Painted my factory rims black. Not to bad.

 

That looks SWEET! Now I know how to save some money on black rims. I guess I'm painting/plastidipping mine when the weather levels out!

 

Mounted my license plate to the N-fab light bar. I plasti-dipped a couple of conduit clamps and used stainless hardware to mount it. I used a strip of rubber wrapped around the bar as a spacer and to keep the clamp from rolling. I think it turned out pretty good, and a lot better than punching holes in the plastic bumper.

 

Lifted front with billy 5100's at 1.75, added N-fab polished SS nerf bar, N-fab light bar with 4 KC slimlites(2 outer are fogs and 2 inner are long range driving) and installed INJEN power flow intake.

 

The hood opens smooth and easy. Once you get the hood open 6 or 8 inches, it just lifts by itself. There is no jarring at the end of the stroke, it actually slows itself down the last 3 to 6 inches of lift.

Closing it doesn't pose any problem either. I just pull down on either side and push it closed. No jarring drop to close, it's very gentle.

A great product and easy to install.

 

Thanks for the input. I was worried about being decapitated or severly injured if they decided to not work. I am going to get me a few.

 

I bought the cheapies, they are offered in stainless I believe. I think there are 2 better (more expensive) versiions. I'm happy with these. It makes me want to check my oil just to use them.

 

Added the OEM bed mat today. Went to get the intermittent wiper stalk for that mod but local dealer wanted $175! Looks like some internet shopping on that one for me!

 

Fixed the temp/direction gauge...

 

Not exactly done to, but received my eyelids in the mail. Pics to come when done.

 

Did the cruise control mod today . It doesn't work. I guess my 2011 isn't prewired for it.Oh well, wasn't a necessary item but would have been nice to have. It was really easy to do.

 

Rotated tires and oiled the gas door. Chain lube FTW again (still don't have squeaky leafs 2 years later). I guess it was about time to oil the gas door since it hasn't been done in almost 6 1/2 years. Works so well now, it blows shut a little in the wind at the gas pump.
