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

Might be a Toyota thing lol. My gf’s Corolla does the same thing whenever I change her battery

 

A little JB Weld and you are good to go!

What the heck happened?

 

That’s looks great!

 

When a bump was more of a ram lol

 

AUcar Tesla Screen Headunit installed, and the Wolfbox G900 Rear View Mirror. And vinyl wrapped some interior pieces with Black Camo.

at first i thought you had really bad wear on your steering wheel trim, lol. How does that screen work with the climate controls? dors it have a temp sensor to automatically adjust?

 

lolol. And you can either tap the screen near the bottom and its pulls up a seperate window or you can use you the buttons on the sides. And no it’s doesn’t have an auto climate control mode, it operates the same as factory.

 

Mine did that the other night when I had disconnected the battery for a couple hours while I welded the Cab mount chop plates. Luckily I knew it would do that from having it happen before when I had to disconnect for a descent amount of time.

 

I just installed the Wolfbox in my ‘98 a few weeks ago. It’s an awesome unit! I haven’t installed the parking monitor, yet.

 

Rack-It headache rack! Found on Craigslist for $150, it came raw. Gave me the idea to powder coat it something other than the stock black.

 

Bought 3rd gen trd offroad suspension and upper control arms. Take offs with around 4500 miles.

 

Mine had 40 miles on them from a 2023 Off Road. If you have any driver side lean be sure to add a 1/4" top spacer on the driver side (only if you need it). That set of springs and struts made mine fairly level with around 1-3/8" boost up front and it rides excellent. I also had the 3rd gen style 4 leafs installed under the recall.

 

Got the beginning stages of the extrusion bolted to the space frame for the wedge tent

 

Debadged. only took me 18 years

 

Nice! What did you use to do it? And how lol

 

Oh man.. it was a process lol. Heat gun, then used 20lb fishing line to remove the emblem. Goo gone following that to get the majority of the adhesive. Then clay bar to get the remaining adhesive. busted out the buffer and used clear coat compound and then finished with a wax/polish.

 

Great job! Thanks for the info

 

is that a Harken Hoister? How do you like it? Thinking of getting one for my canopy. I prefer to put the toolbox on the back instead, especially when it’s not winter.

 

It’s just a kayak hoist repurposed
it was $30 on Amazon and did the exact same job for me.. i only use it for my Ram 8 ft Flated topper so weight wise it hasn’t been an issue. Concept wise, i would highly recommend it. Any time you can mount and dismount a topper alone is a win lol this is how i set mine up.

 

Paid it off! Best Mod Ever.
