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

No bought my 2013 new off the lot in 2013, it’s a sport model

 

I just bought this last week.

 

Just installed the Tundra switch. Easy mod even for mechanically challenged me.

 

Love your build!

 

Replaced all the fluids except brake and power steering to establish baseline after cracking 200K. ATF needed it and both diffs + transfer case are good to go now. Oil was a bit early, but I was there already. Here's to another 100K!

 

Used it as a chicken umbrella

 

Spent the better part of two weeks replacing the head gaskets. A lot of that time was waiting of various parts, especially the timing cover to oil pan o ring. Which I ripped .... TWICE. Third time was the charm and got it together today! Have never done anything like this, Tacoma world was a huge resource. Also don't judge the cheap intake, I couldn't find a stock intake after I bought the truck last year.

 

Ive had a crack in my windshield for like 7 years. FINALLY got around to replacing it with a factory windshield!

 

Just ordered this. I'm curious if it has a safety mechanism that reverses the window if something is in the way. Maybe that has something to do with the actual window motor and not the switch panel.

 

You won’t regret it, what color did you get? I went with amber!

 

I ordered the Tundra one on Amazon. It says white so I'm assuming it is white LED.

 

Have you checked out these?

Yea I've seen those. Was considering buying them recently.

 

Man, that looks like some ancient electronics!

 

Comes with the passenger switch as well and your choice of color. I love the amber and it takes all of 5 minutes to do.

 

Almost 20 years old

 

AC refreshed and upgraded resistor/plug. Thanks to this thread for the wiring!

Didn’t realize Toyota updated this part, I had a cheap knock off Resistor that burnt out.

 

Today I turned some adapters on the lathe and put an old mountain bike grip to use.



This was before I modified the adapters a bit further, the final height is about 5/8" shorter than this. I may change this grip out for a lime green ODI grip so it matches the ones on my Kona.

 

funny you did this I was thinking about trying to find someone who could help me put like a Dirt bike grip on my Subaru auto shift knob, because why not plus it look cool I think.
