The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Haha no. That came out of a junkyard Tacoma. I think it was an older model too like 2008 or so where you could originally use your key to turn the airbag on/off, it was one if the first options I was exploring to adapt that keyed on/off switch to my Tacoma but didn't go that route.

 

Where did you mount this switch or is it under the passenger seat?

 

I just have it loose under the passenger seat and out of view. You don't have to use the same electrical junction box I used. If I redid my work, I would have used a smaller one.

 

Awesome. Appreciate you taking the time on this.

 

Thank you. I am not that good at doing write ups so hopefully it made some sense still.

 

It definitely helps. Just need to decide what seats I want.

 

I installed a transmission cooler, Hayden 698, after a day of going steep grades. On one dirt road, saw the transmission temperature rise to 220, so I figured it was time to cool things down a little.

 

Drive ‘till the wheels fall off!

 

Truck looks good!

 

Simple green and back flush that radiator, Robert; for the love of Jesus.

 

Sorry for the dumb question; like use simple green to clean the engine bay I’m assuming?

I did a coolant exchange and transmission fluid exchange approximately 10000 miles ago. Motor coolant temperature stayed under 195 (normal for me at least). The dirt road was deceptively steep.

 

Thanks! Yours too!

 

Unfortunate day for the rear glass on my Leer Canopy. Don't plan on leaving the truck out when the neighbors do their yard work anymore. Think the mower picked up a rock. Dealer quoted me $495 for the glass and $80 for the install. They also refused to just sell me the glass, stating that I had to pay for the install as well (non negoitable). Instead, I sourced a sheet of a tinted plexiglass for $62. Took me about 3 hours to measure, cut, sand, repeat. Overall very happy for the cost and how it turned out. Visually it looks identical, but it is noticeable lighter and more pliable than the glass. Added a retro leer sticker to replace the gel logo that was on the old glass.

 

Man that sux but at the same time nice job on that install. I wouldn't be able to tell something was wrong unless you pointed it out.

 

Thanks! Having it as oem as possible without the price tag was definitely the goal.

 

Took a little time to clean up the headlights before going on a road trip.

 

Looks great. This is on my list of things to do!

 

Sometimes I think about getting rid of my steel wheels but some of you guys make the steel wheels look fantastic.

 

It made a huge difference. Took about an hour per headlight for me.

 

I’m always thinking about upgrading, but I love the “work truck” look too much.
