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

Late in the year but I took out my Weathertechs's and put in the carpet mats.

 

Did the AC drip relocation today.

 

I just swap out the antenna housing due to the original being corroded. What a horrible horrible design.

 

Got a link to a thread showing how to do this?

 

No I just seen it done and thought it was a good idea. I changed mine to suit me. Here's where I routed it. I dropped it through a hole in the cross member.

 

Here is a site I used. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/rust-on-frame-with-a-c-drain-mod-fix.444138/

 

Found a steal on FB for the optional 2g oem skid. Hides the crusty ass cross members and splash guard underneath.
Kinda wana bbq grill blast it

 

Welp steering wheel is finished. It's different but I kinda like it. Wasn't sure if I was gonna like the blue so I bought black paint just in case. Also painted the shift knob.

 

Good looking truck you got there.

 

Today was productive, however I did all of this over the last few days.

1. New wheels and tires! SCS SR8 and Wildpeaks A/T4W. Love the poke. Got ‘er just right.

2. AJT climate knobs, shifter knob extension, and Sony XAV-AX4000 w/ wireless Apple CarPlay. Installed a keyless entry system as well.

3. DDI Seat Jackers and Husky floor mats.

Next up is a Eibach suspension kit with an AAL. Then I’m done… for now .

 

I feel the same way about my 2015 DCOR. I think about something newer, but then, I think I’d be disappointed in whatever that is.

 

I feel the same about my ‘15 SR5LB

 

Installed a tailgater awareness device, if they're still tailgating, I'm thinking they get a pass.

Plans for plumbing

More hand cut jointery, it's getting old fast, and I have plenty left to do!

Planed and prepped for more router work to relieve door edges. Yep, more wood in the bed.

Looking at your photo's I cannot help but wonder if your refrigerator has a drain hole with a plug in it on the bottom of the unit; I know that mine does.

I also know that the plug does a p-poor job of keeping liquid in the refrigerator when something leaks, or worse, is spilled. I have found a trail of liquid under the refrigerator when we have had inadvertent leaks because the plug does not seal all that well despite the presence of a good "O" Ring.

Given all of the electrical you have beneath your refrigerator, I am concerned about what could happen should this happen to you. Hopefully you will not experience this issue.

 

Yesterday I installed a Pioneer head unit, nothing fancy but I needed aux/Bluetooth inputs because FM radio was driving me insane. All the stations near me have entire segments about Hollywood and celebrity gossip, and every other advertisement was for local liquor stores; all of which I couldn't care less about.

I'm a little bummed about the hands-free mic...the description said built-in but in actuality it's a unit that plugs into the back of the stereo and then you have to route the wire to whenever you want to mount it. I didn't feel like pulling the dash apart just for a mic (and refused to route the cord on the outside of the dash) so I just drilled a small hole through the pocket and mounted it in the top left corner. For the amount of phone calls I take while driving, this should be perfect.



Even without upgrading the speakers, the change in sound quality is huge with this $100 stereo. Very pleased so far.

 

I appreciate your mention, lithium and water do not mix well!
No need for concern, neither my refrigerator or the freezer I have, have any drain holes in them. The battery is supposed to be pretty water-resistant, too.
In efforts of liquid mitigation, I do have condensate piping planned that will drain out through the sink's drain line, which will go to a 5G gray tank or a hole in the ground, depending on location.
This part gets a little tricky.
An automotive heater core in the freezer piped out to a pump inside a condensate catch will then carry on through well insulated lines to a 240mm PC radiator with fans in its own condensation catch for an improved AC system. This effort does hold some concern for water infiltration. I hope what I have planned flies right, given the limited space and all the components I'm working with the layout I have set up is about the only way I could conceive of it fitting in such a tight space.
Thanks!

 

Is it bad that I’m getting an itch for it??

 

Probably should wait till most of the kinks are worked out. Just saying.

 

Really loving the black fluid film!

My undercarriage/frame isn’t bad at all considering it’s been through 11 salt soaked winters. Just preventative maintenance.

 

Installed Timbren active offroad ubolt flip with 1/4" spacers. to help keep water/mud out these are a perfect fit...
