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

Thank you sir

 

i dont think this applies to your mirror. mine is a plain jane mirror on 2015, my backup cam is on oem touchscreen

 

Mounted 285/75's today (16x8 0 offset) from 265/75

Bring on the cheap gas, I'll need it
Tire shop put dressing on...

 

Took out the carpet mats and put in the WeatherTech’s.

 

Those Geolanders look badass. Probably the only mud terrain tire that I would go to. Nice looking truck!

 

Bigly agree man. I shopped hard for a 33 for months, only one that was as light and seemed to not sound like you're flying a Cessna. Theyre surprisingly quiet and feel better than my Falkens - i had an out of round tire that would never balance

My brothers got some nasty hunt land in south Georgia so we'll see how they fair

 

I have a base radio in my OR, my mirror is all tarted up, and definitely no touchscreen..

 

i didnt think the touchscreen was until 2014 or 2105 but i could be wrong

also if you have the the regular mirror then you could flip it, as long as no wiring to it

 

Touchscreens were out in 2012 however Toyota played around with moving the backup cam screen from mirror to radio in those final model years and sort of deleted features with the mirror if I recall.

 

that sounds accurate

i have to say the oem touchscreen in this thing seems legit, always grabs my local weather, traffic, bluetooth if i want, and this is coming from someone who never had a backup camera or anything like that. last ride was 21 year old 4runner, 2004 (loved it too) and why i got late model second gen instead of new pro4x, 3rd gen, 4th if i wanted to, i like the oldschool + a bit more bells, just had to find a clean one and lower miles. tried finding clean 1st gen but to no avail in MA

 

Jumped up to 37s today Toyo RT’s

 

Black Friday Maintenance Edition haul came in today lol, saved almost $500 on OEM parts. Roughly 200k service for what's left on the taco and wife's lexus, and 100K for my mothers Rav4.

 

1320 low pro total chaos style bed stiffs, mad nice powder coat, highly suggest these
I still have to drill them pop tails and 3 bolts each side but got a good hr worth done during my workout after 9 hr accounting shift, dogwalk w baby in sleet snow

4hr sleep and same thing again today

 

If you haven't already look into an aftermarket mirror riser. BirdDawg used to make one but I see their website is hosting some other stuff now. I'm tall and the riser was a great addition. the mirrors are laughably low compared to sitting position in these trucks.

Edit: First 2 pics in my post here are the BirdDawg riser but it essentially puts the mirror almost to the roof.

thanks and i knew about options for those, i think ones i heard of involved removing the oem mount pount and re epoxy it higher type of thing which i dont want to mess with

i oriented my flipped one a bit higher than in my photo and i must say, nice little addition of vis

sweet truck too i think i saw your build or will look at it more

 

I know people have had the risers break windows I have been lucky so far and not had any issues but I also dont use the ram ball mount to hold anything nor hang anything from my mirror. Fingers crossed I dont ever have an issue cause I like the placement it gives the mirror.

 

Thank you. It's come a long way. Still many more plans for it.

 

Got shipping notification for my arb bumper, fog lights, wiring harness and a free arb tire deflator.

 

Are those Katzkins?

 

Finished the 6 bolts vertical bolts for the 1320 stiffeners, the top bolt under the metal flange out of view was a lot of fun (blood at some point) , and I decided to extend breather since I had taillight off. Forgot shot of oem new valve but I went thru the bottom hole in taillight area so it was more vertical to better function. Threaded in frame rail and clipped up to a wire harness with slack above rear axle. i use a toothbrush style tool to clean what i could around breather union befor einstalling new union, with some teflon tape. had to light from rear hitch a bit for access with my stock ride height and spare under there
