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

You will likely find that you need to shorten the stroke on those, which is fortunately an easy process. General rule of thumb is that your bumpstop travel should be no more than 40% of your up travel, ideally less. So with a 4" bump, you'd want a minimum of 10 inches of up travel.

 

Very cool, looks good!

 

Where did you get those center caps? Those are cool! I never put mine in. I have the same wheels in bronze.

 

Pretty hohum day. Made an adapter for my new MAF that I will install with my FJ TRD air intake tube. Had to order a new silicone coupler to complete the install so now I have to wait.

 

I like this. So, you wired them to the back of the cig port? Is that pretty straightforward? Thx.

 

Oil change and engine air filter

 

Was at the right place at the right time to score a free aluminum fuel tank skid plate. Thanks Jack wherever you are!

my buddy is fabricating a bed cage for him to mount fiberglass, shocks, twin 35” tires as well as a drawer system and he took his old fuel cell off and gave me the skid plate. Huge win for me today.

 

I'd say jersey kinda is over the top with that stuff. Our roads are permanently white from the amount of brine and salt the over use.

 

was literally just working on a truck that looks like yours in a similar condition lol.

 

installed the JD fab inner fender kit today. My stock metal was completely damaged and cracks everywhere

 

Softopper installed today and I’m very happy with it!
For reference it was made for a 3rd gen Tacoma 6ft bed.

 

the soft topper I installed on my truck came of a 2018 Nissan frontier 6ft box as my truck is a 6ft log box. I called soft topper and they said it will fit but might stick up 3/4” in the front. I took there word and it fits perfect. I tightened the front strap tight, it might stick 1/2” higher in the front but you can’t tell by looking at it. So if you guys have 6ft box the Nissan frontier soft topper will work fyi.

 

Looks good!

 

Could you help me out with the instructions to get the transmission temp?

 

If it's the truck in your signature that's a manual it won't work, sensors are for automatic trans. If it's for an auto just look in the users manual in the M codes section and it shows you step by step how to pull up the code and what to change it to for it to work. The "abbrev" is what it will show on your screen for the label, in my case I did Tc and Trn, and abbrev 2 is the degrees Fahrenheit. Navigating the ultragauge menu and changing the values is a little weird at first with the 3 buttons but you'll get the hang of it

 

Which version of ultragauge are you running? I have the EM version, do you know if it can do the same as MX, regarding trans temp monitoring?

 

I believe EM cannot, only the MX supports M codes. I thought I saw somewhere you could send it in and pay a bit to upgrade it to an MX but not positive on that.

 

I thought I read somewhere on here that was the case. Didn't know they offered the upgrade option. I'll have to look into that. Thanks man!

 

Just ordered the Lexus fill and drain plugs.

 

Rear diff?
