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

Put a coat of Wax on her.....

 

Led lights in the 3rd brake light on the cab.

 

Worked/abused a bit.

 

Well I've been working on the tacoma srs airbag wiring for a few days, plenty of soldering, splicing, and studying schematics.

 

3" lift, new Konig Countersteer Offroads, new Nitto Terra Grappler 265/75/16's and an alightment!!!

 

don't they always?

 

FINALLY warmed up above freezing temps long enough for me to wash the old girl, and I installed my Christmas present..Ahhh satellite radio add on to my Pioneer AVH P-3300 with the Pioneer GEX-P920XM XM Satellite Radio unit. Easier install than I was fearing. I put it under the passenger seat and ran wires no problemo.... and now schweeeeeeet static free music on my ride to work... ahhhh

 

Drove it to pick up a Versa Haul motorcycle carrier.

 

Yesterday: Rolled the Odometer past 10K
Oil Change + Tire rotation

Today: Relocated Horns
Painted Radiator Black
Painted Door panels, A/C control panel, and Stereo Surround.

 

New rotors and brakes today. Finally replaced factory ones after 77k miles. Getting my kenwood in dash gps installed on the 20th with the Bluetooth adapter as well

 

Did the 12v accessory plug always on mod.

Finished rigging up my Allpro sliders.

Took out the passenger rear seat storage. Had the driver side out already.

 

Can I ask why?

 

How do you like it? I have been thinking about getting it for my AVH P4200. How big is the unit? You say you put it under the passenger seat?

 

Can u show in action? I'm interested, for dirt or sport bike?

 

The drivers side was out because my backpack would not fit with it in there. I'm taking the other side out for more room also and I'm kicking around doing something like this...

Made some frame reinforcement mounts for when I really need to pull from my bumper, started on my skids, and aligned my lights.

 

I really like it. I live in a very rural area so static radio is a constant, plus I drive an hour + one way to work every day so it was a worthwhile investment. The control unit is about an inch thick and maybe 7"X10". Not big at all. I put it under the passenger seat no problem. Took the seat out, unplug the airbag plug, used four screws that came with unit to attach it somewhat to the carpet just to hold it in place. I put the elbow brackets that came with the unit on the high position just to give it airflow space below it because there are floor vents under the seat. There are two cords for the unit, one goes to the antenna and one goes to the radio with a power line attached to it. I ran the antenna cord under the carpet out the passenger door at the upper dash level, went right to the hood and up the windshield line to the roof where the antenna 'blob' attaches via a strong magnet to the roof. *TIP* the cord will sink/fit right into the windshield channel but use a CREDIT CARD to push it down in there not a flat head screwdriver...that insulation is NOT tough and you will cut it. yes i found out the hard way, electrical tape is my friend. Then I ran the other radio/power cord up the floorboard behind the glove box (easy to take out) fished it behind the radio plugged in the cord, clamped the power line onto the radio power line and BOOm. Done. Then activation was SIMPLE. I went online, entered info and had the radio on while they sent my signal. Much easier than I thought. The whole process including activation took mmmmaybe 45 minutes.

 

Cool, I would love to secure an AR in my truck!

 

OEM Bed Mat. No more stuff sliding around!
