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

^Tiny oil filter?

 

It's what Wix's website recommended. I have no complaints with it.

 

Installed my Ultra Guage. Used one of the 3 switch blanks to mount it and drilled a small hole in the remote mirror blank.


Also installed my custom grill emblem from MetalMiller

 

Were there not switch blanks behind the ultraguage?

 

Installed my red line hood struts this evening

 

I do not have any switches directly below the vent, just 3 plugs/covers/blanks ( what ever you want to call them ). I pulled the center one out, drilled a hole and used a #10 x 1/2 sheet metal screw to mount the Ultra guage bracket.

 

... ^^^ ... Want Santa to bring those for Christmas ...

May I ask ... where did you get them ... ... were they difficult to install ... ... any installation tips ...

Almost lost my wrist when a hood shut on another Tacoma ... want to fix mine soon ... Thanks ...

I love the emblem. +1 for you sir.

 

Got them through the group buy, only a week left to get in on it here:

Install was easy, took 35-40 minutes tops. Measure two or three times, mark and use center tap to ensure your holes are accurate. Take your time and read through the instructions before starting, the tiny pics in the instructions sucked, but it's not too difficult to tell what's going on. You'll need a rivet gun since the two upper brackets use rivets to attach to the hood. Smaller brackets go on hood, larger brackets on fender.

 

20k service, oil change, and tire rotation free at the dealership. They even washed my truck for me. I was pretty impressed with the service and friendliness. Usually, I dread dealing with dealerships.

My local dealership lets you set up an appointment with a specific technician, and their names and pictures are online for you to see. There are a few decent looking women that you can have change your oil. The other two dealerships in my area don't have that option online.

 

Toytech billys all around, AAL 1.5 in rear going on tomorrow. Added TRD badges today and ordered tri-fold tonneau today. This is the before lift pic....normally not this dirty, been hunting and going down some back roads. First Taco and man I love it

idk, who easy is blood to clean out of that bedrug? also it may cause problems, and look like you killed someone.


lol. just messing with you. i’m wanting a sot topper. but with hunting, idk about the bed rug. my tail gate is already covered in blood from cleaning squirrels.

 

lol. most the time it’s dry by the time i could take care of it. don’t some of the bed rugs cover the hole bed even the sides?

the bloody cargo i would have, is deer/ maybe Turkey/ coyote or something. i’m not hunting people.

and ya thats why i want the soft topper over the best top. not to hid a body or anything. just hide what ever i have in the bed.

 

Finally got around to doing the hard wire for my radar detector. Installed weathertech floor mats and installed a 110 power outlet in my center console
Will upload pics later

 

yeah. most the time i just let the rain wash the bed out. lol

and i thought i have seen them.


no one just making sure no one got the wrong idea of blood in the bed.

 

And it's a larger than "normal" pop-rivet, so the cheapie stamped steel tool won't work.
The rotating head cast unit from Lowe's works great.

Also, use a stop collar on your drill bit (oddball drill size for the rivet too!).
The Taco came out fine, but I did put "blisters" in the hood on the wife's Rav4. The sheetmetal is so thin that when the drill broke through, it grabbed and there was no stopping it... even pulling back, it still pulled itself into the top surface enough to lift it.
Tried to be more careful on the other side and it did the same thing.

 

NICE u vap too huh? whats that the vision variable battery?
