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

Nice! Thanks man! Been thinking about doing this myself.

 

No problem. It's kind of essential to paint and move the horns for someone getting a Satoshi (like me) so it doesn't look like crap behind the grill. Hopefully I will have mine tomorrow...

I have hella horns so it wouldn't look so bad, although I want to put lights behind the grill so I would still have to move them.

 

Where did you move your horns and were the wires long enough or did you have to lengthen it?? Been wanting to do this for awhile

 

I moved mine right behind the fuse block in the engine bay. The wires were long enough.

 

I did the same thing. I popped out the clips around the horn wire (they have 2-3 clips into the metal, just squeeze and pull) and I had just enough length to run it along the side of the engine bay (under my negative battery cable) and to where I put the horns in. I put the horns in two pre-existing threaded holes near the back of the driver's side compartment, behind the fuse box.

I then just electrical taped my temperature gauge around the horn wire tubing near the horns.

Exactly, guidance and sharing things you've learned is great and helpful, just hate when it turns into a dick measuring contest about knowledge.

 

Installed a CBI Bushmaster 2.0 high clearance rear bumper with swing out

 

Ordered a 20' stick of HREW tube. Cuz im an idiot. And i ordered rock sliders for a reg cab when i have a dbl cab. O well. More fun for me. Besides itll be sentimental... 40$ later.

got these beauties in, and also bought a new torque wrench, just because I needed one I have one, but it's in Orlando... and I'm not driving 3 hours just to get a torque wrench; I'll buy a new one, lol








Also brought some parts home. There's an electronic button-type switch in the shifter that I think is not working right in mine because some of the gear indicator lights in the cluster are not coming on, and sometimes I can wiggle the shifter around in the gears and the lights will flicker on and off. So I'm going to try a complete new shifter assembly. Also got a blower motor to tear apart, clean up, and rebuild and de-squeek it before even installing it

 

Got her stuck in the ditch!

 

Cleaned out my TRD air filter about to change my oil and chage my spark plugs

 

I plan on doing my plugs soon. Almost 80k on them and I honestly don't know if they've ever been done Haven't really even poked around much and looked; how hard of a job is it? Seems like there's always one that's a royal pain in the ass to get to on every vehicle...

 

There not too bad, pass side is easier than the drivers

 

Need better springs. I put 800 lbs of pellets in my bed last week and the truck was level.

 

Finished drilling holes in frame for bamf sliders.

 

Not an Off-Road? I figured you could just back out of that?

 

lol you might of! I might not have the the best tacoma but its my tacoma lol still jealous of you big v6 off road guys!

 

Just installed my 2013 trd sport suspension on my 2010 sr5 that I got from Denk. lifted one inch and rides awesome!!! Must be something to the more expensive shocks. I think it lifted the nose an inch because his is a v6 and mines the four cyl. And in the rear because of the added leaf, mine only had two plus the overload and the new ones have three plus the overload. Anyways, Thanks Denk
