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

Simple to do!
Took unit! Made by ( BYTECH) good for Tablets,GPS,Gaming Devices,mp3 players, mobile phones - 2.1 amp output!

Cut just above metal grounding tabs, split unit soldered wire to pos and neg.
Shrink rapped it.

Drilled hole in console @ this location.

Glued unit in place!

Ran wires to fuse box found power only when on,tapped into, installed a 1 amp inline fuse, the ground wire, I grounded!
Good to go!!hyeah:

 

pretty cool

 

Thanks. Have you plugged anything into it yet? That 1 amp fuse should blow if you hook up a 2 amp device, like my smart phone (Moto Electrify), or two 1amp devices. Might bump that up higher, probably 3 amp.

 

did you buy these or was it DIY?

 

Painted the Toyota emblem black

 

[QUOTE="OldManTan";6690958]Looks great. I have the front fold down window and love it. It's nice being able to clean all the crud out that accumulates in there, with out having to remove shell.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that's going to be nice. my last unit didn't have a front window, just the boot to "seal" against the back of the cab...which over time wore off the paint on the cab.

 

Well -- this was yesterday. But I detailed the Tacoma and finally had enough free time to throw on the OEM skid plate. Looks great on the silver exterior with black bumpers and fenders!

 

Washed it.

 

Washed and waxed off the winter funk.

 

Just put in my Weather Tech mats and new Sirius XM reciever today on my lunch break! Ready for the drive home from work... 20 minutes!

 

I had intended on changing the oil but apparently I never re-ordered filters after the last change. I did find a good deal on filters online though. While inspecting the engine bay and surrounding area I found a small dead bird wedged against the airbag sensor next to the passenger side of the radiator. Wasn't there too long.

 

put some Honda parts on it

but in all seriousness I found some plastic clips that are PERFECT replacements for the ones all over the front of the truck, maybe even better than the stock ones. they're a little larger and fit more snugly.

Advance Auto Parts, I think they're $3 something a box with 3 in each box. took me 3 packs to replace all the ones falling apart on my 06, but I still have a couple spares too

 

I got some Nissan ones for my radiator shroud too

 

TOYOTA emblem custom cut from 1/8" brushed aluminum on grill. A is looking a little cocked. Need to polish & buff it tonight. Deciding if I like the look & want to keep it.

 

That looks really nice! Definitely keep it!

 

Colormatch it! I will whore out my truck's grille to give you an idea.

Where does one find this emblem?

 

Mine are just the "Raptor" letters from B.A.M.F, but I requested that they only be 2'' by 2'' instead of the massive regular "Raptor" letters.

I think he said his was custom made.
