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

scored a accesscab betmat off craigslist for $30 today, cut it and made it fit my shortbed.

 

Yeah I drive a lot. Minimum 44miles round trip for work plus a trip to FL every couple of months. Nearest decent town to buy stuff is minimum 100 miles round trip and the mountains are always calling on the weekends.

 

yep same here.

I love glock. G22 was the 2nd hang gun i ever shot, i was about 9 or 10 years old. If someone held a glock and sig in front of me, i’d take the glock any day!! prover a .40. The newer 357 models are pretty nice as well.


I would not mind putting a Glock sticker on the inside of a tool box or something. but not on the window of my truck.

 

Had a new alarm installed today, Viper Responder 350 with hood pin, magnetic rear window and IR sensor.

Feeling slightly safer lol

 

I bought a new one: 2013 Access Cab, TRD Off Road, V6, six-speed manual, Barcelona Red. I put on a camper shell. Hope they'll have it delivered within a week.

I had to say goodbye to my 2005 Access Cab, TRD Sport 4WD, V6 Auto, silver. Guy hit me from behind on the freeway, slammed me into the car in front. A lot of panel damage, twisted the bed, and significant frame damage. The insurance company totaled it.

I had 165,000 miles on it, including a lot of hard work off-road and towing, and the insurance company paid me $20K replacement value, which is nice.

New to the forum, too.

 

Installed a ConsoleVault... Now to go oil something that fits inside!

 

Me likey. What does one of those go for?
Oh yeah, welcome Gwen.

 

Congrats on the new ride. We have two northern Nevada threads if you want to check them out.

I got my mirror lift today and actually got the $ sent off before putting it on. I have to say, "I love it". Hopefully no more close calls at a 4-way stop and someone turning left in front of me that I didn't notice because I was to lazy to duck my head under the mirror to see if someone was on the right. I am actually able to adjust the mirror more to the right as it is above the headrest height now.

Thank You ImMrYo for a great product!

 

Painted my spindles

 

Going to fill up the tires with Nitrogen tomorrow. I miss the feeling of higher stability from the tires themselves and overall lightness feeling that my previous car's tires had after I filled them up. I have yet to do it to this one, and I figure I might as well do it now since I'm doing my oil change tomorrow.

For those wondering, YES I am sensitive to minor changes in my car/truck. I used to be able to FEEL the EGR valve working on my old Mitsubishi 3000GT going down the highway! That was so annoying.

 

you know regular air contains 78.08% nitrogen right

 

Parked the truck next to the tent. Under a flash flood warning now. Truck may become a camper. Lol I doubt it though. Kinda nice laying here in the rain. There's been about 3" of rain in the last few hours with 2" more to be expected by 1130.

 

Not in California. It is 40% crack smoke down there.

 

Ran wiring for wideband....
Ordered extra harness to cut into and extend the original harness....
Ordered lotek a pillar gauge pod.....
Talked to G man and ordered a walbro


Still have 1 new boost gauge for sale and mount.

 

I know that. Lol I used to be opposed to Nitro until I switched to it. The difference between 78.08% and 100% nitro is a very large difference surprisingly! Not to mention the fluctuation of air PSI when it was cold and when it wasn't never really changed like it did when I had shop air in the car, nor did I have to air up my tires for like 6 months or more If I recall?

Call me crazy, but I know and feel differences when I see/ and there is them. It is okay for new ideas to be implemented to the auto industry every once in a while you know!

 

i run co2 lo

 

Ditched my Metra dash kit for the Scosche. It's like night and day. Metra was flimsy, did not fit snugly, and I had to trim it to fit my Pioneer AVH-X550BHS. The Scosche fits perfectly. Made well, sturdy. No fuss with the install. No swapping clips or brackets, etc. I wasn't so sure I would like the matte finish but I love it. Wish I woulda got the Scosche to begin with. F the Metra p.o.s.

 

I see your Co2 and raise you Propane inflated tires!

Anyone got a BIC lighter handy?? Lol

BTW, sic looking rig dude, I saw your build thread a while ago. I envy you a little

 

very nice. i may do that same. idk what kit i have. it came free from crutchfield.
