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

Ya... mebbe send another PM.

 

I sold a 200 Shot Kit with a 20# Bottle. - That thing would stare at me in the corner asking me to do bad things. Temptation is gone.

 

To be honest, It was for a Current year 5.0 Mustang I wanted to build up. Had all the computers, turbo, gauges, exhaust, ... name it and it was there. I scrapped that projeect. sold off all the 'tang specific parts and the NOS was the last piece of the puzzle for me. I was hoping to retro fit it to my tacoma. Better parts of the brain were fighting with my heavy foot.

Decided I would like to BUILD the engine first before I decide to add NOS. With it sitting around, it was too much temptation to get lazy and cheat myself out of what I really wanted to go for.

I have always felt NOS should be icing on the cake. not the CAKE. In my case it would have been the focal point and I could see me breaking too many things in the engine. I think I am at the point where I want to get a Block and start from scratch. Some of the people here have done it already or are currently doing something similar. I know the X-Runner people are all on it. Thought a nicely done TRD would be interesting.

 

new shoes, love the way it sits and rides now.

 

The Toyota engines are built nicely as is and as you said, with a little tuning and the addition of the proper mods, GREAT gains are to be had.

 

Towed a big ass trailer, Probably a... 6ft enclosed... Full probably weighted...2500lbs? i could be over/under estimating but either way, Truck did AWESOME! had to kind of romp it a bit and kind of run the 4.0 harder on hills then i would have liked but the tranny cooler lines worked awesome...

I couldnt be more proud of my truck My best friend is like, IN LOVE with my truck he has pictures on his phone and literally everywhere we go hes like, DUDE look at this guys tacoma!

HA LOVE IT!

 

What head unit is this? Looking for a new one that will work well with my iPhone 5

 

What size?

 

Plasti dipped.

 

That's a Pioneer AVH-X5500BHS with an eBay parking brake bypass module and the SiriusXM Connect receiver. Keep in mind that the receiver works on the XM system, which here in Canada is a bigger deal, since XM's satellites are frequently blocked by anything to the south of the vehicle, like buildings and mountains, whereas Sirius has a better satellite system and gives better coverage.

I used an IDatalink Maestro for the steering wheel controls. You set it up with your computer and can program the buttons to do two functions.

The dash kit is a

$29 Metra 95-8235CHG Double DIN Dash Installation Kit for 2012 Toyota Tacoma Vehicles (Charcoal High Gloss)

Metra 95-8235CHG which fits the 2012's and up.

 

Congratulations for not putting those gay devil horns on your emblem, especially with the red!

 

what does the "parking brake bypass module" do?
never heard of that on a head unit.

Today I finally installed my I'mMrYo mirror bracket.
Great product and so much nicer looking out windscreen now...

need to mall crawl to find out if i'll rub anywhere

 

oh that explains why I didn't know what it was. I've never had the desire to have a dvd in the truck...

 

Took the Toyota mud flaps off & replaced them with Weather teck. Then put the small aluminum skid shield on todat.

 

Replacing my front brakes and rotors shortly, also painting my calipers so they look snazzy. I hope the rotors come off with ease but they probably won't.
