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

Yes.

 

A torque wrench is supposed to be stored at but not below the lowest setting.

 

perfect

going to dble check mine right now

 

As I installed add-a-leafs today my dog helped by contributing to the proper weight load.

 

One that I just made. I own a cabinet shop so it was pretty simple, about like any drawer box really.

 

That is kick ass!

How did you wired it for it to unlock/lock with the alarm?

 

Yes actually, it did. Some random terrible luck from Energy efficient windows reflecting on my truck in the Vegas heat melted my grill and driver side mirror. Took tons of Googling to figure out that was what caused it, and still not 100% sure.

Apparently this is a huge problem in other countries, and is happening more and more here in the US. poorly made energy efficient windows start to curve, becoming a magnifying glass, and can burn plastics on cars. Sounds fun right.

Going to the stealership tomorrow to have them fix the driveline vibration problem I've been having. Had vibration around 10-14mph, and 38-44mph. Put it in 4hi and Holy Shit it got loud!

Crawled under the driver side and grabbed onto the cv at the diff and its loose as a goose. WTF.

 

what type of tracks did you use for the drawer? have any drawing or sketches of build? how did you fasten it down?

 

Tight. Undermount slides?

 

yes you are. i was busy playing with it and taking pictures lol. some people say store at 25% but the manual clearly states at exactly 20(lowest point)

 

KV brand full extension ball-bearing guides rated at 500lbs and extend 5ft. Entire case is fastened to bed with carriage bolts, then drawer fitted to case, then plywood shelf fitted on top and covered with indoor/outdoor carpet. No drawings, just built it as a one-off in about two days.

 

Just did a bottle opener and diff breather mod today

 

These???

Yep, pricey aint they. I didn't mind the cost of the guides and some plywood tho after
seeing these drawers go for over $2000. on-line. DIY is always cheaper and usually better.

 

That is awesome man!! It shows you build cabinets for a living.
