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

Where did you get the lightbar? Looking to get a 30" soon

 

As usual I haven't had time to post so here is what I've done over the past few months. Got a new front bumper(for FREE), relocated my rear diff breather using Neubs write up, added a big ass scratch during snowpocalypse, and plasti dipped my side mirrors and lower valance.

 

Looks good man, I want that grille!

 

Honestly got it on eBay for 125. I'll shoot you the link came from San Fran took 2 days it's a bad ass light.

Don't say a 36" will fit my wife will hate me if I change it up again it's already my second light hahaha.

 

Pressed the old bushings out of my Light Racing upper control arms. What a pain in the dick.

Its an aftermarket piece from Ebay. It fits well, but not 100%. There is an OEM counterpart for about 4x the price though. If you search "Tundra USB" on google, it'll bring up the part.

 

Dayum, where you buying your fuel line at? I paid $1.40ish/ft when I did mine.

 

Sketched this up for 06texas who a couple pages back was blowing fuses on his 4 light setup ran without relays- agreed I'm no electrician, so critique as you please!

4 55 watt halogens, one relay.

If wired right, he should be much safer following my diagram. Lemme know if I've made a mistake and let it be a lesson to everyone in the thread- RUN A RELAY IF YOUR CIRCUIT IS OVER TWO AMPS.

 

I did get my truck back today having the lift done, I also put on my N-Fab step bars, I will post pics when I get my wheels and tires...

 

Thanks man, I used this write up http://satoshigrill.blogspot.com to repair the previous owners attempt at the mod with good results and the emblem part # 75311-90K00. Should give it a shot if you have a free weekend.

 

I suck with this shit I followed this and got it working with ease basically what you drew just looks nicer haha. Good write up though

 

napa.....they only had injector line avail. i was coming from work and had already cut the length i needed...when the guy said 4.99 i cringed and just ate the price

 

Yeah I was gonna just send him a generic one like that, (there are hundreds floating around)
But I figured if he wired up four lights with no relay in the first place, it'd be best just to address every single wire he is gonna come across and show exactly where to plug what as clearly as possible. No mistakes, no car fires, no bad days and more beer for all.

 

Cheers to that one.

Yeah running the whole thing with no inline fuse or relay is a bad ideA. I've heard of people doing it in rhinos n stuff but when it comes to your truck the safer the better. Plus I know most people don't roll around with a fire extinguisher in their trucks. First thing I bought my wife and I haha plus I'm in fire protection so didn't really pay for em

 

I had a new Leer shell installed today.

 

I fixed my truck today. Headed for town this AM had a clicking noise somewhere in the drivetrain, kinda like a U joint but I had this noise only in forward. Noise didn't change on load or freewheeling. I was thinking U joints, steady bearing, rear end bearings, I was thinking the worst case scenario . I crawled under the couldn't see anything wrong. I jacked up the rear, had both wheels off the ground locked in the rear end and had a friend turn the wheel which turned the driveshaft. I crawled under again "BINGO" there was a small piece of sheet metal on the front right side of the gas tank, this sheet metal was pulled away from the tank and rubbing the driveshaft. Don't need a U joint, don't need a rear end rebuild, don't need a wheel bearing YAAHHHOOO.I have been pushing through a lot of snow recently, I guess I broke the sheet metal tab loose.

 

What's with the fancy CV axle?

 

Ordered some new driving lights

Will work on review when installed

 

The lights are already grounded to the light bar itself so I don't need to wire them to battery
