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

-Hit 170,000 miles on my '05.
-Changed oil & filter.
-Replaced misc. missing body clips.
-Replaced the HVAC blower motor resistor and harness plug.
-Still trying to diagnose why and where coolant is spewing out from.

 

Thanks!!

So far I like them, I just didn't want the standard straight tube side steps, I'm not a fan of them..

I had the rear bumper blasted to take the chrome down, and had it painted, I also replaced the chrome grill with a black one. I'm sure a lot of people think it's a sport on the street. Well people in the know that is..

 

P3 trailer brake controller Sunday. Boost gauge install Tuesday. Tint yesterday. Nfab nerf bars installed today. Finished the snaps and velcro on the Softopper since it's been pretty warm/hot and I think the canvas has stretched and found it's comfortable position.

 

Installed weathertech floor mats and an OEM roof rack tonight.

Added an antennax short antenna, but just took it off because it gets shitty reception and makes a stupid whistling noise north of 60mph. I read mixed reviews on it and figured for $20, I'd find out for myself. It sucks. I put the original one back on. So it bumps the garage door... *shrug*

 

Oh, and since I broke one front mudflap 4 wheeling, I took the other one off.

Why the fuck did they put rigid mud flaps on a 4x4? They're ASKING you to break them.

 

*$290.55 for the NFabs shipped BTW. Best price I could find.

Shipped and arrived FAST. Like two or three days between ordering and arriving.

 

I forgot about getting the Weathertechs in last week as well.

Think I'm still under 100lbs of mods.

One of the reasons I went w/ the NFabs and not something beefier.

Softopper 34lbs.
Weathertechs approx. 4 lbs. front and rear but the factory rubbers were removed so likely a net of 1 lb.
Tint ¼ oz.
P3 trailer brake controller 8 oz.
Nfabs. 40lbs?

Supercharger unknown. Parts were put on but parts came off. The box of removed parts isn't light.

I'm guessing right at 100 lbs ADDED for ALL mods. But I also ADDED 60 HP and 60 Tq.

 

Just ordered the MBRP catback exhaust. From Amazon.

And doing some stuff this weekend......

 

Removed switch from bed lights and installed wireless remote.
Installed Switch back leds and did the dtrl mod.
Installed and marked thule square bar roof rack on my truck. Marked the location points inside door for future use, then removed and put it in the shed lol.

 

I'll get some pics of my gas can, hi lift jack and front bumper with my skid plate installed but here is the rear bumper and tire mount my buddy Fabbed up for me. And yes he is taking orders. Also it's not finished being painted. I know the zip ties kill it on my license plate but the led bolt lights didn't come in on time. Tomorrow my led rear tail lights go in also

 

Like minds. Woo F'n hoo.. I just order this...

I would've given yall mine...I hate it...it's loud and annoying and droans terrible

 

Ordered the Avid light bar and sliders.

 

Ordered a set of General Grabbers AT2. I'm done with those dunflops

 

Removed OEM Badges, kept the rear stickers.

 

dammit! lol I figured for the price, worse case I'll add a resonator.

 

I swapped out my old ticking blower mower for the new improved non ticking version. It only took about 15 minutes or so. I couldn't even tell it was running when I turned on the truck until I put my hand over the vent. Next up I am removing my mud flaps. The fronts began to tear off last summer and now my driver side rear is doing the same. I think the truck is trying to tell me they should go.

Here is a video someone made showing how to swap out the blower motor.

I also cleaned my home made air filter while swapping the blower motor.

 

Thats a nice tire rack, I've been debating trying to fab up a baja rack of my own.

 

Took new pictures after getting back from getting my shitty ass tires patched.. And decided after work this weekend I am building a tire carrier..
