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

I washed it with turtle wax ice car wash & waxed it with Meguiar's ultimate wax. The Meguiar's ultimate liquid wax goes on really easy with my porter cable buffer & comes off just as easy.

 

Nice to know... Doing the same this week sometime. All Meguiar's professional line. Since I've gotten the taco, I've only used Protect-All(I love this stuff). It works on everything!

 

[QUOTE="OldManTan";8842117]That is a fantastic idea!! I always wanted one, but knew I'd forget to keep it topped off. Any more pics, info would be great to help me along. [/QUOTE]

I just removed a tail light, tapped the parking light wires, ran a cable (two wires in a plastic sheath) under the truck to the front of the bed, soldered on a charging plug (Radio Shack), secured the charger unit, and plugged it in.

It is always topped off and not over-charged. My truck battery is not affected since it only charges when the parking lights are on.

I put one in my wife's van, my mother's car and my mother-in-law's, as well.

All of us have used ours at least once, mostly on other people's vehicles!

 

Pics?

 

on my new to me taco

changed out all 4 shocks 5100's in front and stock trd bilstein in rear
k&n cold air intake, full set of fit weathertech mats
removed mudflaps, debadge

 

finally installed the rear diff breather mod... had parts sitting around for a while. Now time to find a deep puddle to test it out in!

 

Finally got around to installing my OEM roof rack. Seems like it should have gone easier than it did, but all's well that ends well.
Most frustrating part was when I went to attach the crossbar onto the right rail, the captured nut that it screws down to wasn't well captured and fell out. Had to take the rail back off to put it back in place.

 

I bought a hood lighting kit and modded it to use in my shell.

 

Installed Cooper AT3 based on the last Overland Journal Tire Test.

 

Drove it....

 

Put on some spidertrax today and gave her a bath.

 

^^^too much! looked better before....

 

I tend to agree. To each is there own tho

 

Oh yeah....and Jeremy....shit looks like poop!

 

Haha thanks Linwood. The rears stick out a little more but it looks good in person.

 

I like the wider stance^^^ but toooo wide looks retarded.

I got rid of my take off drive line vibes and cleaned her up. Also re torqued my uBolts.
Next on the list is cut my drivers side cab mount back further and weld the plate back on.

 

Installed my xb led fog lights by TRS

 

Used it to winch a Ram 1500 out of sand.

The Ram's front axle didn't engage and the driver buried it. (No skills, no gear, no water in 105 degree heat.)

I first saw him while I was driving my Jeep, but I went back and got the Taco since it has all my pioneer gear and I don't have the Jeep built up yet.

It turned out to be the right move.

Red Sands?

Finally got the upper hand on the craptastic dash kit
Pioneer nav system installed

Sorry, no pics. Was too busy working on it.
