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

They are great quality! I was contemplating the powder coat option but I'm so glad I got it.

 

Installed some nerf bars.

 

after a few cuts, bungee cords and a little work i made my own little truck tent for my canopy. even sporting the colman logo =)

 

Nice! That bed looks pretty dang comfy too!

 

That's inventive, nice job!

And welcome to TW

 

That's innovative and damn cool.

 

x2 powder coat FTW

 

You destroyed a perfectly good standalone tent to build that? I would have too, looks very good. Thanks for sharing the idea.

 

Great job!

 

Where did you get the bracket for your light bar? I just recently bought a 50 inch radius bar but can't find a bracket that will fit it.

 

Put on a Bug Deflector today..

 

I like it!

 

Turned the AC to max setting and had some plastic grommet fly out from the top dash vent at me. It goes to something on this truck...

 

Changed the power steering fluid. Easy straight forward job.

 

Added a Redline Tuning Hood Strut kit.

 

ordered her a front hybrid and a standard rear from billy at brute force... shes gonna look gooooood

 

Yes the USB ports do charge devices. Everything nowadays has a USB so that's why I chose this type of socket.

I searched and searched but couldn't find what I was looking for. I know I should've done a write up but I kept forgetting to take pictures during the install. Pretty easy install though. I used a 12 gauge wire btw. 10 gauge should be good also.

First I found out where I wanted the socket to be, which was the center console... Then removed the center console (2 screws and 2 bolts) drilled the holes and test fitted. Routed the power wire to the front fuse box into the IGN fuse that is a 15amp fuse. Then grounded it under the center console because I didn't wanna waste too much wire. After wiring I tested to make sure everything worked fine and it did. Reassembled everything and tested again. Tested my shifter to make sure it didn't snag or get caught on anything and everything turned out fine.

I did this for when we go on long trips or if I have my nieces and nephews. Someone's always gotta charge something and I hated cords getting in the way from the front to the back. The bottom USB port is a 5V 2Amp which is strong enough to charge my Ipad!

FYI.. To make things easier when making the hole on that same panel I used... That panel can be detached from the center console for easier handling. Then snaps back into place when done. There are a couple of clips along each side, nothing on top or bottom. Snaps right off then right back on. Make sure not to force it because the clips can break.

 

Awesome I did the same thing a few days ago, although I just bought the basic one instead of the one with the black hardware.

 

How's the install. Pretty simple?

 

Thats a great mod, especially for guys with kids like you said. I have a feeling I'll be doing it soon.
