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

Looks good. I also bought mine from mattgecko. Where did you get that pin switch?

 

Congrats! I hate to be that guy but you might want to check the angle of that car seat. The back angle looks very steep for a new born. If his head slumps forward he can suffocate himself. It "looks" like it needs a pad underneath so the baby lays more horizontal.

 

Lol swap the baby and driver. Quite the horizontal lay in that driver seat.

 

Well, I picked up the broken pieces to my taillight. I came home from walking the dog and discovered it broken. Wondering what happened and a bit pissed off thinking someone did it maliciously, I went in the house. A minute later, a neighbor came over and told me it was a couple kids on bikes. One of them hit it on accident.

So...I need to buy a new one. Any recommendations on cool after-market taillights?

 

Check with the local police department. They should have a certified car seat installer. I'm not one, but I know for certain size car seats (possibly rear facing) they use pool noodles for the install. BTW- congrats on the best mode ever!

 

I would check out the black Depo tail lights.

Adding some off-road lighting relays and built the power and control harness for it today.

I broke a tail light a few months back and went with the black depo lights for replacements. I like them. There's pics in my build thread if you want some more

 

Got some new tires, Goodyear Duratracs.

 

It has been checked out and deemed properly set up by a certified installer (coincidentally my landlord/neighbor was due within 4 days of my wife so they went together), however I could get a second opinion, safety first of course. I believe it is more flat than it looks, but appreciate the concern.

 

Good job, I had a design identical to this (minus the professional draftwork) and haven't yet built it. I was going to use these for the adjustable arms.

Towed my Integra out to a local (2hrs+) drag strip event today.

I just trimmed off the plastic end until the tailgate shut completely and the switch grounds itself in the metal where it is mounted.

 

How / where does this attach? does this go in the bed?

 

thats exactly how i planned on doing mine

 

Did connect the power from the battery Sunday and for grins & giggles I took one of the lights and connected the power wire to remaining pin on relay and taped the ground to same spot as battery ground. Lights will actually be grounded to that visible bold inside the box. Everything worked like a champ!

 

I made some brackets for tool mounts that use quick fists mounts and the bed rail attachments. Thanks to Benson X and his great write up. ://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-hi-lift-and-tool-mounts.260147/. Also went old school with my tailgate.

 

Thanks...exactly what I want to do. Where did you put the 3-way switch - in the cab or in the bed? And which 3-way did you use? Thanks.

 

NFab light racks front and back. Part of TForce pkg, but they can be purchased through NFab.

Here's another angle.
