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

Helped @Shenanigans613 install a little something last night. Get in here Justin and tell the people what it was!!

 

Loved mine today

 

I'll roll 246k tomorrow on my 06... She's pretty. Not perfect, or incredibly unique, but she's mine.

 

Well shit... @ChadsPride liked my comment... Don't I have to pay for that type of thing?

 

Guilty as charged.

 

Well welcome to TW!

 

Am and always will be free!!!!







Minus the cost of any mods/bitching from the wife.

 

Many thanks!

 

Sold my ARB bumper yesterday...

Did the fog light anytime mod and installed my Rigid Fog lights. Still need to figure out/fab up a way to mount the fog lights in a more level way on the Brute Force bumper.

Edit: I wish the amber lenses matched my parking lights a bit more but whatevs. I finally have a use for my fog switch for the first time in 6 years.

 

Lmao, I had a Cali lean for a day when I only got the front lift done and had to rush to work. Shit was all kinds of weird. Staring at the sky while I was driving.

 

Finally got my audio system done after 6 weeks of shipping delays, defective parts, asshole vendors, rain, and daylight savings (I don't have a garage).



Changed dash to black



Ominous pile of parts



I bought a sub box from Supercrew Sound but they made it too big to fit in my truck and then blamed me, saying that my Taco must be different from the millions of other trucks built between '05 - '11 because "they sell these things all day long and have never had a problem". So I said F U and built my own out of 3/4" Birch plywood.



Amp rack space was tight so I made a removable panel that the amps are mounted to so I could get to the adjustment knobs on the sides of the amps.





Seats reinstalled and plenty of clearance for airflow.





I had some friends helping me install the speakers in the doors and we were kind of rushed so I didn't get any pics of their installation.

 

Completed sound deadening on the rear cabin wall with two layers. First layer is Noico 80Mil sound deadening Mat and the second layer is Noico 157Mil Heat Insulation. It's definitely a improvement in Music Audio and Road Noise. Next will be the Back Doors. Also ordered a Drivers side Retro Hood Stripe from CBoy and Relentless Fab Hood hinge Brackets.

 

Installed my new dead pedal today

Id be interested in seeing some details on this. How its mounted, ect.

 

What brand is that? That looks awesome!

Make sure you hit up the New England B.S Thread!

How hard/costly was that to do? It's on my list. I also want to replace the rear trim panel with something sexier since I deleted my jump seats and the headrests.

 

Finally got around to making my dog platform.

Thanks to the OP on this thread for the idea.

It's not hard at All. Took about 3.5hrs. It's roughly 8sqft. Removed the seats and panel yesterday and installed the sound deadening today.

A 37.5 sqft roll of 157Mil was 55.00.

The 18sqft Of 80mil was 35.00. It comes in 20"x14.5" pieces. And I purchased a roller. Thanks.

 

So...

And @nazlax10 said LET THERE BE LIGHT, AND THERE WAS LIGHT!

Not completed yet though. Have to wait for paint to dry on machined ring, and then will "glue" it all in place.

But at least the wiring is done for the lighted Hilux 4x4 switch, and it works.

THANKS A MILLION TO DAVE FOR ALL HIS HELP THROUGH THIS ALL. AS WELL AS A HUGE THANKS TO @Up2NoGood AND @kgarrett11!
