Bought a 2010 TRD OR DCSB this last weekend. 2nd Tacoma, first 2nd gen. Really stoked. Already have found a ton of knowledge in these forums and am looking forward to seeing where things go.

Nice. Did you make/move any heat shields? And... is armor next?

Thinking about it! I could also get a 0.5" top plate spacer that would help as well which would be an easier option and per Headstrong's site:

"These spacers go on top of the strut mount and do NOT change the quality of ride. The lift is achieved simply by positioning the strut assembly down 1/2", which translates to approximately 1" of lift (1/2" spacing is accentuated down to the LCAs and out to the wheels thus resulting in approximately 1" lift)."

Don't forget you need longer bolts to run the spacer.

@HeadStrong Off-Road includes the bolts with their top plate spacers.

Did you check your spare?

The spare doesn't have a sensor.

In Holloman's defense his year Tacoma, 2008, the Spare does have a TPMS Sensor. TPMS Sensors were removed from the spare mid MY2010. My 2010 TRD O/R Access Cab still had the Spare tire TPMS Sensor.

With all these skid plates .... how are the heat shields going to fall off and end up on the side of the road ? ... Didn't think of that ...

Anyone running 5100s with 887 coils but have the 5100s set on the 1st 0.85" setting? Mine are currently at "0" up front but I was thinking about cranking them up to the 1st notch since my rear is about 3" higher than the front.

Thoughts?

Lift with the springs, not the shocks. As mentioned, get top plate spacers if you want to bump it up.

what kind of lift are you running in the rear to lift it 3" higher than 5100's with 887 coils in the front

It's been a productive weekend. Installed my fridge with slide, onboard air compressor, and ghetto rigged some maxtrax mounts.

Tested the capacity of the Indel-B TB51A refrigerator/freezer and fit 60 cans and 6 bottles with a little room to spare.

Good looking build you got going on

This is handy! It's going to be 115˚ next week here in AZ so I'll be keeping an eye on the engine temp.

I have the Torque app and can't figure out how to display the trans temp? Isn't that just the engine temp or am I just teh dumbz?

No. I once was blind but then found the thread....

This code appears to work with the 05 to 09 for each of the two Transmission fluid temp. sensors:

Here is how I entered in Torque:

For sensor 1 (Pan Temp):

OBD2 Mode and PID:
21D9

Long Name:
Transmission Fluid Temperature 1

Short Name:
TFT 1

Minimum Value:
0.0

Maximum value:
220.0

Scale factor:
x1

Unit Type:
*F (there is a degree symbol in Torque to use in place of the *)

Equation:
((((E*256)+F) * (7/100) – 400)/10)

OBD Header to use:
left blank

For sensor 2 (Converter outlet temp):

OBD2 Mode and PID:
21D9

Long Name:
Transmission Fluid Temperature 2

Short Name:
TFT 2

Minimum Value:
0.0

Maximum value:
220.0

Scale factor:
x1

Unit Type:
*F (there is a degree symbol in Torque to use in place of the *)

Equation:
((((G*256)+H) * (7/100) – 400)/10)

OBD Header to use:
left blank

Let me know if this works!

Just follow the dirty finger.

Once here you simply input the info. Then go to ad display in the main display and scroll till you find your new transmission temp

Installed the Gentex Compass, Temp and Homelink mirror from Copper_Z71 (on eBay, not sure his name on here). The kit was fantastic. Very easy to do. I ran my temp cable thru the firewall by pushing it thru the hood release grommet (it was actually pretty easy to get it thru there). I also re-mounted my hardwired radar detector, my Thinkware dash cam (which is hardwired and wired for parking mode). The other antenna is for my remote start.
