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

Low 50’s here in Northern MA today.
No more excuses... I wired through the firewall for the Alpine Power Pack amp I got for Christmas.

90 x 2 wpc to my front doors now (Eclipse 6x8 point source components).

Glad it’s done. Sounds great!

 

I was planning on welding on my pelfrey sliders but i decided it would be a good idea to grenade my e locker axle and get to swap in a new rear axle. This brings my total bill of destruction between my 2 trucks up too 2 front diff s 2 cv axles and 1 rear axle.

 

Has anyone ever seen a TRD Pro grille for an 09?

 

Unless someone makes a Pro look alike grill for the pre-2012, it won't work without doing a facelift to the new front end style. From what I know, the facelift requires replacing the hood, headlights, grill, and bumper.

 

That's what I was thinking, I know the face lift is alot of $$$ and Agravation. It would be nice if someone made a insert that fit the earlier 2nd gen grilles

 

Parked next to this beauty at the grocery store...

 

Had to dig out a ricer (on semi-slicks no less) yesterday that was beyond stuck. Slid off the inside shoulder of Little Cottonwood Canyon into the ditch. Took 30 mins of digging and traction boarding just to get to a point where we could pull him out.

I will give Honda credit that they build in decent recovery points to the rear of their cars. Had it been a Kia, etc we would still be there.

 

Final install of Ham radio with custom bracket from @x250f23x




just checking NOAA function in picture

 

Took advantage of the mild temperatures today, did an interior clean up.

 

Looks quite bright

 

Got it dirty last night

 

First mods so starting off simple! Installed some nobs, added LEDs to the interior, reverse & license place, and a Fumoto valve while doing an oil & filter change.

 

Love the FJ style shift knob

 

Not as bright as it looks...lol

 

Thanks! It’s a stealth black knob from Ellis Precision.

 

Washed old girl.

 

Installed a Wheeler's poly 3/8" top spacer on my Bilstien's today. It's hard to see in the pic, but I managed around another inch from my measurements. I had about a 2" rake after the lift install, now it's about 1". Seems to ride better for some reason also, maybe more caster now? Idk
