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

I was looking for one of those ajt TRD key fobs a few weeks ago. I didn't ask about these since I was looking for a 3rd gen one, but I believe these are all TRD. Probably all that's left. It's a picture sent to me from 1 of their workers (Veronica) at www.longotoyota.com And yes, they can ship it out to you. In case anyone is still wanting one

 

Helped my buddy install new beefy adjustable track bars on his JKUR. People say solid axles are simple but I disagree... they’re super confusing to me hahaha

 

Its just a spline drive
I split mine once as well and ordered this one from Amazon

$14 MCGARD 65300 SplineDrive Installation Tool - 13/16" Hex Size, Silver

You confirmed that works and is long enough? It is as long as the stock one? Toyota has a short one that caused tools to rub the wheel face. I’ll order that as insurance in a heart beat if so. Thanks for the tip!

 

Its the same dimensions as the one that came from Toyota in their "locking" lug kit.

 

This is nothing related to my truck, but A 2nd gen powered Noah’s ark came for service
Honestly though, it had good craftsmanship

 

This was my weekend project. I have been researching how to do a rear storage for months now, and had my seats completely removed for the last month or so. After finding certain things I like, but not exactly what I wanted I decided to jump in and build mine own. Overall it cost me around $80 for everything (including the fire extinguisher and bracket). I am heading to Moab this weekend so I was scrambling to get it done, which means one door I need to redo. Other than that I think it came out pretty good. I will install carpet on it eventually, but for now I will drape my dog seat cover over it for the dogs.

Saturday took me about 4 hours taking out the plastic bins, cleaning and installing the sound deadening material and peg board.. The second day was spent actually building the box and took almost 12 hours. In the weeks to come I will probably write up a thread for this. Especially since I have yet to see this setup on here... or maybe I keep scrolling past that specific thread.




For now I will just keep the fire extinguisher hanging up. Eventually I want to install anchors for mounting points, and I have also thought of attaching a fabric molle panel.


On the left side with the sub/ amp I have my ARB recovery bag, air compressor, first aid kit, stock bottle jack, tool roll, and tool bag organized in there. Plus I still have room to spare. Not sure exactly what I will put in the driver side yet which is smaller, but still has a lot of room.

 

I don’t see it when driving and I don’t have provision for it on the rear bumper and I refuse to put recovery gear on roof racks. Seen enough people give themselves concussions trying to retrieve it when they needed it. I’ve got another one on the LandCruiser as well for the same reason. Surprised you don’t remember it from when we were driving around St. Louis.

 

I was too freaked out by the Right hand drive.

 

your coil choice is the reason, you dont have that many heavy stuff to counter the spring, the arb is only 115-120# and that alone is not enough for that coil


I have a winch, dual batts, etc and i have zero preload on my 700# kings

 

When boat builders want a camper shell.

 

New rotors and calipers! One of the calipers failed and was sticking so bad it was smoking. Not dealing with that again. Expensive day but worth the piece of mind.

 

Can you post a link of where u got these? I have not been able to find em

 

Thanks! I’ll see About adding more weight to the front end. I have an excuse to run a winch and dual battery setup now!

 

You didn't use to have a Taxa Tiger Moth and take it to the arctc circle with you LC did you by chance?

 

No, but I know a guy that did. You meet him up there?

 

Stripped the chrome off the grill surround with a razor blade over the weekend



Prepped, painted MGM & reassembled

 

No he was on the Tiger Moth FB page with us. I'll just stay quiet now

 

Nice work. I'm intrigued by this gel filter, so many applications.
