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

I Always liked that color, & an access cab!! Looks good!!!!

 

Yessir.

 

5th gen. Did everything myself. I didn’t install the dust plate. It’s not needed. You can push back the plate back and allow more then enough room for clearance.

Rock on. I'm shooting for installing mine next weekend. I'm doing gussetted spindles, so I'll be installing the dust shields.

Raybestos makes a new mfg caliper for about the same price as the remans, so that's what I'll be using. I'm hoping the weather holds out for Sunday, so I can paint the calipers. I'm going with red as well, but VHT caliper spray paint.

 

Yeah and they beat me to install by a couple of days....lol

 

New brakes, rotors, idler pulley+belt, spark plugs, and battery. Still once in a blue moon have a ''hard'' start even at times when its WELL above freezing temps?

 

Added some Victory center console molle panels. Now its time to get some accessories!

 

I Plasti dipped the Toyota symbol black and TRD letters red

 

Looks good

 

Thanks man, she is something special.

 

I'll get a review/install vid out for their dash set soon too.

 

Curious as to how this works? were you having charging issues/lo voltage b4 etc...

 

I have had one for a year or so....it does most of what the claims are...to be honest the only time I use it is off road.....in my opinion in that respect it is great..in the ecno mode I can get small throttle response stretched out over a large portion of pedal movement which gives great crawl control.......

 

No it was working as designed for the stock wet cell battery but I switched to a AGM because of winch and off-roading so needed higher charge voltage.

The diode instead of the fuse makes the truck think there’s a voltage drop and raise output

 

New sticker!

 

I dropped off my shift knob and center console cover Wednesday and got it back today. I very pleased with the wrap and the storm trooper theme continues! Can’t wait to get the custom 3D printed inserts to bring everything together.

 

Did a simple phone mount.

 

I installed the Autovox M1 rear view camera and monitor. The unit was just under $50 with free shipping. I purchased it mainly so I could keep an eye on my trailer while hauling my motorcycles. Instead of wiring it into the reverse lights I wired it to a toggle switch (that I've had forever) and installed it and the monitor in the cubby just below the HVAC switches. The monitor was about the same width where it fit in between the cigarette lighter and aux power humps, so it not going to move around. My son asked why I mounted the camera off center. My reply was, because the access hole to lower the spare tire is in the center.

BTW - in order to get a clean install I took out the passenger seat and center console.

Another thing to mention, I have LED spot lights mounted for additional backup lights. The spots are the wired to a toggle switch next to the side mirrors control. I first tapped into the power wire for the spots thinking a could just use the same toggle switch, saving me a lot of time. It worked, except that there were horizontal interference lines on the monitor. So I tossed that idea and hooked up separately.

 

Where'd you order that from?
