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

Added an all-pro dual swing out Removed all the red rubber on the handles and swapped them out to black

 

Nope. When you open up the tailgate you can cut camera wire free from its retainers, and you end up with more than enough. I’ve outlined it in red in the pic to give you an idea. I tried to take a bunch of pics, thought about trying my had at a “write up” about the relocation.

 

Changed my spark plugs for the first time at 70k

 

Need to do mine and I’m at 76k. How bad was it?

 

So helpful. You should do a write up. I’ve tried searching a couple times and haven’t found anything besides some people making custom fabbed mounting plates. Thanks for the photo!

 

it was cake.... if you need support, let me know. just message me. Us Texans need to watch out for each other!

 

Thanks man! Need to just tackle it. How bad were your gaps?

 

tons more pep in the truck now

 

Great feedback. I’m interested to see mine

 

Got antsy this evening, found some rock lights I had laying around. Ran some wire up through the hood, pop riveted the lights in there. Put a waterproof toggle switch down near the axillary fuse box bar I made. There is a reset-able 100A breaker for the aux fusebox. worked out great

 

Kinda a bad question, but what should the gaps be? I may need to look into this!

My exhaust hangover has been rattling against my skid plate because I smashed my muffler and tweaked all the piping a little bit. So I took my grinder to that spot to take a few millimeters of steel away & then I bent my exhaust hangers to also make a little more room. Then I replaced my blown out OEM crossmember bolts with some grade 8 ones I picked up a while back. Ready for trails tomorrow. It’s been too long!

 

I can turn it of or flip to front camera. I usually have it on as it's my mirror.

Bought this today after my Access Cab got totalled Saturday morning

 

Already clearanced for 35’s

Do it

 

That truck has clearly already been on 35’s or larger and is begging you to get it back to its former glory

 

Installed a remote breather for the rear differential. Ran breather behind driver side brake light assembly. Had tubing leftover from a moto rebuild. So... why not!

Greased slip joints. Used method where you drop the carrier bearing. Like that less has to come apart and carrier bearing bolts are anti-seized. Did not like the extra stress on the u-joint needles. Will try disconnecting at pumpkin next time.

Few weeks back, installed dual USB charger off eBay into passenger side heated seat control blank. Not a big fan of always on LEDs. Thus I pried off faceplate. Applied double coat of

liquid electrical tape. Now only a little escapes when the covers are open.





And of course, the basics post purchase:
* oil & OEM filter
* OEM air filter
* cabin air filter
* greased zerks front and back (removed exhaust shield to anti-seize).

Next up:
* Install high lift hood struts from Spiker Engineering.
* Remove tow hitch to clean up and paint

 

Maybe if i get another good tax return next year!

 

I love that color!
