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

Lol not one has been pulled over. YET. Lol. I have a couple cops in my family. I had mine inspected and they got the thumbs up.

 

I read that the existing sensor has something to do with the climate control.

 

Went to custom auto lighting store and demanded 6000k brightest interior lights and reverse lights. Interior LED lights dang frickin bright and reverse LEDs pretty bright having tinted windows, but I hate the pink tint the tail lights have... aftermarket here I come.
Also put in bi-xenon HID headlights.
Brighter and better than halogen or the ebay LEDs I tried but have some bugs- have to turn on then off then on again or they get too bright and one shuts off. 2nd set of ballasts. Maybe the bulb?
Also ordered some off brand TRD mudflaps
With the red TRD on bottom because couldn't find real ones like that for 5-15.
Truck came with No mudflaps and new paint.

 

Installed a Pioneer AVH2440NEX. Super happy with it so far! Have to wire up the back up camera yet, but everything else is hooked up.


Also, installed a new ch4x4 switch for my light pods and a dual USB port from cali raised. I'm honestly pretty disappointed by both.

The ch4x4 switch isn't what was described or pictured. It's close, but not at all the OEM look I thought I would receive. The dual lights also blead into each other. Fixed that with a peice of black tape. ~$27

The caliraised USB port is pretty damn cheap too. The LEDs dont turn off with the other instruments and don't expect any fast charge for your phone. ~$15

They aren't bad products, but for their price point I expect better.

 

Awesome pics! And great color We just got back from Moab a few weeks back. Ran Top of the World, White Rim and a few others. Hell's Revenge and Fins N Things are two of my favs. White Rim was awesome, but you definitely want to take you time on it. We did one night camping and wish we would have done atleast two.

 

lol, yeah.
constantly lurking and rarely post.

still got the Tacoma, though

 

I remember your decal thread

 

It’s fully screened inside full zip waterproofed panels with a waterproof floor that comes up about 8 inches. The only improvement I’ve made is 10” steel spike stakes to make sure it doesn’t try to fly in high wind situations.

 

Stepping up my tire game

 

You may need to shave those fenders first.

 

That’s awesome! Sweet rigs!! I definitely want to go back again

 

Thank you for that!

 

For moment, in the first pic, I thought some huge ATV was in your bed.

 

New wheels and tires. Gunna paint em black when I have the time.

 

Solid choice on both wheel and tire.

I love my Grabber AT2s and the ATX seems to be the same with an updated sidewall. I've always thought those were under valued wheels for the Toyotas. No idea what the backspacing or anything like that is on them, but they look good! Any idea how the backspacing compares to that of the OEM Sport wheels?

Black is getting to be over-done around here. If you do paint them, a nice dark grey or gunmetal would look good on that truck.

 

I believe the backspacing is around 4.5-4.8 these are 06 Sequoia wheels I scored for 150$. +15mm offset compared to +30 makes the tires sit flush with the fenders. A good stance. I'm gunna keep them a matte black initially, basically a primer coat and may play with a different color.

 

I have the same color taco with the same camper shell!

 

So does that mean that they are roughly equivalent to the FJ wheels? IIRC, that's about what those are.

On the note of wheels, this dude is crazy: https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/wto/d/south-fulton-4-sale-5-fj-cruiser/7000743084.html

If anyone is in the market for these wheels, I'll sell you mine for $500 (basically $400 + cost to get tires swapped).

 

Yea they should be really close. I may be wrong but I think most all 4 runner 1st gen tundra and sequoia wheels have 15mm offset.

That is an outrageous price for those wheels. He probably looked up how much the stealership is charging for them.
