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

Installed my @RelentlessFab Summit Bumper with @Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro SAE Fogs in Amber. Went super smooth and a big shout out to both Relentless and Diode for making a top quality product!!!

Now time for more lights....and a winch....ergh.

 

Looks great @woodsman117

 

Ive had this thing how long and never noticed it had that pull out extension???

Granted I never use it to the front because it totally blocks my vision, but theres been times off to the side...grrrrr
Im an idiot!

It was hiding under the fabric ...


Had no idea thanks!
A free mod!!!
And I learned something new about my truck.
Hmmm awesome
Its the little things sometimes


Hey! Pass side has one too!
Shows how much I use the widshield visors, I have sunglasses.
But there are times I do use the pass one to the front.
Hmm thanks
Seriously had no idea thats what those things were.

 

I had one like that on the back of my motorcycle helmet, where it was right in front of a passenger's eyes. Mine suggested removal of thong underwear though, and said to ask for assistance in removal if needed. It legit looked like a factory visor warning sticker too. I've been searching for the exact sticker ever since I sold that helmet, and can't find one

 

I used their vent-mount MagicMount for years, and absolutely love it. Two suggestions: 1. Buy an extra set of metal plates, the phone will stay put on bigger bumps that way. 2. Mount the plates to your phone case not your phone, as they're a pain to remove without destroying them or the phone if you need to swap it out for any reason. Unfortunately, in our trucks it doesn't work well with the recessed vents, and would block the vent too much for my liking. We need our AC here in Arizona lol. Since the heat is an issue I didn't want to use a sticky mount, and I didn't want holes in the front of my bezel, so I used an old Scosche cradle mount I had, along with a small sheet of ABS from Fleabay, a heat gun, and a little ingenuity:





If you take your time with positioning, it doesn't interfere with wipers, or with HVAC controls, although it does limit visibility of the fan speed switch a bit. Since those photos I've added a couple screws where they don't show, and polished up the tool marks on the bracket. Next I may try cutting the vent mount off of my MagicMount and replacing the cradle with the magnetic portion, though I'm toying with the idea of mounting a small QI wireless charger in cradle (it's plenty deep) so I get wireless charging. The magnet mount is nice, but the cradle is easy 1-hand operation, and I think I'd like the wireless charging more.

 

Hahaha, when I first saw that switch, I wondered why someone would haul a squid in the back of their truck...

 

Perfect!
Man I swear I saw one like that when I was looking for the red one on ebay or Amazon.....

 

Installed a tool box in the bed

 

My 2007 has those.

 

That’s cool!

 

Looks great, super strong. Only is it’s a little lower than I’d like, and it looks like it blocks the 4wd knob, which I use a lot. I ran a cup holder phone mount for a bit but it was too low to see while driving, so I found this. I haven’t driven with it yet, so we’ll see how it goes.

 

Finally got around to installing the Redline hold struts I got for Christmas. Pretty sweet to just have the hood lift up by itself. If you're doing these, I found some rare earth magnets allowed for getting the bracket lined up right where I wanted them for marking, punching and drilling.

 

Ah yeah, mine is a Prerunner, so no 4wd knob. As long as you get thick enough ABS, you can be pretty creative with your placement. I just used a piece of cardboard to get a bracket template that put it in a spot I was comfortable with, then traced it onto the ABS, put the ABS in a vise to get clean bends, and heated it up to bend it where needed.

 

Well there you go. It comes with a torque spec. Imagine that.

 

Do you have a link and part #?

 

Bored out of my mind today so I decided to make a drawer for my bed platform. Still need to put Bed liner on it and add some diamond plate over where the stove is to cook on top of it. As you can see I used the bed slots and grooves to hold everything in place so nothing is actually attached to the truck and can get it all in and out in less then 3 min

 

N my shit leans the other way
