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

Replaced my fuel cap, 80,000 miles on it, figured it was time.
And.... I gained 25 horsepower by installing one of these bad boys!

 

Debadge/wash and ultragauge install

 

Did a drain and refill of the auto transmission. I've done it at least once a year for the last few years or so.

Finally remounted my front license plate. I didn't want to, but they are required for the state my truck is registered in. Oddly enough a cheap Dorman "Help" metal front bracket is just about perfect for giving the plate a more solid mount than just screwing it into the bumper.

 

Having thought it was too hard to do, I finally attempted an HID retrofit.
Still dialing the cutoff in, but I really cannot think of a better investment. For $280 it is a no brainer.
Biggest bang for your buck, mod wise, in my opinion.

 

I wish there was a way you could rotate the top pic. Good looking truck making me want a hard shell

 

The plastic shroud covering the top of my rear bumper was hanging by 3 of the 14 plastic clips. I have no idea what it costs to replace it, but I had some time on my hands and I fabricated 11 new clips and plastic welded them back to the shroud.

I should've busted off the remaining factory clips, which are garbage in comparison.

 

I'm used to really short strokes, do you have any pointers on learning how to do a long stroke?

 

What is that monitor regarding your milage?

 

Added some redline tuning hood struts... gotta say I don't know why I waited so long to install these lol.

 

So say we all

 

Is there a thread on here for this? I haven’t looked but now that my gears are finally done the next is the fridge and bed cage for the rtt

 

hole saw will work just as well...

 

Ya sure is I used this as a reference if you’ve got any questions I’ll be all to happy to answer them.

Hardshell or Die

 

Lol I have a soft top now and it’s fine it does what I need but the hard shell looks good

 

I was referring to the unit. So its called an ultragauge?

 

It is interesting how it is doing you avg mpg. I have the torque app in my 2013 and it states that the truck is not set up for it because the 2013 doesn't have a sensor for it. It does in your 2011?

 

Installed a flyzeye TCMA-0515 V1 LED. The extra light is a difference maker. The AJT knobs do block some of the light but not too bad.



I ordered two more to mount above the sun visors. I figured it would be helpful for the lady. Why do you ask? We'll... I'm pretty tired of hearing the "why does the lighting always suck in these trucks" when ever she uses the vanity. Figured this would be a better solution than me having to wire LEDs and pulling down the headliner.



And hopefully tomorrow (if ups shows up on time with my harness) I'll be able to complete the climate control swap mod so that I can finish painting the rest of the interior silver trim.

The RCI mounts like the factory plate so i don't see why it wouldn't work unless you have a bumper that might interfere. I still have that little factory tow point bolted on on my truck for some reason....guess i just never took it off.
