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

Honestly, your post is the only one I took seriously. It’s the “that guy” stuff that gets under my skin like I didn’t do the homework or put the time and effort into making sure they’re properly calibrated. I understand what they’re trying to say, but I feel like I see better with these bulbs. Maybe they’re not brighter by a light measuring device, but I see with more clarity with the white.

 

Where they are coming from is making sure you are not blinding others. If you confirmed that then you're good.

 

Not sure if I've seen a dedicated write-up of the process, but I got the idea from other members after reading through these two threads:

Not what I did to my second gen... but what I did with the shovel so conveniently mounted on my roof rack.

In the pouring rain we dug a 15’ shallow trench where both our and our neighbors gutters drained and pooled against the house and was leaking into the basement.

 

Installed a Kenwood Excellon DDX8906S and

$59 SiriusXM SXV300V1 SiriusXM Satellite Radio Vehicle Tuner, Add to Any SiriusXM-Ready Car Stereo SXV300V1

SiriusXM SXV300V1 with a MaestroRr using a HRN-RR-TO1 harness in my 2015 over the weekend and I should have done more reading prior to install. I've got some troubleshooting/rejiggering to do. The Metra dash kit that Crutchfield supplies is garbage, I've got a Scoche kit on the way.

• Backup camera doesn't come on when I shift to R
• Need to ground out the parking brake wire (it's currently connected to the harness)
• OBD-II data not getting to the radio
• Factory GPS and Satellite radio antennas can't be connected with the sTO1 but it looks like the sTO2 might be the right one for my truck

 

***UPDATE***
Took the truck in today and the repair shop didn’t seem to worried about the repairs. expecting to take 1-2 weeks to fix everything.

 

No frame damage? Thats great.

 

Clay Bar on Hood, Windshield and Roof and full interior cleaning/detail.

 

I didn't order one, I collaborated with a fellow member on a couple. Had it shipped to me. Might have a pair of connectors to make the harness available if your interested

 

At least as of right now no frame damage was expected but I guess that can all change once everything gets removed.

 

Just looking at this gives me the "kicked in the balls" feeling

Hope everything goes well

 

Added the bumper, Baja lights and smoked headlights this weekend! As well as switched wheels and tires with my wife so I’m running 275/70/17!

 

Super clean AC, plus extra points for the 'Mule' on the play list!

 

Jealous of your all black temperature cluster. I had to paint around mine but still have silver trim cause can't paint over the settings.

 

Blue shirt behind the rack. Took less than 2 seconds.

I find 4 leaf clovers while push mowing. Finding Waldo was easier. LoL

 

Hell yes! The absence Warren's tone, at volume, with Abt's kick drum thundering were major drivers in allocation of these funds.

 

Thank you sir! As for the AGMs, I have not looked into anything specifically but found a youtube video fairly quickly just now with the details. Since this is my first set of premium batteries, I am still a newb regarding any up keep requirements.. I am assuming the recharge will only ever be needed if I store/don't use the vehicle for an extended time or deplete them below minimum healthy levels.. Any more color as to why I should be more knowledgeable on this topic? Thanks for your support.

 

Looking for some help with lighting. I'm working on some grille lights and I want to splice them into the Driving Lights. Which one(s) of these wires are the driving lights?



Thanks.

 

HA!! we had opposite experiences. Nice HU choice. My Kenwood (DMX905S) with a Metro RR went in this weekend. My kit was for the 2015 (20 pin) and would not fit the 2013 (28 pin). At the moment I have no steering wheel controls, but I do have the OBD to the HU. Should have the right connector here in a day or three. Scosche dash kit fits perfectly. You'll dig it.

 

I haven't found anything to be as accurate to running the numbers at each fill up. Including a tire size factor.

Every vehicle I have owned, or my wife has owned, has over estimated the MPG's. I am interested to hear if the Ultragauge is accurate.
