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

It is a good feeling when you buy something for your truck and Install it. It is a much better feeling when you create something in your mind and then spend time fabricating and install it. Your truck looks great. Props for all the DIY

 

I would prep that top and hit it with 3 good coats of spray or roll on textured bed liner and be done. Just my .02.

 

I just put in one of these today. But the problem is the unit isn't centered properly and I can't figure out why. I mean, it's all bolted in properly, or seems to be, using the OEM brackets. It's shifted to the left, so I can't get that black bezel thing to fit over the unit.

Here's my solution for USB connectivity. I put it right under the left-side passenger vent. Drilled a 5/8" hole and used a deburring tool until a tight fit was achieved.

 

I have to hold mine center while tightening or else it gets cocked to the left. Also do you have a link for the usb port?

 

Thanks I'll try that right now actually. Here's the USB port:

When popping off that piece below the vent, there's a connector with some wires mounted in a dummy bracket. But the dummy bracket appears to be exactly centered, so I drilled a little pilot hole right in the center and then got my 5/8" bit. I used a deburring tool to shave off more and more until it fit. Seems like a pretty tight fit right now. Could potentially loosen over time.

 

Also did the plugs, cabin filter and oil change today. 30k miles.

 

Flawless. Thanks again!

 

What have I done? Not much except stockpile projects that I’ll finally start getting to this weekend

Including but not limited to: sound deadening, new Plano cases on the rack (one of the old ones started leaking), radiator bushings, @MESO Roof molle panel and starting to determine my solar panel set up.

 

Thats kind of the direction I'm leaning towards. I'm liking the idea of smooth bedliner like what @EatSleepTacos used on his truck.

 

Dew It

 

I was looking more at the extension aray and u-joint placement.

 

That's just ridiculous, not the truck, the size of the balls, how are you able to walk?

Lmao

 

You have a link for this decal ???

 

SCS, SR8 16x8 -12mm off set and 265/75R/16. Wildpeak AT3s! Little rub, nothing I couldn’t trim on stock suspension.

 

Today got to install new steps for the verticaly change. Hope this weekend will have time to install sum new shoes and spindles.

 

Finally finished extending my rear diff and e-locker breathers.

 

Installed the aluminum tailgate cap from @KB Voodoo , it paired up nicely with my tailgate reinforcement from @Mobtown Offroad. Pretty happy on how it lined up w my ARE canopy & keeps it from rubbing on the tailgate

 

Installed meso gas hole, repainted splash guards, made some flag poles, started on the intake manifold spacer.

I should probably clean my gas fill area, it's disgusting

 

Didn't do anything to the truck, but did do things for it - ordered some Red Line hood struts and filter for the UNI Mod.

 

Im a simple man, I see wildpeaks and I like. What load rating are they? SL? I was always curious how much better my truck would handle with a lighter load tire.

Stance looks great, are you running a front spacer?

That paint is dripping, looks pristine!

Before I did this mod I was always gladly welcomed with gray sewage when changing my diff fluid. Living in Houston means your vehicle will double as a boat at times

Looks ultra rigid.. I need to do the same. I see you have the tailgate backing plate on there as well. I stared at mine a few times and it bent
