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

Dude!!! You can literally "roll" your windows down... Thats a throw back.

 

Yep, base model. I put a new window regulator in the drivers door. The dealer asked if I had power windows. I wish!

 

Not sure if you’d be interested, but I have the same knobs you just got and I found an LED to use behind the A/C controls instead of the orangeish look. Here’s the link! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KVXTVZ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_89GGFb9FXE6V6

 

Engine, both diffs and transfer case all got new oil.

 

Looks nice man. My paint is still holding up okay for now, but I could see myself doing the same one day as I also plan to drive this thing until it falls apart. Doesn’t seem like a bad route. Definitely better than chipped paint and rust everywhere anyway. Lol

 

Thanks. That’s pretty neat. I’ll keep that in mind. I like the uniform look right now but glad to know there is an option. Did you have to do much wiring for them?

 

That is awesome brother... Semper Fi

 

You got bigger balls than I. Nice though!

 

Very cool! I what was the total time it took?

 

No wiring. The bulb is a direct replacement found on the back of the AC panel when you pop it out!

 

oh ok. Cool. Thanks

 

Swapped out my gray center console to match the black rubber flooring, also did a much needed interior clean up.

 

That steering wheel looks great, do you happen to know where you got it? Thanks.

 

edit: sorry for the huge pics.

I got in my backup camera. They have locking options as well but I opted for the plain jane one seeing as I just run a softopper. I have no need to lock it.

I wired it in so I can view it in reverse or just by selecting it on the head unit.

My head unit has a 'reverse trigger' wire, to tell it when the truck is in reverse. Under the drivers kick panel, this wire is what runs to the rear and feeds the reverse lights. I tapped into this for my 'reverse trigger.

The camera itself has a + and -. I tapped into my head units wiring for that. So the camera will always have power when the truck is on, and because of the 'trigger wire', the head unit knows when to display it on the screen.

 

I bought it from eBay. When I got mine it looked like an OEM wheel that they had rewrapped. Here is the link https://www.ebay.com/itm/MIT-Toyota...leather-steering-wheel-STANDARD-/121215387207

 

Such damn big pics, must be compensating for that short....






Bed.

 

Psh whatever old man, at least I have hair!

 

So much hair.....

 

Very cool. She looks good!

 

Thought today would be kind of laid back, but UPS dropped off some stuff that was supposed to be delivered next week, so I got to work. Cali Raised lightbar for the Prinsu rack, ARB awning mounted with Prinsu brackets, added a 2x1 led to light up under the awning, bolted on a pair of Harbor Freight ‘Pelican’ cases, and got my MaxTrax mounted up. The game plan for tomorrow is to get the lights wired up.
