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

Threw a second aal in the rear to lift the butt end up a bit more to get the rake back after riding around for a year almost dead even on lift front and back. I like it!

 

What are you running in the front for suspension? Can wait to put on my Ray 10s. Btw your truck looks good!

 

Taco got a little Foxy today.

 

I did the first tow of my 5x10 utility trailer w/ 900# of yard debris to the land fill with the 2.7 powered Taco! I don't know why everyone hates on these base model trucks, it towed the trailer just fine. I had no issues moving along with traffic. It honestly wasn't much different from towing the trailer with my 3rd gen 4runner

 

Exhaust will be going on Tuesday by AFE

 

I mounted my 'new to me' awning

Inspired @2DaMtns post. I completely forgot I had a thule rack collecting dust in the garage. I had to modify a bit but it came out pretty good. Saved a few $


@fatfurious2

 

Will you give some information about your dual battery setup?

 

Glad to be an inspiration!!

 

Loving the red font!!

 

Today was fluids day. ATF, Diffs, and Transfer

 

Genesis off road just released their setup for second gen . Absolutely love it but easier for me to copy and paste what’s on the page to explain so here you go


Details:

• Completely pre-wired out of the box
• Batteries sold separately.
• Boost switch included - jump start your vehicle off your second battery
• Power and Ground bus bars make it easy to connect accessories
• Smart Isolator automatically handles all charging functions
• Interface port for the G Screen monitoring system
• Best quality wires, tin-plated copper connectors, and sealed heat shrink tubing
• Powder coated for durability
• Proudly made in the USA
• Sold As A Kit

The top cover plate has several innovative features in a simple package. All of the wiring has already been done for you, and the smart isolator comes pre-installed. The welded gussets on top have holes with grommets to route the wires directly to the correct battery post, so there's no guess work involved to make the connections. High quality battery terminal connectors are crimped to the flexible 2 gauge wire connecting the batteries together. With all the wiring integrated into the top plate, servicing your batteries has never been easier. Simply pull the terminals off the battery posts, remove the 4 bolts securing the lid, and all the wiring can be lifted up and out of the way to service your batteries when necessary.

The included smart isolator gives you automatic control of all the charging functions with no interaction required.

Here's how it works:

• When both your batteries are fully charged at 13.2 volts, they are automatically connected and are charged at the same time
• When you park and turn off the engine, but continue to use accessories such as lights or the stereo or a CB, both batteries begin to drain down
• When your main cranking battery reaches 12.7 volts, the smart isolator separates the batteries, so that your cranking battery will have enough power to start the engine. The second battery continues to power your accessories for as long as it will last
• After you crank the vehicle, your main cranking battery will be charged up to 13.2 volts first, and then the isolator will begin charging your accessory battery. By only charging one battery at a time, your alternator is protected from excessive strain

What if your cranking battery is somehow drained down too low to be able to start the vehicle? We have a solution for that.

• Press the Start Boost button and the isolator will connect both batteries together for 1 minute, acting like built-in jumper cables to jump start your engine off your accessory battery
• As long as the accessory battery has enough power, you'll be able to start your vehicle instead of being stranded with a dead battery!
• The alternator will charge both batteries for 1 minute, then switches back over to automatic mode to reduce the strain on your alternator

How do you like the dual battery setup Ive been eyeing that one?

 

Love it and perfect for my 12 v fridge in my back seat

 

@Truckdogipa2 thann you for the information on you dual battery setup.

 

If you don't have a winch-rated phone mount, are you really (br)overlanding?

Bruh.

 

I went through Amazon. I initially purchased one that other TW members have posted before using a shared link (amazon still), but it was undeliverable, so I bought the next one on the list with as many positive reviews / ratings. No complaints!

Project update: Two layers of Noico 80 mil have been laid on the floor, and the front footwells have three layers. Today I will be laying down Second Skin luxury liner pro.

 

What's the verdict on the exhaust system?
