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

I have a fridge but honestly, I didn’t need solar. I just capitalized on an opportunity. My wife wants the driveway back but the truck is plugged into a trickle charger there. I told her if I got solar, I could park in the street. She agreed, and here we are.

 

Wish that would work on my wife.

 

Gave ol reliable a decent wash this weekend. Trying to decide what to purchase first, rear bumper (trail gear) winch or sliders

 

Some bed lights

 

Santa?

 

Yes I am.

 

I always knew Santa drove a Tacoma!

 

I vote sliders

 

This cover mod or did you actually put something else over it like a solid plastic "shoe box" lid?

What panel/output is that? I want to add solar.

 

They make the flip up license plate bracket too?

 

That is a great mod, DID the screen, but the screen is mostly against rodents making a home in your cabin filter. and my Taco lives outside in a forest.
I also put a piece of sheet metal , rounded between the bottom of the windshield trim and the cowl edge, glued in, for rain water protection ......think I saw a you tube video, it leaves an opening on both sides for air flow from outside for your AC blower......if you cover it with a solid lid, you have no airflow.

eventually bought a replacement cowl, to get intact tabs, that make a tighter seal with windshield so water doesn’t come from above.

you will be shocked how much crap is accumulated in those drains.........you have to remove 2 screws in wheel liner.....

 

Haven't done anything to it recently but I did bring it to Joshua Tree and my buddy took some pics with his dslr (forget which lens) Never had any pics taken of my truck with anything other than my phone so I'm really liking these! Still have to throw on sliders and trim fenders but that might not be for a few weeks.

 

Is that a dasaita model? Mine looks very similar to yours and I installed a AT front camera that I can recommend.

 

nothing major, just added 2 HID spot lights. so now i have HID Lo beams, HID Hi beans, HID Fogs and HID Spots.

 

Took the truck out for some downtime in the mountains.

 

Drivers side, bottom left. Passenger side, bottom right. Allows me to just see my back tires and of course the blind spot. Do this on all my vehicles. I just use the non directional dome style mirror. Just make sure you really get the glass clean before you stick on the mirror...will last longer (107k on the Taco, did it to the truck when my dad bought it, and 165k on my old Rabbit...)

 

I’ve heard great things about it and have friends that run it too.

Lower left and rotatable. They really come in handy with dark tinted windows. I always paint the back of the black. No one wants to see the 3M double sided tape.
