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

Thank you !!

 

+1 for projector headlights

 

Sneak peek.....

 

just keepin the honest people honest is all

 

Keeping the shell for now. I will probably switch to a bed rack at some point, but even on sale the tent was expensive and my next big purchase will be a welder so I can really start working on the truck.

I will be taking take off both roof racks though. And am just using low profile feet and prinsu slats in the track of my current roof rack to keep the tent as low as possible and keep the weight down. No point in mounting the tent on an already heavy and too high rack.

 

Thanks!

 

Holy moly Batman!

I 3D printed a mount for my UV5R.

Check it out and print it here:

I ran my external antenna below the carpet and to the glovebox. The wire sits in the glovebox when the radio isn't in the truck.
The antenna is a magnet mount and can be stored behind the rear seat.

 

We’re you get them lights they look fresh

 

Believe it or not, I bought them from a board member back in 2016 lol

 

Little paint on my lower engine bank cover, and tow hooks. Uni Filter mod as well.

 

Added 4 grade 8 bolts to my winch tray / bumper dealio & Tidied up some winch wiring. Oh and got my solid offroad motor mounts in

 

$175 brand new did I waste my money?

 

Eliminated some surface rust and added a set of 'Step Shields'. More info in my restoration pages.

 

Looking for angled pods like this for my rack. What pods/mounts did you get?

 

If your Tacoma has a 1 GR-FE engine (4.0 V6), then yes you did waste your money, unless you are looking to use the Pedal Commander on Eco Mode. I have a Pedal Commander on my 21 Jeep Compass and even on Sport + there is no comparison to the factory throttle response and acceleration of my 2013 Tacoma TRD O/R DCSB.

Edit: See Italicized text

 

Finally picked up a bed mat! No more slippin' and slidin' load!

 

I recently sold my 2016 TRD Sport. That thing needed a Pedal Commander or a tune. I bought a 2008 and 2012 and neither of them need any help with throttle response or power. I don't even need ECO mode because my 2008 got 17.5 mpg on my last tank of 50/50 mixed city and highway driving locally.

 

Finally getting around to starting my build.

Still need to trim some fenders, play with the SPC alignment some more, check toe.

 

That decal though!
