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

I agree that throttle by wire isn't the same as a cable throttle, and a cable throttle isn't the same as a push pull rod like my 67 Camaro had either. I was just trying to help out. In 30,000 miles on my 2010 Tacoma TRD O/R AC and 185,000 miles on my 2013 TRD O/R DC I have never noticed any appreciable 'dead spot' in the beginning of the throttle. Our 2008 RAV4 & 2010 Corolla had a very noticeable 'dead spot' at the beginning of the throttle and both were diagnosed with bad throttle position sensors. They were replaced and all was good.

My wife and mines Compasses have so much lag that you can put the pedal to the floor and wait.

 

Hand wash and spray wax today

 

Flushed the crankcase with epr and did an oil change. And put some stripes on the grille

 

Bought Taco a friend last week so it won't be lonely now that my daughter has my 2008 4Runner.

 

Nice color.

 

Went from this….

To this…

She looks ridiculous without the roof rack

But soon I’ll be able to mount my RTT on a lighter and lower profile setup.



The front runner roof racks are for sale and will be listed on the 2nd Gen Marketplace the next few days if anyone is interested.

 

Added the topper today and the Rokblokz mudflaps. drove to Charleston,WV to pick up the topper and got the flaps from TacoTuesday1 here on the forum.

 

Hub/wheel bearing weekend

Shout out to 05taco4x4 for his outstanding precision work and super fast shipping!!!!

Truck drives better than ever.

 

What kind of rear bumper do you have

 

Finally finished installing my 4x Innovations rear dual swing out bumper...!



Also got the plate lights wired up so I'm street legal, lol



I'm not going to worry about the Jerry can holder for a while til I know I'm going on a trip to need it.

 

i now want a snorkel

 

Replaced my carrier bearing today.

 

Put back the original speaker connectors going to both front doors.
I want to add heated mirrors and the connectors I added (for power mirrors) don't have enough terminals for speakers, power mirrors and heated mirrors.
I'll run the power mirror and heated mirror wires in the connectors I removed.

Ordered some of the connectors for my navigation install V2.

 

Put on my stock wheels and studded duratracs for winter also replaced my sway bar end links

 

The Overland Expo goodies just keep coming...

2TPAM:


and Heritic 40 inch light bar:

 

Yesterday i discovered that my frame is rusting right underneath where AC condensation rubber fitting is. What a shame, California frame is rusting!!! My guess is that AC drips a water on that spot of the frame and it start to rust, i have no other explanation.

 

Very common, many have done the drain extension mod.

 

Don't people with 2nd gens do the same a/c drain mod as 3rd genners.

 

What started as just throwing on some seat covers turned into me tackling quite a few projects I had sitting aside.

Under hood lighting and winch lighting:




Wired up some reverse lights using another set of Baja s1 pods. Love how compact these things are.









Finally I got to the seat covers. I ended up pulling the seats in order to make it easier along with clean up the carpet some. This led to me installing the sub/amp combo that I’ve had sitting around for a while now.
