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

Installed some heated seats in order to survive these CA winters Digging the factory-looking, 5-level switches.
Also showed my 6-year-old Wet Okoles some love since the original TRD logos had peeled off. Being a crafty school teacher with a Cricut cutter and heat press, I cut and applied some new iron-on vinyl logos.

 

Got some new shoes, 255/85/16 Cooper st maxx on Black Rhino stadium matte bronze 16x8 -12 offset. Loving em so far!

Installed my light bar that has been sitting around my garage for a year also put on some new lower control arms and changed the oil. Big weekend.

 

Where did you get that seat heater kit? I need to do that to my rig!

I want seat warmers soooo bad… But man, that install looks like a pita! How long did it take?

 

A few hours, but I’m pretty familiar with the seat/dash/console removal, which isn’t fully necessary, but I wanted a clean install with wires running under the carpet and up through the dash to the fuse box rather than just along the edge of the shifter console. It also made it easier to tap into a green wire from the A/C for switch illumination and off the cig for 12v+ to activate the relays. I ran the power wires to two separate add-a-fuses.

 

I will add my vote in for discountdirect.com. I recently bought a set of WildPeaks. DTD was higher than the price on Amazon so online I filled out their form sending the online link to the lower price. That evening I received and email with a lower price than Amazon, and a reference number so I could place an order. Called and even negotiated a discount on the road hazard warranty, paid for 3, received 4 certificates. $707 delivered including tax and road hazard warranty. I think the size was 265/65 17. Stock size.

 

AAL comes in today. I’ve been “enjoying” my squatted Taco in the meantime. It’s -10 degrees in Minnesota today so will have to wait a little longer to do the back.

 

I opted for the Icon AAL in hopes it would level out my lift using Bilstein 6612s on the 4th clip in the front. Unfortunately, it was still squatting, so I picked up some Icon RXTs and swapped leaf packs.

Hope the AAL you’re using gives you the lift you’re looking for!

 

Yeah we don't get much time for mods this time of year unless you are lucky and have a heated garage. I have a growing list of stuff to do once is gets above freezing on a day off. The lack of useable sunlight is also a hinderance.
Welcome to the forums.

 

Nice setup!
Did you configure your shocks with the 16" coils as a custom setup? I didn't see a 16" coil option for the 2.5 DSC shocks on their website.
With the 16" coils, how much lift are you expecting? Do the taller coils avoid the preloading of the coilover?

 

I have the 6" BDS DB Lift, so working with John at Accutune this is what it required.

Bought it, insured it, ordered a mirror that’s wonky for it, washed the under carriage and now I’m looking at rear bumper options. Making a list of pain for my credit card!

 

Made my aux reverse lights strobe today. Wired them in so I can flip a switch and make them strobe or put the truck in reverse and they come in solid. Wanted to make them strobe for my chase lights.

I replaced the blower motor today. I got tired of hearing it squeal. Lubing it up only lasted a few months.

 

I need to do this too. Mine gets really bad at times.

We should report you for abuse! Lol… J/K.

This is my idea of a seat warmer!
