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

Very nice, DD...got plans or a mod link for this?

 

I can attest to truth in North Dakota. And I wasn't playing dumb I had no clue and the officer still wrote me a ticket. Had gps and ear plugs hanging from the rearview. 75.00 tickets for each.

 

Got them from SD Truck spring, got the heavy duty 3/1. $370 for the pr.

 

Put two extra d rings in the bed, chopped sum more fender off and beat the piss out of the pinch weld...silly tire rub

 

Same here I was pulled over for having stuff hanging off my mirror in OK and was with a friend in AR when he got pulled over for the same thing. Warnings issued both times, but they were just looking for a reason to pull us over.

 

If law enforcement officers have nothing better to do than pull people over for beads or things hanging from their rear view mirror than we have problems. I assume a lifted Off-Road vehicle looks like a drug runner as well, so we better pull him over just to rule that out...geez... Whateverzzz

 

Washed and waxed it with McGuires cleaner wax.

The truck didn't look very clean or feel waxed afterwards.

I guess I would have to clay bar it if I really cared.

The tire pressure light also magically turned itself off the other day

 

Down graded the ol stereo system. Original: All around JL audio C3 650 components (blown), 2x kicker comp vr 12" woofs.
New: Kenwood Marine 2 way speakers all round, 1x hertz 10" woof. More room!! No more blown speakers! Woot woot.

Sooo I think the main reason the speakers shit the bed was the muddy water got into the door and then into the speaker. (this is why I went with the marine speakers)

Sounds great and took only 3 hours to clean and install everything.

 

Got to have a little bit of fun getting lost in the woods yesterday






And then today I realized something was missing....


Meh, screw it guess it's time for a hybrid bumper

 

Last night:

 

I just sold my 20" Axis wheels and bought some stocks for the truck. I will be building me a pretty set of wheels in the near future.

 

installed sound insulation and the hood light kit. Need to work on the insulation a little. Thanks Tacodane for the light kit.


installed the seal plates from G Tec Fab

Painted the TRD Silver

 

Did a tree get your antenna, too?

 

Very nice!

 

Nope

Added some switches. Wiring them up tomorrow.

 

Yep, thats also Probable Cause for them to do other things. Like Run your plate, or an excuse to pull you over, and other things. (Obstruction of view), Technically, Having the Inspection sticker or parking pass is the same thing. I keep mine on a piece of plexy glass sitting gone the dash.

 

Turned this stuff -



into this -





At first, I was going to use OEM Toyota stuff for this but decided against it. The VW parts I used are way cleaner and sturdier and look better.

I still need to decide on how I want to wire it. I hate that the front ones are switch. Im 99% sure I want to rewire those to constant to 12v+ constant and do the same to this one.

On another note, I think Im going to change the front 12v sockets as well to these -



Lighted sockets with a spring loaded lid, also from a VW. I snagged 1 from the junkyard the other day, I just need to get another one.

 

Welded more crap to the bedcage to mount some cans.

 

Do you have a way to lock those cans or are you not worried about people getting into them?
