Pandemic Projects

With the lack of vacation and business travel I've spent a fair amount of time working on my truck. Guessing others have too. Here's what I've been up to:

Things I've done since Feb:
1) Recover the steering wheel with a leather cover from redline goods (I sent it off)
2) Reinstall mirror riser and add Nextbase dash cam with rear view
3) Install Dakota Digital speedometer, remove Dakota and replace with hypertech calibration unit
4) Remove Needle bearing on drivers side, replace both CV axles, Replace Seals, Replace Hub/bearings, New disc brake pads

5) Install @CBoy808 Scoop anti-glare decal with TRD stickers
6) Added @Coupe TRD Volant CAI Air filter cover
7) Added Tech Deck by birddawg industries

Things I'm still waiting to do:
1) Add some seat risers (there is a group buy in the works)

2) Add some seat covers, picking up a new blue heeler on Monday and I'm gonna need it (already did)

What have you all been up to?

 

Nice list you got there!

For me I bought new suspension and waiting for it in the mail + considering a RTT vs just using a ground tent.



Next on my list of non truck related things is to buy a sous vide and a torch for cooking and start brewing beer at home.

 

Successfully installed new brake lines with existing fittings being pretty rusty. I've got a plate bumper and lift kit with UCA's sitting; just looking for the time to install.

 

No out of town travel for me either - so alot of spare time for Tacoma stuff:
Purchased 2015 TRD OR DCSB from Ohio (shipped to Iowa) in late May
Sold 2007 SR5 DCSB
faded Pop & Lock handle - painted with Krylon Fusion (satin black)
installed BartMaster1234 Cadillac/Buick horns – Tier 2 ACDF Setup #2 (from 2007 to 2015)
robbed OEM Skid Plate from '07; installed on 2015
Swap tires and wheels from '07 to '15
Removed chrome Raptor running boards
robbed reusable cabin air filter from '07
Re-painted "4x4" on rear mud flaps with Sharpie pen
Purchase new bed cover (Truxedo roll-up)
Radio knobs from Hondo Garage
OEM chrome exhaust tip installed
Painted bed bolts and cargo hangers (Krylon fusion satin black)
AC drain line extension
Weatherstrip inside passenger door seal to prevent Kazoo noise - partial success here
Map light mod (on with dome light)
Trim front mud flaps - Done
Painted Tow harness plug-in bolts
Uni Filter secondary air injection pump mod
new hood w/ scoop (like TRD Sport)
400W anytime mod with power outlet
swapped 400W switch and Rear Diff switch for better visibility of 400W switch while driving

 

I think there is already a thread on this somewhere. Just gonna say, I envy yall that have had extra time during this shit show. Working in IT work volume is up around 500% since mid march with no end in sight.

 

Man - I can only imagine. My wife's a teacher and her school district could certainly use more guys like you. I am her IT guy and I don't even use an apple device.

 

Where did you get the mirror riser? The only one I've seen still is the one from birddawg industries but it says its made for the mirror without the electrical parts which my 2012 does have?

 

A member on here used to make them, immryo

Birddawg is the only option now to my knowledge.
