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

In santa barbara right now, came to do the install and kick back with some friends for the holiday

 

Sick trims all around. The green and the switch panel where you put it. Awesome.

 

Ahhhh I see. I have 3 cupholders right there with the manual trans. I put my switch in the blank next to the A Trac and Aux/USB. And lemme tell ya, getting that panel off to access the back sucks. Gotta pull the entire center console and lower dash apart including the HVAC controls and pop the whole piece with the radio in it loose.

 

yeah i have that blank too! havent decided yet what I'll put there, but I've seen a thread where you basically have to perform surgery on the entire center console, just to get behind there. cant wait....

 

Oh yeah... it's super fun! And even after you take the lower dash panel under the steering wheel off you still can't access it because of the shape of the panel and the trans tunnel. So you are forced to go through the whole bs of actually removing it. Not difficult, but a mighty PITA



You can see the metal bracket/support in the dash, that bit blocks access to the back of the panel which forces you to take it off.

 

Did you retro those headlights yourself? Those look ridiculously good..

 

cant wait

 

Rearranged the stuff I have mounted to my 2TPAM to make room for my

$165 Midland MXT275 MicroMobile® GMRS Radio – 15 watts Two-Way Radio with Integrated Control Microphone – Overland Caravanning Tractors – Detachable External Magnetic Mount Antenna - 8 Repeater Channels

Midland MXT275 2-way Radio.

 

im sorry to hear this. i hope you feel ok. sending you good vibes, my friend

 

Yeah I did one set about 3 years ago, it was my first time attempting it and they were never quite 100% right. I redid them back in November with a new housing, everything is flat black with mgm shrouds. Used 50W bulbs instead of 35W the second time and the light output is awesome, super stoked on how they came out!

 

I had some time yesterday to get an ARB led strip I bought by accident installed as rear lighting for use with the RTT.
The strip itself is a simple and somewhat inexpensive little unit.
Switches between white and amber, and the white is bright as canned sunshine.

 

I have not been reading along: What are you having done to them? Re-gearing only or something else?

 

Just a regear

 

Sunday = wash day, loving the hydrowax on my taco.

 

I have the same little table and chairs next to to my fire pit. The chairs are surprisingly heavy.

 

Washed all the America residue (fireworks) off.

 

And I had that same Corolla, accept mine bone stock.

 

I want something like your switch panel in that cup holder area, but I could only fit one. #manualgang
