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

Steering wheel emblem cover, color matched grill emblem, and some more D-rings for the bed

 

Added some All-Pro Bed Stiffeners and some new bumpstops in the front. I will add the bumpstops to the rear when I change out my springs.

 

Finally got rid of those junk Wildpeaks

 

It’s connected to an oil drain stopcock to make future oil changes easier

 

sweet mod. and sweet name lmao

 

Where did you get your steering wheel emblem cover from?

 

Thank you. Haha, great minds think alike!

 

It might be helpful when posting maintenance type things in this thread, to be sure and include the mileage.

I see a lot of stuff here and often wonder how ‘old’ the truck is. I know, I know..., but I think ballpark mileage would be useful information for others.


Carry on.

 

I know this isn't a mod of any kind, but just curious, has anyone's radio dash light suddenly gone out randomly, then comes back on, just as random!?! The radio continues to play, but I just can't see the radio station light, ect...Clock continues to work also. It happens so infrequent, I don't worry too much, but it happened for the 3rd time this morning, and figured I'd ask.

 

Mine does that but only when my headlights are on it goes off sometimes continues to play then come back on never does it in the daytime

 

Where did you get those mudflaps?

 

Does anyone run a portable power station to power their fridge? Girlfriend bought me a fridge for my birthday and now I need to figure out how to hook it up. Going to put a power outlet in the cab for constant power but I'm only running a single battery so looking at getting a 500w power station to run it so I don't kill my battery. Looking at Lion Energy or Jackery maybe. Anyone got any good suggestions?

 

Interested in answers.

 

I’ve seen people run it off a Jackery 500. I have one but no fridge yet. Can charge via cigarette lighter while driving and solar during the day. Most people said they got 2-3 days on one charge. There’s a few videos on YouTube

 

Leaning towards Jackery because it has great reviews and you can get the 500 for $450 on Amazon right now. Lion is very similar specs, a little lighter, but is about $530 Dometic and likes are out of my price range. Id just get a dual battery set up for those costs.
*edit: Also Does anyone know how long I could run a fridge at 40w off my X2 AGM battery?

It looks like he's out of steering wheel emblem covers...

 

I gotcha I figured it was the same one that I had. Just a heads up when you’re installing it you may have to have a little super glue or better adhesive on hand. When I did mine the double sided tape supplied on it didn’t hold at all. I prepped the surface as well prior to installing.

 

I replaced the clutch on mine about a year ago. Its 2 snap rings, 8mm bolt and a 10mm bolt. The snap rings were kind of a pain but not to bad overall. You can also run a shorter belt to bypass it until you get it fixed. I ran mine like this for 3 months. Ill look up the length if you're interested.

Installed Bestop Supertop

 

I just ordered one of these, hoping it shows up before the weekend. Can I assume you are talking about some double sided foam type tape?
