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

What’d you do to get the green?

 

I have the same tail lights and thought about reordering the clear ones but they grew on me. I too replaced the reverse bulb with ones that another member recommend.



They are super bright!

 

Rick, you always have to go over and beyond don't you?

Nice job

 

what output brightness output did you go with, and did they replace other fogs in that ARB?

Good looking truck.

 

I broke my right foot in 7 places about 2 years ago... I drove cross legged with my left foot on the gas and brake.

That being said, I had to borrow a friend's car for about 3 months because my only car at the time was a stick shift.

 

Which tail lights are those?

 

Nice rig

 

Picked up the kids.

that is really cool! how did you go about making that work? Did you just essentially extend the dual color button to under the dash?

 

What are these buttons for?

 

Damn my Tacoma didn't come with an ejecto seat ... cuz.

 

@MESO and @caribe makaira were pretty helpful to get this to work. All you have to do I solder a wire to PIN 7 on the PCB switch and connect that wire to an ON/OFF latching type switch. The other side of the switch connected directly to chassis ground.



That's it! It will work like a charm

Cheers.

Rick

 

Even simpler! thanks man, it is a great idea I hadn't even thought. appreciate the info!

 

I’ve done the same thing 3 times. Twice with a broken leg and once with a broken ankle (my poor right leg). With the broken legs I’d sit on a pillow and throw my right leg over the console onto a pillow on the passenger seat. Broken ankle I was able to just tuck my right leg back sitting normally to drive left footed.

Needless to say I’m a pro at left footed driving these days.

 

After a few hard days on the trail, I slid under the truck for an inspection to find that 1 of my Wheelers Superbumps is gone (just the bump, not the bracket). I must have lost it on-trail. Now I'm Superbummed. I've messaged them in the hopes they could just sell me one bump, but so far radio silence.

 

Its a gel stain called Unicorn Spit. Just wipe on with a rag and then go back and sand over. A lot of good examples on the google. Girlfriend wanted a little color or for it to not be all torched like some of the other boards. Really pleased with it.

Also, this stuff is the best for getting the red out of wood and getting that nice gray. Its expensive but has great results and preserves it very well. Unfortunately most products that you try to seal it with will turn the wood brown. Still researching what to use. I put it on the cedar trim.
