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

I am hoping...nay; praying someone cuts me off now.

 

that is beautiful

 

Thanks we built it in 2002. The basement was full built for handicapped living for my Parents to live there. They both stayed with us until they passed. Our goal was to keep them out of a nursing home.

 

Ya my retros and rigid bar let people know they fucked up lol, how many lumens does yours put out?

 

18k.

I had a guy cut me off bad to avoid oncoming traffic and lit him up with just my 9 inchers and I could see his eye color in HIS rear view mirror.

 

Running wiring now, will send pic soon...

 

Installed a new tailgate panel from @AL Offroad Products.

 

Started on my "behind the seats" storage. Box is almost done, so I'll be waiting for the carpet to show up.
It will be similar to this:

In 13 years a human has occupied a rear seat exactly 1 time.
Cutting the doors is going to be stressful because I am incapable of cutting a straight line in wood, but I have
learned to clamp a carpenter's square to the wood to use as a fence.
If I screw it up (a distinct possibility), I have enough of a sheet left to make another top.
Pray for me.

 

I'm going to try and get some decent pics of the light bar on tomorrow night. It's so bright. As soon as I drove with it on it made sense why it's so freaking expensive. The 100$ 50 inch light bars are like parking lights compared to this light bar.

 

Hit that with a pressure washer and I bet it’ll look damn near close to new

 

Replaced all 4 of my door belt moldings. My factory ones looked all spotted and moldy. Went ahead and added 3 Ferrite beads per LED blinker on my LED bulb in my ARB fog light (6 total). I also added two Ferrites on my radio antenna, all of the static is gone when my LEDs are on. Also rewired my 4x4 illumination switch. Pretty stocked that the Ferrites worked, hope it helps someone else.

I was just looking at my mouldings today thinking I need to change them out. We're they difficult to change, or is it just pull the old ones off and snap the new ones on?

 

They were pretty easy to remove, took me 10 minutes. I purchased OEM ones, I didn't want to gamble on knock off's being too short.

 

Nice, that's probably what I'll do too. Thanks man

 

Looks really good mate!

 

Finally got to take it out on a real trail this afternoon. This thing is a BEAST!

 

I had an issue with my SPC UCAs but not the ball joint, my issue was the inner joint(s) they were squeaking after only a year.... SPC sent me new ones at no cost (after core return) and i changed them out myself no problem....

 

That’s exactly what happened with this last kit. The person that did it originally just left everything dangling in there with splices exposed and all sorts of issues. I think I’ve got it in there pretty well but may spend a little more time. The driver side it tight from the super charger hoses so it makes it harder

 

I just ordered the Gates serpentine belt kit from Rock Auto and plan to do this job next weekend. So which items (AC compressor or alternator or P/S or water pumps) need to be removed to get to the Tensioner assembly, for it's removal? And what are these "oil control screens" you mentioned? I'm a 6 speed manual transmission.
Thanks!

 

What happened where your red circle is at?
