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

Finished up my long travel install today and very happy with the results. Truck drives straight as an arrow. Cant wait to get it out on the trail! Hopefully next weekend! Anyways here some pics!

 

Looks badass man!

 

Thanks man!

 

Hey guys just bought my 2013 Tacoma sport a few months ago, and just recently got my new lift and tires!

 

Why not? Use the old single wire knob and tube wiring method. You know, back when buildings ran a single hot wire with a drop wire hooked on wherever electrical current was needed that ran to a switch (if desired) then to the appliance (light bulb, toaster, or whatever) and out to the actual ground (soil, earth). Worked fine in a 1905 building, except adding a separate ground circuit to the three wire receptacles ten years ago completely removed the 60 cycle hum from the new sound, video and LED lighting systems that were being installed. Everyone noticed the hum was gone! Nobody missed it!

 

Nice job man, she lookin beautiful.

 

New ditch lights????

Thanks man! Spent all weekend trying to finish her up. My back is shot lol.

 

Thanks, ill check them out!

 

Looks great. How high did you go? And tire size?

 

Well I had some scrap metal around and about a free hour and built this thing(transfer case skid). I’ll get if mounted today and show end results. Cheers!

 

Dude this is dope, nice template with the cardboard! Hope to see it mounted

 

The plan is to have this thing mounted today in the afternoon, when completed pics will be posted. I’ll be talking to a local that plans to pull the trigger on the conversion later on. His truck is too cool and equipped to just ditch it for a 4x4 and start from scratch. You know me I’m all about the #DIYFS gang. Can’t beat CAD(cardboard assisted design)

 

Thanks man, went with the OME lift for around 2.5-3 inches up front and 2.5 in rear, and 285/75/16

 

Changed engine oil, filters and spark plugs.

And I photographed her :

with the ancestors


with my new driver


with my boss plane


and on daily working

 

Bad-effing-ass!!!!!

 

Thanks to @nudavinci64 for showing me something I didn't realize I wanted or needed but installed new switches for auto up and down for all the windows.

That’s Sweet. Are all four switches lighted or just the drivers window switch like oem?

 

Only for 12 and up?
