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

Moved Console vault from my now sons truck to mine.

 

That looks to be it. Time to drill some rivets. Thanks

 

Scored these on marketplace. The little dance they do on startup pleases my inner child.

 

Changed the oil and filter with Mobil 1 5 w 30 and a Mobil 1 filter, greased the front end and washed the truck first time since like October

 

Love my Console Vault.

 

How loud is it? Any drone in the cab?

 

if you're worried about drone, add a resonator. Paid $60 labor to have one added to my used TRD catback (which droned)
Vibrant 1141 is a good one

 

RCI Sliders

 

Accutune?

 

Just put in my freshly built lights from Lightwerkz.net
06 Tacoma, g5-brt, apollo 3.0, new OEM housings, few months old Philips white visions, 45w hyluxtek ballast. Philips t10 6000k led.
Few shots are over 50 to 75 ft from wall. Center point was 38.25 inch so I just aim at 35 inch at the wall, full tank of gas and some loaded cargo. Width from each other was about 55 inches. Old setup was fx-r3.0 and apollo 1.0 aftermarket housings.

 

No drone in cab. Very mellow tone. At idle, it’s barely noticeable. This exhaust comes with the extra chamber/resonator.

 

Do you know the part #? Thanks!

 

yes sir

 

Operator error remedied. Redline hood struts good as advertised!

 

Had the stainless Elites on my 3rd gen and put Spikers on the current 2nd gen. Those upside down rivets are a blast to install with a cheap manual rivet gun. Never understood why Toyota, and other manufacturers, cut this corner.

 

I'm surprised that our trucks didn't come with hood struts, my cheap 03 Hyundai has them and that original msrp was way less than my Tacoma.

 

This popped up on local CL today. For $5500, and all the repairs done, this is a great deal for somebody.

Not exactly done to my Tacoma, but the box that I put on the bed only opened from the front, so some redneck ingenuity and a spare latch and I can now open my box from the side!

Are those cheap EBay bumpers still a thing?

Looks like they turned into DV8 or something and got more spendy

 

I bought my front in 2021 on ebay and it was labeled DV8 then. But I noticed a while back it went from the 600 I paid up to 1000. I don't think it's worth it at the inflated price point. The bumper has held up to a couple winch pulls but I've got a decent gap now at the bumper mounting points that I'll need to fix and reinforce.
