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

With spare tire?

 

Installed dimmable LED’s on a separate circuit powered by Dewalt batteries still have to tidy up the wires .

 

spare tire was evicted. 37” won’t fit under there anyway lol

 

Greased UCA's, drive shaft and leaf springs.

 

Been running the modded grille for the last month but was waiting on new TRD Pro headlights, a Headlight Services harness, and some OSRAM Super Bright 100/90W bulbs to perform the Ultimate Headlight Upgrade before posting an update.

Here is my Taco before...


And after...

 

New to this thread. Today installed a Serpentine belt and did the anytime fog light mod and installed new locks for the bed pockets. Was sick of the rotted latch’s Keep failing out. I have Spotter mirrors coming this week with heat. Still trying to figure out which way to wire them up also going to do some diy puddle lamps while I have everything taking apart. Also coolant flush and new parking brake cables before winter comes lol. I can’t drive another winter in Canada without heated mirrors.

 

96K Oil change, air filter, visual inspection...

Thought that maybe I had tweaked the alignment in the last few weeks, but couldn't tell if I was just going crazy.

Turns out maybe I was right, guess I'll be welding my cam tabs soon!

 

OBA installed just need to pin connectors. Just a tip, a cheapo Amazon hairnet with elastic band is perfect as a cover.

 

Do you have under side pics of this

 

The skid piece sits over a square tubing skeleton

 

Where did you order your heated mirrors from?

 

Paid a guy to needle scale my frame and weld in a Safe T Cap in the worst area. Got it back Friday night and spent the weekend washing, degreasing, etching, and then Por-15 painting the frame with a 3" foam brush. Used Eastwood internal frame coating with the spray nozzle to get the inside of the boxed sections. Got her back together last night right before the rain hit. Still need to fluid film it or something so I don't have it rust again.

 

Right in the feels....and wallet.

 

Nail removal and patch on right rear tire and rotation

 

Do you have a build page

Installed a pro grill and removed bed side decals

 

Good idea did you put a on/off switch in it also?

 

Yes there is a dimmer dial? Knob? Pot?

but I need to add a inline switch between the battery and inverter/transformer. Apparently I can’t leave a battery in there, parachute draw and crap.

a fuse.

Gets you a solid state relay and timer, a switch that is small enough to tuck right next to the mirror adjust switches and no need to do anything extra special otherwise.
