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

Thanks man! Doesn’t compare between the two.

 

I really want to do this sort of thing and run quick connects into each wheel well. Can you go into detail about what types of line you ran and any other parts necessary?

 

Careful not to park too close it might be contagious, don’t wanna risk exposing your truck to a case of the “can’t do shits”

 

Or it could just go up in flames.

 

Looks great! Asking the obligatory "What size lift and tires?"

 

IIRC, from the compressor to the fitting:

• ARB OEM 1/4" NPT male to JIC4 male 90-degree elbow fitting.
• ARB 1.3-meter JIC4 braided hose. This is too long by about a foot, and I had to coil the extra hose under the compressor.
• 90-degree JIC4 male to 1/4" NPT male fitting installed through a hole drilled in the bumper. Drilling the hole was a colossal pain in the ass. Broke two bits.
• 45-degree 1/4" NPT female-to-male fitting.
• Husky (Home Depot) Industrial (Type I) coupler.
• Yellow gas seal tape at all points of connection.
  
• Capped with a rubber folding chair leg cap. (

Note: Had I realized that the point of connection at the compressor was 1/4" NPT, I would have done the whole thing using that standard.

 

I mounted my Starlink V3 on my roof. I had it in the bed with the kickstand but it would move around. These mounts hold the dish super tight.

 

I was thinking about changing the belt and pulleys, but thinking about it and looking at the pulleys was exhausting. I'll have to do it later.

 

Easy day, changed the oil and OEM filter. Also replaced wiper blades. Boring maintenance at 4k miles but the weather was decent so I took advantage of it.

 

Yes. I plan on rebuilding it again a bit lighter but still steel

 

After 12 years of owning the truck, finally fixed one of the stupidest problems with the 2nd gen and relocated the trailer plug to the bumper. Destroyed the factory bracket and plug literally the first wknd in the woods hunting. Not my finest work but will be legal when towing the trailer come next camping season.

I needed to see this! Every now and then I start looking at all these newer trucks with all their fancy doodads. I usually just buy something for mine and I’m fine. This helps. A lot! Thanks! She’s looking sweet!!

 

Monday is winter wheels swap day . And oil change .

 

Same here Bill...though I'll let Town Fair Tire do it for free

 

I have yet to find one of these new trucks that I like enough to justify replacing this one with (especially considering today’s prices). If I get my wish, this will be the last truck I’ll ever need to buy.

This helps me when I think about anything outside of what I’ve got: https://youtu.be/yl06UTcOJ1I

 

Did you route the wiring through the shark fin? Nice and clean install

 

Finally pulled the trigger on the 40" Baja for my Prinsu

 

That would have been even better, but I don't have the shark fin on my 2nd gen. I routed the cable out to the roof rack and then down next to my rear window under and into the cab where I have the router in my back seat compartment.

 

Damn that is a great improvement. Looks great!
