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

The SOS bumper has a receiver hitch behind the license plate. ..
You won't need the factory hitch,and the trailer plug is also relocated behind the plate.

 

Dropped my drive shaft today and replaced the U joints.

Now I don't have vibrations I didn't even know I had! It's amazing how much of a difference it made from before. I was used to the truck having a bit of a rumble at highway speed, but now the cab is like Hillary Clinton's campaign headquarters the day after the election!

I picked up the

$29 Spicer 5-213X U-Joint Kit 1330 Series (OSR)

Spicer 5-213X U Joints and now I can put a grease gun on them regularly. Took about 3 hours to get it done.

 

Took her offroad for the first time until the canyon road was washed out. I also put the first pinstripes on, which should come off when I decide to wash/wax.

 

I had a full day of truck work to do, but only got a couple of things accomplished. I finally got around to making time to install the new to me rear bumper that I bought from @tacticaltaco85 last May. I had to replace my iPhone cable on my A-Pillar Ram Mount so while I had everything apart I put the filler piece back in with the Ram Mount Ball.

 

This is the one I got, although the price is more now and I made a bit of a lower offer of $65

I read a few threads about seat heaters, just search for seat heaters, and then bought these: http://m.ebay.com/itm/170710469601?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&_mwBanner=1

From ebay as they had switches that installed like oem under the ac panel. Added a relay and fuse block to power them.

It actually has a built in receiver behind the license plate. Also has the 7 pin plug mounted behind the plate. I haul my 23' mako a lot so should be able to get some feedback on weight capacity soon. Will need an 8" drop hitch though.

 

Yes

 

Big congrats man

 

Hearing loss has added years to my marriage.

 

nice avatar my daughter is a junior there now

 

Beat me to it!

 

I need to do this

 

I agree.

 

Thanks! Now I get the opportunity to research and practice paint repair techniques! The sign on the tailgate scratched the hell out of the clear coat.

 

For you or for her... lol I think it helped end mine, my ex hated being ignored!

 

Nice! Looking bad ass!

 

Added some OEM fog lights to my regular cab. Look and function great!

 

Put the beadlock rings back on the truck today. Anybody else switch between having them off/on every so often like me? Some days I just go out and think it would look better with just black wheels for now haha (shoutout to Quicktrip lighting)

 

Worked on the OBA a little. Got everything wired (except tank pressure switch). Waiting for a couple more fittings to get here before I put the tank in. For now, the wiring for the pressure switch is just looped so I could test the compressor how I have it wired. I'll put carpet over the RAAM mat later.
