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

Badass!

 

I put beers on it and finished the shelf

 

This is proof that I'm an amateur.

 

I'm very much an amateur myself. No bowing necessary. LOL.

 

Changed my rear diff oil for the first time since I've owned it - bought at 45k miles and I'm right at 55k now. No clue when it was last done since the service records weren't really itemized, Carfax just says when and where it was serviced. This shit stinks to an ethereal level of funk but I read enough shit to know I shouldn't get it on or in me. Cleared a metric fuckton of metal shavings and chunks out. Going to take the grease gun to her belly in a bit. Bought a 1/2" spacer kit from Headstrong to level it out and planning on either 5100s or lift and 5100s next spring when I need new shocks.

 

Where should be greased?

 

5 zerks on the driveshaft

 

Where did you get the panel from? How'd you wire it?

 

Retouched up my sliders and installed 42" plano on the roof rack

 

Washed and waxed.

 

Ran 4 awg wire for power/ground to the bed of the truck. It was going great until I ran out of wire and still needed more - turns out the shop I bought the wire from gave me 15ft instead of the desired 20.. And it was all zip tied in nicely too. Had to butt connect and shrink wrap about 5 more feet on to reach my desired point for the fuse panel.

Blue Sea 6 fuse panel worked perfectly, drilled out to holes to mount with m6 socket cap bolts and milled the counterbore out to fix the cap of the bolt.

Rewired the cap lights with new leds and found a pretty sweet spot to mount my switch on the bed stiffeners that I bought from a guy on here.

Also has anyone found a secondary method to mount the innermost cubbies when the plastic tabs snap? Currently it's taped in place....

 

LEDs swapped.

Made it. I sell them. The only switch that's wired at the moment is the a-pillar one. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/fs-custom-2-3-4-5-6-8-and-10-switch-plates.474715/

 

Love those wheels. Had a similar set on my 1st gen.

 

What paint did you use for the silver pieces?

 

I used krylon cherry red.

 

Scored some craigslist deals!

Weathertechs for $30 and a long bed mat for $60!

 

Mounted a set of Black maxtrax

 

Rebel

 

I have a LG G5 with otterbox, will it wrap around the sides for that? My old phone mount wouldn't. I like that one a lot.
