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

Finished up a few small things for my front-end conversion - transferred the bumpers on the hood, tucked the fog light connectors out of the way until I can get them finished, and connected the wheel liner to the fender. Also replaced my wiper blades since I had some time to kill.

Final pictures of the completed job:

 

Took my little girls to a big parking lot for bike riding lessons. Older girl is starting to get it and my younger one she’s learning to pedal..lol

 

Some generic lightbar that was already on the bumper when I traded for it. The amber squares are just covers that clip on.

 

I noticed Im kicking up a crap ton more stuff with the durty fives too. And at only $50 bucks was a no brainer for me.

 

Changed this....



To this...


Gonna sand it again and hit it with matte. This was satin and it looks terrible.

 

what is that?

 

AT or manual? I jusr went to 4.56 to replace the 3.73's..(AT)...about 150 miles left to 1st lube change but what a difference in driving...need to get thru the week and the lube thing then its off road weekend...cant wait to lay on it and see how it does....have you got some time on urs and what do ya think of the 4.10's? I hard a hard time deciding which ones to go to......

 

cause it sounds cool and sells....

 

a/t
i have about 20 miles on it. I've also got 285s. I like how mild of a change it is. didn't want high revs on the freeway.

 

The best way to learn is have their mom stand at one end of the parking lot that is down hill from your child.
Let them ride to their mom. They focus on getting to her and not riding the bike. The downhill grade makes
it easier to coast too. This way they don't have to pedal so hard. Works like a charm all the time. I pretty
much use this method to teach all the kids in the neighborhood.

 

Almost Banished!

TURNING THE TRUCK “BEEP” ON/OFF WHENLOCKING/UNLOCKING DOORS


Toyota calls the beeping an "answer-back" function. It's new for 2009 on the Tacoma; other Toyota models have had it for a long time.

Here's how you toggle the answer-back beep off and on for the factory keyless entry (not Toyota's VIP alarm add-ons) on 2009+ Tacomamodels:

1. Open the driver's door, and leave it open

2. Insert the key into the ignition.

3. Remove the key from the ignition, and within 5 seconds, re-insert the key and then turn the ignition to ON.

4. Wait at least 10 seconds, but less than 20 seconds.
After waiting, press a button on the remote twice(Press the same button two times - don't press two different buttons. The system will acknowledge with a beep if you did it right).

Toyota's instructions for this sort of thing are very literal and must be followed EXACTLY. It's helpful to use the flashing ":" symbol in the clock to count the seconds in step 3.

If you disconnect the battery, the setting will return to the factory default setting of ON.

What lights are those for your canopy my battery ones just took a shit

 

Real clean I like how that sits more than my yakima

 

Link to mattress topper?

 

Right on. Thank you for the tip! Now that i think about it, when she was going towards her mom, she was looking down ALOT more less.

 

finished wiring the keypad and programming it

 

Probably the same battery powered ones from Amazon

 

Thanks. I previously had the Rhino Rack that clamped onto the door jambs, but I wanted something adjustable. Drilling holes in the roof was daunting, but the butyl pads over each hole as well as marine grade silicone should prevent any leaks.
