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

No problem brother.

 

They got some pretty sweet stuff on there!

 

It's a new truck now! I need to replace my ball joints I think. No clue how to do it, but I'd like to try

 

Got the last bit of chrome removed/covered and added a custom headlight touch. Also got my rear suspension updated to set even with the front 4".

 

I am not sure if this is much help to you, but for my application (I have a Leer cap that I've converted to an overlanding camper with 200W solar panels on top), I ran the power for the scene rackmounted LED lights down between the cab and bed, under the front of the truck bed, and up through the hole in the bottom front corner of the bed, then into my MPPT solar panel control electronics (which is mounted in the side of the bed). I have 200A-h batteries in my "camper" bed.

Tonight I am headed to the park to test out the lights in complete darkness.

 

I was looking at that shift knob!

 

My last mod of the year.......more black less chrome...........on the only emblem on the truck




TVD vinyl graphics..............

 

I currently have the TRD shift knob and I love it. It’s round like a que ball and has TRD engraved in the side in red and the shift pattern up top in white. I love the feel of it. Fits in my hand perfect. And it’s grey so it matches my interior.

Funny story actually the shift pattern is written right on the knob and the guys at the tires shop still always put it into 6th trying to reverse.

 

Just got in a big ol set of wire terminal removal tools.

Gunna go finish up my 400 watt anytime mod. I have a manual trans so no need to ground the solid purple wire. All I have to do is “cut” the blue w/ black and purple w/ white. But I prefer to do mods like this by removing the pin terminals from the plug. That way it can always just be plugged back in. No need to cut up the harness.

However for anyone that’s tried to remove those pins without the proper tool they are a royal PIA. These tools make it so you just push it into the front of the plug and the wire just comes right out. No messing with it for hours or marring the plastic plug all to hell.

 

My wife surprised me with an early birthday present. She had placed an order for some method 701’s in the bronze variety. 17x8.5 w/ 0 BS. should be here next week and I’ll be sure to post some pics.

 

Went to aim my lightbar last night, and hood glare was insane, making the bar unusable. Unacceptable. I brainstormed, and had the idea to move the crossbar back, and it worked like a charm.

The fix




After

 

Nice!

 

Fancy garage light

 

Yeah it’s stupid AF, worthless as a garage light. Don’t know why my landlords have it there (we’re just renting the house)

 

It was a compliment

Good fix too. Stored away in my mental bank for future mods.

 

The Operator should have know better!! I hope you didn't damage anything.

 

Nice Limited! Are those stock wheels?

 

Saw @boogie3478 video yesterday and painted my steering wheel controls and shifter console matte black

 

Installed a leash for my girlfriend's oil tanker of a water bottle. I was going to drive the truck into a wall if I heard it clanking and slamming into sh*t one more time! ....it works freaking great....



Also installed front window weather tech wind deflectors. They seem a little too tight. We'll see how they test after the set time.

 

Looking sharp!
