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

Heard that! Ill check it out! Thanks

 

After a TW member posted a hint the other day this morning I researched it a bit - backlit power window switches for 2005-2011 Tacomas. Same electrical plug as the Tacoma but the Camry XLE (only) has backlit switches which means it's a bolt in for Tacomas and will require only wiring. The Camry XLE has 4 more wires than other Camry's and Tacomas. Dimmer power, dimmer ground, and ______?

 

Hope you get it , I hit it with pb blaster from the bottom I think that helped

 

I probably wont try to get it out until i absolutely need to

 

My heater stopped blowing on the lower settings, it only works on full blast, has anybody had this issue?

 

Yeah do a search for blower resistor.

A quick way to diagnose it is to give the blower fan under the glovebox a kick to see if it kicks the fan on.

Mine has been going out as well but a jiggle or a kick always keeps it going for a few more months

 

I honestly think its my phone lol. I have my dash lights to the max. I still have the factory lights in. If anyone knows the bulbs that go behind the knobs that would be dope!

 

Mine are not nearly that bright. I’m going to take pic of them tonight and see if the phone brings that out. I’d love to rework mine to be brighter.

 

Same.

 

There are 4 options for a lighted switch:

1. The link above from @whatstcp

2. Hilux switch https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/machined-ring-for-hilux-lighted-4x4-switch.451738/






3. 4runner switch


4. Tundra Switch (you have to cut your bezel if I remember correctly)

 

Wouldn’t have mattered. I got 2 scoops(yards) in my trailer and the rear end looked exactly the same. I also have an AAL. Now I have airbags and they help but these rear ends suck!

 

ive done this with a Ford 1/2 ton with about the same result. The gravel yards are supposed to weigh you after loaded to make sure your safe. I guess this might depend on where you live. Maybe next time, borrow a 3/4 or 1 ton truck to do this job. Just a thought....

 

Nice, thx for the advice.
A couple of kicks coming soon

 

Finally threw my seat covers in the wash. First time since getting them on there. Clean and they smell great.

also grabbed a shopvac from Home Depot and put it to use. Detailing my truck this weekend.
Happy new year!

 

Coverage in ground looks good (even glow with minimal shadows) How many cyclones are you running underbody? Thx, trying to figure out How many i need.

 

Little test run , loading my bike up , bed extender wont fit

 

Cleaned up my wheels using diluted adams all purpose cleaner as a presoak then washed using dawn dish soap. Had pretty bad brake dust stains on the powder coat but that combo took it right out, then used a wax/ceramic coat spray...



Also reinstalled the black trim pieces I painted yesterday

 

Installed RCI lower control arm skids and gas tank skid. Only need the diff skid and it’ll be “full armor”

didn’t take a pic of the LCA ones but whatever lol. Also need to replace the gas tank straps in the spring. Snapped a stud putting the new skid on

 

I kept my snow scraper by the passenger seat just so I could bump it for a few weeks until I got around to changing it.

 

Wife and kiddos are having a playdate, Papa is in the garage...
