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

Built a platform to have some basic storage space in my bed of my truck, not waterproof.

Also installed my bed stiffeners and threw on my RTT that I had off for the winter.

Any suggestions on the best drawer sliders to mount in the bed if the truck to set up the drawer?

 

I bought directly from dasaita through eBay. I got the 4gb of ram and a 64gb storage w/ PX6 cpu. I didn't really new any extra hardware at the time. To be honest it's worth every penny. Love this HU

 

i agree best and most capable deck on the market and greatly priced

 

I’m looking for a functional one that doesn’t involve drilling holes or adhesive.

 

Its an aftermarket that was already primed.

 

What winch you thinking about? I also have a new bumper needing a winch..

 

I am not responsible for any bad shit that could happen if anyone tries this on their own.

So my ML ACR stopped working using the remote switch about 2 months ago. My batteries wouldn't link and the switch would double blink saying there was a failure. I didnt want to spend another $170 on a replacement so I opened up the ACR and grabbed the multimeter.

Prior to opening it, with the latching switch depressed, I got 3.6 ohms of resistance across A and B terminals. Not horrible, but I wanted to see if resistance had anything to do with the remote function not working.

Bottom and top contractors




I grabbed some 2000G sandpaper and went at the contacts to smooth out the high spots and rough areas caused by arcing.



0.6 ohms post sanding and reassembly.



It works now. Coincidence? I dunno. I'll see how long this lasts.

 

not cheap but I have an ARB meant for a JK jeep, but it fits perfect with my tire carrier etc....well made, was an ez install, works well.. I have a slider on the top with my air system.. both drawer and slider lock open so if ur on a hill they stay...

 

no not a co inky dinky... a new mech relay closed should read aprox 0.2 Ohmn across the relay......so ur reading was indicitive of an issue, good trouble shooting....

in the 70's elevators were all mech relay controlled and every tech carried on of these..https://www.grainger.com/product/23...wcid=AL!2966!3!281698275348!!!g!470161363430!

and checked the most used relays on every service call, and did a fast clean of the pads....(and many other controllers as well)

 

Right on. I didn't know what the standard resistance was for a closed relay. Never bothered to check. Thanks for validating my suspicion

I might pick up a pocket burnisher. It exists for a reason. Thanks Bill

 

I'm a big fan of the Storage System.
SKU: MT5

This DECKED system fits a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck manufactured from 2005 to 2018 with a 5'1" bed length.

Time for mall crawling

 

Tell them to make a few more of these.

 

Do the side panels snap on and off?

Edit: looks like there’s a screw or two

 

Norcal pay it forward thread

 

I owe you a lot of wrenching hours. I'm your huckleberry when it's time to install.

 

just curious how were the A measured? what kinda Alt/battery set up does it have?

 

The amps were not measured, that figure is the total of the light manufacturers recommendations.

It's a gas Dodge and a custom alternator is being built by a shop that is using one for a Dodge diesel. They're changing the pullies and increasing its output. I think it's going to be around a 250 amp output alternator.

 

Put on a TRD shift knob today.

 

Reinstalled my front seat covers today, the right way by taking the seats out.
