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

Nice! Doing this today..

Since yours is a '13 also… did you mount it at 16.25" as the new instructions indicate for a 2013 or at 15.5" as other members have recommended???

Thanks and looking forward to having this mod done.. looks nice.

 

I put the bottom edge at 16" and it works well

 

Excellent. Thanks for the speedy reply..

Cheers!

 

Last page of my build.

 

I really like mine, it's so nice to be able to open the hood and not have to reach for the bar.

 

Were did you stick the antenna?

 

I finished and installed my Shatoshi grill on Sunday!

 

Finished it up!
Time for a very badly needed alignment now after I adjust the coilovers
The rear shocks are also 2" too short..... Limit straps? Agh.
Kings all around, Deaver leafs and finally the clusterfuck that 4wheel parts put me in IS OVER.

 

All that and no U-bolt flip?

 

Son of a bitch. I'll put myself in the corner now. Where's the dunce cap? It didn't even cross my mind during all this & it's on my list to do...

 

Cool, what kind of antenna, make, model. My reception is terrible. I have read about others on here who have done a FM booster with no change.

thanks

 

How hard was this to take off? Doesn't it mess with alignment?

 

Wasn't today, but the whole week...installed my TC 3.5" LT kit, King 2.5x8 coilovers, Wheeler's Superbumps, All Pro leaf pack, and U bolt flip kit.

Didn't waste a minute, went straight to Ocotillo Wells the next morning to test.

 

I have a U bolt flip kit on my setup. I'll send you my complete lift, and you send me yours. I guess I could live with it

 

That's what the pen mark on the blue tape is for.

 

Not today but got my switchbacks installed over the weekend

 

Amazon - Universal AM/FM Antenna it was $6 w/ shipping haha. $1.52 without shipping. It's a sticker, when I said cordless, I meant no metal rod. Wire inputs to stock receiver and the sticker can be placed anywhere inside or outside the car. I stuck it right up under the dash where stock receiver slides back into place and just tucked the wire behind where you can't see it.

I had to cut my antenna cord when installing fenders. Removing cord was easy if you remove glove box as shown in pick.

Totally worth it guys if your sick of antenna shwapphing on garage or in parking structure.

 

Not hard, it's a lot easier than it looks. Simple hand tools suffice. Give yourself ample time about 1 hour per side if you've never done it before. I asked for advice in this thread before I went to work. And as Rich noted below, you make match marks with a sharpie to record the alignment before you unbolt anything, so upon reassembly you put it back exactly the way it was before.

Precisely!

 

Installed my weathertechs! Thanks medicth!

Then took the pooch and did some off "pavement" roading. Really nice day in the ADK's!! Need some snow ASAP!

 

Damn , where's all the rust ?
