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

You should be pleased. You got a nice looking rig and did a great job on the install!

 

Google TMI if you don't already know what that means......

 

Nice looking truck! Now I know what mine would look like with a cap. I'll keep the parts list. Gonna do a hidden winch first, then try to crowd lights in along side of that.

 

Let me know how the antenna works.

 

No noticeable difference between the shorty and the 1000' stock antenna. Reception seems to be just fine!

 

Replaced one of hid ballasts with 55W, i think there is a little brighter, need to do second one soon.
Ordered viper alarm

 

Bought a jack and jack stands and did the front brake pads

 

I hot wired my garage door opener to a remote button so it's a little more discreet.


Tacomaworld.com sticker placed.


Rear differential breather completed.

 

Breather behind the taillight. Unique!

 

I saw someone else do it on here. Thats where I got the idea. Super easy, no drilling, about 6'4" of hose, 3-4 zip ties, and a zip tie sticker mount.

 

I still need to do this, you plan on going through some water now?

 

Well the way its been flooding in my neighborhood in Pasco...

 

yea ya'll got it bad. I am going to change out my diff fluid soon, hoping there isn't any water in it lol, especially after going through this

@docloco you have a write up on the garage door opener hardwire?

Also, nice place for the breather!

 

Going to have to agree with this. Thats a badass button.

 

Why are you afraid of farting in your new truck? It's not like it's going to make her ride shitty.

Actually I was following some else's write up somewhere on TW that I ran across. I'll see if I can find that thread for you. The basic process was open a garage door opener thats already programmed. Find the leads for the button and solder two wires to it. Mine had 4 contacts and I went through trial and error before I found the two that would work. I used this button from flea bay. I used some old cat5 wire that I had laying around. The whole thing probably only took me about 15 minutes to do. I didn't take pics along the way, but here's one I took for you of the back side....

 

Typical 3rd gen'r in a 2nd gen thread

 

Actually I bought the adapter to hardwire it to the car battery, but I didn't have any inline or add-a-circuit's handy. I plan on hardwiring it soon.
