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

I bought mine on Amazon. Just search for "Drop Stop" or "As Seen on TV Drop Stop". They actually blend in really well once you smoosh them down in between the seats more. They also slide with seats forward/backward no problem. I think they were $20 for two.

“Don’t drop & drive”

 

Thank you for providing the link.

 

These things are great. These & the OCD organizers are super sweet!

 

Somewhat last minute plans for a combined road trip/camping adventure just arose last week; leaving this coming Friday, two week trip in total. Scrambling the get my truck in order. GFC arrived in December, did not get a chance to put it to use yet! Installed Dometic fridge (CFX3 45), Jackery 500, and these

$27 Nilight 3PCS 60" Bed Light Strip 270 LED with On/Off Switch Blade Fuse Splitter Extension Cable for Cargo Pickup Truck SUV RV Boat

LED lights from Amazon. Don't have time permanently mount the fridge yet, but it is quite solidly tied down with these

$36 PowerTye 2in x 12 ft Cam Buckle Tie Down Made in USA with Heavy-Duty Latch Hooks - 600 lb. WLL / 1800 Breaking Strength - Red (Pair)

straps and

$33 PowerTye 1.5in x 6.5ft Ergonomic Locking Ratchet Soft-Tye Straps with Heavy-Duty Latch Hooks - Made in USA - 1000 lb. Working Load Limit / 3000 lb. Breaking Strength - Red/Black (Pair)

these ratchet straps. LED lights are really cool, but I was surprise to see they are pulling 35 watts (on DC)! I thought LEDs were very low on power usage?

Cheers,

Last evening, getting things in order. 100W portable solar panel arriving today. I've tested the fridge and got a full 48 hours of 39F cooling with still 30% left on the Jackery 500; granted I did not go in/out of tjhe fridge in that time, but 2 full days with no recharging is impressive. Between the in-bed power inverter and the solar panel, I'll have no problem with power for an extended period of time. Fridge + battery + solar was not cheap, but it all works right out of the box, which is what I needed for this trip. At some point, I'll build out my own 12v DC system, for now this is more than adequate.

Cheers,
DJM

 

Replaced cabin filter also

 

Finally got it registered! Was able to use my old plates and save $50 plus the hassle of memorizing a new license plate # for the inevitable "whats your license plate" questions.

Also moved the trailer plug to the driver side license plate light. Went pretty smoothly since I was able to reuse one of the old bolts with a random nut in my spares bin.

 

installed a new cabin filter. Should have checked it earlier. Owned for 2 years and not sure when it was done last

 

Finally finished one of my bike racks.
Still need to build one more for the other side. I tell my GF it's for her but we all know if for buddies... lol
My tent will fit underneath the handle bars.
Bed rack is CBI Overland Bars
(Pictures are prior to rack trimming and the mounts being bed lined)

 

Looks like never tbh

 

for real though! thought that the stealership I got it from looked this all over! hopefully now my blower wont squeak as much

 

Those ad pictures on their Amazon page remind me of the over exaggerated tv commercials



But seriously, I need one of those

 

The opening to the intake is under the cowl on the passenger side above where you pulled the filter from. It's WIDE open, allowing all that larger debris in. You can put a screen over it which will help quite a bit. I used gutter screen. I think it was Three bucks and change.

 

"Carmuda Triangle" ha ha ha, but seriously... they look like they work.

 

I planning on doing the cowl intake at some point and will be doing that. I have an old screen door in my garage thats going to become a doner.

 

Thanks. Looking to do the whole cab like yours. Just need to find the time and money to do it.

 

why do you put your fries on the armrest knowing this is going to happen. The fries are not properly secured for travel.....
