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

funny you did this I was thinking about trying to find someone who could help me put like a Dirt bike grip on my Subaru auto shift knob, because why not plus it look cool I think.

 

Does the Subaru have a button you need to press to unlock the shifter? My '12 Impreza did. I've always found those buttons complicate matters, lol. There's ways around it but ultimately they usually end up kinda janky.

In my '04 Xterra, I cut down the post of the shifter as well as the rod that connected to the button. I was working as a machinist at a gun shop at the time so I "borrowed" an M16 flash hider and turned it into a shift knob. I might have pics...

 

nope. just like the Tacoma step on the brake pedal and it unlocks it, no button.

 

Hell ya

 

Did the "Auto Up/Down On All Windows" mod today... finally.

Was a 5 min swap. Easy peasy. Love it.

 

Finally took it off road boys and girls lol!

 

So, I've been seeing a lot of this lately, and maybe I haven't read far enough back yet to answer my question, so I'll ask it here:

Does this make all of your windows auto? Literally just changing the switch is all it takes??

 

Yep that's exactly what it does. All four windows are now auto up and auto down capable.

Just button module swap - can be found on eBay. 5 min install.

 

That's wild. I always figured it was controlled by the BCM.

Guess I know what I'm doing next.

 

Same as most of you. Took me more time to decide to make the mod vs ordering, receiving and installing the part.

 

Oredered from ebay

 

I did this mod not to long ago, now I'm spoiled, lol!

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much and what site did u order your windshield from?

 

Im seeing several ranging from $30 to $100. Most of the $30 ones I see have blue light. I want white but I don’t want to spend $100. Anyone have a good one to go with?

 

The cheapest one!

 

I work for a Lexus dealership so I was able to order it through my parts department. Then I had Glassworks which is a shop down the street that we use for replacing windshields in some of our used cars and they came out and replaced it. I think the windshield and moldings ran me around $500 and the. $160 to install which I thought was a little pricey but they did a great job.

$500 was my employee pricing. Not sure what it would be to a consumer.

 

Make it so!

 

Here is the exact one I ordered: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/404458151829

$31.95 USD. I assume they have a US eBay front end too.

EDIT: The other option is to get the passenger side one as well - I should have done that. Only got drivers side.

I never paid a penny for a windshield. Comprehensive insurance has a zero deductible. Can't you make an insurance claim to recover all, or most, of that money ? There is no effect on insurance premiums for comprehensive claims.

 

Finally wrapped up this mod today.

Curious if anybody else has tackled this upgrade yet?
