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

Stopped my bins from shifting and sliding.

 

What brand?

 

looks good! did you paint the surround yourself or send it out to get it color matched?

 

Adio helped me with mine. If you don't end up with the mating connector on the back of the temp/compass unit, you can find it at easternbeaver.com. It is a 10 position .040 connector. I also got the terminal ends from the same location...however, it is best to have the crimp tool to do it. Here was my shopping list:
Description: Female Connector 10P040-TS, $4.29 Item #: 10P040F Connects to the temp/compass and comes with 10 female pins.
Description: TS090 Female Terminal $0.12/EA: These fit the Toyota plug for the temperature sensor 90980-11070 and are a replacement for the

$12 82998-12440 Genuine Toyota Parts - Terminal, Repair W/W (82998-12440)

82998-12440 repair wires...but you have to crimp these on yourself. Note: once you insert these into the 90980-11070, it clicks into place and isn't coming out.
Description: 1 TSwp Seal, Item #: TSwp-S Unit price: $0.14 USD: You need 2 of these; they seal up the connector between the wire and the housing

For the autodimming mirror, I bought the mating connector from Toyota that plugs into the connector sitting up inside the head-liner.
90980-12369 HOUSING CONNECTOR M $5.04
From Easternbeaver, I bought the terminal pins
Description: NH025 Male Terminal, Item #: NH025-MT Unit price: $0.07 USD

 

This is what I do with my FJ Cruiser wheels. Matte black powder coat, painted center caps with the emblem and lug nuts left chrome.

 

i have a 13 sr5 and the temp and compass display is in the mirror

 

what does everybody here have against a small body lift like 2" i had 1 on my cj in the 80's and loved it it made it much easier to clean the frame after getting the mud

 

Ha, I can see a modification to the original plan happening soon.

 

They are a safety concern in a crash. They can cause the body to come free of the frame in a wreck. Which will usually in all certainty mean severe (like permanent) injury or death.
If a crash is bad enough for the frame to come apart from the body then its usually bad enough to destroy a person.

Acuras had a history of this in the past. So I'd buy a body lift as soon as I'd buy an Acura.

 

i'm not disputing your input and i'm not an engineer, however, it appears to me that a small (up to 2 inches) body lift using grade 8 hardware would be excedingly hard to shear that number of mounting points especially with the preasure being spread across the surface of the spacers

 

What Acuras use body-on-frame construction? I'm only aware of their unibody cars.

 

Did you swap gauge clusters?

 

Finally replaced the OEM rubber on my Taco. Still running the stocky TRD duds though.

Picked up the Cooper Discoverer AT3 from Discount. Running the base 265-65-17.

 

I brought home a friend for my 2nd gen.

I have a dream....
