Put 270,000 miles on the last Tacoma, got a new one

Hi, new to the forum, sold the old prerunner 2002, got a new sport TRD.

Still need to add the bike fork holders and the step rails. They are on order.
Dealer wanted another 350$ for the install. Nah thanks, I'll put them on myself.

Going to add some decent seat covers as sweat, dirt, kids.......well, you know.

 

Hope my 2nd gen will last that long!

 

Thanks, the weather tech lock ins are a no brainer. Already spied them awhile ago.

I'll do the Wet okoles then.

 

I ordered GT seat covers for mine.

 

Should if you take care of it and fix stuff asap. After paying it off in 4 years, I'll be free and clear for a good 4-6 more years of no payments. Then trade it/sell it and get something similar.

I traded the old one for 8000$, got recent grade 1000$ off, they beat the rates from the Credit Union by 1/2%, and I got the low internet offer. Got a dang good deal.

Had 4 miles on it, came in the day before I went to the dealer
Took about 3 hours to do all the deeds. Insurance did not change much either, about 100$ more a year.

I'm not complaining one bit.

I might get a more aggressive tire after these wear out, the stock Dunlops are more a highway tire. Factory rims are not bad, much easier to clean than many of the snazzier Rims. I'll leave those on it.

Pondering a few other items. I've not hit any deer or critters for sometime, so cattle grills and wench are out.

Bug deflectors and front end protection is the only real item I have on the list. Itching to put the runner rails on it. They have not gotten those end at the dealer, seems awful slow for a simple part.

I REALLY like the inside of the bed, the rear seat options and folding, storage.
I do not like the overall more bulky size, the reduced view in the windsheild.

 

You should do this first so your tailgate won't get stolen. Cheap and easy.

Welcome to TW!
If you haven't hit anything in awhile, means you're due j/k, I hope not

 

Thanks, that would really tick me off.
Seems a simple tail gate lock would be wiser.
But then how could Toyota's parts dept make $?
Dirty rats.

I got the weather techs Sat, they fit like a gem, worth every penny.
Need to get the running rails on it, I'll do that Monday or Tues.

Hopefully the Okole seat covers, Bug deflect and other stuff comes in by then.

 

For a good bike mount look at the Rocky Mounts Clutch SD.

 

Not good for the critters or the drivers.
Smaller varmits? Undercoating. But the smell is not pretty.
