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

Question: wrecked Tacoma on Craigslist, he has Toyota backup camera with mirror monitor, asking $250 and he will have it removed. Should I jump on it? Figured I can get it down to $200 and local shop quoted me install would be about $150 and they also quoted me about $600 for the camera and mirror from them.

 

Sounds overpriced af

 

Yeah that what I was thinking plus as soon as salt hits it it will eat away at it

 

Yeah that want I'm looking for but the web sight doesn't open unless safari can't open it

 

Not too bad a price. The mirrors are generally 150-200 and the camera and cables around 130. If the condition is good and you get all the cables then it's a decent deal. Just makes sure it's 100% working and all the parts are there. If not, then it will cost you a lot more trying to make it work.

 

F*** me. Diffs are shot. Bad pinion bearing, which led to bad carrier bearing which probably means my ring and pinion are shot.....This'll be expensive

 

If you still have your stock stereo I would do what I did (obviously because Im me) and replace stock stereo with new head unit that has back up camera. I paid 800 out the door installed, I know, ouch, but worrh it to me. I got a pioneer AVH with DVD, bluetooth, microphone for handfree phone and back up camera. I absolutely love it.

 

I agree, and I've also got a Pioneer head unit. However it only cost me a few hundred and a couple hours to install it myself. That includes the cost of all parts.

 

SCS SR8s installed!

 

I've already replaced the stock with a Kenwood head unit but it doesn't have the monitor.

 

But I have an inflatable too!!!!!!!!

 

New battery install today. I'm the second owner and still had the stock battery at 78,000

 

Looks like the wrong battery. looks like a 24f vs the 27f which is required.

 

Today my Taco got her oil changed.

 

But... turd gen.

 

I bought mine in Dec last year...........we had looked at quite a few 2nd gens....BUT...being where we are, and the massive flooding we had in SC that Oct. I went with a guarantee NOT potentially flooded purchase

So there is that! Hahahahaahah

 

Looks like it's time for an AAL or new pack. Brap!

Steel for sure if you have the suspension for it.

I think he was referring to you going over and posting in the correct thread.
