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

Not bad at all. They don't wash out or overpower the camera.

Will provide proof in a bit.

 

Answer your question?

 

So is your truck a 4x4 or is it a Treerunner?

 

Here are the SR-Ms in the monitor. There is a hot spot on flat pavement, but obstacles aren't washed out when they pop up.

 

Installed a Warrior Products roof rack I picked up from a member here.. some minor setbacks but, easy install and a nice addition to the truck.

 

It took two trips to Home Depot but I finally got it mounted.

 

Nice boat from the other thread.

 

It's really hard to read your license plate when you give it a thumbs up like that!

 

Which Pioneer Deck are you rocking there?

 

Avic 7000 nex

 

I see what you did there

 

Not yet..

 

Got this in the mail today

 

I figured you have the NAVI from the street label in the lower left hand corner. You like the deck?

 

I just got mine too along with some other stuff sadly it's in the shop.

 

Kicked the front tire today.

Noticed my rack and pinion has a leak....

 

Cut up a massive horse stall mat for the bed, installed that uni filter everyone says I need to have, then setup the new tent I bought from another user on here!

 

What's the significance of this filter and where is it adjacent to?

 

Just got back from a 700+ mile road trip to/from Disneyland with my girls (6 and 10).

First real road trip in my taco... it did great! I think I could probably make it from Phoenix all the way to Anaheim on one tank of gas but stopped to top off each way at.about a 1/4 tank just to be sure.
The way to CA sucked on Friday because we ran into construction and a couple bad back ups from accidents. Took 7 hours. Totally smooth sailing on the way back at just over 5 hours. Said fuck it on trying to save on MPGS today and was surprised I still have an 1/8th in the tankids when I parked it in the garage.

Tomorrow is definitely going to be literally de-bugging the front of the truck. So many splats...

Side note: had two Tacoma "encounters" on the way out on Friday...

One was a gnarly wreck somewhere on the 91 by Riverside where we passed about 5 cars all over the road before EMS even showed up. Sadly, one of the worst was a 3rd Gen that got rear ended... accordioned the entire bed! The cab looked fine and there didn't "appear" to be any injuries but I felt bad anyways. Drove over a lot of debris going around that one.

Second was a super BRO'd out 2nd Gen closer to LA. 6" lift maybe and looked like 35s or something for tires they stuck way out on the sides, all tinted and pretty clean. But as soon as I got in front of him... I fucking hated that dude.
Brightest.
Headlights.
Ever.
LEDs that were goddamn blinding to have glaring into your mirrors. Like, seriously, what the fuck, man? Nobody needs that much illumination on a freeway with overhead lights. Gunned it hard to get away from him and at a half mile plus I could still tell exactly which vehicle it was by the lights.

Light bars I understand for off roading but super super bright LEDs for regular low beams is inconsiderate at the minimum and actually highly distracting and potentially a road hazard.

TL;DR version: had a good road trip with the kids in the Taco, saw one freshly poor wrecked 3rd Gen and a stupid over bright headlight 2nd Gen that made me want to flip him off.
