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

Knobby

 

Installed an IPad mini in my 2009 SR5

 

Writeup please

 

Welcome aboard!

 

My dumb ass backed up into a pole
I honestly don't know how I did it, I seen the pole in both mirrors and back up camera and still managed to hit it.
Check it out.

 

So you can post directly to TW as you're driving and get shit from people (like me) who frown upon taking pictures while you're going 80 miles an hour?

Or watch pornhub while at the stop lights?

(that's actually a pretty cool set up and is a big improvement over what you used to have rigged in there!)

 

Jesus, how fast were you going!?!

I did that at work (concrete pillar) a couple months ago but only made a little dent in the bumper. That looks like you did a fair bit of damage.

 

Hahah. yes I suppose I could post to TW and watch pornhun while driving as the iPad does have G3.

It's all pretty much hands free as I use Siri and wheel controls for actions. Also have a few downloaded apps like CarPlayIOs thats supports all hands free calls and readback of texts.

 

I just set it in reverse and had my foot on the brake, & kinda let off so I really wasn't going too fast. (Not that I can remember) I may have been I don't remember really. Taking it to my insurance today.

 

I would think you need some sort of a Y adapter/collector in there...or atleast coming in at an angle. I kinda look at it this way; if you have two water hoses with water coming out and the water meets and a 90, they kinda cancel each other out. But if you run them together at an angle then they both run together in the same direction. I could be way off base and im sure there are experts on here, but thats how it seems to me.

 

That sucks, man. I hate those "OOPS" moments.

I may have backed into a neighbor's car parked on the street with my old vehicle that I completely didn't see (was distracted by my kids, DAMN THEM) and had to go tell the owner about it which wasn't fun.

At least yours didn't involve anyone else's property.

I guess this begs the question: Do they make aftermarket proximity sensors that people like Smashh_12 and myself could purchase? Asking for... well... us.

 

Tow a lot? Anything wrong with the stock trans cooler?

 

Saturday morning I changed the rear differential gear oil, and thanks to this site and the members here, it was probably the easiest thing I've ever done on the Taco! I had to make a quick trip up to Lowe's to get the right size socket, but other than that no issues!

 

I don't tow but shit heats up real quick in 4lo. I do often carry shit loads of tools in stop and go traffic. Stock cooler is apparently meant just for the stock vehicle weight.

 

Were you drinking? Make sure you drink lots of water today to get the alcohol out of your system in case they piss test you...

All seriousness though that sucks, hope everything works out for ya!

 

I finally installed a Toyota bed mat. Much thanks to member @mray for making my trip down to the Springs worthwhile.

 

Woo hoo, avoid the stealership!

 

From talking with @tacoma16, my understanding is the opposite.

4lo should help keep the trans cooler when wheeling. If its getting hot in 4lo you are to high in teh RPM and need to be in 4H?

 

I believe you are correct. I remember him stating that.

 

Yep, over $90+taxes for them to do it. The quarts of gear oil were $14.99 from Autozone, so three of those, then the $7 for the socket. Still came out around $50 ahead!
