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

Mine is currently dressed up with a Crown Royal bag LOL. I barback at a nightclub and these things are literally a dime a dozen. A guy I know used one as a shift boot in his old BMW 5-Series.

 

Nice utilization of resources! ​

 

lol yeah you def need to fix that up!

 

I need to do this. mine has been sitting in my glove box for the past couple years. still sits and seals properly but it is a security thing.

 

I'm at the gym right now, but I'm gonna order a new shift knob when I get home!

 

I did back and traps earlier today myself. hope you enjoy your new knob!

 

Definitely will! Thanks!

 

From what I gather, the seats plug into just right above the top of the safe, but not sure. It's flooding where I'm at in Houston and don't want to go look at the truck lol

 

Where did you get that??

Doesn't matter they can still be popped opened easily w/ a flathead screwdriver!

 

Can can!!!

 

Finally went through the pictures of the big road trip at the end of July. Drove from Missouri to Yellowstone and back through South Dakota. She took the 2200+ miles like a champ.


They say I'm crazy for thinking this is the best pic from the trip.

 

Debadged sport?

 

You nailed it. I call her McFly

 

Nice! My buddy uses them as reel covers for his surf rods. He even gets the flavored ones to spice things up lol

 

Looks like my 3 yr or 36000 mile warrantee is just about up. Thoughts on extending? What did you all do?

 

Awesome background, and great looking truck. I've been debating debadging my white sport, but can't decide

 

I don't look at it that way (at least for me).

No I did not add them. The TPMS kit comes complete with additional hardware. If you noticed the pictures that I posted in my first post showing the kit, etc. in one of them it shows the additional lock screws, batteries, etc. and special tool needed.

Yes this sort of kit is "not for everyone" which is understandable.

I don't see it being a pain for me since my tires are brand new. I carry the special tool needed in the center console of my Tacoma. But if any of them need air then I just remove the external TPMS sensor by unlocking it, doing so by just loosening up the locking screw, then just remove the external sensor like you would any normal valve stem cover.
Apply air to the tire, then cover the valve stem with the external sensor, then locking it down with the lock screw using the special tool and that's it.

I mean how hard or how much of a pain is that?

If you continuously are having to add air to your tires on a normal basis then yea I guess it could be a pain but realistically if you have to continuously add air to your tires then common sense tells you that you must have a serious problem with your tires, possibly needing new tires?

One must keep in mind here about the locking screw(s), it is really not necessary to have to use it. You can just put the external sensor on each tire and be done with it.

But the purpose of the locking screw(s) is to prevent theft of the external sensor. Why would anyone want to steal them or just one of them is beyond me ?? but still I like having them locked down to prevent this from happening. At least the TPMS kit offers this.

Heck though if they really want to steal them, they will.

Lastly, this particular TPMS kit is not perfect nor is it the best or most expensive (which there are some that are fancy and cost $$$ if you want). I purchased this particular one for the $ valve.
It does what I want for what I spent and so far I'm O K with it.

 

Im not sure I would think but maybe try contacting Redline to see, I didn't see anything on their site for an ez down for the 2014 specific but I would think they would make one!
