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

Oh they were neat trucks but I was coming from a full size Dodge at the time and the third gen felt like I was still in a full size truck which was not what I wanted. TBH the 4cyl 2nd gen didn't feel like it had much less power than the 3rd gen v6 to me. I know this is all subjective and don't mean to bash a third gen in any way it just wasn't for me. I ended up with a 13 2.7 AC AT and loved it until we bought our little camper and I now have a 15 DCSB 4.0 MT I really like this truck

 

Nice. Everybody has different views on trucks, but the third gen ain’t for me either. I’m a big feller, 6’3 and when I sat I’m the 3rd gen, the windshield felt really small and I felt like I sat with my head in the roof. I think the front end is so huge is why it feels like such a big truck. But inside he truck to me felt kinda small

 

I'm just average size I guess at 5'10" but I kinda got the opposite effect it felt big. I asked why and the dealer told me they were 4" wider than a second gen. IDk like you the 2nd gen was just a better fit for me

 

Finally got my 3rd brake light wired on my camper shell this week.


I already replaced the clamps and t-handle key, as well as repainted it, so this was the last step. Now I just have to wait for my MattGecko LED kit!

 

So you did the under the rail strips and also a couple strips on the ceiling? I wasn’t sure I would need both for my setup, but I ordered both anyway. I’m really looking forward to being able to light it up back there.

 

Maybe I can talk Toyota into giving me a new truck, rather than them replacing 2/3s of my 10 year old truck through warranties.

 

Wanted to be more active on TW so here's what I've done, not today, but since I got the truck Nov 6. Is there a way to resize these? This is pretty obnoxious.

Gauge LED swap, also did the radio but botched a soldering job on the Folder button LEDs so I'm to ashamed to show it.


Plasti derped my grill surround. A couple spots I taped too far onto the chrome and the dip peeled a bit, but it went from 1000 degrees to cold in like 2 days, so I didn't repaint or touch up.


Also derped the rear badging. Havent decided on debadging or derping the side badges yet.

 

If you still have my number and were somewhat close you could have gotten in touch with me. I would have helped you out.

 

I am on day two. They put me in a new Durango. The heated seats and steering wheel have been nice on the 15 degree mornings.

 

Looks like CP to me but I could be wrong and I said it just because it's cool to see locals on forums!

 

It does have that look eh. I think around the 12-14 is when it started going down hill aesthetic wise. I try to wave to all my taco brethren , regardless of model but get almost nothing back

 

Peps of being short AF

 

Happy first snow!

 

That’ll be more than enough light. I have a 12V center dome LED rope light and it’s plenty bright at night.

 

I finally put my snow brush in my truck.

 

You got a point but I mean I was pointing down hill. It was more of a momentum thing than a engine size thing.

 

What wire are you supposed to tap into in the tail lights for that

 

Thanks I appreciate it. Yeah I’ve still got it. I had a buddy who was about 10 minutes behind me who I called. The guy in a duramax just. Eat him to the punch. I’ll keep that in mind though, and like wise. Give me a shout as well and I’ll see what I can’t do

 

My wife gave me an early Christmas present for the truck... She didn't have much choice...UPS handed me a giant heavy ass box that said hi lift on it!

 

Ozone generator works wonders...but a simpler way,,,put a big as in long/flat dish of vinegar in the cab let it sit ...
