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

We just replaced our 2013 Corvette Grand Sport with a 2019 Super Sonic Red Camry XSE V6

 

Tweaked the behind the grille light mount to raise the light about 3/4” to center them in the grille better.

 

Chopped off muffler tip just after rear leaf hangar

 

I’m loving them so far. Price was great.

 

So it wasn't today but I did kinda go LED crazy. I replaced my map lights, dome light and my reverse lights. I also upgraded my headlights and fogs to Auxbeam LEDs. The pictures dont do it justice but they are BRIGHT! Also, I went ahead and got rid of the crappy foam in the Air vent system and I got a K&N uni filter. Hope this wasn't to many photos.

 

Great, thank you! I probably would have figured it out myself but it’s nice knowing what to expect now.

 

Moved the Ex out,

salt life bitch

 

What is this? Looks like a light.

 

Very nice wheels man.
They fit the truck extremely well.

Under the ice/salt, it that pyrite mica ?

 

Awesome seat covers ! Real leather ?

I have real leather seats, but I have to protect them; my tacoma is a working truck, with lots of dust and other dirt...
(I 've chosen the brown ones because they match the color of our dust..lol)

 

What bars are those on top of your shell and could you measure the height above the shell as well? I want to get some bars on mine, but I'm close to the clearance limit for my garage as it is.

 

My Yakima bars come off real easy, never have them on unless I need them. Keep that in mind if clearance is an issue. They stow in the back of the truck.

 

Took me 4.5 hours to do it (it shouldn't have) but in love with this new setup.

 

I am quite surprised by the pep of the 4 cyl. I bet the V6 hauls. I like red but the wife wanted black (no friggin way am I fighting keeping a black car clean) so we compromised on the pearl white.

 

After converting the front end from 07 to 12-15 I decided to do the same in the interior

Swapped the radio face to the 12-15 and the ac vents beside the radio frame. Also deleted the ugly clock.




After




Now I need to swap the old steering wheel.. and maybe the gauges.

What I did yesterday and will complete today? Got tired of the billet grille look in the process of a satoshi grill. Process so far.

 

They are Yakima racks & I’ll get a measurement when I’m off work.

 

Waiting for glue to dry before installing grille ,removing tape and hooking up front camera.

 

I test drove a 4 cyl XSE about a year ago. It had good pep. If I would have kept the Corvette I would be pleased with the 4 cyl, but since we got rid of the Corvette the only clear choice was to replace it with the XSE V6. Yes, the V6 does quite well. I am still very impressed. It makes every drive fun.

I really like red vehicles. Our 13 Tacoma is Barcelona Red, we've had a 2008 RAV4 and a 2016 RAV4 that were also Barcelona Red. Currently my wife drives a 2017 Black Currant Metallic RAV4. If the Camry would have been available in Black Currant that would have been an even harder decision.

I totally understand, our Grand Sport was Black. It was a bitch to keep clean, but ohhhh when it was:


The Camry came down to Windchill Pearl w/ Cockpit Red Interior and Super Sonic Red with Black Interior. The local dealer had the Super Sonic Red on the lot and the nearest Wind Chill Pearl was +400 miles away.
