    Alright doll-face, c'mon and bore me!
    I rarely see a Taco with any exterior mods. I think we in the Great White (with road salt) North generally consider vehicles to be disposable and therefore not worth it.

    Not much. Put the GM connector cap on the OBD II port.
    Shopped small parts. Got LED 921s for R. Got the parts for rear pumpkin vent improvement. Bought the oil filter cap.
    Shopped MT reflash for 91+. Icon suspension.
    Looked at 17" tires.

    That’s ok. Personally, I like to read books and watch programs and news channels with opposing points of view, gives me a better understanding of where people are coming from. Sort of like why do people buy Fords and Chevys and others buy Toyotas? Driven and owned both variations and made my own informed decisions about which one I liked best.

    I’ve really enjoyed doing mods on this Tacoma, never cared to do it with the other trucks I owned as they didn’t last long enough! My FM antenna addition works great, got to test it thoroughly this morning on my way to work. Will post pics today when I can on how I mounted it.

    Installed a flux capacitor and annihilated some bugs while I gunned it to 88 mph on my way to OBX

    Appreciate both sides of this conversation. Rule of law is paramount and knowing both sides of an issue is important as well. Mature, civil conversation. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    Flux capacitors only work on Delorians but I bet you knew that already.

    I'm slowly doing the red and black to my black '17 sport. Interested in your phone charger/cup holder mats, can you point me in the direction of where I might get those?

    I believe it is deemed approved for anyone who wants to travel through time “in style”

    Yeah, the facts of life of living in road salt country. I run my vehicles thru the car wash every week or so in the winter, that helps.

    I lived in North Dakota for many years. They didn't salt the highways, just sanded them and it showed on the cars and trucks.

    Alright doll-face, c'mon and bore me!
    I thoroughly washed my last truck once a week in winter, or whenever the temperature got up somewhere close to freezing. By the time I got rid of it, it was leaving pieces behind in parking lots. :laugh:

    Salt is an SOB. That is something I absolutely hate about living in the north east. I had Subaru before my taco and it held up pretty well so hopefully my Taco does the same. Granted, I did lose a muffler in a parking lot once with my subbie lol.

    I live in the northeast too. I recently brought a "chassis wash" attachment for my pressure washer. That way when we get a day above freezing, I can blast all the road salt off all the cars in my family. Hopefully, this will help keep the rust at bay.

    That's kinda' cool. I used to use the high-pressure sprayer at the hand car wash to blast the salt off the underside. Last fall, I started having Fluid Film applied to all things metal underneath. The recommendation is to NOT wash the underside as FF is water soluble. We'll see how it goes.
