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

I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for mirror/camera packages that are of higher quality? (won't die in 3 months)

 

I wouldn't bother with the mirror dash cams. Had one for a little bit and hated it. If you are looking for an awesome dash cam checkout the Thinkware F800 Pro: https://amzn.to/2JbbX3x I've been running it for awhile now and love it. Bonus feature is it warns you of upcoming speed camera traps.

 

It's been a while since I've seen someone post doing this mod. I did this exact mod and really dig the look and illuminated lettering. Comes in handy of course at night which I've used several times.

 

I've had the F800 Pro for 2 years now and I enjoy having the extra monitoring (front and rear). I've got my parking mode set to capture video if it senses the vehicle being hit or shaken. How about you?

Do you know by chance how to adjust the volume of voice for "event detection"? That voice is borderline loud and annoying.

 

Everything on my unit is adjustable through the phone app.

 

My question arose from not finding it in the phone app...

 

Hmm I'll check mine in just a bit.

 

Not to clutter this thread up any further, but there should be a volume setting under Dash Cam Settings --> System Setting. This should adjust the voice guidance volume, but the last I checked, it didn't have any effect on the volume of the the "event detection" voice volume after the device noticed movement when parked. If you don't have a parking incident mode activated, you may not hear this. And maybe I'm incorrect, since recent updates may have resolved this, but it kinda drives me nuts not being able to quiet her. My passengers are sometimes "what the hell is that?" reaction.

 

I have the F800 Pro as well and love it. Except for the fact I've found no way to turn the voice off (it's funny, I just tried looking this up today). I don't need her to do her little speech every time I start the truck. The only resolution I found was just to turn the volume to 0.

 

Found a deal on my somewhat local FB Marketplace for some 2019 takeoff rims. I was wanting to go black with my rim, so this was right up my alley. Finally got around to getting them mounted today.

ended up getting a full new set of lugnuts as well, since the originals were wildly swollen. The tire tech guy and I are quite impressed with the quality vs. price:

Does anybody know how I can clean up/fix my headlights? They’re not foggy or scratched it seems the protective clear coat peeled off in the Arizona sun or something. Looking for products or suggestions.

 

Put the capper back on for the winter and hoisted the cross bed tool box into the rafters. So much for my sports car and back to practicality.

Took my solar panel off my shell and remounted it using the stock tie downs. Rewiring it on Friday

 

Old man got the new Taco, giving the old one to his grandson, and I had to come over for the photo op!

 

Thanks for that. I'm a little torn because I do like knowing the "event detections" that occurred while parked, but it's just a little loud. I think maybe I'll try and find the speaker and put a piece of tape over it and see if that quiets her down. Do you keep yours on volume 0?

 

I'll be taking a picture like this soon. My family is getting the new 3rd Gen Tacoma. I have a 2nd Gen and a 91' Pickup. My fiance has a 1st Gen. (And the family has a Tundra, so I'll probably try and fit that in).

 

Lucky Grandson!

 

Got the parts to start some mods for when I am my 2 week off schedule from work.

-OEM iPod Interface Kit (Amazon)

-OEM DRL Kit (eBay from Toyota dealership, so no hunting down both parts)

-Tech Deck Xtreme Duty

-Seat height adjustment from 4Crawler

-LED’s from Jumper
-Interior Set
-Third Brake Light
-Front and Rear Directionals w/ resistors (1200 lumen)
-Reverse Lights (1200 Lumen)
-Parking

 

If that's on the outside, that looks like it's going to require using sandpaper with progressively smaller grits. I'd do a small test area first. Otherwise it may just be best to buy new headlights.
