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

Wow man. I'm just trying to get someone from being hurt, and you pivoted the discussion. Maybe mud vs. ditch would have been a better word.

 

I did an oil change yesterday with Mobil 1 and a

$15 Wix 51516xp XP Oil Filter

Wix 51516xp. I'll be putting an order for a 5 pack of D3 filters today.

 

where did you source the sport hood from? Nice truck!

 

If ya ever decide to sell that shell on yours i know an interested party

 

I should really take a picture, but I plasti-dipped my chrome grill surround and rear Tacoma emblem. Removed the 2 side emblems. I really like the looks of this little pickup. I am more interested in keeping it mechanically sound, but the cosmetic mods are fun too. My last real cosmetic mod will be the rear bumper chrome... either plasti-dip or bumpershellz (autoanything.com). Though I would rather a fancy steel bumper, I just don't need it right now. Any thought/suggestions/opinions?

Edit: also planning to replace headlights and taillights eventually... the list keeps growing each time I look at the poor thing...

 

you know you love that smell

 

New to Tacoma. Factory radio in 2014 Sport 4x4 cuts out at times for 10-30 seconds. Then comes back on. Not every time, might be 2 weeks before it cuts out
again, might be 2 days.

Any hints on what and where to look, and how to pull radio out if required?

Thanks!

 

wool wax doesn't seem to smell as bad, and also seems to make less of a mess in my driveway

 

Carried some weight in the Taco this weekend.

 

Toyota had one. 470 after tax I think is what I paid

 

Wind noise was killing me on an hour long drive yesterday, so I spent the time to install 1/4" irrigation line into the door weather strips as described here. The wind is howling today as this cold front moves in and absolutely no kazoo sounds. So, while I won't claim it fixed until I drive in a few more headwinds, I think it was worth the effort.

 

This is a solid fix for sure. I had the same issue on my 2015 and after much effort got the dealership to replace the weather strips and that fixed it. I’d be more than happy to share the part numbers with you if you are interested

 

Well, here it is...and my truck loved the Atoto A6 Pro!

 

yup did this to mine also, no recurrence of the buffetting/kazoo sounds

 

I did the same thing a few months ago, forgot to post after a while that it did work. I've only have it happen maybe 2 times with some serious crosswind and going 75+ mph

I don't know why I put it off for so long, such an easy fix. I guess I never thought about it until I was in the middle of a road trip lol

 

Exhaust reroute & magnaflow 18” muffler install by Scottsdale Muffler (great exhaust shop) (even though I have a skid plate covering the low hanging exhaust, it rattles against that skid since I’ve smashed my muffler a while back. Just need to throw my skid back on now. Very happy with the reroute and the muffler sound though it’s quieter than I anticipated. The whole job was only about $250 from them. 10/10 would recommend.

 

Paid it off

 

There are a lot of vehicles these days that are designed not to offend anyone and end up pleasing very few. A lot of manufactures are terrified to make a bold statement! I love that my 2nd Gen just has a look that's all its own!!

I like mine so far. They could be better on wet pavement, but that's not really why you buy them. LoL

 

To be honest, I wouldn't want this on a truck. It's not pretty and has some "love taps" I bought it strictly for a camping trailer........that being said, everything has a price
