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

Still good lokin wheels and truck. I like chrome or polished wheels just not with white , personal taste.

 

Was looking down in the mentioned products at the bottom of the thread and saw this:

for Android Phones ONLY - Wireless Bluetooth Diagnostic OBD2 Scanner Car Code Reader and Scan Tool for All 1996 & Newer Vehicles ELM327 Compatible OBDII

Bafx Products - Wireless Bluetooth OBD2 / OBDII Diagnostic Car Scanner & Reader Tool for Android Devices - Read/Clear Your Check Engine Light & Much More
I have one of these that was given to me a while back, never been able to use it because i din't have an android phone. Anybody used one? how does it work?

 

It a pretty cool tool. You plug it into any OBD2 port and download the bafx bluetooth obd2 scan tool on your android device and it will display the error codes, and other info about your car/truck.

 

The guy who gave it to me said he used it to record stuff like 0-60 times as well. Wish it worked with apple.

 

That’s not a valet key, That’s just a copy to open doors. What’s the point of giving that key to a valet if they can’t move the vehicle.

A true valet key will only open doors and start vehicle, will not open glove box, trunk etc.

 

Thanks. Yes they are trimmed about 2”

 

Works great. Standard Yakima bar set up over the cab and fender tie down loops. And of course the Hitch canoe loader/T bar. Solid as a rock. Allows access to all your shit right there in the bed under a locking tonneau.

editing to add: that’s a 17’ canoe. A 13’ kayak won’t have this spread. You could use the rear bar placement on the cab, which would be nearly three feet closer to the tail gate...but still may not leave you much to hold onto. Guesstimating that would leave your mount points approx 8 ft apart.

 

Moves the sway bar forward on the frame.

 

Valet keys lock and unlock doors and start engines. They don't give access to locked glove boxes and trunks. That way a valet can get in, move the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.

 

$850 to powdercoat wheels is ridiculous. Multi-color? Pearl? That's crazy high.

 

I dig the chrome on that truck.

 

There are plenty of similar devices on Amazon that work with Apple devices. I recommend doing searches on both the Apple App store and Amazon to ensure the app works with that particular device. I think I looked through the app store for the app I wanted to use, then found the latest version of a device on Amazon that worked with that app.

 

Noooooooooo! LOL! Just to keep it aligned with your wheel query.


Go Hokies!

 

What was explained to me was that the process to strip chrome is a lot more involved than other finishes. Most shops near me wont even quote me because they say it can’t be done.

 

Been looking at the Cooper AT3XLT's in 285's but most probably keeping the Maxx's in 255's so I only have to buy 4. These have been outstanding tires and with 57,000 miles still have decent tread

 

That part flew right over my head hahahaha. I have a friend that owns a powder coat business and I'll ask him about it. I should be seeing him this week. San Diego ain't that far from you and you can see the beaches and the ludicrous gas prices while you're here (lol).

edit: damn that looks like 7 or 8 hours of driving. It's further than I thought.

 

OOOO NICE!!!

 

Wow aren't the maxx's an MT tire? Or are they AT? That's impressive mileage. I think I have around 20k on my Falken Wildpeaks so far so good

 

I believe, they are considered a hybrid tire. Basically a very agressive at tire. Erated so heavy but heavy duty also

 

If your considering paying for the chrome removal and powder coating for $850, I suggest selling your chrome rims to someone who wants them. Put that money toward a new set of rims you really want. You might actually come out ahead in the end.
