Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

Congratulations and welcome to Team Army Green!!! Can't wait to see as the journey progresses.

I really am enjoying my truck!!

 

So, I am enjoying my truck and all. however there is one tiny little concern I have. Tonight I went to take the trash out so I went thru the garage and all of the sudden I realize that there is a "whirling/mechanical pump" sound in the garage. Initially I thought it was the house heater, but internally I was thinking to myself "nah, it to high of a pitch", so I start listening closer and following the sound and it lead me to my left rear fender in my truck, I get down and its the loudest by the fuel tank. At that point I'm like "FUDGE". Last time a used the truck was on Sat night, the fuel level is at 1/4 full. and I have not touched the car since Sat night. I grab the keys for the living room, I don't turn the car completely on but I do press the button to accessories. then turn it off and sure enough the "high pitch sound" stops. my question is if its normal for the truck's fuel pump to activate itself without the car necessarily be on or the keys close by (btw, I do turn off my fob every time I'm not on the car, idk why but its a habit for me)

 

Normal. fuel evaporation system, see below excerpt from manual.

 

and thats what I thought, but its been more than 24 hours since I used the car.

 

ah gotcha missed that part in your original message. In that case not sure, limited experience lol

 

I would say it's probably the evaporation system. I think it is a matter of pressure and not a timer that triggers the system.

 

well the car has been inside the garage for over a day, and yesterday there was very little temperature difference thru out the day. I found this that affects the 3rd gen but no mention on the 2020, nor is exactly what I was referring too. however the evap system, does it make the sound like a small pump?

Who has purchased the raised letters for their tailgate? I am looking at getting some and wanted reviews from trustworthy people.

 

Mine are the OEM letters.

 

Same here, when I ordered I hadn't seen one with and no pictures but end result glad I did... honestly should be stock not an option

 

I originally went with what I believe were the Toyota letters and they looked good but the black shading was slightly off.

I switched to these that I purchased off Amazon and I think they match the TRD pro emblems better but they are just a tiny bit smaller than the Toyota letters, however they’re aluminum vs the rubber type material on the stock ones

damn, i would never give up an e46 m3 for a tacoma.

 

I wonder how long until we see a non-pro join us in here


Also stole a couple of Devious6’s ideas lol

 

Happy Taco Tuesday TW Fam... sometimes you just gotta sit back and look at that rear..

 

Meso has the V2 Ultimate Dome Light - 3rd Gen Tacoma listed on their website. Just ordered one!

 

New to the club. Placed an order in July, picked it up Friday. Loving it so far.

 

Swapped out the softopper for a diamondback cover. Added a roof rack and some lights. Happy with the progress, now I just wish the OV guys would release the updated 2.0 performance tune..!

 

I went with Tufskinz. I got the matte black domed version. They are high quality and I would recommend.

 

Congrats and welcome to Team Army Green!!

 

looking good! Those ditch lights look so teensy on that mean green!
