I pulled the rear bed stickers today and got everything cleaned,clayed and stripped ready to install the new all black version from US Rallystripes and took a step back and realized I like it naked. I cal always add the decals later but I really like it the way it is.

Nice setup. Looks like a -18 offset. Do the tires push outside your fender line? Love those rims but cant decide between the -18 offset or +6 with wheel spacers.

Not so much what I did today, but more of a "hiccup" I suppose happened today.

I took my friend to go pickup his truck from the local garage around 330 CST. It's maybe half mile down the road from my house. My truck is normally parked on the street, so I don't really have to get to thru all the gears in a slow speed zone. I noticed the truck was shifting a little odd, and it was acting like it wanted to "take off (not really sure how else to describe it). Anyways, we get to the shop, I put it in park and wait to make sure he is okay to go. I noticed the truck was idling a little higher than normal roughly ~1000 RPMs. He gets his keys and says he's good to go. I put it in reverse, and go home. Again, seemed like a small shifting issues.

I get home ok, however, I pull up in the driveway (as I was going to leave just shortly for work). When I get ready to go to work, I put the truck in reverse, and it back up okay. No issues. I put it into drive, and there is a delay/hesitation to go into forward gears. It goes into gear but seems to be stuck in 1st. I get up to the stop sign at the main entrance to the neighborhood, and truck stalls out.

Warning comes on saying something to the effect of "Brake Override Issue. See Dealer for Help." Of course, I'm freaking out at this point. TRAC OFF & Check Engine lights are on. (Truck only has 50K on it. I haven't had any brake issues. And the only thing recently done to the computer was the OV Flash/Tune approx. 2 weeks ago).

I put in park, pop the hod, take off the negative terminal, wait about 30 seconds for the computer to clear. Once the terminal was reconnected, the truck fired right up, and drove on. No messages or lights come on.

I get to the post office, check my mail, and disconnect the negative terminal again to "try my luck." I wait about 2-3 minutes this time around. I reconnect the negative terminal, she fires right up, and drove to work w/o any issues.

So I don't know if this is a precursor to a larger issue or just a "hiccup."

Has anyone else experienced any similar issues?

I would say failing fuel pump maybe but that wouldn't jive with a Brake Override Issue. Maybe it was just a ECU hiccup.

After hearing so many horror stories about hydrolocking I decided to add the JLT oil catch can. Honestly one of the easier mods I have done to the truck and adds a piece of mind.

I also purchased this powertank bracket off of eBay and fabbed it up to work with the back molle rack. I had 2 quick fists prior and when off roading I've had the CO2 tank fall off. This is much sturdier and am not worried about it at all. It is also much easier to access than the 2 quick fists.

What does this mod do? New to Tacoma/wheeling im in South Florida and do a lot of wheeling in water

Since it's in my signature line, decided to add a little flair for the new Mississippi flag to the truck:

(The light bar covers the front plate, but easily goes back in place.)

How do you get patches to stick to the roof? Every patch I own doesn't work?

Well, it's on there VERY loosely. Probably won't take much for it come off. But for now, it's setting on there nicely.

Sounds like your truck went into limp mode, same thing happened to me. They replaced the fuel pump on my 2017.

I have similar responsibilities at work. I have to start at 4am so I'm on the road at 3am to get to work which means most main and especially side roads have not been plowed. Since I just got my TRD Sport 3 months ago, of course it's been one of those snow less winters so far. Can't wait to test it out in a full on storm. However, the weakest link is those stock, crappy Firestone Destination LE 2's. Might have to change those along with adding weight in the back for sure. Leaving work a few years ago in my old Pathfinder that did quite well in the snow with Michelin LTS M/S tires.

The first thing I did after I picked up my tacoma was to go to my local tire store. They bought the stock tires from me and I bought BFGs.

What I did was drop mine off at the body shop. There were a few issues after they repaired the damage when the deer ran into the side of my truck a couple of months ago. They did a poor job installing the clear vinyl that goes in front of the rear wheel well that protects the paint so they ordered the 2 pieces to replace. They took the trim around the wheel well off and proceeded to take off the clear vinyl and they ended up pulling the paint off of the bottom of the bed.

So now they have to repaint and then apply the clear vinyl pieces. Needless to say I wasn't a happy camper. I hate being inconvenienced. The only good thing was they put me in a new Camry as a loaner. Hope it doesn't take long.

I had a similar thing about 5 months ago. I shut off the truck, cleared the codes with my scan tool. This has happened 2 times in the last 6 months. I also would like to know what caused/is causing this.

Complete OME lift from @HeadStrong Off-Road (soft ride struts paired with 888 coils), medium Dakars, SPC UCAs and 4Runner TRD Pro wheels wrapped in Falken Wildpeaks in 285/70/17... loving the look and ride so far, I just need to find time this week to get an alignment.

How much did that run? I'm asking cause a place in town told me they wanted $200-300 to wrap the roof in plain black. Seemed steep to me.

blam827 · Feb 2, 2021

Had my 20k service done and fuel pump recall taken care of. Dropped it off at 10 am. Was called at noon and said it was finished. They told me it would take half a day. Oh well. It’s done. That’s what matters I guess
