GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Just a quick reminder -

Tomorrow, I am installing my Hammer Hangers. Anyone is welcome to hang out and help/watch (how about it @BYJOSHCOOK ?)

 

I’ve already got plans for tomorrow. So maybe next time

 

Packing up my trailer for an epic hard enduro ride. This shit is gonna put me to the test! This is my backyard btw. Seriously, my backyard looks like this, I just won’t tear it up with my KTMs

Brap

 

Found this sickness on the web.

 

You know what, I believe that 100%. In my mind whatever is squeaking will either grind itself or pulverize itself away eventually, just have to deal with the creaking until then haha.

 

So that’s where I went wrong lol I built mine differently and ended up with my tire sticking out more than I wanted but oh whales I’m planning on building a prerunner style bumper something on the hybrid side any ideas?

 

Loving the tune from @Stormpeacock. Such an improvement. Highly recommended.

 

Damn it... Hoping she’s not totaled! Just got my shipping notification from BAMF for my HC swing-out rear this AM!

What do y’all think? 2015 w/75k on ODO. Air bags did not deploy. Just hoping the frame or axle are good!

 

That sucks its repairable but likely totaled

 

not sure what i did, maybe it was the new taillights, or it could have been something prior but i think i shorted a circuit for my running tails, parking lights, and license plate lights. (brake lights and blinkers are good)

there is still power to my under dash tail fuse, so i suspect the issue is outward from there.
i checked what i believe is the ground for that line on the body and that seems fine.

Electrical stuff is my kryptonite. Does anyone have any good knowledge/could help me fix or at least get a critical diagnosis before i take it in somewhere?

Thanks.

 

I’m looking for suggestions / references for someone to fabricate me a storage box and drawer slide for my truck bed. Looking to have some more secure storage

 

Have you tried putting your old tails back on? Pinched wire maybe?

 

I tried just sticking the old bulbs in place amd got nothin.

 

Did you change out your whole tail light unit or just the bulbs at first?

 

Changed the whole unit. The new lights are LED with resistor.
Ill say though, im starting to think i may have shorted thay circuit a day or two before this, so it may not be these taillights.
I remember a couple days ago turning on my headlights and nothing happening, and then turning the truck off and back on, then the headlights came on.
So maybe something in that switch fried and stopped my DRLs, parking lights, and license plate lights

 

Do you have any type of bumper to bumper from the dealership you got it from? I'd put my stocks back on and take it to them for them to find the issue if it would be free. Chasing electric stuff has got to be the most frustrating thing in my opinion.

 

I just ticked over 36k two days ago , but ill see what I can do! Thanks man.

 

@YotaBum that sucks man. You've probably already heard back by now, but the rule of thumb I've read a lot here on TW is to check the gaps between the cab and bed on both sides. If one is noticeably wider than the other, that's a good indication of frame damage.

 

If you haven't gotten anything by say Aug hit me up.
