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

It's a factory hazard panel from a 12-15 Tacoma interior, it's plug & play. I didn't like the orange clock on my 07 panel.

 

Yup, those are the exact same ones I ordered

 

Those things are pricey if you try and order one online. $226

 

Front diff drain & fill. Replaced the 10mm hex plugs with Lexus 14mm plugs (part numbers 90341-24016 for the drain, 90341-18060 for the fill). Got the idea from this thread and this one too.

 

Sad day for the taco





Got hit last night as i was legally passing another car on the shoulder. Waiting to hear from my insurance company to see what repairs will be. Other driver was ticketed and was at fault since he swerved into the shoulder while he was turning left into a subdivision.

rocker panel and bed are smashed too

 

Shitty!
Did the driver do the ol "I turn corners like I'm pulling a 50 foot trailer"?
I always see terrible drivers swerving the opposite way before turning a normal corner... idiots... learn how to drive lol

 

you should just look into building a short flat bed

 

Yeah exactly…. I thought I was the only one that noticed that idiotic move? I mean why in the hell when you’re turning left in your Prius do you need to swing wide right so you don’t clip the back wheels of your tiny car? Makes no sense whatsoever? :-(

 

That sucks man! I’m so sorry. People drive worse and worse by the day I swear. I hope all works out for you.

 

Goof-off has always been good to me. I think it’d work good for that ? OR I just remembered that Lowe’s sells something called “Zep” orange citrus cleaner which worked excellent on removing road tar off my wife’s Cadillac paint, that’d probably eork great too? Hope it helps good luck!!

 

I have the perfect thing to fix that.

 

What are the specs on your wheels? Offset, backspacing, etc....

 

i will be going to the camp site where i usually go and there is really bad reception, so i will teat it out this weekend and hopefully reply from the camp

 

Washed her today. She sparkles like a diamond.


or she’s scratched to shit

 

Yeah they are. I got lucky and found one on ebay for around $45

 

With Moab less than a week away, spent this morning doing a bolt check, think she's ready to rock.

 

Sure did. Guy was driving a uhaul van and apparently thought it was a semi truck. Thanking the wildpeaks I had put on a few months ago or else I would’ve been pit-maneuvered into oncoming traffic. I wasn’t going too fast and there’s no damage to the frame/underneath other than a big dent in the rocker so I’m hoping it can get sorted out quickly.

If not looks like I’ll be getting wile e coyote stickers like above haha.

 

Hit a deer Saturday. Nothing too bad but I'm going to be paying my $100.00 deductible to get it fixed. Not sure what this thing sheet metal part does lol

 

I dont like the look of flat beds, i like having fenders. I thought about tubing it out and laying the panels over the top, but without a cage to build off of it wasnt worth it right now. This setup wont last forever, ill smash it on some more rocks and have to do something else.

 

Weak! Sorry man
