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

Edited my original post. I agree with you.

 

Did it eliminate the 1/2 inch dead spot when you first push the pedal down? I’m coming from an 02 with a throttle cable and I hate that unresponsive area when the pedal first goes down

 

I don't have a Pedal Commander installed on my Tacoma as there is no need for one. There is no dead spot on the accelerator on my 2013 TRD O/R. You may have a bad throttle position sensor on the throttle body or an excessively dirty throttle body.

 

Last night I popped open my rtt. Seems all the wash board roads I drive caused one of the nuts holding the support bar to come off and the bolt back half way out. Took me about a half hour to get the thing back in. There is a threaded insert in the support bar that was spinning and I struggled to get it to hold still enough to get a nut on it. But I got it on and put a nylock nut on both sides. Long story short if you have an RTT and drive a lot of rough roads CHECK THE HARDWARE! I would have been pissed if I got to camp one night and the tent wouldn't open right or something worse.

 

I disagree.

 

You'll never guess who I got it from! Thanks for the great vids!!

 

Does anyone want to buy my short bed Leitner rack. Willing to ship.

 

Did you read my whole post? The bold especially:

These are both issues. The Throttle Position Sensor on the throttle body was finicky on all 05 to 08-10 Toyota Vehicles.

 

Will it fit over a softopper?

 

Thanks!

 

I read it it’s a 2015.. I’m not crazy I’ve read many people say the same thing. Throttle by wire just isn’t the same as a cable

 

Sorry forgot to post completed pics

 

Aimed the retrofits....25ft away at 39" off the ground to compensate for my 3" lift

Is what I'm looking at correct? Should I bring them in closer horizontally?



Thanks for the feedback

 

Looking good! Which headlights are those?

 

Retrofits blacked out the reflector

I used to have a PC on my truck, I removed it when I changed the rear axle gear ratio. When the truck was unloaded/empty the gear swap (from 3.73 to 5.29 with 37's) was slightly better than the PC with the stock 3.73 gears. The driveability was a lot better with the PC than without it. After the gear swap the PC was unusable as the truck was just too "jumpy" for lack of better words. When towing the gear swap was much better than the PC/3.73 combo.

PC $300
Gear swap $920

 

I agree that throttle by wire isn't the same as a cable throttle, and a cable throttle isn't the same as a push pull rod like my 67 Camaro had either. I was just trying to help out. In 30,000 miles on my 2010 Tacoma TRD O/R AC and 185,000 miles on my 2013 TRD O/R DC I have never noticed any appreciable 'dead spot' in the beginning of the throttle. Our 2008 RAV4 & 2010 Corolla had a very noticeable 'dead spot' at the beginning of the throttle and both were diagnosed with bad throttle position sensors. They were replaced and all was good.

My wife and mines Compasses have so much lag that you can put the pedal to the floor and wait.
