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

At 59k miles, first time changing out the original serpentine belt (thanks internet!) and replaced the power steering fluid in the reservoir with new - last time i did this was 2019.

 

I bought a 2012 back in July and, at 140k miles, changed the ORIGINAL serpentine belt as well as all the ORIGINAL fluids, front brake pads, plugs and pvc. Yes ORIGINAL.

 

Those Ray 10s
Are you going to be pairing them with some 285s?

 

Maannnnn I'm doing 2657017. I daily my truck and as much as I'd like the look I want to keep the truck running smooth. I get 16mpg and want to keep it as close to that as possible. I am getting the Maxxis Razr AT 811's. They look fantastic and are a hair under 40lbs!

I'm on 265/75-16 and my current tank of gas is getting 12.5MPG

 

All I know I’m at the pump every 3-4 days

 

Man I drive so much! I'm trying to hold on to the 16! Smiles per gallon though!

 

*EDIT: the company just emailed me and told me they'd send me a one time replacement. They stand by their products and I'll stand by them!

LOL I love your disclaimer in the photo. That's really not a bad idea you have. I definitely may up going that route if I need to.

Yesterday's temps were mid to high 80's. Last night only got to 50's. So not a huge temperature difference. I honestly doubt it was that. Just spit balling possible ideas? Heaters aren't hooked up as I haven't done that mod yet. I noticed it while backing up out of the driveway. Using the mirror I thought I had double vision for a second.

 

I guess your first thought was "damn the Fords are multiplying". I like those mirrors but after I paid $120 for the L/R RAV4 heated mirror pair with spotters I just feel like these aftermarkets are too high. I had to replace 2 heated stock mirrors with spotters (1 per car) on my Daughters Fusion and Dads Camry and they were $30 each. To me that Spotter brand just isn't worth $30-40 more per mirror. If you like them, and I think they are nice, then that is your dime so you buy what you want. That $135 I saved went to a $142 pair of headlights. $140 to $160 for 2 non-Toyota mirrors seems a bit steep to me personally. I had them in a shopping cart and decided not to buy them. I do hope they send you a replacement.

 

LOVE these wheels. Want to trade? I have ray 10's matte black, with the blazing bronze lip. Limited edition!!

 

Mounted my new 35x11.5x17s
Cleaned up frame rails after 12 inch shock install
Installed my new 2.5 gen shift knob to match my FJ knob, Your the man @4x4cajun

Mcneils fenders should be here in hopefully a week, that is if their wonderful customer service team ever lets me know something...

 

NIIIIICE!!!

 

Sold the RTT and bought a wedge

 

I’m interested to see how you like that tire size, I’ve been eyeing them myself for hopefully easier fitment. But curious on why the glass fenders

 

I cam from 285/75/17s so they are basically a 285/80/17. I went with the 2 inch fenders and bedsides because i like them. Truck is a toy and im going through a phase I guess. Sold all the broverland shit and am going for a more desert trophy truck style. Everything I do is fuctional and done correctly, just doesnt get used as intended probably.

 

Started rust repair on the body of my truck.
The bedside were a major issue thanks to the plastic covers. If you don't have rust I would recommend bed lining underneath them as they wear the paint.

 

I've seen that style you have. It's amazing. Took me two years to get these! Definitely can't let em go.

 

Thanks, unfortunately with work and everyday life, my truck is used more as a commuter than my toy, one day it will be strictly a toy!

 

A few members have filled the voids in the caps to spread load and eliminate the wear lines as well. But the bed liner is a good idea in addition. Nice job.

 

Finally got my p-side Spotter mirror that’s been out of stock since at least February when I ordered the D-side mirror.
