Catching up on the thread as I went camping this weekend, love seeing these pups.

 

Installed avs smoke

 

Get some V5 Meso turn signals for the mirrors! With everything else smoked/blacked out, that’s needs fixin’

 

Kind of you to lend them a line. I wouldn’t get in that glacier fed river either!
Semi-related side note: That glacial silt is nasty stuff. It’ll get in your wheel bearings and exposed drivetrain stuff and wreak havoc. It’s not just the water crossings, but the mud is super fine too. Be sure and get after it with a pressure washer ASAP
Call me a baby, but I save the Jim creek runs for the winter to get all the way back to the glacier. Absolutely worth doing in the summer when the water is low, but not something I make a habit of. Definitely bring a capable friend or follow someone else when you go, and watch out for tweakers

 

Your truck looks glow-in-the-dark

 

What brand of speakers did you use? Honestly how hard is it to get the door panels off?

 

Added the mushroom tip (pre-cleaner), and a local dealership had the skid for 20% off 320 + tax.

 

Bought new wheels... CMC → tires → install coming soon.

 

I just turn the dealer frame around. So that the plate still has a frame but I'm not advertising for them

 

@Nimble9 Makes a bike mount that attaches like this.

...why would you downgrade?

Jealous af! I've been looking for one of these since for whatever reason it's gone on the 21's

RAAAAAYYYYSS <3333

 

I've never understood why people let dealerships put decals on their vehicles. It's free advertising for them!

Every single new vehicle that I have bought, I made the dealership remove the decal that they always put on the trunk deck lid or tailgate. I also have them remove the license plate brackets (those are worthless anyway).

 

I made that statement directly to my sales agent when I picked up my Taco. If they treat you well then you will tell people. If they don't, you will also tell people.

 

I don't see moving from JBA to SPC as a downgrade. They both can achieve the same outcome (high caster) with SPC giving more adjustability in the end, both caster and camber.

 

Black badges and ceramic coat right over its first pinstripes, ha

 

I'd really like to have that anytime front facing camera but am not handy and that looks intimidating to install. How hard was that to install?

 

I had a car do this when the battery was failing.
I was driving at cruise speed and out of the blue my needles stared swing back & forth full scale. Tach, Speedo, Fuel, Temp, Amps, & Oil Press. Freaked me out. Car continued to run without a hiccup and the needles returned to normal function. Occurred twice (different days). The battery was dead at the next start or two after the 2nd event.
The batt was 10 years old, so I didn't cus.
After I replaced the battery, the needles never went wonky again.

 

Scooted around town and finally hit 1500 miles 11 months after buying the thing..

 

Don't feel to bad I'm about to hit 24k after 5 yrs and it's my daily driver.

 

Just took delivery of my 22 TRD OR a week ago (TRD Lift and front Grille installed by dealer), got 200 miles on it so far.

Already knocked out:
- Bronze TRD wheels with some 4 runner tires I had down in the basement (Nitto Terra Grapplers).
- Picked up a Autel TPMS programmer to ODB program the sensors into the truck (no more trips to discount tire for me )
- Swapped tail lights for the night shade tacoma trim.
- Swapped out the chrome rear bumper inserts for black inserts.
- Swapped TRD Performance (black tip) exhaust for a Magna-Flow setup I had already.
- Swapped battery for AGM
- Swapped out the rear view for a Bob's Mirrors Rearview with HomeLink (2022 and still no garage door opener, really??)
- TRD Shift knob for my manual
- Swapped Steering wheel for $200 eBay special (Had same one on my 4Runner and loved it)
- Weather Tech Mats
- TRD Skid Plate

Next on the list is Corrosion Free Formula 3000, then onto new radio and speakers/amplifier, sound treatment etc...
