Drove my truck to the Yukon with the Alaska highway, and recently installed my Falcon T2 wheels, and a set of 265/70/17 falken wildpeaks!

I got Taco Clout wide angle mirrors for Christmas and installed them after lunch. Pretty nice product. BsM, heated and integrated turn signal all wrapped in an anti glare package. Probably wouldn't have bought them for myself but can't complain about getting them as a gift.

Is there a backstory to the Robinson decal? Like the NC one too.

Fluid filmed my baby Taco

I wanted shop to do it, but guess what? I brought it 1 month ago to 4 different shops, all BOOKED... I had no idea and thought that business would be slow, but turns out people book it all the way from Jan,Feb lol..

So this time I did it myself, I actually got to most of the frame, from both sides , but obviously not everywhere.. I don't even have a lift or garage .

I booked them for Feb, so hopefully they won't mind this mess, clean it and reapply.

Great job! Looks like you laid it on pretty thick - one of the times that’s a good thing.

There are people that will boot-lick Toyota on this one and tell you it's a "Theft Deterrent."
However, I can attest.... Both Ford and Chevrolet will let you remote start the vehicle either by fob or app and then it will stay on when you get in. It won't unlock the steering column or the gear shifter until a key fob is detected in the vehicle. There are even newer Toyotas that work this way too.

So Toyota selling it to us as a "theft deterrent" and those that guzzle the koolaide are just settling for a poorly designed product disguised as a theft deterrent to explain lazy engineering. I'm surprised they didn't try to pass off the frame rusting recall as a theft deterrent.

Don't Buy It.
Don't Believe It.
Don't Settle For It.
And Don't Let Toyota Off The Hook - they are better than this.

I had no idea there even was an excuse. I forget it even has that feature (and it was -5 F when I left this morning). There are other things in life I have to worry about more. Same with the volume button direction; it works the way it works and it doesn't bother me. The Qi charger; it's useless but I have a cable. The "missing" tailgate power lock; I actually enjoyed installing that myself.

We all have things that annoy us and I don't mind folks telling us about them. The ideas and changes to rid one's truck of the annoyances are a pleasure to read/see even if I'd never do it. I love the creativity from the most basic cosmetic mod to full rebuilds. Yet I doubt many enjoy feeling like they are being told what to think or are called names regardless of how much they love or hate their truck.

Keep doing the snow dances…we went up to our local ski resort today….Ullr needs to smile on us. I was able to wash both my, and my wife’s, Tacoma yesterday for Christmas.

The truck isn't the awful abomination - the excuse is. Just call it what it is and quit trying to candy coat it as something else.
Toyota can't fix it if it isn't a problem and it isn't a problem as long as it masquerades as a theft deterrent.

I hope you can solve this earth-shattering problem so that you move on to trivial matters like taxes, college funds for children, retirement accounts ...

I sent you a Hickory Farms cheese assortment ...

Traveling for Christmas, took my first road trip with my new Rigid SAE light bar (driving lights pattern). I wired it to come on with truck’s high beams. Combined with the OEM LEDs, my high beam is simply ridiculous. It was SO useful on back country roads with no lighting.

Can you provide pic of the front of your truck? Looks great
