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

My GF said i'm not allowed to get another car yet lol..was thinking about the BRZ.

I was considering trading in about 8 months ago for the updated 2012 face, but the dealership offered me 12k trade-in off the bat..guess i'll keep it or sell it private party later. Jest waiting for the title to come in the mail

hard to say about the flywheel, it looked ok from what i could see. I did the work myself, changing the starter took maybe 20min?



a few of the teeth looked a little chewed, but only a few.

the previous starter had shaft play when the gear would extend and spin.

dunno if i've just been "lucky" with pre-mature starter failures or if my car is really chewing them up...

it's been a little strange. that this starter up and quit on me without warning, but the one previous was back and forth.

 

Now I can't fall a sleep.

 

What's he get? I get 15 avg with a similar set up.

 

First mod- NFab Step Bars (installed during a snowstorm).

 

FEDEX just brought me my weathertech floor mats. Took out of box, replaced OE mat holders w/ theirs and laid mine in. 5 min and complete. They look good and have great coverage over the carpet.

 

Bath, and spiral cable recall.

 

Ok, I have the OME lift too. Whats the CB drop cause I have the same vibe. Was is simple to do?

 

Got some chepo seat covers they don't look toooooo bad. (i don't think) just want them for protection and didn't want to spend a ton of money on nice ones.

then plasti-dipped my gas cap and my hub caps on my wheels

 

Did the DIY aux mod with my single-disk, non-JBL. My total cost was under $4. Works awesome!

 

left my poor truck at the body shop. Thought it was just the tailgate but the bedsides got pulled in. Now they are pulling off the bed to check the frame. And once the old tailgate was pulled off, looks like Billy's bumper got damaged

 

Took out the rear headrests in my Access cab...PITA. While I was at it I spray painted the stock JBL subwoofer black since I had to take the sub out anyway, looks much better IMO.

 

For those rocking the Access Cab and JBL sub haha. No more rear headrests. I can see behind me now!

 

almost glad i dont have newer AC cabs.

 

So much better now!

 

Yeah, i would be too, haha. =P

I was aware of this before i took them out, rarely do I have people in my back seat, but good point.

 

Does that sub get in the way ??

 

Headrests gone - Hell Yeah haha!

Sub - still fugly.

 

In what way?

In general, Yes, when i go camping it can kinda make things difficult.

 

I like how the seats fold out better in the old ACs
