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

Took it to the dealer for the 10th (TENTH) time for POS parts replacement. The POS is now 5 yrs. old and 68k mi. (mostly hwy.) The list is now:: Radio bad 2x, blower mtr noise replaced 2x, large water pump leak..replaced, steering column rattle.. tsb replaced, pwr steering rack leaking..replaced, DRL too hot,melting plastic... replaced both headlight assy's,bad left front wheel bearing...replaced hub and bearing. I guess if I take it back where it was made I could sell it for alot of peso's POS truck all the way NEVER WILL I GET TAKEN BY Tacoma's Worst vehicle ever owned. I had an '84 Dodge wagon K-car that had less issue's. That's the truth.

 

But how do you really feel?

 

Riding on 3 new U-joints. Stealer said two were shot and one was close. Turned out only one was shot and one getting close. Changed all three myself since the Toyota wanted $400 to do it. Now I can grease them and keep them in good shape.

 

Whoa, Toyota did make (1) bad truck and you got it.

 

LOL

 

Do you work for Chevy?

Figured out how to make the dome light come on. (Duh...)

 

Cereal?

 

Don't feel bad, took me four months. First non-Ford I've owned.

 

Open the door? Push the switch to on?

 

^^^How to turn on interior light with door closed. Twice when I was in a hurry I looked for the switch on the dash, but couldn't figure it out so I just opened the door. Then one day I thought, I gotta figure out where the light switch is. Then I had a duh moment. Same day discovered the little miniature glove box to the left of the steering wheel.

 

I think Japanese vehicles have had them up there for a long time. Alllllthough, I have had my share of duh moments with it.

 

I had the other one. My 09 had that same list, minus the DRL issue, but added in the clutch TSB (with new clutch) and a third radio. Front left wheel bearing was 18k; blower fan, clutch, and water pump at 23k; radios at 12k, 23k, and 35k; oh and AC compressor and an LED tail replacement at 28k

 

Today I removed my running boards!! YES!! Those dang things just got in the way.

 

I like it! Way to go!

 

thanks man!

I like it

 

I just put the truck's front end on some ramps to give me more space to get everything and I used about 3 aerosol cans of the stuff. It was my first time doing it and I hope I got all the critical components protected.

I got some on some rubber pieces, I hope they will be ok and after I turned on the truck some of the overspray that I got on the exhaust just burned right off after a few minutes.
