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

Bought it. 2014 TRD Offroad 4x4 DCSB. They had two 2015's on the lot, but both had LED DRL's which look cheap to me so I went with the 2014 without 'em.

 

Cleaned white wall letterings on tires for that extra PoP

 

I installed my new G4 elite fold-a-cover tonneau cover. Glad I went with G4 elite. It looks great on my truck...

 

Color matched the Land Cruiser emblem to the truck.

 

So, I went from 255-60-18 Terra Grapplers to 275-65-18 Nitto Crossteks and got my Billie5100's put on. So far the ride has improved alot! Way less noise from the tires and the change in tires and shocks have smoothed it out a lot, can't believe I waited 23k miles to do this!!

Had to pull the mud flaps due to rubbing in the front, but pulled them all. I will have a lot of trimming to do and will probably cut 5 inches of them all.

I do feel a slight loss in power though, I might try to get a little more horse power out of it with little tricks like the K&N air filter, etc. so I don't have to even think about re-gearing (just shelled out the money for tires and billies, don't even want to think about the price tag on a re-gearing job.

 

Those tires are great - but they are gas mileage KILLERS...I just replaced them with a set of michelin ltx ms2's and gained 2.5 mpgs !!!!!

 

I went from grabber at2s shouldn't see much change. It's always got the same millage be it bfg definity or generals all AT tires. This is the 4th set of tires for my truck

 

Nice! You shouldn't have to even think about re-gearing with 275 tires (even at 18'') until you get up in the 315 (35's) range usually. Even if your a 4 cyl i think you would still be ok. Looks a lot better without the flaps dont you think?

 

Finally finished up my mini bed rack.

 

Installed iSimple radio interface and XM radio that's controlled by my factory head unit. I've used an Audiovox receiver for the past 6 1/2 years. I love XM, but never liked the look of the installation of an add-on unit. I will miss the remote, though.

 

^That mini bed rack is pretty awesome!

 

Agreed

 

x2 ^^. Love that mini bed rack. Great idea

 

Installed my Clazzio leather seat covers.

 

They look great ... report back after a few weeks.

BTW ... what color?

 

Thanks!

 

Will do. I got gray. The light gray was too light and I didn't want black. I had ordered samples of the colors before buying a set. I actually installed them Tuesday. So far they're great. They give extra padding and comfort to the seats too.

 

Did the intermit wiper change (Thanks Roland)

Out with the Old


In with the New

 

That's def a pain saver...

 

Put things into perspective!
