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

My 265's rubbed every so slightly when I was at stock height. I took a heat gun to the mudflaps and bent them in a little bit in the middle where it rubbed.

 

Hey Natural, thanks for the info. Do you happen to have pictures of the heat gun process???

 

Sorry, no pics. Just hit it with a heat gun and pat it wearing a leather work glove until it doesn't bulge out so much. It doesn't create all that much extra room, but it was just the little bit I needed. Hopefully it works for you too!

 

Thanks Bro, I'll give a try!!!

GET ONE! You know you want it.

 

Oh......Hell Yeah!! Looked at the website. How do you know which one you need? There's 7 different ones?

 

Look at your key. There is a dot or other tell tale things on it. Look at his thread. PM him if you need. Great to deal with so far.

 

Thanks Bro... I noticed I have the "G" on my key.. Saw his site and emailed him some questions and you're right...he responded almost immediately. The FOB programming seems straight forward, but wondering if any place can cut a Toyota key? Never had a vehicle key cut before...

Does your truck have the engine immobilizer ?

 

If you take it to Home Depot, or anyplace for that matter. Most places will NOT charge you since you brought your own blank. Just be courteous and use your manners. Us color matched bumpers got to stik together!

Yes. I have the 'DOT' on mine. Removed the chip long ago. Helps if and when I loose the keys or my children are in the truck and want to have the vehicle 'on' I know that they cannot go anywhere and still be able to use all the electronics. At this point in their lives, they have grown out of and know now, that the truck is not a toy. It is a tool. SO getting one of these will still command the same respect they have for the truck.


Here is where my keys are at currently. chip is elsewhere and never in the same place unless the ignition is on.

 

Rick, make sure he knows skygear sent you we are killing his thread with Off topic stuff not directly related to HIS keys. Just so he knows its not all in vein!

 

Eh Rick... Got one of those keys .City mill, Aloha Key and another known lock smith in Kaimuki wouldn't cut the keys because didn't buy keys from them. Another wanted 150.00 to cut and program chip. Ended up taking it to one on Republic St. off of Nimitz, forgot the name. He charged me 100.00 to cut and program. Just gave up looking and just went to him.
Im sure if I looked around might have had a better deal but gave up looking.
Might want to call around before buying. Good to not have to carry around the extra fob remote.

 

Had my cap color matched...much better now!

 

Putt a pic up in the show your shell thread

 

Will do!

 

I have mine mounted behind my satoshi with the BAMF setup. It's nice and sturdy. Here is the link to my install, let me know if you have questions.
