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

From eBay. Around $14. Bolts on in ten minutes unless you bugger the torx head bolt.

 

We'll I'll still be around posting, but I bought a new truck. Sold my Tacoma to the first person who looked at it and got exactly what I was asking.

Now I'm a proud owner of a 2014 Sierra SLT All Terrain. Tacoma's are great trucks, but you can tell that they are designed for modding and offroading. The difference in ride and features is huge from a tacoma to a loaded sierra.

Time to start modding!

 

Guy I work with has almost that same truck, but his is a Z71. The ride is amazing and interior is ridiculously nice. Always super jelly of it.

 

Exact truck I was going to get a few months ago (sans color) if I hadn't gotten another Tacoma after my accident. Great looking truck man! Hope it serves you well!

 

Having owned a '10 Silverado... my brother owning a '03 Silverado SS/'11 Tahoe, and my father owning a '00 Silverado/'14 Silverado...

...GM fullsizes are nowhere near the quality and reliability of Jap-cars, not to mention resale...it's a joke

-Colormatching
-Leather interior
-Engine / Trans. tuning
-CAI
-wheels / tires
-rear shackle drop

 

Finally attempted one of those Headlight Restoration Kits... I was pretty impressed.

 

. Nice looking truck!

 

I would never buy an older gm truck, interior is way tooo cheap looking and feeling. These new gm's are night and day difference.

I think I plan on dropping the back 1-2" and putting some 22" wheels on with AT tires. Color matching all the chrome and black.

Best wishes to you with it... my dad's 2014 is already showing signs of wear, in and out, not even 6k mi on it. It's babied as can be.

...the suspension/frame/brakes are the same as the 2007-2013 models

 

Well I'm not going to lie, my tacoma was no gem. Had a slew of issues while I owned it. This truck has a lot of miles on it for a 2014 and isn't showing any unusual signs of wear. Interior is still in nice shape, leather isn't cracked or flattened, paint is perfect, no weird noises (nice not to hear crickets), runs good and rides smooth.

 

I always wanted to use these smilies.

 

Quick post pics of Tacomas

 

Not today but took her off road for the first time

 

New coolant, new brake fluid, and new plugs. Doing rear brakes and dif fluid this weekend. She needed some refreshing!

 

Holy Balls, that looks incredible. What vinyl is this and where did you get it?

I medium-term goal of mine is to do a vinyl wrap on my silver '12, and I got color samples for darker, MGM-like greys. But man, your pic might have just sold me on a more matte silver. That shizz looks great, especially with the retros.

 

Grabbed my shotgun, aimed it at these cockstain headlights and damn near pulled the trigger!!!!

Did the B&WHLM a year ago with no fogging, leaking, nothing!!!

For the last week and a half they decided "hey let's piss Ross off to no end and fog up"!!!!

Bad idea you fucking headlights!!!!

So I pulled the driver side one out (passenger side is a good girl and knows better and is not being a bitch) and dried it out with a hairdryer.

Put new headlight bulbs in both of them because passenger side bulb went out other day after 4 years.

Realized the DTRL bulb insert on the headlight housing "might" be a bit shitty (stripped out maybe?? ) so I put some putty and shit around it (and the same with the corner marker light, it seemed worse) and seated the bulbs in and they felt tight. Half hour later I have a bit of fog in the driver side AGAIN.

After I posted this I went out, grabbed a beer and paced back and forth wondering if I should fill these asshole headlights with tannerite and laugh like a high school dude with a naughty schoolgirl on prom night as I shoot my load at these shithead headlights!!!

 

Light bar stopped working. Had a lose connection from the battery to the light.

 

Changed the oil and filter(pain in the ass filter location, drains don't work for shit) Cleaned two months worth of NH winter crap off it. Almost forgot what color it was....

 

If you do go through with it, take video
