What is 1 thing you don't like about your 1st Gen

OK, then I will say IMO there are many advantages to disk brakes over drums. Drum brakes may be cheap, easy to maintain, easily used as an e-brake and they require less hydrolic pressure to achieve the same stopping power but, they over heat easily and are more likely to fail. If debris or water gets in a drum brake it can impact the function of the brakes for an extended period of time. For the same stopping power drum brakes are heavier which increases the unsprung weight reducing ride quality and fuel economy. Disk braked tend to be self cleaning, have fewer parts to fail, are self adjusting, can maintain greater stopping power under heavy use... I could go on... As for never having to change the shoes on your rear brakes, disks would be no different. The rear brakes don't really get used much. For a performance vehicle disk brakes win but are not always worth the increased cost.

 

I just don't see the need to go to discs when drums are still used on most large vehicles. They do their job. But its your ride, and I'm sure they'd look cool lol

 

I hate the cup holders in my 2000 Tacoma nothing stays in it...it either flips over and dumps right in the stickshift boot or flips over and spills on the carpet!

 

No reason for me to switch to disk brakes. Drums do what I need them to do.

 

I hate the little cup holder tabs

 

Put a can koozie in them. Or, what I do, I use a small wash cloth to cradle the cup and keep it snug in the cup holder.

 

I wasn't suggesting anyone would NEED to swap them. I still have the stock brakes on my truck. I was just pointing out the advantages of one over the other. Going to disks in the rear on my truck seems like more work and money than the slightly improved performance is worth. Drum brakes do just fine as long as you understand their limitations.

 

I wish my square cup holders had tabs.

I guess the Japaneese thought cups were going to look like this in the late 90s:

 

1) Lack of power going uphill. Hard to maintain 80MPH, at high grades.

Of course 2.7L +gimpomatic+DC= slow truck

2) Horrendous headlights.


Love everything else about it

 

Flimsy Tailgate

 

Why do you need to pull 80 uphill?

 

Because in Los Angeles, i don't want to die. I was doing 65mph, uphill and getting passed by trucks.

 

Maybe you need a faster car?
Then the Taco could stay home away from those crazy truckers.

 

Oh I got plenty of fast cars and bikes

 

Please never compare a Honda Civic to a Tacoma ever again.

 

Yeah! They are not affordable, light duty Japanese vehicles with 4 wheels and decent gas mileage! They are definitly not something people buy and customize no matter how good or bad their taste in "mods" are. These things always have around 200k miles on them and people love them to death...

Wait are we talking civics or tacomas?

 

I hate that it doesn't have a clock who made that call

 

No clock might have actually been better then a clock in a bad location...

 

Main reason why I want disc brakes in the rear is cause of safety really. Plus I have trouble changing drum brake shoes and adjusting them. I just like disc brakes more

 

I like how they placed the cheesy, shaky, plastic cup holders so that when coffee or soft drinks gets to splashing around it all runs down over the stereo and the vents. I refuse to use them at all, ever!
