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

looks like the white painted steel wheels that came stock on my 1978 Jeep CJ7 Wrangler Edition.

 

How the heck do I get the TPMS light to come on? Tires several miles away but no light.

It's on the dash right?

 

Where did you get that antenna?

 

Get a flat tire!
Yes.

 

With 4 different sensors it should come on now.

 

might just look really good with 255/85/15's on them kind of a deception it's stock

 

Should just come on. Are you the first owner? PO might've disabled it without you knowing.

 

These lights all come on when I turn the key to on, they all go out after ai start the vehicle and stay off. ABS light is on but can't see but the edge on the right of image.

 

Had 1630 on the odometer when I got it. Couldn't imagine the first owner disabled it, it comes on at key on but goes out and stays out.

Hell, I'm sending the scanner and flash tools back

 

Huh, that's weird. Dunno what to tell you there.

 

honestly not trying to intrude but when i had my 285's on with no tpms in the wheels sometimes the light would come on and sometimes it wouldn't

 

100+ people signed up for the ARB Awning group buy, and then once it was time to order Ramon's contact at the supplier went completely dark/silent.

Fortunately @ramonortiz55 came to the rescue with a coupon code that was an (almost) exact equivalent price to the group buy pricing.

 

Got a shipment from Cochrane Toyota which included some in-channel window visors, an OME carrier bearing drop kit, and this TRD shift knob that I popped on last night. It feels so nice to go from squishy leather to a solid feeling shifter. Somehow feel more connected to the vehicle.

I want to do something about the chrome bushing on the end of the shifter boot, though. Looks somewhat yucky. I want to see if it's easily removable and if I could dip it black or something.

I also drove my Tacoma to a job interview at a sexy company today and got an assignment to complete over the long weekend. Wish me luck, bros.

 

Something I've seen before but have yet to do, is to remove the chrome ring, then tuck the boot inside itself and secure it. I believe the guy ziptied it, then put tape over the ziptie so it wouldn't cut anything. It made the shifter look a little longer and more truck-like.

 

Murphy's law I tell ya, Murphy's mother effing Law.

Hopped on Amazon, got the return lables and hit the UPS drop box that picks up at 8pm. 7:13 now. Dropped them off and I shit you not, 1 1/2 blocks from my house the damn thing started flashing and lit up.

You can't make this shit up.

 

You have got to be shitting me. What was it you returned?

 

This to read the ID's

I'll hit Discount Tire tomorrow, see if they'll switch them over for me. I bought the road hazard/lifetime mount and balance when they mounted them up.

 

Ahhh, I see. Why spend so much on those when a shop will do it for a fraction of the cost?

 

Packed up the truck for a weekend of camping and fishing.

 

Discount Tire said they would not clone my stock ID's to programmable sensors. I was going to do it myself and have them mount and balance them. Then ended up buying 4 used with rebuild kits for the price of 1 sensor.

Ebay seller says they check them all and keep the ID's written down but couldn't tell me what the battery levels were. Bought the scan tool to read battery levels and was going to swap the ID's myself.

They were going back anyway, I spend so much money with Amazon they can loan a tool a few times a year for me lol.
