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

Long story short, sold it to go to paramedic school, needed something cheaper and a commuter car for the 14 month weekly commute. Ended up getting a full time position at my department instead so this time around I wanted a cheaper truck, loved the look of the 2nd gen/power and found a killer deal.

 

Thanks for the info. I had a choice when buying mine at the end of 2015, getting the new 3rd gen or buying one of the last 2015's made. There was also an $8k difference.

 

I loaded mine up with 744 pounds of charcoal.



On a related note, Home Depot has charcoal on sale .

 

Added a new 41" light bar. I need a fuze block my wiring is getting messy down there.........

 

Find someone who bought a second set, but here is the dilemma I found that nobody has answered: My 4X4 switch has a piece that sticks out that has to go further into the switch to engage into 4Lo. I put one of my round knobs on and I was UNABLE to shift into 4Lo. The knob needs that piece, thus I have to stick with the stock one.

 

Yeah don't get me wrong I loved my other truck and there's parts I miss and others not so much. Pros and cons of both.

 

I am sure there is a lot nice about the 3rd gens, when they said I could have the 2015 for $31K and the 2016 for $39k, I figured I could do a lot with the $8k difference. To sweeten the dealer the 2015 they threw in the bed mat, roof racks, TRD front plate, side steps, TRD shift knob and TRD exhaust tip.

 

Just got these today from Amazon: Boulder Tools tire deflators



And: Boulder Tools Tire Repair kit

 

What wheels are those and what size tires? Nice rig!

 

I love everything about this. Nice work.

 

Huh.

 

Are you happy with the light?

 

Let me explain this further, on the stock dial of my 4X4 switch,



there is a piece that sticks out.



This piece when in 4Hi lines up with a hole in the switch. When you push and turn into 4Lo, this piece unlocks the switch to change into 4Lo. When I put the matching round knob in, I was unable to switch into 4Lo, thus the round knob is not compatible in the 4X4 switch if you want to use 4Lo

 

Who is this bumper by?

 

I just did this very thing! after dropping $1k on new valves i didn't want that ff'ing pump to fail due to a cheap-ass foam filter...

 

Same here

 

BTW got my Mobtown mid skid....

 

Fox's, hydro bumps, OME Dakar's now. until my Deavers pack shows up

 

Completed the Anytime Fog Light mod. Couldn't sleep because the dogs woke me up, so I went out into the garage at 3:30am and did it.

Since where I live (Virginia) is really anal about such things, I'm going to buy another fog light relay and keep it in one of the unused relay sockets. That way when State Inspection time comes all I need to do is a quick switcheroo of relays, pass inspection, and then switch it back.

 

Not sure yet - after buying rigids for the back, decided to try my luck with the cheapo from Amazon. It has a 2 year warranty, and I siliconed all around it, so we'll see how it holds up. Output seems okay from other peoples' pics, but I'm still waiting for the switch to come in for it.
