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

My truck lost a lot of weight today…. (Sold my cap for cheap).

 

@Buzzkill657

Just a heads up. the lights don't come with gaskets at least mine didn't, (transfer from old lights), and you will have to trim tab on the reverse of the new lights, just copy from the old.

The new lights fit either side.

Start to finish 10 minutes.

Lost some weight

 

I was fixing the factory heated seats on my ‘13 SPORT.

I had to correct two wires this morning. I mixed up two wires, my seats were HOT and that was after I remote started the truck with the A/C running. Switch wasn’t doing shit, worst coffee run ever lol!

 

Overworked, underpaid, and never fails me. It's my Tacoma of course. Fithy because it's my busiest time of the season and you gotta get it while you can.



It's completed tasks I never should have asked it to do. TACOMA! with a couple of mods.

 

May seem a little over-priced for a minor upgrade, but man does it make me happy. 4-door driver auto up/down switch AND passenger auto up/down switch. Their green is much brighter/deeper than our OEM yellow-green so I ordered white and it's perfect/subtle. Needed to shave a few spots on the passenger trim piece so it'd snap in properly but easy fix (see pic). Window lock light turns red when engaged.
Use kingsev7 for $12 off. Paid the $2 shipping option and had it to my door in Simi Valley in 3 days. Also ordered their lighted driver door switch for our 2020 RAV4 (you know the pain if you own one) and the ice blue light matches perfectly.

im ready to make the switch and buy the switches... problem i have right now is.. i found the driver side cover in black. its like 12-15 bucks or so.

my problem is why is everyone selling the passenger side cover only for $50. wow just wow.

fyi. i got to have the driver side and passenger matching. lol

 

Honestly, I would buy a can of Shadow Black Hyperdip and paint them both. After years of mixed results with Plastidip, I've been using Hyperdip lately with awesome results. Can't believe how much darker, smoother, and more durable the finish is.

 

well im changing out the switches on both sides so the covers wont match. dont think the 2012 passsenger switches will fir in the 2011

 

Nope, and I think the auto up/down feature only works with 12-15 wiring even if switches/covers fit a 2011

 

already did the rewire on my friends 2010. but he didnt care for the color. i do. like my original post said. im looking for the covers. not worried about the wiring

 

Now if only they made a matching illuminated passenger lock switch...

 

I guess for some people the auto up/down is a nice convenience. My non-Toyota suv has this feature and I hate it. Every time I go to bump a window down slightly the window goes full down. Same for bumping them up. They have the anti-pinch feature but it scares me when I have a dog in the suv. My Tacoma is an access cab and the passenger window has only been opened 5 times in the last year so def not something for me. I would use extreme caution and be concerned with this feature if I had small kids or a dog when the truck has no anti-pinch feature. I also had a couple of vehicles that had an all windows down feature when pressing and holding the door unlock on the key fob. Was a novelty feature that nearly always worked when it was raining.

 

The included auto up/down passenger switch DOES illuminate and matches the driver switches (whichever color you choose). Fyi, they all illuminate with the ignition and not the parking/headlight switch. In other words, they’re on all the time.

 

ordered yesterday too with a discount code. status is already shipped so hopefully Ill have them in by mid-next week.

I cant tell ya how often I have wanted to have auto windows up/down to soothe my OCD of all windows going up/down at same time

 

is the auto function built in to the switch? I guess im asking if there is any additional wiring needed or just plug and play?

 

from all the vids/reviews its a simple plug n play

 

Plug and play, they've had Tundra ones out for several months and people have been using them. Some people have issues with the auto function not working all the way.

 

I was talking about the passenger door lock switch which is separate in the passenger side.

 

Thanks for the response. I will add this to my wants list. Building a house has cut into my needs and wants list
