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

Spun the tires.

 

Have a look at this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...lay-mod-prevent-blower-switch-failure.827331/

 

I thought it was generally used w/motor running.

 

Got my tires rotated at Costco and lug nuts replaced (Costco recommended at 186,000 miles) Tomorrow getting oil changed and rear differential fluid exchange. Off to Grandma's house!

 

Installed Polyperformance UCAs. These things are beefy!

 

Finally got my SCS Ray10s on now that winter may be over Unbelievably impressed, customer service was off the charts.

 

thanks for the link... i will read through again but aeems promising solution to my problem... thankfully my truck hasn't caught on fire yet

 

I did. I keep breaking them and remaking them, and breaking them....so on... and so on. This latest version pushes them further up into the fender well, and has less coverage up front covering the fog light housings. Once this material is gone (likely this will be the last set) I may try to make them out of aluminum.

It is. But it draws more than what the alternator can put out, so you’re dipping into the battery’s reserve. If you’re stupid and shut off the truck after a long winch pull in the woods, it might not have enough juice to start again. Compounded by being even more stupid like wheeling alone and without a jump pack or a buddy with jumper cables.

Not sayin you don’t know this, but there it is.

 

Maybe consider spacing down your bump stop

 

I’m sure even if I did know this there are others who didn’t.

 

Does your scanner read ABS codes? Not all will read ABS codes. I had to buy a scanner that did read ABS as my other ones only read CEL codes.
Those symptoms though sound like an ABS sensor in one of the wheels. You should be able to pop them out with a single bolt on the front end and check to ensure the Oring isnt damaged in any way. When mine went bad and threw the same lights the oring on my driver side was bad and water got to the sensor.

 

I’ve had my 2011 for about a year and a half. It came with badly painted wheels and a very flaked grill. I replaced the grill and upgraded the wheels to TRD beadlocks, both of which I was able to order from the dealer. I’m still waiting on the center caps to arrive but I thought I’d share nonetheless. It looks much better to me!

 

Looks really good! Clean

 

Love those wheels but curious why you didn't go with the color matched 2011 grille. One of the best things I did was adding the 2011 color matched grille to my 2008. Think it was only $30 more than chrome.

 

The main reason is that this truck sat outside for its whole life before I bought it and the paint is a bit faded. I don't think a color-matched grille would have actually matched very well and it would have driven me crazy seeing the new paint vs. the old paint.

 

I 100% get that. I had my roof and hood painted after installing the grille. I had planned on that anyway as my hood paint was completely shot and the roof clear coat was down to a milky white haze. That costs me $980. It was so bad I even considered Raptor liner before getting it painted. Glad I did paint it. Rest of paint still looked great.

 

Same but was planning on doing a scooped hood, so had that painted to match. Roof is still not the greatest but looks ok after a wax.

 

My scanner doesn’t, it’s a somewhat cheapo one that just reads CEL codes.

interestingly, I’ve driven it twice to work since this happened (~8 mile commute each way) and everything is working as normal. No more lights on the cluster. Could they have maybe drained the battery down by leaving the truck on (but not started) and me driving charged it back up? I’ve been reading battery issues can cause all sorts of stuff.
