GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Yeah, I sent the link to my wife. I know shes gonna want it so we just may have to pursue it.

 

Just by pics it has a different interior than the trd pro I was comparing it to of the same year. So that was a red flag too. Plus it was priced 10k less than all the other pros of the same year and mileage

 

I love my runner. It is the most comfy vehicle I have. Would love to get back into a Landcruiser

 

Friday for me boys and girls. Zoo tomorrow with the fam.

Salute!

 

Dealers have no fucking clue what they have. Always check the VIN on the Toyota site, they can't even tell when they have an automatic vs manual.

 

Here in Ga.........

 

Since it won't stop raining, I'm outta here.

Well kinda.

Just wanted to throw it out there for any tw express needs.

I'll be bouncing around between Marietta, sw FL, Johnson City and Nashville next weekend through mid April, mostly with an empty bed.

 

So had a little incident this past weekend. Had a 4 runner back into the passenger rear corner of my parked, off the trail truck. Was hoping the HC bumper took the hit but of course dude had a swing out with gas cans sticking way off it so it hit my bedside. Damage isn’t horrible but I am passively looking for a passenger side mgm bedside. Not entirely too concerned, I drive my truck off-road very often, and to some degree, expect it to get banged up, although I’ve spent thousands on armor to avoid it. So if the body is going to get dented, I’d rather it be my doing. Guy was new to wheeling and it was just after a ridiculous situation where he had almost floated down a river, so tensions were high and situational awareness not so much. Dude apologized but didn’t offer to fix it(which is what I would have done). Don’t really wanna go after him for it bc damage really is minimal, bedsides are already cut but still sucks being my truck wasn’t involved in the situation at hand at all haha. I believe he blames one of my buddies who he thought was spotting him(not the case, dude was doing an awkward 3 point turn in a rush to get out of the river he had attempted to cross). So now here I am, passively looking for a bed side lol. This is the same guy who also blew his rear end just hours later. I’ve got 3 small dents in my truck, 2 of which were not done by me

 

Some people's kids... He should've offered to fix it. But sometimes karma acts real fast and he blew his rear end. Maybe he'll stick to parking lots from now on.

 

Yeah my thoughts and even then I more than likely would have left it alone. Just more so shows some character.

Don’t get me wrong, I think he was a great guy, just could have handled the situation better in my opinion.

 

Put a plunger on that sucker and yank that mofo!

 

Yup.. No personal responsibility these days, always someone else's fault.

Yeah you should be able to pop the large sent out easily. The little puncture dents will stick around but it'll be a lot less noticeable and no need for a bedside.

 

Sorry this happened bro, I know the feeling. I had a similar thing happen to me. A close friend of mine ended up rear ending me cause he was just following to close to me. Slid right into the back of my Landcruiser, which then was a stick bumper. My buddy did offer to pay, but I was going to replace it with a steel one anyways. I did read him the riot act though, as to how shit goes wrong out here. Got to take things slow.

 

already pulled the cubby in the bed and popped the big one out. The little one right next to the tail light is the sucky one

Right? That’s probably my biggest aggravation. Yeah, got it out by removing the cubby in the bed and pushing it out. I could probably massage the little ones out with the right tool. The crappy dent is the one right next to the tail light

I appreciate it man. And yeah, absolutely anything can go wrong and it be a shit show for sure

 

I never mentioned that mine was lifted and they never complained about it.

We had a Trail Premium and loved it! Had everything you are looking for. I believe the Trail Edition Premium (TEP) was replaced with the TRD Off Road. We traded it because we had kid #3 and no way are 3 car seats fitting in the 4Runner. If you think more kids are in the future, I'd probably look for one of those "XP" models that seem to only exist in the Southeast. It's just an SR5, but you get the TRD OR/PRO front grill and wheels as well as the blacked out letters. The reason I'd go with one of those is the 3rd row availability. Even still that 3rd row is small.

I really hope Toyota decides to adapt the twin turbo v6 that is in the Lexus LS to work with the Tundra/Sequoia/Land Cruiser platform. I really wanted one of those instead of the Expedition....but we've been really happy with the Expedition.

Check out one of those paintless dent repair places. They should be able to take care of those pretty quickly and you'll just need to throw some touchup paint on the one by the tailight (which you need to do anyway).

 

2 kids will be our limit so the 3rd row seating isn't on our list. Does the XP models have a sun/moon roof?

 

That reminds me, have you ever messed with the FORSCAN mods on the Expedition?

 

The XP does come with a sunroof.

 

is there a trim model that has heated seat, sun roof, but not leather seats?

She really likes this one and it checks off most the boxes, Not sure if we want leather. And we can live with the knob 4wd and not a lever.
2016 sr5 premium. Less than 14k and priced at $33k.
It's spend it's life in FL by the beach so I'm a little worried about salt rust.
