GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Always in option 2. Perfect with topper and a bit stiff unloaded

 

My buddy just dropped 7.2k replacing their entire transmission bc a bearing in their 13’ Outback’s front diff went bad. 130k miles. No normal transmission shop or SU or dealer will work on them. Just replace. Crazy!

Their value drops to the floor way too fast. His 13’ Outback top end model MSRP was more than my 14’ Taco and Taco’s selling for 18k more used today. Lots of gas!

 

You ever stepped on a Lego??

 

I have, and it’s not fun.

 

RAV4 out of the question? We've pretty much determined that's going to be our next vehicle purchase. ~30MPG AWD with much more room than the Corolla and much better gas mileage than the Taco.

 

my wife was loaned a RAV4 once from the dealership. I was actually surprised by the space inside.

 

Doug came with the goods today

 

If they made an awd tundra I would buy it… I guess they do, it’s called a Landcruiser. Lol

 

I think I keep avoiding owning one, cause I know it’s gonna bleed my pockets. Everything for those is $$$$

 

Yo yo, check this bad boy out! Makes pretty good mask!

 

Anyone have recommendations on the best crimper tool for weather pack style connectors?

I'm swapping some lights around and will need to change connector styles...

Thanks in advance!

 

This is the one I use for all my stuff.

awesome, thanks for the recommendation

 

Took me a little bit to get used to it, but it makes nice clean one crimp terminals.

you can change the jaws.

 

New hybrid front bumper from CBI for 3rd gens. I don’t hate it.

 

Doesn't another company make a bumper similar to this one? Can't remember who it is at the moment though.

I don't hate it either, but the question for me, as always, is what does it weigh...

 

Looks similar to the C4 Fab, or Lil B's custom fab one.

I would bet my whole taco that the companies you mentioned have way better customer support. CBI’s was non existent when I had my latch pop open on the dual swing out rolling down the highway.

 

I was in a thread here this past year where CBI sent a guy in a 2015 a bumper for a 05-2011 tacoma. So there was a noticeable gap b/c of the difference in front end design. Took over 3 months for them to tell him they will send him a new one. He got the first bumper in Feb. They sent the replacement in September. Plot twist....They sent him the same incorrect bumper he already had!
