GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

here they are on my truck

 

It is a long shot but is anyone interested in trading their color match pyrite grille for my chrome grille in the Columbus or Kennesaw area? for a 2013 of course

 

When don't you just paint it. I've painted a few guys grilles on here. It's easy to do.

 

Congrats!
They gave me a rental car when they did mine. Dropped at 8am & picked it up @ 3pm the same day.
Yeah I feel the same way. Their service dept is excellent. Sales dept is so so.
If you don't feel like changing your own oil, especially in the winter. Check their website for service deals. I do this & get $19.95 oil change coupons.

My 15 year old has been driving my truck lately. He made the comment about no body roll, compared to his Mom's explorer. I told him the rear leaf TSB helped with that.

 

Dang. Double cab. (I'm an access Cab)



I saw a TON of Tacos this weekend down around Kennesaw/ATL. Saw a pyrite DC 2012/13 on my way home this evenin. Anyone on here?

Also saw a black, (Maybe access cab?) 2nd gen with a front bumper and possibly bedlined around bottom/rocker panel area? Saw that one on 575 around exit 19

 

I will eventually when I get around to it, and haven't decided on black or color-match. Just putting it out there in case someone wanted to trade so I could avoid ordering pyrite paint

 

I usually do my own oil changes but have been using the "free" Toyota care with them. Just did my last free one Saturday when I got the tsb approved. It was a little early but was anxious to try for the tsb and my 24 months will be up around the first of the month anyway. For $19.99 it's tempting to let them do it since it would cost roughly the same to do it myself. I don't care for someone else working on my stuff if I can help it though. Just wanted to use up the "free" ones since I did indeed pay for it anyway. Not sure if I will go back or do them myself now.

I do take my wife's car to Honda for the oil changes. Two reasons, 1. It's a pita to get under the Accord. 2. It takes 0w-20 which I haven't been able to find in a store anywhere. And just as you said above, I find coupons from the dealer. Still a bit higher with them but it is a synthetic blend oil. If I buy from them it again would be roughly the same cost as doing it myself.

As far as the tsb, I told them I had a harsh ride when loaded. Then I told them I knew about the tsb for it, in which the tech said he had never heard of that one at what point I pulled out my print out of the document that I got off TW. They didn't give me any trouble. Even said they were going to do it right on the spot if they had the parts. I knew that they wouldn't have them though.

So how long should it take for it to settle? I want to get the 5100's on as quick as possible. I don't care to drive around with my ass in the air. But I want it to be level and was wondering at what point I should know it's settled enough to know for sure? I see pics on here where some look higher in the front and some look level with this set up.

 

Anyone in the area happen to have access to a welder or have a welder?

 

I do. What do u need welded

 

Dude somethin told me you would be first to reply. I was just curious if anyone was close with one, I mean ill be gettin stuff in the near future like sliders. Could you create somethin though? Like a tire carrier?

 

Got someone wantin to come Tuesday to look at my Bike! Haven't been tryin real hard to sell it, just put it on Craigslist every now and then to see what happened. He needs to buy it so I can get a GSXR 600

 

I'm drawing up plan now for a rear tire carrier just like the CBI's receiver hitch model!! But yes I can weld your sliders on but I don't have a tube bumper to bend the metal to make sliders. Other than that Meatman and I can fab baskets and weld anything you need done. We made our baskets from the safari models.

 

No!!!!!! Put the money in the truck bro.

 

That's where the problem is in my mind. I really want a GSXR, but with the $2800 he said he'll give me for the bike, plaus the 1000 I got as a bonus, plus the ~$1500 or so I should get from taxes....I could do a lot to the Taco.

 

Yes you could bro. I've ridden bikes all my life and I'm glad I've stayed off of them. Put it all in the truck

 

What kinda bike you got?

 

Shhhhhhhh. Don't make the decision more difficult than it already is! haha.

 

Truck!!!! Buy a dirt bike!!!

 

Lol.
