GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Good thing you guys don't live near me.

If I see someone that needs to reaim their lights or they have highs on they get shit on.
Piaa extreme white and Sylvania zxe bulbs don't play

 

At least you guys aren't (I hope) one of those jerks that goes online, sees HID kits, and pops them in halogen housings just to be the cooliest.

 

Talking about fogs, I welded some brackets for some pods on my buddys taco

 

I do that, with my projectors

 

Which is the right way to do it! I just hate people being inconsiderate to others just to be cool. And the irony is that no one thinks they're cool anyway. No one legit anyway.

 

You only get that kind of flashed when you don't have a muffler and you drive a lowrider

 

So I turned my fogs off and didn't get flashed last night. Hopefully that's the culprit. If not, I will be adjusting my headlights. Last night the wife and I were in her 4Runner and someone didn't dim their brights and my exact words were (as I turned my brights on to flash them) "dim your brights, dumb mother fucker." I realize how annoying it is now lol.

 

I believe I got flashed with my stock fogs as well, before I switched to the rigids. I've gotten in the habit to not drive with my fogs on, unless I feel necessary, and when Im out in the country on back roads, I just turn my fogs off as soon as I see another car coming. It saves me a lot of frustration.

 

2nd gen guys, I was looking through my maintenance schedule yesterday and there is no mention of doing a transmission fluid change/flush. Why dat iz?

 

2nd gens don't have transmissions silly

Honestly no clue but autos suck doing tranny flushes

 

Glad you changed your mind... I hate getting blinded driving down the road.

Too much work? Isn’t it only a screw on each light for the cutoff adjustment?

And fogs lights are for fog... No need to run them all the time

 

I've done drain and fills before and they aren't bad. Ain't nobody got time for a full flush.

 

If I recall correctly, Toyota considers their fluid a lifetime fluid...which makes me a little nervous. To actually flush and fill is a pretty involved process, there's a few threads on it, but I think I'll do a drain and fill when the time comes.

 

I do a drain/fill (not flush) every 15 - 20,000 miles.

Some say that is overkill, but dirty fluid kills your transmission.

 

I haven't done this yet. Do you just measure what comes out and put that much back in?

 

I don't usually measure what comes out. I just add 4 or 5 quarts, and set the level (using the level plug) when the trans is at temperature.

There is a possibility your fluid level is low, so always add more than you drained out, then set the level.

And, change the screen (it's not a filter) once in a while. While not a fine filter, it does trap some gunk.

 

Even better is to wire aux lights into high beams...

That's what I've done

 

Im tempted to do this. Wide cornering is a good compliment to high beam. Want to be able to use them selectively with lows when foggy or heavy rain at night though. Normally on with bright or push button anytime would be perfect.

 

I have piaa extreme white driving pattern and they have good throw but also width

 

Happy Thanksgiving fellas! Don’t drink too much.

Ah heck em drink all ya can
