Rochester NY Area Tacoma Owners

Hi everybody, another born and raised Rochestarian here. I got my 2017 sr back in late august, and I've been loving it.

Not much for mods, I did the intermittent wipers upgrade and ran some mudflaps in the winter but I took them off this spring b/c they were killing my gas mileage. I also have a ladder rack on back order from etrailer, mainly because I don't like doing this with the kayak

 

I'm second gen but wanted to swing by and say hi

 

Which side of the dash was rattling? I've got something that sounds similar, I'm planning to have them look at it during 10k service.

 

All gens are welcome as far as I'm concerned. Let's see your truck!

 

Welcome RocTaco! Where do you normally like to kayak around here?

 

Only pic I have on the phone. Nothing special done to it - 2010 MGM. She do eat snow like a champ though!

 

I had a 2010 MGM prior to my black 2016. Couple pics on my Media Page, if interested.

 

I think I know the guy who owns the red truck in your picture. His parents are my neighbor. Small world!

 

I went to NH a couple of weekends ago to do some class 6 roads and had a blast. The truck did awesome in its stock form. I was really surprised at how well it handled the terrain it encountered. Let's just say the locking diff makes a huge difference!

 

If anyone knows of a 2nd gen owner in the area that wants a chrome grill, I have one FREE for the asking. Sorry, but I don't have any pics. It has less than 500 miles on it though, so it's in perfect condition. It's been in my parts collection for a while, as I never got around to installing it on my previous vehicle.

I also have this rear bumper piece (#8 in the diagram) if anyone wants it.

 

As it's starting to warm up (albeit ever so slowly), I'd like to solicit suggestions for where and when we might get together for a meet-up. Nothing complicated or fancy the first time out, but definitely a group photo of our trucks and perhaps a show-and-tell. What say you?

 

I say yes! Friday / Saturday / Sunday evenings would be best for me.

-Steve.

 

Sounds good to me if you don't mind an old man hanging with you guys! <grin>

 

I'd be in for sure!

 

I wouldn't be so sure you're the old man here, old man...

 

Does anyone have a good shop to use for exhaust work? After going to NH and smacking the low hanging exhaust pipe by the transfer case I am looking to have a shop re-route the exhaust to go above the cross member it currently goes under. Thanks for the help.

 

Syracuse, NY....grew up in Rochester though.

 

I've only had one experience with this outfit (http://mufflershopinc.com), but they served me well. They were able to repair an exhaust system for me that other shops insisted would require an entire system front-to-back. Physically, the place looks like a mad house, but it may be worth stopping by to discuss your issue. YMV

 

Thank you for the suggestion! I will check it out.

 

Installed my kayak racks today.
