South Florida B.S. Thread

* That truck would be a beast!!!!!!

* Winch & pulley set-up. I've thought about that too. If I go that route I will be asking you for some advice, I'm sure.

* Hope to see that diff in action for Citrus.

* As for the exhaust, that's the thing about modding in general.... SO MANY CHOICES!

My PreRunner has had take-off shudder which lessened, but didn't disappear, when I installed the Toytec 3 degree shims. I have 3.5"'s of lift on the rear. The shudder doesn't bother me at all because it is only on take-off & depending on how aggressive you take off. Sometimes I don't even feel it.

 

Dan,
Check out this thread:

I first commented on Page 72, post #1432.

I need to do more research but obviously I have time since this is a good year or more away for me but this could help you now. it doesn't seem to be as bad as I first read. My main concern was damaging the diff but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I may not go as high on my next truck as I did with this one. Maybe 5100's @ .85 with 1/4" ToyTec spacers on both sides (no taco lean with OEM springs) which actually gives you almost 1.5"'s & a 1.5" AAL in the rear but time will tell.

Tell me what you think once you've read that.

 

has anyone else with a 2013 taco have drive line viberation? ive been noticing that between 15-25 mph i hear a bunch of chattering under my feet and im wondering if this is the same TSB as for the 2012 models for axel wrap? any suggestions would be nice ive read all the other pages on drive line vibe and im almost certain it is.

 

Mine does it as well usually when, im giving the truck a good
Amount of throttle. Have been thinking about taking it to the
Dealer to check it out.

But from everythin i have read on the forum about it. Everyone
Says its due to the crappy leaf springs. So i dont think there is
Much the dealer will do about it

 

This is what I can't understand:
2nd gen is going on 9 years of production & except for some minor interior/exterior changes it has basically remained the same. Engine & chassis are pretty much identical. Yet, the '13's seem to have the same issues that the '05's have. Shouldn't Toyota have gotten this fixed by now? It's bad enough that they are pretty sensitive to even a mild lift but vibes @ stock height?

I wonder if this will be addressed when ever they decide to remodel these? 3rd gen I guess? Even then I probably won't buy the 1st year model. I'll probably wait a year or 2 after. It shouldn't be this way though.

 

What is the issue with the 2013 model? I recently purchased one. Had a guy tell me at Christmas Eve service that he had a 13' and after about 5k miles his engine started knocking so he got rid of it and got a 14'.

 

I don't know about engine knocking, that's a worst case scenario.
But the vibration honestly doesn't really bother me.

It's a truck, not a corolla. So you really can't expect the two to have
the same ride quality. Just my opinion

 

Agreed.

 

That makes sense. As long as nothing gets damaged. I have head take-off shudder for over 1.5 years now on my PreRunner & drove over 20,000 miles this year alone & no issues. I just don't know how different it is from the 4WD's.

 

Mine is the same way. At first I was curious, but it's only when I floor it. Doesn't seem like anything is particularly wrong that will cause any issue.

 

That's the same exact thing that happens with my 2013. I really don't think it is
anything serious. Either way I'll probably contact the dealer to see if there is any
recalls for it, but that will be after the citrus meet of course.

 

I might want to get in your truck and try to feel what your talking about, with the vibes of course. hahahaha

 

Yea its a very little vibration. But its there.
Cant wait for the trip man. You ready man

 

Hell yeah im ready

 

Yeaaa buddy,

I got a small personnal grill. Going
To bring some steaks and sausages
Let me know if you want to bring some
Meat for the grill man

 

i'll definitely bring some meat for the grill. don't know yet though...

 

Hell yea, let me know.

Its a small personal grill but it will do the job.

 

Well,
I went to Costco this evening to buy some meat for grilling tomorrow & I bought 1 pack of (2) Motorola 2-Way Radios for $69.99. Comes with a Carrying Case & 2 Carabiners. I don't know what Carabiners are since I haven't opened the package yet but what ever they are, it's there. HAHAHA!

 

Tac1 make sure you charge them.
I had to charge mine when we got them.

We should split them up between us for
The drive up so we can contact each other
Better. I have two and i can lend one to
Someone that doesnt have a 2way

 

I am a little late to the party but the wife picked me up a truck tent for Christmas. The parents followed it up with a Ruger Mark III 22 LR pistol that matches my Ruger Mark III 7 mag rifle. Hunting in a few days will be a blast

Anyone know of someone looking to sell their roof rack?
