What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Nice! Really nice!

 

Yeah, for the money you really can't beat the basic Clazzios. I've run them before in a previous car and really liked them. Only changed them out in that one when I redid the interior in a chocolate brown. That was a full upholstery replacement as Clazzio didn't make covers in the color I wanted.

 

I just added new dark gray custom seat covers. This time with the Tacoma logo on them!

 

When I bought the leathers in 2016 they were only $274 for the front pair. Now those are on sale for $360. PVC are still $234 on sale. I talked to a local car upholstery shop when I was searching for my 2016. I gave them 3 brands for comparison. Naturally the Katzkin was their choice however they said Clazzio was just as durable as the Wet Okole and perforated would be comfortable all year. They had seen where the Wet Okole had caused excessive cloth seat wear over time on new seats. Some had complained about summer heat. Since these were for a new truck I took a chance. Being black they never got hot and the new seats underneath looked like new after 5.5 years. We had horrible luck with expensive CoverKing neosupreme covers in another car. Those were over $500 and slipped around and snapped the anchors within 6 months. Those looked like factory when I installed them with tight fits but fit more like HEFTY trash bags within a year. I recently bought a $240 full Amazon set for kids new RAV4. Those were a nice tight fit with nice fastening materials. Waiting to see how they hold up. I think now there is more quality and price competition to Clazzio. Have seen some nice seat covers in these forums from several manufacturers. Got to protect that investment.

 

Just got her back today, Toytech ultimate 3 inch lift with a rear AAL, plus a set of 285/75/16 all around. So Stoked!

 

Nice truck! I have a bit of envy right now.....

 

Just paid it off.

 

That’s a good day right there!
Congrats

 

Just hit 240,000 miles in my 2012.

 

the best kind of mod!

 

^that reminds me, just ticked over 145k. Finally starting to break it in

 

How hard was it to get the door panels off?

 

Rebooted my stock cv axles this past weekend. Also swapped out the needle bearing and installed the bushing in the transfer case.

 

Nice!

I do not....hmmmm

 

Its not hard. There is like one big screw in the interior door handle behind a little plastic flap. Then pop out the window controls panel and unplug. Otherwise, just gently pull from the bottom and work your way around the edges, the lift up and out.

 

kind of sounds like control arm bushing to me.

 

@Northbound_Taco how is that upgraded suspension doing

 

Awesome! I got new Whiteline lca bushings, lca moog ball joint. Everything else seems to be just fine.
