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

Do they salt a lot there as well? I may be going there in the next few months.

 

They do, they don't use that liquid de-icer like they use on 400 series highways in Ontario.

 

I do live in prince george lol

yah because I have a 2005 DCLB 4x4 indigo blue with just about to hit 184,xxx stock with hard factory tonneau cover. I want to switch to a white DCLB trd sport and throw either a 3" or 6" lift on it with matte black rims (black on white accessories). I tried looking in alberta but next to nothing that I could find, is there something else more popular there to use than craigslist or kijiji?

 

Not exactly today,but the past month, I have done the following to my new truck:

1. Figured out the best way to tie-down my mountain bike, no rack, just old fashion truck bed tie downs.
2. Put together a supply of flashlights like there will no longer be power tomorrow.
3. Installed tail-gate theft protection.
4. Bought and returned various types and length of reinforced cable lock for the bed.
5. Changed the horn to a much respected deep beep beep than the original toy honker Toyota installs (single only???).
6. Installed, OEM step bar provided by a Tacoma owner found on CL for free! Awesome gent!
7. Trimmed front mud guards. Too short I think, so took all off eventually.
8. Replaced 16" Baja rims with a TWer's TRD 17s with TRD caps and still good tires. Awesome deal.
9. Brought back to life my 2005 iPod linked to the system.
10. Transferred the TPMS to the 17s.
11. Purchased used OEM bed mat from another awesome TWer. Drove 60 mi one way just for this.
12. Fixed whistling sound w 1/4 tube inserted between grill and hood, cure c/o TWer again!

Is that it so far?......

Going crazy!!! Love this truck.

 

I used kijiji and autotrader.ca. I did the search and selected all the options I wanted (tacoma, black, auto, 2005-2012) then I saved the bookmark in my bookmarks bar. Every day I clicked that bookmark and I knew right away if there was a newly listed truck. Then I'd call about it/go look right away before it was gone.

Since you already have a truck, don't sweat it, you've got lots of time to find the right one. Hopefully you find one before you hit 200k for better resale. TRD sport DCLB are the most popular around here, you'll find one sooner or later. I had a long wait because TRD OR in auto was pretty rare.

 

Autotrader had some stuff and iirc there was a search tool on the Toyota website that you could plug what you wanted in and it would show you matching trucks at Toyota dealerships in the area you wanted.

I wouldn't buy a truck that was already modded a lot either. That might means the person probably used it and beat the truck up offroad or built a mall crawler with cheap parts. I think it would be cheaper stock too. That one you linked earlier had like 10k tacked on for a lift rims and tires.

Just be patient if your truck works fine there's no reason to rush into buying a vehicle and ending up with someone else's headache or massively over paying.

 

no kidding hey... especially when something like this is available and cheaper than the other one...with 100,000km less...http://calgary.en.craigslist.ca/cto/4115082585.html

 

I did this before I took a nap.

 

Smeared vaseline on your camera lens?

 

^ hahaha

 

Lol yea.. lens is clean but its a samsung galaxy s3 and the light in the morning and evening dicks up the camera..

On a side not it flexes quite a bit better with the baja package suspension than it did with the trd offroad stuff. Maybe because the springs are softer. Rides stiffer thanks to the shock valving but the springs are softer.. pretty nice I really like it.

Im taking donations if anyone wants to upgrade my phone for befter pics

 

I'm selling mine for a little more, and it's a 2011 with lower KM. Let me know

 

I stared at it in my garage and contemplated removing the plastic bed liner and doing spray in bed liner.

 

Looks like you got BGR's phone

 

Replaced the brake light bulbs.

 

Bought a can of Plasti dip for the emblems to do this weekend.

Here we go again.

 

If you remove the plastic bed, what are you going to line? That is the bed, not a liner...
