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

+1 here. I don't have the glove compartment one, but I have the one in center console. Will be replacing it with Bar Caddy when I do my 400W mod next week. The only reason I did not yank it out yet is because bar caddy is a pain in the ass to remove once it goes in.

 

Damn, that's not what I was hoping to hear. Thanks for sharing your experience with them. I will be considering other options.

 

Yeah it was that time... So I replaced them in about 15 minutes for about $45 bucks... Toyota said they'd do it for $340 out the door. Damn I should have went to Toyota..... NOT. #winning

 

You have a '14 and are already replacing the stock pads?

 

That depends on the mileage. I am at 28,500 miles on my 14' and she is about do for some new brake pads

 

Take it with a grain of salt.

They're loved on TW, whether that's because a member makes them (I bought mine here on TW, before Salex was Salex and before he sold on other websites IIRC) or because nobody wants to complain, but I really find them to be an inferior product for the money.

They ship stacked and flat to help prevent warping in transit, and I wouldn't exactly say that's the reason (warping) that they suck so much, it's the poor interlocking design and the lack of fit and finish. If the cuts were made slightly more precise to the actual dimensions of the material then it probably would help some, but maybe not, the material isn't that great either. The material is probably good for what it's intended use is for, but IMO, not for the way it's designed to fit together.

 

That's pretty low. My old full size with heavy duty bumpers lasted 50k

 

Installed subwoofer +amp

 

Really depends on the usage, my previous car's pads lasted 90k. With my truck I do a lot of city driving which is stop and go

 

How many miles did you had on the old pads?

What is that purple stuff coming out behind the pad, will be changing mine soon, so if you use something there let me know

 

The purple stuff is brake pad grease which prevents it from squeaking

 

Interesting. I only have the center console one and it has held up great and holds together well. I would purchase it again. I can see how the fit and finish could be jacked up on some of them due to the design.

If others don't want to spend money on one just grab an empty six pack holder, cut the top off and drop it in. Recycle, reuse, f'n hippies!

 

Looks good I've got a set of those ordered to be in tomorrow

 

Of the 2 organizers the center console is the better, because the pieces aren't as long (I assume) and there are far less pieces/joints.

The glove compartment organizer is the worst thing I've bought for the truck.

 

That sucks. I never got one because I keep my field glasses in there which takes up too much space. Glad I didn't make the purchase.

 

Cabin air filter garden!

No wonder it was jammed!

 

Well.. from what I see the QC isn't there, so you maybe you'll get one of the good sets!

Or you can hit the joints with a hot soldering iron like I did. Or since you ordered on Amazon, return that shit.

 

Installed my redline tuning hood struts along with the 100+ other tacomaworld members that bought them.

Cleaned up the tailgate after the debadge.

 

Good thing you blanked out the license plate.

How's the weather on <street name redacted> this week?
