My 1st Tacoma

Finally decided to post a picture

SR5 upgrade and cold weather packages

Coming from an F150 I really like the car like ride. But the rear was a little too bouncy over the terrible dirt roads I drive on. I replaced the rear shocks with Eibach ProTruck Sport mono tube shocks. I was afraid Blisteins would be too stiff. I’m not driving the Baja 1000. I think I made the right call. Stiffer but not too stiff.

I couldn’t take the OEM tires. So those got replaced too.

Cooper Discoverer Road and Trail. 265/65/17. They are the exact same height as the OEM but wider. I didn’t want it any higher than it already is. These tires tested very well by Tire Rack recently and I see why. Outstanding tires. Similar to the Continental Terrain Contact A/T I had on my F 150.

Added 20% ceramic tint to the front windows. Nothing on the windshield.

Donger adapter for the Viofo dash cam connected to the auto dimming rear view mirror and made that the easiest dash cam install I’ve ever done. Very clean.

It came with factory bed liner and I’m debating a tonneau cover. So far I haven’t needed it.

Overall I’m super happy.

2021 Tacoma Full brake job - 1k?

Hey all! Nyc tacoma here. Drive it hard up and down the coast and even harder with the winter this year.

Got about 60K Miles on it, felt some grinding and heard some squealing from my brakes so off to my local i go.

Got quoted 1k Flat for brakes and rotors (Can attest myself ive seen them and the fronts need to be replaced, and the rear drums must have been housing that nyc rock salt in em somewhere)

I got a second quote for 1400, hard pass.

I dont have the time to do them myself unfortunately - recently had twins - But its the first time ive really gone to shops to do anything as 3 years ago i did everything myself.

Is this the new going rate? I remember doing my own for pennies on the dollar and want to be sure im not being taken for a ride, even did the age ole' take it to a second guy and dont tell them about the first.

What do you guys think?

Easier to change the oil this way.

Well yall looks like might be out of the Taco game for a bit. Walked away with just a small scratch on my elbow so can say tacos can take a beating.

Wild find miles this low

Thought it was a a typo at first. Wild to think one owner drove only 2,700 miles in 10 years of owning this truck. Price is bananas too

Just happy to be here

Been quietly admiring your trucks on this sub for years. Finally made it happen. 🍻

Is this what love feels like?

Never owned a vehicle and promised myself I wouldnt buy one unless it was my dream truck (1st or 2nd gen Taco). When I found this '05 with 11k miles on her, I sprinted to the sellers. We've been on multiple road trips since I picked her up in January and couldn't be happier.

Baby on the way!

I have a 3rd gen Tacoma that I love. But my wife is pregnant and I’m worried the taco isn’t big enough to fit the baby’s car seat. Can anyone tell me how is the space in the double cab?

Recent condensation under 3W weather mats?

I bought a set of 3W weather mats about a year ago after buying a 2016 Tacoma SR5. I've had no trouble with them until now.

After checking to see if the AC drain was clogged (it was not), I took it to a mechanic to see if there were any other leaks and they said that nothing was found.

So, now, I'm scratching my head wondering what the issue may be. The carpet underneath is dry after a rain so I'm thinking it has to be the humidity in Louisiana and the cold AC in the truck causing condensation under the weather mats.

Any thoughts?

With Tire Questions

I know I’m opening myself up to a million different opinions but am looking for some nuggets of advice. My KO2s (285/75R16) are about finished and am researching next on-road all-terrain options. Most of my time is on pavement about 10-15% on gravel/dirt/fields. The Michelin Defenders intrigue me as does Pinza AT. Thanks!

Need advice: repaint/wrap current hood or replace with hood scoop hood?

I’m trying to decide what to do with the hood on my ‘09 Tacoma. The current hood’s paint is pretty rough, so I was originally planning to either repaint it or wrap it. But now I’m also considering replacing it entirely with a hood that has a hood scoop.

For those who’ve done either option, do you think it’s worth spending the extra money on a new hood, or should I just repaint/wrap the current one for now?

2022 Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD SQUEAK

Can anyone tell me what they think this squeaking noise is. Its kind of hard to hear past the tires but you can with the volume up.

Oil change interval

Why does the Toyota website say my oil change interval is 5000 or 6 months? I thought Toyota called for 10,000 or once a year? I do every 6 months regardless, just thought it was odd

are these headlights tacky

I think they look good with the color but i am kind of thinking of switching to clears or just more stock looking headlights. I’m getting a lift and bigger tires soon and want a clean build. Also should I color match the grille or keep it chrome.
