You can get vent extenders for your rear floor vents, they're awesome.

You can get vent extenders for your rear floor vents, they're awesome.

i stumbled upon these in a Tundra facebook group. everyone that has them likes them.. so i bought a set.

floor mats block the vent, kids saying their feet are cold, air blowing under the carpet? boom, fixed. slips right on in seconds and actually makes a difference. they make the vent stick out further and angle it up.

you can get them here, for a few other vehicles too Derek's a chill guy. commented with him a couple times back and forth in that Tundra group. he ships quick and sends you something small, cool, and extra with your order 🤙🏼

Are drum brakes worth a DIY?

Parking brake stuck on me today, managed to get it unstuck but that means my rear drums on my 19 TRD Sport RWD are due for repair. They have 113k miles on them so yeah.. a little overdue. And I just know they're rusty and dirty in there. Been putting them off because I always hear about how "tricky" drums are.

Wondering if people think they're worth doing myself. I usually do any repairs myself but I've never touched drums. I've done my own spark plugs, front disc brakes, u-joints, driveshaft bearing, and regular maintenance.

Watched a few videos on them and they don't seem so bad.. am I missing something? Shops and parts have only gone up in price over the last few years and I hate spending money for someone else's time when time isn't an issue for me right now. But is it worth the headache? Let me know. Thanks!

Need a plan. Help me with my 2012 build plz :)

This is my beautiful 2012 TRD OR long bed. I love this truck. She's bone stock from an old man who kept it in his garage. Bought it almost exactly 1 year ago with 93k miles and have enjoyed every minute of it. I love taking it camping, cruises with the wife and kid, and overall everything about it. My ultimate goal is for my 5 month old son to be driving this truck one day. With that being said, I want to hear your guys' opinions on what I should do. First let me tell you what I would "like" to do. I'd like bigger tires but don't want to worry about running so what's my options there? I hear so differing things and that leads me to my next question. I want a 2" lift. Little higher ride height is great. Thoughts on what to do for that? Spacers? Shocks? (Please let it be known I am not very mechanically inclined and I am genuinely asking for help on how to proceed) to better help, I live in Indiana. I'm not doing any crazy off road trails but the occasional rough dirt road will be had when I go up to Michigan for camping. But it is still my daily driver. So I'm looking for something that is flexible with camping but still rides smooth on the interstate. Thank you in advance everyone!!

Transmission drain and fill

I recently purchased a 21 with no service history besides what carfax says, which isn’t very much beyond “vehicle serviced: XX,XXX miles”. I’m at 107,000.

I’ve heard enough horror stories about changing transmission fluid after going past the interval, I’m wondering if this is something I should worry about if I go ahead and change it.

Where’s the line for too far past the interval to be at risk of having problems? Or will I just be good to go and am worrying over nothing.

Thanks in advance.

‘21 trd pro hubcap letters?

Hey guys, new here and first post on Reddit. I am the proud owner of a 3rd gen pro, and have been loving every second. I’m coming from a FZJ80 so this thing feels like a spaceship. I unfortunately have been losing the TRD letter out of my hubcaps and am now up to three wheels that look like hockey players. Does anyone have a part number for the plastic letter insert? I’ve seen full caps online but figured there’s a better option. Anything helps!

SR5 in Glacier Cap

Just got this used 2024 SR5 a week ago. I’m coming from a 2015 white PreRunner. Took my old wheels and tires and threw them on the 2024. No lift or level.

GPS Tracker Found

This fell out from underneath the dash (above the pedals area) where almost all GPS Trackers go. I unplugged it and put it in my glovebox. I’m in the South so I imagine the sticky tape isn’t made to handle this heat. Should I plug it back in? It’s financed, but, doesn’t the finance company own it and not the old dealership I bought the truck at? Are there any ramifications for unplugging it? Is it like tearing the tag off of the mattress? 2019 Tacoma Limited.

2018 TRD PRO - Goodbye

95K
Interior is in excellent condition
Exterior is an 8 year old truck
Maintaince per factory recommend schedule (fluids,plugs, filters), the whole shebang
Not a 4th gen

Had a dealer approach me with $30K offer, have a corporate provided vehicle that’s not going anywhere.

I will miss the truck but really not at a position in life to collect cars since this one now sits except for a Sunday drive.

What would you let it go for?

Custom on board air system

Just finished my custom on board air system. The system turns on just with the button on my custom headliner switch panel and shuts off automatically it 120psi.

New Taco Trail hunter

Good afternoon I hope everyone’s doing well.

About a month ago, I just traded out of my Lexus back to a Tacoma (I had the previous generation, included in the end). Counting exactly 30 days.. I don’t think I have anything negative to say about the truck. I’ve been enjoying it endlessly and have the same amount of fun and excitement as the previous Tacoma I had. The “trail hunter” trim I have found to be pretty cool and offer plenty of practical features. So much so I’m planning an over landing trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains!

I guess I’m wondering what the communities’s opinion of these trail hunters are and if anyone has any cool recommendations or suggestions for what I could do to it I’m all ears.

Absolutely obsessed with how this Tacoma has turned out. Nothing beats loading up gear and heading into the woods.

I dont like these fender flares

Just got this 2018 sport yesterday to replace my 2021 offroad that got totaled. I really dont like the fender flares on this truck. I would much rather have the matte black ones that come with the offroad version. Anyone know where i can get a set of 4 without paying an arm and a leg? Oem prices are Insane

Sharing my 98 Tacoma

Just what the title says. I’ve had it since new. 174,00 miles and still runs like the day I bought it. 100% original except for the rims and the starter that I replaced in 2003. Otherwise not a single mechanical issue.
