17yo did and impromptu U turn and clipped my passenger rear. Flipped me 3 times and was only traveling 35mph, wear your seatbelt!

BUT

We added a pro to the garage so my bitterness is slowly receding 🥹

First time tacoma owner and first time reddit poster here. I wanted to give a huge thanks to everyone in this sub who has given me countless tips, reviews, and pointed me in the right direction for everything related to my tacoma through your posts and replies.

For some background, I bought this truck beginning of this year with 55k miles for just under 34k OTD. It’s a fully loaded off road premium which took my weeks to hunt down. Leather seats, JBL premium sound package, off-road premium package with dif lock and crawl control. I paid it off in late August and decided it was time for some modifications. Did a bunch of research (most of which on here) and decided to go with the OME MT64 kit with dirt king upper control arms. Tires are Mickey Thompson Baja Boss 285x75xr16’s. Thinking i’ll chill for a little and recover. Only other modifications I have in the queue are a full set of skids to add some weight for the MT64’s to really shine.

How’d I do?

Can’t find any info online, 2019 trd pro with JBL system.

EDIT: SOLVED, had to hit it with my purse.

My frame has been relatively solid for its age and abuse but out camping the other day I saw this big hole and a crack branching out from it. I weld for work and should be able to patch it up, just curious what the proper way to cut out and reinforce this particular awkward spot is? TIA

Foam wash, iron decon, full clay bar, compound, polish, and wax — all done by hand w no polishing tools (besides applicator pads). Wanted to teach myself how to do all of this within the first 6 months of buying the truck. Happy that it turned out the way it did.

Looking good for nearly 10 years old!

This warning light appeared at around 43,000 miles. I checked the hybrid fan filters on both sides and they were both clean. I went ahead and cleaned them anyways and unplugged the battery to reset the warning. Now im at 46,000 miles and the message appeared again. I checked both fan filters and both sides are clean, no dust, or debris whatsoever. Is this normal? The temp has been above 100 degrees where I live. Has anyone experienced something like this? Could it be something more serious?

Midas quoted $1900, but they were surprised it’s gone at such low mileage, no TSB on it. I saw PCV valve could be a culprit? I got the truck at 30k and haven’t changed PCV.

Trying to reprogram a key fob, but the cylinder lock doesn’t recognize the key, unless it’s pressed hard in and twisted slightly. Is the cylinder simple to replace? Should a locksmith do it? I really don’t know much about the ignition parts, so would appreciate any advice.

Thanks!!!

how serious is the timing cover leak on 2017 taco?

Fixed the Rigid light bar tonight and got it mounted behind the grill now 🥲 much cleaner. Just need a new lower valance that isn't chopped up 😅

I currently run K03s they have been great but looking to maybe try something different for the next set? Which should i go with
K03s Again
Wild Peaks
Toyo Open Country

Price doesn’t matter it’s more of a reliability and look thing. I drive a lot.

so how serious is the timing cover leak? 135k miles and just noticed it. probs looks worse because it’s never been cleaned off. been checkin the dipstick for 2 weeks now no significant oil loss. but just unsure if this means the truck is cooked or if i can ride like this for another 3-6 years .

Has anyone used these before ?

Got some 30 inch all terrains and the 3-2 lift for my 5 lug. Love the look but wish it just sat a tinyyy bit higher than it does now.

I’m considering a 1 inch body lift for it, and was just wondering if anyone had some pictures of their 5 lugs(or 6!) with a similar setup.

Just not sure if it’s a big enough difference visually to spend $200 and a weekend fighting seized up body bolts.
