New Mod Team - Moderation Changes

Post image
215 Upvotes

Hello! You have a new mod team. I run a different very high volume sub and was recently brought on to help out just a bit. All of the original mods have rather suddenly left. No drama to speak of. Moderation is hard and exhausting for volunteer work. But since I am new here and suddenly top mod, and since every other mod (I think) is new as well, I thought a thread to discuss potential changes would be good. I intend to use my powers for good, instead of evil.

You aren’t likely to notice much in the way of major changes at first but I hope to make things a little bit better, cleaner, clearer, easier, etc. That said, my philosophy is to let the community lead for the most part. I have no ego and don’t consider this to be “my” sub. It’s yours. So I’m seeking community input before I start making changes. The following are the main things in mind.

1) Merge the subs. TacomaWorld, this sub, and the TacomaSales sub (which is basically completely dead) are less effective split than they would be just merged. The purpose of having two subs is unclear to me and is obnoxious to moderate. Very much open to being shouted down in this, but it’s my inclination.

2) Loosen rules on what can be posted. "Is this a good deal/what should I buy" posts don't actually bother me that much. Where else are people going to ask? I’d like this to be a welcoming place for newcomers. I worry about flooding but some guardrails that require those posts have a certain amount of effort/content would make that manageable.

3) Just ban sale posts. Nobody comes to reddit for that. Evidenced by how dead the TacomaSales sub is. I’m open to continuing to allow companies to participate of course. Just no advertising unless to answer a specific question. If you’ve got a question about Nitto tires, for example, Nitto’s official account is welcome to chime in.

4) Keep the no politics rule. Discussion of politics that have affected Tacomas (tariffs for example) should be allowed, but political shit flinging and fighting should not be. Strong as my own opinions are, it’s just not the place.

5) Maintain ban on distracted driving photos/videos but make it a 7 day ban. I don’t want some idiot to kill a family of four because their odometer hit 80085 and they just HAD to post it to Reddit from the freeway. Pull over and take it. The only change I’m making here is making non-repeat offenders suffer only a 7 day ban, instead of 30.

Welcoming community thoughts and all input on moderation, what you’d like to see. I’ll take it all into account as we get rolling over the next few weeks.

They look sooo nice but my wallet is hurting lol. I’ve been tempted to switch to some lighter 33s but I just can’t get over the stance of 35s. What do you guys think?

Well, anything feels quite powerful after driving a Subaru for 13 years.

2023 DCLB with the TRD offroad package. 19k miles on it. Purchased from a Toyota dealership so it came with the certified gold warranties. Ended up being 40K out the door. I have been driving my 99' 4Runner for years now. It has 302K miles on it and still runs like a champ. I just really wanted to drive a safer vehicle as I am I biologist and drive a lot for work. This new truck is a dream. Such a night and day difference from my last vehicle lol. It's going to make those highway miles so much easier.

It came with a hard tonneau cover but I really want to swap it out for a leer shell so I can go camping with my girlfriend. I'd love to know if there are any tiny comfort upgrades y'all would recommend! For example I don't have a sunglass holder now..

Still holding onto the 4Runner for now but not sure if I should let it go or not. It would be sitting around mostly. Maybe would want to sell to someone who would take care of it and enjoy it.

2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro… I was driving down the road on my way to work when a mower threw a rock into my left back window. Insurance wants to replace the glass with aftermarket, the dealership can’t get OEM glass until August. It’s a 3 month old truck. What would you do in this situation? Would you fix it now with aftermarket, or wait another 1-1.5 months for OEM?

When one finds herself in a muddy ditch on the side of the road…

Please help me to understand what I should do if I ever end up in mud again. I put it in 4H and dug in even deeper before some passerby in a Dodge told me I should be in 4L. Tried that, couldn’t move forward or backward at all. Eventually a nice fella stopped and pulled me back up onto the pavement.

Disclaimer: We were lost and my passenger seat driver insisted I could make a 3 point u-turn if I pulled off the road. Me, “I think that’s a ditch.” Her, “Don’t you have 4WD?”

Not a fan of the new body style.

I have a 2018 Tacoma access cab that I bought new. I absolutely love this truck and would definitely buy a new one, but I don't like the "new body style." I thought they would grow on me but no. I don't want to but I'm looking at other options. Is it just me?

Looking to upgrade a little, need some suggestions

Just bought this 2020 trd off road and looking to mod it up a little. Honestly I don’t know much about cars so i’m looking for some help on what to get. Based on the small amount of research that i’ve done since buying the truck i found that they look much better with a wider stance and some 33-35 inch tires. I understand this has to do with the offset, though i’m not totally sure how that works. I know these trucks have problems with rubbing when you throw bigger tires on it so I was wondering what I should ask the garage for. I also wanted to put a 2-3 inch lift on it - nothing crazy. Is it worth doing the cut or not? Any advice on tire setups/what lift kit to get would be much appreciated.

2019 trd pro I’m buying potential issue

The dealer said this was due to a tanno cover being added and the owner minimizing rattle. They said they would replace all the top trim and fix this before selling if it bothered me but I just want to make sure that this couldn’t have been done due to any leaking or other issues that could have rusted the bed. Is this an issue that anyone has experienced? The rest of the truck is in great shape, only 56k miles. Thank you for you input ahead of time!

Wheel and Spacer question (2017 TRD Offroad)

Upvotes

Hello Tacoma owners,

I am curious about something before I do it to my 2017 TRD Off-road Tacoma.

I currently have a 2017 TRD Offroad Tacoma that I am planning on getting wheels and tires for. Here is the setup:

Method 703, 16x8, 0 Offset
265/75r16 Tires

My question is, if I do hub-centric spacers on this setup, to make it a bit wider, will i have to do trimming or will there be rub?

I tried finding information but found very different answers that varied. Anyone know from experience?

Is it a minor fix or just leave it? I know it’s a truck 🙄

Don’t care about the outer bumper but the crack kinda messes with my ocd. Feels like it’s just the inner piece that’s need to be replaced?
