What did you do to your yota today?

There's pigtails available for various vehicles that bypass the auto start/stop. Dunno about that one, but something will work.

Did rear shoes and an oil change, shoes were paper thin. Front pads were damn near new, so now I have a spare set..🙄

On the plus side, e-brake works now :homer:
 
Oil change yesterday. Too many miles on the oil, came out smelling like its fuel washed or whatever you call it.
 
WeatherTech floor mats in the regular cab to match the other Tacomas. :flipoff2:
 
I am continuing to do stupid things with the 1UZ vvti that I bought. Built an adapter to mate the left hand drive chain drive tcase to the Lexus a650 auto. Tcase is clocked at 10 degrees. If my rig is drivable when this is all said and done I will be just as shocked as the rest of you.

Added a 5th gen to the fleet. 2016 with 54k on the odo. 2wd sr5 nice but basic.
I'm retiring the gold third gen, I can drive this one across the desert, Launch my boat, and generally wear it out, Save my 2500hd Duramax for tow duties.

The gold third gen is 310k and showing age, not doing 500mile round trip Az in it, and 250 a week to visit mom. (In the rest home)

Bought a replacement for my 2wd 3rd gen.

And immediately pulled the decorative aluminum steps off of it. I'll add spacers to the front to level it, and change out the crappy white fog lights with some ambers. and call it a day.

This might be too much fab for this site but I'll take a chance:laughing::laughing::laughing:
 
Had these seats for 29 years. Originally out of a 1st Gen 4Runner. This marks the 5th truck I have installed them in during that time. Only took a minor amount of adapting to work. Console will be fitted tomorrow.

Mounted up a plug for trailer lights. Got it mostly wired, has running lights and signals/flashers but need to run a wire for the brake lights.
 
Anybody run these things before? Been eyeballing sxs tires, but these things popped up.

I have not but I plan on trying a set when I buy new tires for my slow motion build.
 
My buddy has had a set on his ram charger for a few years and likes them. I have a set on my Tacoma but I’ve barely got 100yds on them.
 
I know a guy with 40’sand he ain’t skerred. He’s had the. For at least a few years and seems like they’re holding up.
 
Bummer! You OK?
I'm good, very slow roll. My dumbass stuck my arm out, but sucked it in at the last min and I realized WTF I was doing. Wheeled the rest of the day and drove the truck a couple hours home. The nut kicker was no glass was broken in the roll, besides the windshield, then I broke out the extra cab window on a tree 10ft from where I flopped it.
