First mods include: removing body vinyl stickers and factory TRD OFF RD decals (sun worn). Replaced the bed decals with black vinyl ones. Rough Country exhaust tip (while I wait for a DC Sports tip in the mail)…. Next upgrades will be upgraded sound system, and a hard cover for the bed :)

Brought a smile to my face.
The left boat removed very easily. The right one did not. That’s the liquid wrench hit it with a hammer nothing it was stripped, and I tried to use an anti-reverse screw remover.
I thought about cutting the bolt but then I don’t know how I would get the threads removed?
Any ideas or recommendations?
I'm not sure what the metal ring that was in the bag with the pin is for or where it goes. Any ideas?

I bought my 2022 Tacoma TRD OR in September of 2025 with about 31,000 miles. I got the platinum warranty when I purchased my truck. I’m at about 47,000 miles now and last night when I opened my tailgate, it dropped down hard and I found the passenger side bracket/bushing was fucked. No idea how it happened I had been opening and closing my tailgate throughout the day with no issue. I bought a new $5 bushing from Toyota hoping it was just that but after taking the tailgate off, the “C” shaped bracket on the passenger side is noticeably bent. Anyone have any experience with this and if warranty is likely to cover it? It sounds like I won’t be able to get an answer from the dealership until I can bring it in for them to look at which won’t be until Saturday at the earliest. Would like to order the parts sooner than later if it’s not likely they will cover it. Until then, I’ll drive around and have everyone thinking my tailgate got stolen 😂
This past Saturday I became the proud new owner of this ‘26 OR in Bronze oxide. Took it to get ceramic coated and tinted yesterday lol. I have been itching to buy a car since about October.
Was doing so much research and surfing through what feels like thousands of Reddit posts/ comments lol. I ultimately decided to go with this new Tacoma. Toyota has been in my family for many years and my last car was a 2002 4Runner SR5. An absolute gem that went to 227,400 miles. I know the new cars aren’t built like they used to, but hoping I can get a lot of out this one too.
I was going to pick the underground originally, but I negotiated the same deal on this one with the bigger screen. I also noticed that the underground was a lot dirtier than the oxide, so I figured maintenance would be easier on this. Glad I chose it because the guy who did my ceramic coat said that underground sucks with rock chips and such and the paint correction is a hassle.
Anyway, glad to be apart of the community and if you guys have recommendation on things like; all weather liners, leather seats (was looking at Katzkin but damn $), and nice black rims/wheels. I want the blacked out look lol. I’d appreciate it.
Needle bearing to ECGS bushing swap on second gen. I haven’t got it back on the road yet but anticipate a smoother ride. I have around a three inch lift and tired of the groan and vibe. It seemed like good timing because I had to replace my LCA’s. We will see!
Hey friends! can anyone help me understand my insurance situation better? Yesterday a car collided with my front end while it was being chased by a few cops. I'm waiting on the police report, so i don't know anything about the driver. the damage to my truck is superficial, scratches and dents to the drivers side front end and bumper, with a chunk missing from the front aluminum rim. i reported it to cops, then called my insurance. my adjuster said that if the damage to the vehicle is over 80% of $7k, the truck would be considered a total loss and the title would be salvage. I'm shocked. i have a 2014 trd pro extended cab, excellent condition, just did my 100k mile tune up and currently at 100,800 miles. am i insane to think the truck is worth more than $7k? **I'm not asking what my truck is worth, I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with insurance who may know more about the process**
2025 Taco TRD Off-Road. Thinking about getting a lift. Nothing crazy. I like to do some beginner/moderate off-roading in Southern California. New to the lift kit world. What lifts do ya’ll have on your truck? Are you happy with it or regret it?
I am under contract to buy a 2023 Tacoma SR v6 4WD and am currently in the 7 day diligence period.
Upon receiving the car, I realized the front is raised a couple inches. This was not in the description or noticeable in pictures. Friends and family didn’t notice /say it’s subtle.
I’m wondering if anyone recognizes which spacer is used here (top hat or coil spring spacer) and is there any reason for concern purchasing a truck with this installed?
My driving will be 99% city/highway and 1% soft North Carolina beaches. I don’t plan to do much heavy duty off-roading other than occasional dirt road.
Car drives great so far and I like virtually everything about it.
I installed a 5100 lift this weekend and last weekend I read it should take around 5 hours. I figured I could do it in 8 hours. It took me and my buddy 16 hours between Saturday and Sunday.
Maybe if I did it again I could knock off 3 hours and maybe another 2 if we didn't run into the stuck bolt but I don't live in a place with lots of oxidation so I'd think that's pretty common.
Has anyone actually done it in 5 hours working on jack stands in the drive way?
2021 DCLB TRD OR 4X4 - In Roman mythology, Silvia is the goddess of the forest. Plus I had to stick to my trend of old lady names.
Spent the day working on polishing and ceramic coating. The midnight black looks amazing in the sun with its blue hue.
Found an imported bed cap on marketplace. Fits well, relatively water tight and already assembled. No idea on brand or model, especially seeing that a majority of the import caps have exposed hinges.
I recently removed the passenger seat in my 4th gen tacoma for a goofy project in mind, but everywhere I drive the seatbelt beeping won’t stop bothering me for like 3mins till it sounds asleep. Only option i got is to blast music max volume. Any other options out there?
