the bed extender must be a freaking joke!!!
I really hope so…
That Bed Extender was done by someone living waaay back in the holler', lol
Maybe paint your company logo on it to gain more customers OR rent out advertising space on it to a company to make the monthly truck payment, LMFAO!!
Some of the shit people do amazes me.....sometimes, lol
"Really good looking" 😂
This looks like narcan had a child with a lowes lumber yard in alabama
That’s what I was thinking 🤣🤣🤣
If you're having coolant slowly leaking from your system and have to refill once in a while, there is a pipe running under the air intake that is plastic and leaks. $30.00 upgrade part can be purchased from the Toyota Dealership and you can install it as the most essential upgrade to these series of trucks. Going strong for over 200,000 miles now and no payments for over 5 years. Here is to not buying a new truck for another 5 years.
Thanks man! You got the part # or name?
@@joshwandering just saw this. I don't but it's a Tacoma coolant bypass hose.
Indeed on the no more payments for 15 years and going strong at 265k miles!
This shit happening on my first gen
Hood struts suck. Never had a vehicle that had them that they didn't wear out and become a pain in the ass.
Great video thank you!!!
I’ve got those same tail lights and the headlights with them I’ve got after market racing rims too now I’m trying to lift it about 4 inches and put bigger tires on it and paint it all black I’ve got it straight piped as well cause I mean it should sound good too if it’s gonna look good
thank you !
Bed stiffeners 200$
Fluid film your frame - priceless
I have those same taillights it’s amazing
Some things missed that I did to my 2005 TRD Sport 4x4.
Locking bed storage box
Power tailgate lock (did that at the same time as the backup camera.
Ditched the factor stereo for a nice touchscreen,
Ditched the horrible stock speakers for components
Added a kicker Hideaway sub
Locking lug nuts
And soon, sound insulation on the doors.
Also replaced the sock shifter(was really sloppy) and knob(was loose)
Added a short shift kit.
Imma do this to mine thanks for the ideas bro
How much did it all add up to?
I like the hood struts, bed mods would be led lights and probably 12 volts plug, heated mirrors would be a must, all my previous cars had heated mirrors, here in the Quebec Laurentians, it's a must, that is the reason why I won't go LED headlights, I need the heat to keep the snow/ice out....I would love a lift kit and 35 inches tires, but by doing so I compromise the towing capacity, and I need that, more than the looks of the lift kit and the fun of the 35 inches tires....
Heated mirrors are a must. I was driving a Gmc savanna cube van from Quebec City back to Ottawa the day after a decent storm. I went through about 2 jugs of washer fluid, and it was running off onto the non heated mirrors and froze. Couldn’t see shit behind me.
Hers is an update of my mods: hood struts, bed lights with 12 volts plug, retractable aluminium tonneau cover with lock, tailgate electric lock, high powered led backup lights, 32 inches tires (LT 275/70-17 no lift), trailer hitch 2" with 7 pins trailer connector, a radio that accepts about anything, CD-DVD-USB and cell phone bluetooth control, still shopping for electric mirrors, side steps.
Do they possibly sell any black side door panels
I got tinted headlights and it sucks lol but I have light pods for my dog lights so it’s not that bad but I’m getting leds
Wheel spacers?
OMG! The bed mat is a nice upgrade if you crawl around in the bed, saves the knees. The rest are rinky dink.
That bed mat will add 35 pounds to carry around. Is it worth it?
@@Yoglawm yes bed mats are life
@@Yoglawm if 35lbs is that critical then you may as well go on a diet too, even if your not fat 5 lbs would make a huge difference...........! ?
@@jimenagulla9081 I don't understand check your grammar please
@@Yoglawm hes saying you’re being dramatic about a truck having 35 pounds extra pounds in the bed lol.
We lifted my Tacoma and it looks nice
i’ve thought about doing the same to mine.
180 dollars for tail lights is good. I got mine for 148 and got them delivered on Ca Auto
Going to look at a 2011 access cab Thursday. Four cylinder model. Has the SR5 package and only 64K miles. Hope it goes well.
It'll be my 3rd Toyota, my first non Ford truck.
How did it go?
Lmao. Welcome to the world of truck reliability
Shoulda got the 4L V6
@@johnwicksfoknpencil yeah, this one looks like new, and only 66k miles.
I have two dirt bikes when I play off-road. Great gas mileage, and it drives like a little sports car.
You can also get a blacked out 3rd middle brake light for like 30 buks
The picture of the truck at 3:11👌🏻
Wood for extension on my tale get huum I don’t think so that will look ghetto 😂😳🙈
Sometimes function and cost trumps looks!
😂🤣
Make one out of PVC pipe or copper pipe. Mount just inside the sidewalls with a single bolt on each side so the extender can rotate inside the bed when tailgate is up.
Planning on getting a 2015 TSS edition
Fog light anytime mod better be on here
WOW!! those are the coolest modification I ever saw! I'm doing all of them to my truck. Especially the tailgate extender, so cool!!
I am going to do the same. One mod that I will do, is make it so it folds and can be stored flat. Makes it more portable and can be set up in a flash
Love the sarcasm
lol i legit have all of these practically
You should do one on a 1st gen tundra
did you ever do a viideo for the 2005 toyota tundra?
Not yet, but it should be on our list for the future!
Can anyone recommend a radio? I put one with a screen in about 10 years ago, it seems dated. I put in cruise control, intermittent wipers, bed extender, towing kit and bed lock, bed extender most useful and I use it closed more than open to keep items from flying. With the extender, I put rollers on a piece of wood that is only seen when extended, I put the two boards for hauling plywood, and put a board in the middle so it slides on properly, I use it often. I bought chrome wheel covers that most people think are wheels, on Amazon, about 70.
For my stereo, I installed a Jensen CAR710W. The screen looks great, it has wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, and it was easy to install. Got it from Crutchfield
I know it's an old post but take a look at Crutchfields offerings, I love my Jensen 710x from them, and they sell everything you need to make a radio fit in your dash, wiring, etc 😅
Anyone know if 2nd Gen Tacoma from 2012-2015 ever came out with with Factory Rear Diff Lockers on the white long bed? I know the 2nd Gen taco from those year came in with the factory lockers on the short bed on most color but I can’t seem to find it that they did in the white long bed. Tia!
As far as I know the locker only came on the TRD Offroad, and the Offroad did not come in the double cab long bed version, so if you want a 4 door long bed you have to buy a TRD Sport or an SR5, neither will have a factory locker in any configuration. This is what I have gathered in my research.
Where did you get the projector headlights?
Projectors for 180 bucks? Yeah right, if they did cost that little guaranteed to leak
@@jimenagulla9081 I actually purchased a set through Wal-Mart.com that've been on my '08 Taco over a year and are great. The cost was $168 & change
Would be nice if you post. Where to get the parts. That you post … I been trying to get the part for the headed mirror. For a while. …
First link in the description is the link to our post that has all the links to the products we mentioned.
The link to the projector headlights doesn't work? Can you provide updated link?
Hey! I will have our web guy update the article, for now, since CZcams doesn't like links, just search for "ACANII - For 2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma LED DRL Halo Ring Smoked Lens Projector Headlights Headlamps," and you should find them.
Why tf are you spray painting the bloody chrome
Where do I get a 12v bed plug. I sleep in my truck and need this desperately
It is something that you can make with some simple parts. It's worth doing if you would use it a lot.
Do NOT put it where the second level 2x6 goes (where it is pictured in the video). This pocket allows you to load a 4x8 sheet of plywood/drywall in the Tacoma's bed. A better place to mount a 12V outlet would be inside one of the covered storage bins in the back of the bed.
puddle lights connected to dome circuit
How about 2016 TRD off-road?
thats a 3rd gen.
Sux
No links ❓
"Because you can does not mean you should".
Genghis Khan C 1220😂
Links to parts listed would be helpful
You can find the original article in the description. It will have all the links to the parts!
I need to get rid of my 3rd gen and get into a 2nd gen. Anybody want to take over my lease? Lol
Nope, I like my 4.0 just fine .....
2009 avail?
Bed mat, save money and buy a commercial grade restaurant mat, 35-40 bucks, cut it to fit 😎 had mine for 3 years now, way easier to move if need be than the thick expensive one
Why would you get silly with the bed extenders and the 12 volt outlets ? I was actually listening until you started with that bs.
I can tell you why. People build the bed extensions so that they can utilize a 6 foot camper top for camping. It's a way to have the short bed, but to be able to camp with a 6 foot camper top. Yes, this is a thing
Nothing says 1988 like a brush guard, May as well throw some KC daylighters on it......:(
Don't forget about the Van Halen tape in the deck!
@3:08 The brush guard looks nice on that truck. I guess it depends on the style of the guard and the look your going for that'll pull it together. KC lights are kinda redneck looking but if your taking your truck offroad and live in the boonies I guess they make sense.
Save your money and don't go cheap
Tailgate extender must be a joke.
Please for the love of the god, don’t do a single thing he said. Absolute trash mods
They’re deadass just updated lights, a bed mat, paint, and a bumper. What’s so trash about that?
Mark Paugh Mark Paugh would you like me to start with the “bed extender for 50$”? Or the piss poor example on how to paint ones badges? .. colored matched ones are online for the same price as a can of spray paint..
I've done some of these mods, regret it.
Usual Suspect Inc bro can you do a vid on your taco it looks fire
@@rybrowning88 seeing how you said "don't do a single thing he said" why not update the lighting? interior as well as exterior?
Those aftermarket headlights are trash. Why make a yota look like a ford?
The projectors in those headlights are trash!
I don’t think a single one of these was Tacoma specific. A bunch of common things people do to any vehicle.
Smfh.
