Toyota Tacoma

Super bright LED reverse bulbs installed. TACO MODZ.

I've been meaning to do the same thing. Can't see shit.

The ones I got are a brand called LASFIT. Like $20, well-reviewed on Amazon.

I don't do stickers and such. Did enough of that when I had my "LOTR" plate on the A4. Now I just prefer not acquiring attention (yeah, I know, my last Taco was bright-ass red ).

Edit: Also very happy with Fluid Film so far. It's holding up well.

Does the tonneau cover keep all water out, or just 99% of it?

All of it. I've never noticed a leak, even after a wash. Only place where it could leak in would be at the tailgate where it shuts against it, but even that has a nice flappy gasket. And if it does leak at that spot, it's just going to drip right out at the tailgate anyways.

Fuckin love having it in the winter. Don't have to shovel the bed out (apartment life, she's parked outside) and the cover means the bed just becomes a giant trunk of usable space not exposed to the elements. My two 5-gal sand buckets (140lbs of winter traction), a couple shovels, and my window scraper/brush stay nice and clean/dry.

Alright. Super-duper huge complaint.

Heading downstate to see family. It's snowing moderately...wet sticky stuff. About 10 miles on the highway and my cruise shuts off and beeps at me because the radar sensor (the Toyota badge in the grille) is caked with snow and can't see.

Fine. I don't need adaptive cruise, there's zero traffic anyway. But can I just use cruise anyways and not have radar?  NOPE.

God I fucking hate technology.  It would cost them like $6 to wire a temp sensor and a little heating element to prevent slush/ice buildup on the sensor.

Pretty sure you can.  You need to turn off the adaptive part of the cruise control, then you should be able to use it?  Usually you swap between them by holding the cancel button for a couple of seconds.  It's something like that.

Press/hold the button that turns cruise on/off and it switches modes.

I am no longer super-duper complainy.

[CaminoRacer]

You'd think it would just switch to non-radar mode when it beeps at you

That's what I figured.  Beep at me, show the warning message, keep the radar-not-on dummy light lit on the dash lit, and keep on truckin.

You used to be able to disable the radar cruise in Toyoters. Is that gone now?

Toyota is great at these stupid "hidden" control features.

Finally got around to changing the oil and filters, and taking one pic.

[CaminoRacer]

Don't see too many single cab Tundras like that.

Muscular but short and stubby. Gymnast truck? Or a bulldog

Damn it, I just realized this is the Tacoma thread

I don't like getting my truck dirty. Then I have to wash it.

That's what I'm doing today. Just hit 10k miles last week, so she's due for an oil change and tire rotation. So I'll kill a few birds and get stoned once. Gonna do a wheels-off wash while it's up on the jackstands so I can really give it a good rinse underneath.

I could have the dealership do it for free, but I called them and they can't get it in 'til the end of August...it'll be at like 12k by then as I have a few camping trips coming up. So, I'll just do it myself.
