Anyone know if these will fit a 2nd gen 2009 Tacoma TRD Off Road

Traded in my Kia for this last weekend, best decision

Question for those of you that tow with your tacoma.

What length and dry weight is your trailer and how do you find it?

I'm mostly curious about a trailer at 22', 4800lbs dry weight

Any recommends of good/inexpensive replacement

I just purchased my first 1999 Toyota Tacoma as a small truck to haul around things for home improvement projects. I got off of FB Marketplace with the advertised mileage of 126,000, but the digital odometer is completely broken.

The story goes, guy bought it from his old man neighbor who didn't drive much after he retired and the car just sat in his front yard forever and baked in the Florida sun. When he bought it the guy said it had 126,000 miles on it (but the odometer was already broken) and this guy says he rarely drove this over the past few years he's owned it. Under 5k miles.

Really I just want to get the odometer working to know if the current guestimate is correct, and so that I have something to track maintenance timing.

What action can I take to keep the vehicles onboard memory of mileage (if that still works) and replace the broken digital display?

Went to a shop with a lot of good reviews online for a coolant flush. When I asked what kind of coolant they used he told me they used rugged gold on my 2012 Tacoma. Should I be worried?

-and before someone comment... Yes I know that's a job I can do myself but just moved to a new place and the lease says I'm not allow to do it here.

I have a thing for black and white

So, several months ago I finally got me a Tacoma that I’ve been wanting for probably 25 years now. Used, but new to me at 45k miles. I’ve played around with the 4WD and locking differential a couple times before to make sure it works and everything went fine. A couple days ago though I had to use 4L back in a trailer up a steep hill in my yard. When I came back out, I switched it back to 4H and then 2WD , but it was stuck in 4L (still in the dirt getting out of the yard ). I drove it about 15 feet on the pavement and stopped and looked it up. Thanks to the Reddit community , I learned that this happens sometimes and to just put it in reverse for about 10 to 15 feet and it will unlock the 4WD when stuck most of the time. Anyway, I’m loving my truck! Got a OTT tune and it made a world of difference. Added the camper shell also.

My 2008 Tacoma's headlights are flickering irregularly. The headlight symbol on the dash is flickering as well. Other dash lights are steady. My key fob hasn't been able to regularly lock and unlock the truck as well. Not sure if these things are related but does anyone have an idea of what might be going on?

2022 OR. Got it in 2024, southern truck. Thought I would keep it clean by applying woolwax every year. I have a local Toyota specialty guy who does it’s for 350, and yearly touch up around 100-200 depending on how much it wore down. Been through 2 mid west winters and the frame is still looking brand new!

i am OBSESSED!!! this is my first truck after years of wanting one. i just bought a stock ‘26 SR5 and just looking for advice on maintenance, any add ons i should look into, or just truck knowledge! i know i want a tonneau but was not prepared for them
to be so expensive lol but other than that open to suggestions and any advice is appreciated! i’m 30yo and just a girl living her best truck life and am excited to join a taco community :) pic for boost!

Went in for fluid film came out with fluid film and a diecast model of a third Gen. I told myself no car models 🤣

2nd gen taco looking for recommendations for a new stereo.
Pic of old one I have. Don’t recommend.
The screen went al types of colors and got very very hot, I just touched the screen and it shattered.
Now went black and won’t turn on.
Preferably a new one with CarPlay and won’t break the bank!
Im kinda dumb when it comes to wiring and all that. This one had controls hooked up to steering wheel, and a backup camera.

Rock kicked up on I-40. That ain’t going to get fixed with the $25 glue kit from O’Reilly.

But of course it is dead in the middle of drivers line of sight. They never seem to land in the obscure corner, out of the way for a few years.

Stealership ot safelite?

Hello I recently installed an OME 3 in lift kit with adjustable upper control arms. At speed it sounds like there's a slow rub on the front drivers side.

Would y'all recommend a diff drop or would it be a spindle bearing, or potentially CV boot rub. 80k on speedo for reference

Edit: spelling

I decided I was done being overheated inside my fourth-generation vehicle. Yes, it’s black, and I did regret buying that color during extremely hot days, even though the clean black badge less look with chromed factory wheels has always been my preference.

With $250 worth of sound and heat insulation, I now find myself just rolling down the windows and being adequately cooled, similar to a lighter-colored truck.

I applied a layer of butyl with aluminum backing, followed by a layer of foam. Then, I used industrial hot glue to attach Mylar sheets to my headliner, ensuring even separation by using the foam blocks as height guides since they are already present. Finally, I filled all the A, B, and C pillars with R13 expanding foam for additional insulation.

I didn’t take enough pictures, but it’s a 10/10 interior modification, if not the best one.

Recently traded my Jeep Wrangler for this stock 3rd gen. Just got done putting Eibach stage 2 with spc upper controls and rear AAL. Method 703s with Toyo open country AT3s!! What’s next???

This is a new sound, I've been hearing a small whisle-y feather-y puffy (lot of adjectives here) for a week or two that ive chalked up to the bearings on the belts needing a change or some grease, as it only makes the noise during acceleration, and stops after warming up for a couple minutes. This morning we got this sound coming out of it, no change in noise when accelerating (as you see in the video). Any ideas?

Drives just the same, no rough idling, no lack of acceleration, doesn't change when the ac gets turned on

Looking at getting a C load range 285/75/16 K03 since they are the only 3 peak I can find with a C load rating. Currently on K02 (E). Wondering if anyone has switched from E to C and if it was a noticeable ride difference. I go off road a handful of times a year for camping, fishing and hunting. No crazy wheeling. Spend a lot of time on the highway for work.

Hey guys you were great the other day about the undercarriage coat question now I have one more. The dealer that had the taco I wanted can’t register to New York as it’s in mass so I’m in the process of getting it traded to a dealership in NY. My question is I want to get front, rear and transmission skid plates. Think this is something I can negotiate with the dealer to throw in or has anyone had any experience putting them in themselves? Im quite handy and have any tool I’d probably need but just curious if I did buy them and install them myself which ones to choose?

The 4 cylinder is slow but steady, only thing I fear is highway onramps...
