eBay. Just look for Tacoma bumper. Requires some modifications if you want the lower part to bolt on

Thumbs up

Installed a Sony XAV-AX210SXM receiver. Used a pre-made harness, the Metra dash kit (along with the mounting brackets from the factory unit), and some adapters for the antennas. All of it came from Crutchfield, and it couldn't have been easier. I also ran a 15' RCA male-to-female extension cable from the unit to the left rear panel where the jack is stored - this is for a backup camera that I don't have yet. While I had all of the plastic trim for the dash, console, and sills out, I cleaned them of all of the old dirt and coffee/sodas stains. Even painted the footrest by the parking brake because I just couldn't get it perfectly black by cleaning it.

I am extremely pleased with it so far. I'll add the backup camera soon, and then I'll consider adding the iDataLink Maestro RR.

New rotors and pads all around, new right rear caliper assembly and brake bleeding.

Can you share more details about your build? What projectors did you go with, and did you use the pre-made 4th gen projector brackets?

Would love to see output shots as well! Planning to do a retrofit once Lightwerkz has a sale.

Spark Plugs

Changed my spark plugs, at 238k. Cant even remember the last time I changed it. Old spark plugs tells you something about your engine.

So what did your spark plugs tell you about your engine?

Im not a mechanic by any means, i only know how to follow instructions from forums like this and video tutorials. One of the plugs was so loose that when i turn the ratchet, it took very little effort and show blow-by carbons on the entire plug.

i cant even remember the last time i changed them, so it reminds me from now on, to check them annually and adjust gap if necessary. And one of them was so stuck that i have run the engine to warm it up a little and use penetrating fluid and wait.

Replaced a frozen caliper and swapped to SS brake lines. Not sure if I just suck at bleeding (I followed the manual) but the brakes still don't feel incredible :/ Got all the air out of the lines as best as I can tell.

I just did all my brake lines and the rear inner hoses. I swapped the regular bleeders for speed bleeders knowing I would be bleeding them out without any help. Super easy and my brakes are mint. I would recommend giving them a try if you don't mind spending a little bit of money to simplify the process.

Yeah, I remember that I wanna install those every time I'm in the middle of a brake job lol. I will one of these days.

What procedure did you use to bleed? I had the key on for the rears and let it pump till no more bubbles, then key on for the fronts, with the typical pump and hold procedure. Then did the 40 pedal pumps while off, key to on, 20 pumps, key off. Which helped a lot last time I did it, but didn't this time.

Might go over to a friend's shop and have him bleed the brake booster with his fancy scan tool to get rid of any air that may be in it. Cuz there certainly isn't any in the lines that I could find.

I didn't do it per the manual as I did each brake line one at a time starting with the front 2 lines. Again starting with the fronts I bled them out with the key off. Because I had speed bleeders I cracked one side at a time and just pushed the pedal to the floor several times until a few ounces of fluid came out. tighten the bleeder and the fronts were done. (I then took the truck to lunch) no issues.


For the rears I did one side at a time as well. With the key on and bleeder cracked i pushed the pedal to the floor and held it there until I saw enough fluid come out (while looking in the side view mirror). I got out of the truck and closed the bleeder and did the same for the other side.

The pedal feels perfect. If you go back in this thread a few pages you will see my write up on this procedure. I include a couple tips which don't really help you now unfortunately.

While this may have worked for you, you should always start with the rear, furthest from the master cylinder. So rear passenger first and work your way closer, finishing with the front driver.

I get that. Which is why I stated I didn't do it by the manual so as not to confuse anyone else. Had I cut all the brake lines at once and/or not taken a great deal of caution not to introduce air into the ABS solonoids or master cylinder (shown in my write up) I would have started with the rears.

I had limited time and wanted to make sure I got the fronts done that day. Knowing the rears would be a pain I wanted to make sure I had time before getting started.

If for example I replaced front calipers I wouldn't bother bleeding the rears unless somehow I got air into a shared component somehow. Same idea here.

After completing the rear lines I bled them out. Had there been a need to rebleed the entire system I would have done R/R, L/R, R/F, L/F. But there was not.

I followed the bleeding instructions I found on this site but it took a couple times going around to each. I also made the ABS kick in on gravel which seemed to tighten them up. Lastly I bedded them, they are really good now.
