Definitely getting those turn signals. Just got a 22 TRD Off-Road and have already started modding it, so those will go very nicely with what I have done and will be doing. Tonneau cover and put in led's in headlights and foglights were the first mods. I do want to change out my shift knob for something a little heavier. Looking at side steps as well. Keep up the good work on the videos!

Chloe your gnarly! Thanks for getting me started on the mods. Both my wife and I have Tacos and began the journey of mods. I’m digging the turn signals for sure. I’m pretty sure that will be one of many more light upgrades. Just got in the MESO taillight upgrades and the license place light eliminator too. Will tackle those this weekend. Again thanks for the ideas!

Fuel injection cleaner is a must. I had a Tahoe that kept stalling. I took it to the dealership, paid 700$ drove around the corner and the car stalled. I was right by a gas station and saw Techron FIC and poured it in. Two more stalls and then magic. Nothing for the next years. Use this once every 3 months and your car will thank you !!!

I hope this doesn't come across as a dumb question but, I recently became a Tacoma owner after driving a 2000 Toyota Tundra for the past 21 years. I was pretty much forced to trade it in on the Tacoma. Rust of the frame became an issue that I was unwilling to put any more money into the old girl. I have watched several of your recent videos and I am qurious as to what the meaning of "3rd Gen Tacoma" means. The Tacoma that I bought is a 2018 Tacoma SR5 Access Cab so is it "3rd Gen"? So far I am liking it a lot as it is about the same size as the old Tundra I had. My only complaint is all the new idiot lights that weren't on the Tundra. I am liking the improved gas milage though with the V-6 engine and 7 speed transmission. I may have to get some of the bed tie-downs you showed in this video I like them. Just wish I had seen this before I went to the Toyota dealer to get the OEM tie-downs.

@ChloeKuo 2 жыл бұрын

Congrats on your new Tacoma! This is by no means a dumb question, especially if you're new to owning one... there are currently 3 generations of Tacoma: - Gen 1: 95-04 - Gen 2: 05-15 - Gen 3: 16+ So your 18 falls under gen 3, the latest generation. Each new generation was marked with "big" redesigns, including different engine options, body style, transmission options, etc. Most of the mods I show on my channel on my own 3rd gen will be compatible with other 3rd gens as well. Hope this helps!
