Painted the visible part of the tailpipe with 2 coats of high heat semigloss today at lunchtime. Added the rubber frame rail plugs after that.

Wife has a '22 RAV4 and now that I have the SR5, we both have fobs. Neither wants to carry 2 fobs, so I got Faraday pouches on Amazon. We each keep our spare in our vehicles and only carry the fob for our own. Wish I could have a "dumb" key like I had cut for my '12 Tacoma. Gave my son that...

USB C cord for wife's phone, two FRS/weather radios, pepper spray. My iPhone sits on the Magsafe charger, Raybans next to that.

This week I added: Red aluminum trim ring for push start/stop button Rough Country rear fender liners(directions not great but fit is good) Father's Day presents installed today: D-Lumina bed liner(Shipped rolled instead of folded, fits great after 20 minutes in the sun) Redline hood...

Between my wife and I, we've owned the following, in order: 1969 Buick Skylark V8 w/LSD 1978 Ford Fiesta 1975 Toyota Corolla 1977 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon 1984 Ford Escort 1985 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L 1982 Plymouth Gran Fury 1991 Mazda Protege 1990 Ford Taurus 1993 Ford Taurus 1992 Plymouth...

Installed my Zekzoop hood liner from Amazon on Friday afternoon. I noticed the turbo sound is now reduced. Only took 10 minutes to install. Much better deal than ~$300 for OEM.

We drove out to Mount Greylock in western Mass yesterday, 3 hours out on Route 2 and 3 hours back on Mass Pike. When I pulled into our driveway, showed 27.2 mpg for the 6 hours of driving.

Thanks! Installed my Zekzoop hood sound insulating mat this afternoon, took less than 10 minutes, fit perfectly. Got it Used-Like-New on Amazon for $43, looked like someone opened the box and decided not to do it. I'll take the 85% discount off OEM.

That looks great, do you have a model, link where you got it?

It's not in the works. This was debunked by the AP over 3 years ago. https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-402773429497

Bed mat please

The only mod I did was deciding to get the SR5 instead of the SR, and that was suggested by my wife after a test drive. 😁 I've added a few inexpensive things from Amazon: mudflaps, a magsafe wireless charger, a bed extender for my kayak, and a cheap tonneau, but nothing was actually modified.

I'm kind of surprised that the mileage is good. It has 4WD and weighs 1000 lbs more than my '12 Access Cab 4-cyl AT 2WD. It does have an 8 speed versus a 4 speed transmission, and I never feel it hunting for gears, so it must be pretty well programmed. Gave the '12 to my son last week...

Added the Rav4 volume knob, big improvement with the rubber texture and greater depth; glows at night, too. Funny thing is my wife's '22 RAV4 XLE does not have this knob, hers is more like the 8" Tacoma knob.

Installed a MaxxHaul bed extender at lunch today for kayak; $59 @ Amazon. Assembly was simple, only needed a 3/4" socket. Seems pretty stable, also got their hitch stabilizer for long trips. Going to zip tie foam pipe insulation to the cross piece. Note: the hitch pin that came from the...

They were $39 on Amazon, no drill. Fit well, and give decent coverage for stock SR5 tires.

Picked up a new 2025 Underground SR5 4WD 4-door on 4/9. So far I've: 1. Upgraded volume knob on my 8" screen to the RAV4 knob 2. Installed Zekzepp mudflaps 3. Installed Magsafe wireless iPhone charger 4. Installed Autosaver88 soft trifold tonneau cover today 5. Added 4-pack of headrest...

I've had a 2012 SR5 Access Cab 2WD 2.7L since 2014. I've loved the truck, only thing I've needed has been tires, brakes, a power steering pump, and an AC line. It now has 235K miles. Wife suggested we look at replacing it with 4-door, earlier than I would have because of the tariff...

Just bought a 2025 SR5 4WD last week, gave my 2012 SR5 2WD to my son. I collect Matchbox and Hot Wheels Toyota trucks, especially the Tacoma variants and the Toyota Off-Road Truck. I haven't seen the 2024 in stores yet. I've seen pics of 3 variants; a regular blister card, a short blister...
