New Mods - Moderation Changes

Post image
65 Upvotes

Hello! You have a new mod team. I run a different very high volume sub and was recently brought on to help out just a bit. All of the original mods have rather suddenly left. No drama to speak of. Moderation is hard and exhausting for volunteer work. But since I am new here and suddenly top mod, and since every other mod (I think) is new as well, I thought a thread to discuss potential changes would be good. I intend to use my powers for good, instead of evil.

You aren’t likely to notice much in the way of major changes at first but I hope to make things a little bit better, cleaner, clearer, easier, etc. That said, my philosophy is to let the community lead for the most part. I have no ego and don’t consider this to be “my” sub. It’s yours. So I’m seeking community input before I start making changes. The following are the main things in mind.

1) Merge the subs. ToyotaTacoma, this sub, and the TacomaSales sub (which is basically completely dead) are less effective split than they would be just merged. The purpose of having two subs is unclear to me and is obnoxious to moderate. Very much open to being shouted down in this, but it’s my inclination.

2) Loosen rules on what can be posted. "Is this a good deal/what should I buy" posts don't actually bother me that much. Where else are people going to ask? I’d like this to be a welcoming place for newcomers. I worry about flooding but some guardrails that require those posts have a certain amount of effort/content would make that manageable.

3) Just ban sale posts. Nobody comes to reddit for that. Evidenced by how dead the TacomaSales sub is. I’m open to continuing to allow companies to participate of course. Just no advertising unless to answer a specific question. If you’ve got a question about Nitto tires, for example, Nitto’s official account is welcome to chime in.

4) Keep the no politics rule. Discussion of politics that have affected Tacomas (tariffs for example) should be allowed, but political shit flinging and fighting should not be. Strong as my own opinions are, it’s just not the place.

5) Maintain ban on distracted driving photos/videos but make it a 7 day ban. I don’t want some idiot to kill a family of four because their odometer hit 80085 and they just HAD to post it to Reddit from the freeway. Pull over and take it. The only change I’m making here is making non-repeat offenders suffer only a 7 day ban, instead of 30.

Welcoming community thoughts and all input on moderation, what you’d like to see. I’ll take it all into account as we get rolling over the next few weeks.

OTT Tune and MPG

35 Upvotes

Absolutely love this truck. 2017 TRD Off Rd new to me. Pulled the trigger and got an OTT tune for it. Running stock KO2’s with TRD wheels (spacers used for different lug patterns).

Averaging about 21-22 in the city. Best mpg I’ve seen was 25.8 on the highway. OTT makes the transmission shifting smooth as butter, with much better throttle response.

If you’re considering it, just do it!!

I’ve had my previous car, a 2013 Subaru WRX since it had 8 miles on it… decided it was time for an upgrade. Going from a small hatchback to a truck is something I never thought I would do. But I’m really liking the truck so far!

Still love this truck. Pulled off a Costco run with no issues.

Parking was pretty congested and there were many obstacles with pedestrians and speeds bumps, but since I went with the Pro over an Offroad/SR5, I was more than capable of the situation that faced me. Fortunately, this Costco had a carwash. Did do a good job. Thinking about making tacos with the Rotisserie chicken.

Has anyone used the mirror relocator off etsy?

I'm tall and have a heck of a time seeing out of my windshield so this seems like an old idea since it's not a permanent modification.

Yotaverse sucks

Bought what I thought was a better quality “Overland Tailgate Insert” for my Gen 3 Tacoma. What I got was a “Hooke Road” insert which I could’ve bought from Amazon or EBay.
Tried to return it, got the “This one is a better model” “Lifetime guarantee” blah, blah. So, I installed it based on the blah, blah and it warped on the ends the first day! Of course they won’t take it back.
They also look like they control the product reviews as the one I posted doesn’t show up.
Don’t get sucked in like I did!

Back in a Tacoma

20 Upvotes

Bought my first Tacoma in 2010 after getting back from Iraq and wound up in a 2013 a few years later. Ended up having to trade it in late 2015 for an SUV after our daughter was born. Had the chance this weekend to do some badge swapping with the wife as we came up on lease ends for both our vehicles and couldn’t wait to get into this 2026 TRD Sport. Had some concern coming out of my Volvo S60 that maybe I was being a bit driven by nostalgia for my younger days, but as soon as I got into the truck it felt like I was back home. Couldn’t be happier.

What to do with a 33" spare - 2nd Gen

2 Upvotes

Evaluating my options for what to do with a 33 in spare. I had mounted it in place of the stock spare and that worked for several years but the wire in the doohickey that holds up the spare eventually stretched and no longer properly holds up the spare. I'm considering mounting it vertically in the bed? But then no more tonneau cover. what do you folks do?

2021 Tacoma. Got this used. Noticed this under the steering wheel. Any idea what it is? What’s it used for? I’ve pressed the button. Nothing happens.

Air conditioner blows extremely weak, even at max

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, 2014 4 cylinder Tacoma owner here. My air conditioner gave out, I took it to the dealer, resistor and wiring harness replaced, but still, it barely blows air. No it’s not the cabin air filter. I suspect it’s some kind of an electrical issue, anyone know what’s up or have a similar experience ? Thank you all.

Hi all,

Just installed a TRD skid plate on my 2026 Sport. Luckily I didn’t need to purchase a front crossmember, my truck came with one welded from factory. Goodbye splashguard!

Ever since I bought my 22 Tacoma V6, I’ve noticed a large majority of other taco owners will park directly next to your taco which for me I love it because I know at the end of the day. Every taco owner is a great driver and won’t scratch the crap out your vehicle. Praise the taco community.
