    How would you mod the 2016 Tacoma?

    Looks better than my 14'. Maybe the tailgate is stronger. The POS gate on mine sucks. Also hope they come with a Compass and Outside Thermometer....that would be a step forward, and while they're at it how about headlights that turn on by themselves that would be an improvement too. I didn't...

    L4 vrs V-6 Real World MPG

    Stock suspension, and tires. Truck only has about 2000 miles on it, hoping it gets a couple per gal better with time. I drive very light-footed, as far as acceleration goes as well. .

    2014 Tacoma Outside Temperature Gauge?

    Thanks......."Big Brother is watching us" ehh! That's the first time I heard of the "Black Box" theory....sounds reasonable to me. Thanks for the explanation.

    17" Wheel Options (specs)

    I called Discount Tire today. They told me that the OEM wheels are: +30 offset and 4.49" back spacing.....do these dimensions sound correct? Also said that can go to a -12 with stock tire size. If I'm correct that would be about 1 5/8" further outboard than stock.......am I on track?

    17" Wheel Options (specs)

    Looking to get different 17" wheels for the summer use. Confused on what I need as far as + or - off/set and that type of specs. Fitment for non-lifted 2014 TRD 4wd.

    2014 Tacoma Outside Temperature Gauge?

    I don't see the value in the "Entune" package at all. Give me an AM, FM, CD player along with a Compass/Temp/Auto Dim mirror ......I don't have a Smart Phone so the new "superior radio head" is useless to me. $650 must take option on my Sport is disappointing.

    2014 Tacoma Outside Temperature Gauge?

    Just Plain-Jane mirror, no frills. I believe that only the "Limited" comes with a multi-functional mirror.

    2014 Tacoma Outside Temperature Gauge?

    I was offered a $200 refundable after proof of purchase of OEM Toyota parts or service. Customer Service Rep said this is not a blanket good-will offer for all 2014 Tacoma buyers. (also noted that the original 2014 brochures) have been removed from the dealerships and a new "corrected brochure"...

    Replacement Headlight Bulbs

    Anybody try the Philips Extreme Power 60/55's. If so are they a brighter OEM type light (meaning not the blue tint...ie: fake HID look) ? Does the Sylvania ZXE have the blue tint? (not looking for a tint )

    Ocassional Extra Weight in Box...best way to deal with it?

    If I go with the Firestone Ride Rite Kit.....is it a good idea to add the Daystar Airbag cradle kit as well. Or can the Access Cab Tacoma be frame lifted without tearing the airbags?

    Ocassional Extra Weight in Box...best way to deal with it?

    No thanks, the Summit will fit between the wheel wells. I'd rather keep the center of gravity a low as possible. I'll bet that sled deck makes a Taco rock and roll. That Yamaha is probably shorter than my 146", and heavier too.

    tailgate cables or attachment posts mod question

    I'm not a thief, but if I tried to steal a tailgate and failed, I'd probably kick it and leave a big dent in it. Not sure if you can really out smart some looser trying to fiddle with your stuff.

    Ocassional Extra Weight in Box...best way to deal with it?

    Ok, still asking stupid questions concerning my 1st Tacoma. I really like the ride of my 2014 TRD Sport 4x4. That being said, on occasion I will be loading my 2012 SkiDoo summit X in the box for 200 miles drives from time to time. Realistically, 3-4 times each winter. The sled loaded with fuel...

    Replacement Headlight Bulbs

    Thanks H4 9003 dual filament (hi/low in one bulb) correct? The light output of this Tacoma seems less than half of what my 2008 Silverado had with OEM bulbs. Also noticed that the housing must reflect the beam with a straight line across the top of the projection (kind of a circle with the...

    Replacement Headlight Bulbs

    Did a search but found nothing???? Also went to several online stores and I keep getting a "no products found" when entering 2014 Tacoma. Anyway I want to replace my headlight bulbs on my 2014 Tacoma TRD with a brighter non-tinted bulb. 60/55w is what I think is stock. At TW, Philips Extreme...

    Anytime fogs mod

    Trying to do this on my 2014. I know about the Fog relay terminal having to be bent out and up to connect on side of the wiring to. Problem I'm having is finding the "best" switch-on HOT power source to connect the other side to. No heated seats in my TRD so it looks like I may not be able to...
