And if Ur talking about the 'Magnetic Grey Metallic', that wouldn't a been my 1st choice either. I'm not a 'red guy' but I always liked Toy's 'impulse red'. But i hadda go outta my way to find the 2TR-FE w/5sp manual, 4WD & access cab in 2015 - so the color choice was... not a choice. I found...

I'm tired of being the silver surfer. That looks tough as all get-out. I'm not Stimpy I'm Ren

(EDIT - TOOK 5 HOURS) A small portion of one wheel is already showing a bit of silver. I don't know what I did wrong because I scuffed up every inch and cleaned them up carefully. But all in all I LOVE the finished product cause I've wanted to black out these wheels for YEARS AND YEARS. What...

Thank you. No the spring clips are fine. I cleaned 'em up nicely with a soft brass brush.

Hello all. I have an order on hold w/Lakeland Toy in FL (I recommend them - their prices are much, much better, even w/shipping, than my local ______r's here). Just FYI my local dealer wanted $70, and that's w/some kind of bogus 15% dismount. Toyota Parts Overstock (Lakeland) came in @ $30...

I LOVE IT!!! Thank you for that positive review. My truck IS slow, esp. lifted and with 31x10.50 tires, but I love how the engine can go an entire 6-7k interval between oil changes and not need any oil. Or maybe a teence, one time. I hear bad things about turbo engines and reliability, so I...

I wish w/all my heart that Toyota could hear you, "what works - stay w/it" ... because my 2TR-FE engine & 5 sp. manual trans WORKS. REALLY WELL. And i am so bummed that sweet, simple, winning combination is no longer available on the Tacoma. Last thing I want is a smaller displacement...

2015 4x4, 2TR-FE, 5sp. access cab. Front pads and rotors first replaced on warranty @ 15k miles by Toyota, years ago. I had the idea to do this brake job myself. Even had friends offer me jacks and stands for the job. But a call from my daughter led to a convergence of logistics: she wanted...

ahhhh, what do i know? i never knew you could do damage by filling up the neck. perhaps my charcoal canister has seen better days? i top off so i don't have to re-fuel as often. simple as that. anyway i left out a relevant piece of info - when on the hwy i drive between 75 and 85mph...

Thank you for explaining THE OBVIOUS. That i completely MISSED. hah!!

My friend has been snapping pics of the MPG his RAM has been getting, and I was pretty impressed to finally see him get to 20mpg on his readout. now, how reliable the Dodge truck's calculations are, i don't know. but i thought to myself, "damn, i should B doing waaaay better than I am w/my...

Hey all, I haven't read thru all the replies to this post, but the all the talk about tightening the bolts and using loctite and all that... you guys obviously have not really fixed this issue in the past. If you had, you would KNOW it's has nothing to do w/the bedliner bolts being tight...

--- FITMENT INFO NEEDED for transition to 32 x 10.50 tires using STOCK steel wheels after lift --- Greetings. I'd like this info pls from anyone with experience: Once my truck is lifted w/a 3" (approx.) sus lift, can I just mount the aforementioned tire size on the stock steelers and drive away...

At the print shop i have a cnc cutter that will make exact circles for this project. Thanks for that pic. I'll use something like 50pt cardstock. At first it had me thinking "Paint BEFORE buying new tires". But then again, I'll be more apt to be a PIA when they get mounted cause it's my work...
