I put sunscreen and bug repellent in those spots. Works for me. Handy when I step out of the truck in the bush.

Folks, My wife is a petite woman of 5'1" (well almost) and getting up into the Trailhunter is a bit of stretch for her. I also noticed when I get out I tend to slide my butt across the seat. I wanted an easier way for my wife to get in, and a way for me to get out that wouldn't wear out the...

I love the way black trucks look, but I hate keeping them clean. I went with the Bronze Oxide for my Trailhunter. And in Canada, you can only get them in the long bed version, with a moonroof, roof rack, and ARB chase rack. I wasn't a fan of the chase rack, and I'm getting a cap installed...

Toyota uses NSV compressors on the Trailhunter models.

I don't mean to simplify the issue, BUT... most cars and trucks are shipped with over-inflated tires so they don't develop flat spots in the radial belts as they sit on the transport, or on the lot. Driving while they are over-inflated can cause the vibration you've described. It's supposed to...

Looks great and welcome to Team Taco! I prefer the long bed myself. I came from a short bed truck and every time I went to put something into that short bed it was always too long! Mountain bikes, oars for my boat, fishing rods, lumber, you name it. So I said fork it - and I got a long deck...

My first trip is likely going to be just a one day hunt up here in BC. Get some dirt under the wheels. Immediate mods will be PPF in critical areas for rock chips and pinstriping. After that I need some sort of cap. The way I sue my truck, I tend to have a fair about of crap with me... sports...

On July 12 2023, just after the Trailhunter was released to the public, I knew I had to have one. I placed my order with the dealership and the long wait began. I was told that the dealership had been given an allocation for the truck in May of 2024 and that it was on it's way, but there was no...

When I decided on a Tacoma, I carefully considered my use cases. Daily driver, hunting and fishing truck, often solo away from cell service, needed box room for all my gear and some occasional yardwork type stuff. What I came up with were three non-negotiable requirements: 1) 4dr Double Cab 2)...

Hey Team Tacoma! I've read a lot of posts where people have purchased their trucks from dealerships outside of their local area, usually due to the availability of a particular trim level. Have any of you who have purchased from a non-local dealership had any difficulty with getting servicing...

I'm really only interested in front bumpers that retain all factory sensors. Maybe we could add this information to the posts as they come up? Also, I was surprised to see that ARB doesn't have a front bumper already available since they produce a rear bumper for the TRD Pro and Trailhunter models.
