a couple more things to consider for a tonneau cover: -how much weight (distributed load) can it handle - can you haul things on top, and how much snow could it handle? -can it work with bed bars or other bed rack system? Many of of the tonneas have options to get an integrated track that bed...

Like any hobby it has its own language. PLA, PETG, ABS and ASA are all different types of plastic that can be used on a 3d printer with PLA and PETG being the most common and generally the easiest to print. Since the file is downloadable you could check with your local library. They might...

I would print in PETG and maybe consider using ABS or ASA. While I have not 3d printed this wedge, I have 3d printed some other things for my tacoma in PETG and I have had no issues with them. I think based on where it is located the big thing will be heat resistance.

These have been out for a while and I there are a ton of YouTube videos on them. This one from running4tacos shows both the amber version and white version

I would also throw the ARB (OEM) steel bumper on this list.

My biggest annoyance is the gas tank size. I think the trailer brake controller should be available on all trims. The trailer hitch requires a longer hitch pin. While Toyota did give me the correct size hitch pin, I had to buy a new locking hitch pin that would fit Stock tires are kind of...

I did not realize that was in the vehicle settings off the steering wheel. Having kids, that beeping is more obnoxious than anything and I am very happy to now have it off. Thanks for posting!

I picked up the OEM skid plates while parts/accessories are on sale (and free shipping). The front skid plate is from the new Land cruiser but it also fits the Tacoma - PT228-60242. The transfer case skid plate is PT228-35247. The skids are stainless steel and while not the thickest l...

I don't think any trim gets all the buttons. As an example the limited trim has a couple unique to them but doesn't get the rear locker. For the center console buttons: Trailer back up assist Stabilizer bar disconnect 360 camera Center diff lock (limited only) For the buttons on the left...

Check out the C4 Low pro bumper. I like that it keeps the OEM fog lights and it has a high clearance side addition you can get for it. https://c4fabrication.com/collections/tacoma-2024/products/tacoma-front-lo-pro-winch-bumper-4th-gen-2024 I think there are other companies that also have a...

Nice! Really liking the sxth element mods! Definitely considering this one for my truck. I kind of think this should be standard on all the off-road trims...

The SR5 is plenty capable and the base 4wd system is excellent. ATRAC has been integrated into the 4wd low and really is perfectly capable for dirt/gravel roads/Forest service trails etc. That being said, If your budget allows for it, I would go with the TRD off-road. The big advantage is it...

I still like them. They have been rock solid as far as protection goes and snow and mud do not accumulate on them. The design of screwing on traction plates is not my favorite as there is corrosion around each bolt hole and around the track plates. Once warmer weather hits, I am going to...

A few weeks ago I traded my cast-off OEM predator steps for the OEM Roof rack (pt767-35100) and finally got around to installing it today. Installation was very easy and only took me 30 minutes. After installation I took it for a quick test drive: overall it is rock solid on the truck and...

Installed the diamondback switchback yesterday. This is my second diamondback - I previously had an HD on my tundra and liked it on that. Pros - very well made and while not tested, I feel like it will do very well at keeping water out. As part of the kit, you get a replacement for the...
