Those who have K&N CAIs, did you go with the 66 series or the 77 series, and why? They seem very similar, except the 77 series appears much easier to install. I’m also considering the Sixth Element CAI. Would love to hear what others think about each of them. Just a heads-up, though: as someone...

Did anyone see or experience this type of issue when they first got their truck, where you'd notice drops on the floor? For my own experience, it appeared to be coming from the rear differential. So far, I've only heard of a couple of other owners mention such an issue ever since I had mine...

Not bad. Seems like an even better option for it. How's the 14-inch screen operation like? Been thinking of changing my smaller display screen for the 14-inch. Just holding off a bit for now. Probably cause I don't see much difference asides it being bigger in size

Oh, that's nice. Did your truck come that way or it was a mod you carried out?

This knob came off from my dashboard and it appears to be part of the dashboard controls on your truck. It moves left and right but I cant say what it's purpose is. Maybe it could be a part of an accessory mount or a feature that hasn't been figured out yet by any owner. I think I'd try...

I’ve seen some owners putting a stainless steel hose clamp on their truck’s tailgate. Asked one owner, and he said he's been doing so for the past 38 years on all the trucks he has owned. Apparently, it helps with the security of your tailgate. I guess most delinquents are opportunists and are...

I want to THANK the genius that suggested to put wing nuts and washers on the factory rail BED CLEATS. I bought SS wing nuts M 8-1.25 and SS 5/16x 1-1/4 fender washers. I put 3 cleats on each side. All the years I had my 3rd Gen, I couldn't believe this simple hack eluded me. I was waiting to...

I must have a short in my one-dash pillar speaker when replacing the factory premium JBL speakers because I recently lost all sound inside my truck the other day. Music, tones, everything. I don't know if it's safe to cut the factory harness off and direct wire to the new dash speaker. I guess...

I've so said this before. Some features are better off as optional features. Not like they aren't great but some owners might see it as an avenue to save a little cash while some might not fancy it that much. Funny how I was just discussing this with a friend some days back and he also said the...

If you're a tech lover, you'd definitely fancy owning the 4th Gen over the 3rd Gen. It basically comes down to what you love the most about your truck.

Has anyone had a “system malfunction” “break malfunction” message AND orange coolant light come ON and suddenly OFF on their truck dash? This was the message I got this morning and I immediately reached out to the dealership, who said it won’t be covered since I’m over my warranty. Dealership...

Been thinking about getting the hitch skid plates for my truck. It seems like a solid upgrade for protection and off-road durability. No doubt they do protect the hitch and undercarriage from rocks and rough terrain, which is a big plus for off-roading enthusiasts. I haven’t installed one...

AJT made a key fob for my truck for me, which has been awesome. Best part, they make key fobs for new TRD Pro Tacomas. It came out great in the underground color with red buttons and red aluminum screws. Although I'm still trying to figure out what color scheme would suit my spare set. Right...

Not seen a lot of owners talk about owning D-Rings and bed anchors for their truck. Forr me, they are much better than basic hardware and are key add-ons. Truly, this upgrade is a must for your truck. These little guys offer strong and flexible use, make tying down gear easy, and really...

This was my tailgate setup for the weekend. Since I got this YETI cooler, it's the first time I've taken it out for the weekend. Worked great for cooling the drinks and water. The JBL speaker also added to the fun as well. A perfect combo for a perfect weekend spent with family and friends.
