    K&N 66 vs. 77 Series vs. Sixth Element CAI: Which Did You Choose and Why?

    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...

    Rear Differential Leak Issue: Common Problem For New Owners?

    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...

    Mystery Knob on 2024 Toyota Tacoma Dashboard: What’s Its Purpose?

    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?

    Mystery Knob on 2024 Toyota Tacoma Dashboard: What’s Its Purpose?

    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...

    Affordable Tailgate Protection From Theft: Hose Clamp Hack Pickup Trucks

    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...

    Affordable Tacoma Mod: Enhancing Bed Cleats with SS Wing Nuts and Fender Washers

    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...

    No Sound After Speaker Upgrade: Suspecting Short From Dash Pillar Speaker Installation

    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...

    TRD Pro ISO Dynamic Seats Optional In Future?

    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...

    Should I Sell My Fully Built 3rd Gen for a 4th Gen Tacoma?

    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.

    Tacoma System and Brake Malfunction + Orange Coolant Light Issue: Anyone Has Any Solution Ideas?

    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...

    Comsidering Adding a Hitch Skid Plate to My Truck: Open To Having a Conversation About the Best Possible Market Options

    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...

    Custom AJT Key Fob Upgrade for My Truck: Underground with Red Accents

    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...
