  1. Apple Music Streaming Vs Apple CarPlay - WOW!

    Ok yea that makes more sense. The head unit at that point isn't restricted by digital compression and would only be limited by signal strength. So as long as the head unit has a strong cellular signal, it can stream in the highest quality available which Apple Music is supposed to be lossless vs...
  2. Apple Music Streaming Vs Apple CarPlay - WOW!

    Carplay communicates with the truck through Bluetooth and/or WiFi not your carriers 5G network. While it is a source level issue, it isn't necessarily Toyota setting it up wrong as some signals just have different output levels and use different digital processing which leads to some signals...
  3. Toyota TRD 3+2 lift causing safety errors.

    The toyota safety sense system needs recalibrating anytime you upsize tires, or lift the truck(tire size change isnt really important). It has simple parameter changes you can make for tire upsizing and overall lift height factoring in how much higher the lift is including the extra height from...
  4. NEW! 2024+ Tacoma Tail Lights | Form Lighting

    Damn those looks really good! If I didn't already buy the Pro 4Runner headlamps I definitely would have got these.
  5. NEW! 2024+ Tacoma Tail Lights | Form Lighting

    Are they an OEM style headlamp design or a completely unique original style?
  6. Need HELP with Accessories -- New 2026 Taco SR5 4x4 double owner

    What is your budget for a tonneau cover? Depending on what you are willing to spend I can suggest a few different tiers of options. Dealer tonneaus are just rebadged Bakflip tonneaus. The quality is good and you can get them for a good price online when they have accessory promos. You could...
  7. rear brake job, fully extended cylinder

    Remove the 2 screws that hold the actuator onto the caliper and separate them. Push the piston all the way back in and install onto vehicle. Next take the actuator and unplug it. You can either turn it back by hand or some people have had success by using a small battery and some wire. The safer...
  8. 5w30 Used Oil Analysis - Less Wear Than 0w20

    Unfortunately a lot of the fear mongering comes from people that misunderstand oil viscosities or use outdated knowledge. While there are definitely some niche cases where tolerances are too tight for thicker fluids, most new vehicles use thinner oils only for emissions compliance. Typically...
  9. 5w30 Used Oil Analysis - Less Wear Than 0w20

    Not here to refute 5w30 protecting more against wear as thicker oils will definitely do that, but strictly looking at the data, comparing an oil analysis at 25k to one at 80k doesn't give an exact apples to apples comparison. Aluminum is at the same level and iron is slightly less but that could...
  10. What's the single best upgrade you've made to your Tacoma

    Best upgrade for function I have added is the Leer bed cap. Best upgrade for aesthetics would be the 4Runner TRD Pro lamps.
  11. Protect The Seat Back of Your Tacoma with Our Backrest Mats | xipoqix

    Not really sure I am a fan of how small the surface area of the Velcro is. Some of our OEM cargo liner seat backs that Velcro on also had a small surface area and after a short time, they began to have issues staying attached.
  12. Trusting Toyota Service Department

    While it sucks to hear about you having poor personal experiences at the dealer, I wouldn't say you can't trust them all. Just like any small private shop, a dealer is privately owned and experiences will vary. I've had the opportunity to work at a few different dealers, including the one I am...
  13. Recall: 2024-2025 Tacoma TRD Off-Road models due to Bilstein Shocks Corrosion Issue (48k Units Affected)

    Had a feeling this recall would be coming because of how many people were reporting that the reservoirs were coming off due to corrosion. Hopefully this is the reason the shocks were on back order(To update and correct the issue) and that they will soon have parts for everyone affected.
  14. Long Range America Fuel Tank on 4th Gen Tacoma

    Damn that thing is massive! Would have to imagine its at least as much as the last gen design which was around 33 Gallons. EDIT*** Just saw another post and as I suspected, it is 33 Gallons which is a huge improvement over the factory 18.
  15. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    You are expecting an accident that is in no way a result of defective parts to be covered under warranty. This will never happen. Sure for things like tires and rims, you can buy additional coverage that covers for accidents like punctures or damaged wheels, but under the basic 3/60 warranty, no...
