Forgot to include, my install estimate, based on putting a LR tank into a Wrangler.

Good to see there’s finally an option—but for those of us who actually need meaningful range, this still doesn’t solve the underlying OEM gap. Most people aren’t installing this themselves. By the time you factor in install—often ~$1K—a ~$3,300 total price tag, it’s a pretty expensive...

Borders on being a NERPT after a while. I’ve been digging into the documentation on this a bit, including the Tacoma manual and how Toyota specs the same engine globally. First, the official Tacoma spec (North America): Oil standard: ILSAC GF-6A Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20 From the 2025...

'25, delivered 30 APR, 14,500 miles. Thoroughly enjoying it. Did 3,200 miles, 5 days, between the holidays. More comfortable than my Q50 would've been (more room to move about, less 'cockpit' feel).

To be clear, I think GG makes a quality product. I had a full system in my JK for six years with no issues. The only maintenance I did was once a year, when I’d snug down all the screws with a T5 wrench (I did the same with my Rhino Rack). For the 4th gen Tacoma, there are two main things to...

It’s been almost a year, and we’ll finally be adding a cap and related accessories to the bed soon. I live in a “salt” state, and I haven’t seen any corrosion on mine. They’ve been useful several times as extra tie-down points for straps and bungee cords. Even just for the added tie-down...

Mine had sat on the lot 90 days. Did a nationwide search. At the time, it was second-oldest in the nation. I test drove it. The next week, I said if you give me a good deal I'll free up the lot space that weekend. I had a no-bs quote 15 minutes later. Out the door just under their original...

I've a friend in my mcycle community always complaining about, '...why'd [he] get that...' My view is, if we all liked the same thing, it'd be a mighty boring place.

Thank you for sharing. Unfortunately, that large maw is something not ideal here in Michigan. Driving in heavy snow, slush, salty messes, that large opening will just get jammed full and be a catch-all. Not ideal if you need to use the winch. Having had Warn on my JK, I perked up hearing they...

I bought mine knowing the sport bar was sacrificial. As soon as you put a bed rack or cap on it, which many are likely to do, it's a throw-away. I'll be selling mine come spring once the cap's ready for install. Cannot be too terrible--definitely subjective like anything else--given I've seen...

Your note made me laugh. Very subjective. My view is polar opposite:)

Howdy, A few months ago, I ordered SXTH’s bed step relocation bracket. The concept is solid, and installation was straightforward. But I ran into a problem: when raising the step, it interfered with the recovery hook by about 3/16"—not good. To their credit, SXTH’s support was top-notch. They...

Makes huge difference. Had a few inches hit Detroit Metro this week. Was surprised how much better the RWD sedan with a fresh set of Nokians did, that our truck. While I'm not dissatisfied with the truck, I was simply surprised how much better the car did for the amount of snow we got.

Figure about 1,500 lb for an aluminum car hauler, 4,000 lb for the car, you'll be under your truck's 6,400 lb tow rating. Assuming good tires, properly inflated, and all-else is good to go, should do Ok. Let us know. I've not read of anybody else towing that heavy a load.
