Okay, so my suspicion seems correct. Electronic stability control appears to be a requirement for "light vehicles". The link is to the requirements for an electronic stability system, but in this section it does not explain when this system is required. So I am just assuming that somewhere in...

Top 3 "must have" mods for me: Weathertech floor mats Undercoating (like woolwax) Software tune (leaning towards OTT) Followed closely by second set of wheels and winter tires. Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3 265/70r18. (32.6") (Bigger size because it would feel irresponsible not to!) I bought...

I paid $43k for a 2026 SR5, with long bed, double cab, in white. It includes cold weather package, and JBL audio system. Dealer had a $4k mark down, but they also have a no-haggle business model. I'm not sure if they are getting rid of inventory to make room for the 2027s, or if sales are...

I guess I posted too soon. I'm at nearly 1,000 miles, and the front suspension has settled by the amount I thought I wanted to lower it! But now it has more noticeable rake...

Unfortunately I do not have a "full time 4wd" option. I just have 2wd, 4 hi, and 4 low. I agree that 4 hi makes a huge difference on gravel. The truck feels helpless on gravel in 2wd. I saw the TFL video from 2024 about the tranction control system. But those tests are meaningless to me...

On my SR5, 4x4, I think a true limited slip differential (LSD) would be a big upgrade. But I don't see anyone talking about it. Everybody wants lockers, but for me, a LSD is far more practical. Especially for driving in wet roads, winter roads that are 99% clear, or turning down a gravel road...

I keep seeing the Icon triple rate rear springs. They are tempting. They are supposed to soften the rear for ride quality, but also increase loaded capacity, or atleast reduce suspension sag when loaded. It sounds like a great idea, and they would probably have a bigger impact on the truck...

Best upgrade: WeatherTech floor mats! Nothing else compares in terms of preserving the interior of your vehicle. They also have a mudflaps for the Tacoma if you are shopping around for those. I think stock wheels are under rated. Did you know you can fit 35s on the stock 17" wheels? Every...

Just FYI, all speakers and hands free microphone are working 100% for on my 2026 SR5, using the Autoharnesshouse kit. The best way to test is by making a phone call, I think. Given you have a Camry and are posting in a Tacoma forum, it is anyone's guess if yours works the same! But the...

Maybe I have been a bit tone deaf. I wanted to explain the positives of the JBL system and how it works, along with a small tweak that I thought made it sound better...but I wasn't really listening to your concerns! To address your concerns directly, yes, I think you need to upgrade your...

It was always clear that you had made up your mind. For the sake of people who want to get past the polarized opinions and understand how the system works, the system divides a 2 channel source into 3 channels. The center channel is made up of everything that is the same between the left...

Yes, while testing the different settings, I listened to it with and without the center speaker connected. If my head is on the center line of the cab, and I disconnect the center channel, I hear a literal "hole" in the image! This "hole" is the missing audio content I mentioned...

What were you expecting the system to be? It is focused on sound quality, not shaking the body panels. And I'm all about sound quality.

I think this is one of the few cases where the knee jerk disable/ delete reaction to new car features is a mistake! The reason why I don't just disable the speaker is because the center channel is a good idea! The system is trying to recreate the type of audio quality you would experience in...

I just figured this out and wanted to post in case it helps someone. I have the JBL sound system with the removable center channel in the dash. Initially it sounded good for detail and audio clarity, but I quickly came to dislike the mono center channel thing. Most of the audio is coming from...

Their website form only gives option for double cab short bed, but it appears you have the long bed. Did they make a long bed version for you? Or is that the short bed version? It doesn't look like it is the wrong size. I have the double cab long bed.

I gotta say that I do appreciate made in America. I am not interested in an import product! Would you do bed liner over the powder coat? Of course it would be an extra cost. Several years ago I painted and bedliner sprayed the trailer hitch on my GTI. I just used spray cans for primer...

I suspect you somewhat misunderstand the situation. The autoharnesshouse.com kit does not deactivate/disconnect the DCM, because DCM is deactivated when you unplug the cables or pull the fuse. You do not need to buy anything to do the disconnect. What the kit does is it restores the...

Anyone in the north running rock sliders/ running boards? I'd like to get a set that won't immediately get rusty from winter salt, since the truck is gonna be my primary winter vehicle. So something with powder coating + bedliner would sound good to me. I *probably* won't be doing much...

Question on the OTT tune--when getting the tune, is it possible to change ECU programming to allow left foot braking? When stock, the truck fights me and cuts throttle if brakes are applied under throttle. Throttle doesn't cut immediately, but it does not have any effect on the vehicle's...
