    Tariffs On Products From Mexico

    I'm concerned about the potential price increases for parts and OEM accessories. They're already very expensive.

    275/70/18 KO3 tires on a Trailhunter - initial review

    I did the same thing on my TRD OR a couple days ago, except I went with 285/70-17 for the KO3’s. I did a similar comparison to yours, and considered various sizes, and ended up with this selection. I’ve only done 70-80 miles so far, much of it during heavy rain & wind, and I’m pleased so far.

    Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3W{A}

    Yikes! I drove home about 50 miles from the tire shop in heavy rain and wind, on twisty foothills roads. And I went out yesterday during some rain here. So far, so good, it seems firmly planted on the road. I’m looking forward to trying them in some snow too.

    Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3W{A}

    I chose the KO3 vs the KO2 based on commentary and reviews that seem to indicate it's an improvement. I hope I made the right choice...

    Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3W{A}

    The same thing is true of the OEM Trail Terrains that came on my TRD OR. Even though the regular BFG Trail Terrain has the 3PMSF rating, the Toyota version does not. Also I saw a review that said the tread depth is less on the Toyota scaled down version. I drove in snow once with the OEM tires...

    Tailgate Lettering Inserts - Show your colors

    My truck is “underground”, and the 4x4 badge is black, so I went with black as well for the letter inserts. I like a subtle look. :)

    OK, time to share my Solar Octane TACO (Drone Pilot Support Truck) -- Photos!

    Wow, you really went all-in. I’m Part 107 too but I go for a more stealth approach whenever possible. :) I can see how some situations require more visibility though.

    2024 Tacoma TRD Sport handling snow storm like a champ... how about yours?

    I find myself switching back and forth when there’s alternating snow and dry pavement. I’m worried about over-stressing the drivetrain in 4WD on a solid surface.

    2024 Tacoma TRD Sport handling snow storm like a champ... how about yours?

    My little bit of testing so far has shown the OEM version of the Trail Terrains are terrible in the snow here (Sierra). Not just in the back with the empty bed, but even the front. I’m shopping for 3PMSF tires. Also while driving in the snow, the snow builds up and blocks the radar, causing...

    AT&T data plan and hotspot

    I subscribed to the trial, but didn’t use it even once, so didn’t renew it for the paid plan when the trial expired. I thought it might be handy to have their AT&T connection for situations where my Verizon service is unavailable. But for now I’m opting to not spend the extra money on another...

    Best A/T tires for snow - Ko3's or Ridge Grapplers?

    I drove my TRD OR with the stock 265/70-17 BFG All Terrains (Toyota OEM version) in about an inch of Sierra snow at about 34 degrees this week. It was scary. I thought I was going to go off the road multiple times. I didn’t air down (it was about 31 psi) as I was doing a mix of bare pavement and...

    What did you do TO / WITH your 4th gen Tacoma today?! 👨‍🏭 🧰 📸

    Thanks for the tips. I live in a forest, so I wouldn't do it outdoors (tree debris, and dust). It would be in my garage, which this time of year would be in the 50's and 60's. I figure even if the supplies cost a couple hundred $$ it would still be worth my time to do it myself, as long as I can...

    What did you do TO / WITH your 4th gen Tacoma today?! 👨‍🏭 🧰 📸

    Did you have any issues getting this done? I'm thinking about doing it myself vs paying $1,400 for a professional, but I'm concerned about messing it up. Have you done it before or was this your first time? I've done multi-step prep/wax before, but never ceramic.

    2024 Tacoma OR ... less than 200 miles and died on the side of the road

    I hope you’ll post updates on this as it progresses. Reading this (especially the no loaner thing) is very troubling - my purchase dealer is 100 miles away and the closest dealer is 60 miles. This is my only vehicle and I drive a lot in off-grid areas. Yikes!

    TRD OR - Tire Size Upgrade Concerns

    I recently picked up a 2024 TRD OR with the TRD Upgrade package, and am considering a tire upgrade. However with all the electronics in these vehicles I'm concerned about the impact of changing the tire size. It could impact how everything works, from the speedometer, odometer, or even how the...

    Trailhunter owners: 5ft vs 6ft bed decision?

    I don't have the Trailhunter, but faced the same question before buying my TRD Off-Road with 5 ft bed. I planned to buy 6' for more utility, like home store trips, etc. But I drove both 5 and 6 foot models and the 6 foot felt noticeably more cumbersome to maneuver. And I would have had the same...
