    2024 vs 2025

    What are the differences between the 2024 and 2025 other than hopefully working out some bugs and issues with the early production trucks? Are there any interesting additions, deletions or features in the new model year?

    Thoughts on no engine cover and exposed wires, etc.

    My 2021 TRD Sport had a large plastic cover over much of the engine. This made keeping the engine compartment clean fairly simple, and things that were not covered appeared fairly sturdy. I was able to get in there with some Griots engine cleaner and a gentle spray from a garden hose to keep...

    Great Little Find on Amazon: Air Vent Storage Box

    Found this by accident on Amazon for $12.99. Took a chance and it worked out perfectly. Fits great, one minute install and a nice spot to keep small items without junking up the interior with a bunch of cheaply made aftermarket stuff.

    Lower Control Arm Plugs After Removing Air Dam

    I removed the air dam from my TRD Sport and have only a very slight whistling/humming noise. I see that there are plugs for the lower control arm holes that will stop this noise. The question is whether plugging these holes will prevent drainage and lead to rust. I figure the holes must be...

    Perfect Use of the Dash Side Secret Compartment

    Found a good use of the dash side secret compartment. Perfect place for an emergency flasher I found at Home Depot for $9.95. It’s really bright at night. Just had to place a small piece of velcro behind it to keep it from rattling and it holds it in place when the compartment cover is removed...

    Florida Free NYTOP Cross Member - Venice FL

    I have a NYTOP cross member needed for installation of a skid plate on non OR trucks. I ended up going with a skid that did not need it. It’s free to anyone who wants to come get it, still in the box.

    TRD Spare Tire

    I have a TRD Sport with the “donut” spare. On a ling trip I want to be able to continue after a flat and not deal with driving 50 MPH and finding a tire replacement/repair on the road. Can I put a full size 18 inch tire to match my OEM tires on this rim. Also open to other cost effective full...

    Free NYTOP Cross Member

    I have a NYTOP cross member that I don't need. Purchased it to install an OEM skid plate on a TRD Sport and ended up finding a skid plate that won't fit with the cross member in place. The one I purchased, still in the box, is free to anyone who wants to come get it. Not worth the expense of...

    Couple of TRD Sport Easy Mods

    I fell in love with Tacomas when going to Africa-Tanzania, Nigeria, Congo, etc. These Tacos had hundreds of thousands of miles on them, no doors or bumpers, and no two wheels the same, but they still ran like champs. I’m on Taco #2 with my new Sport. I don’t off road beyond fire roads for photo...

    Rear power source for rear facing dash cam

    Hi All. I installed the OEM dash cam on my Gen4 TRD Sport, I know a bunch of you might say why not go after market with a front and rear camera but I liked the windshield look of the OEM camera. Looking to install a rear facing camera facing out of the back window. Perhaps a Garmin. Can some of...

    Engine Noise - Sounds Like Valves Tapping on Acceleration

    Have a Gen 4 TRD Sport for about a month and currently about 2500 miles. Since the beginning I have heard a rattling sound like valves tapping on acceleration. It does not always occur, but it is frequent. I waited until now to allow some time for break-in and I have also tried several fuel...

    High Lift Jack Points

    Just got my Gen 4 TRD Sport. I’m not a hardcore off roader, just need 4WD for bad weather and occasional easy trails hence the Sport and not OR. I doubt I will ever need to use the rear high lift jack points. Any thoughts on a plug/cover similar to a hitch mount cover to dress up the rear end a...
