They do fit but the quality of the factory letters versus the aftermarket are much nicer and solid. Most aftermarket grills like Aspire and YotaTribe, are hollow and include a backing plate so you can either mount a secondary light bar or run with the letterings (basically, you don’t have to...
I agree. I used G2 which is a high temp paint specifically used for brake calipers but is extremely chemical resistant and have seen it repair itself from scratches once the calipers get hot… and you can get it standard or custom colors($65 v $130, while that’s a substantial difference, go to...

$200 is a bit steep, for everything you did, I would’ve charged about $1200. I wrapped a “color flip” the other day for a Civic that wanted to go from blue to a neochrome green/purple so I ended up wrapping the door jambs too so it didn’t look half-assed. Now if he had gone white or black to...
At least you were smart… @Slappy — part of my 2 shops is vinyl wraps and I always advise my customers if door handles are available in the color you want or you can have downtime, don’t wrap them. Those and the grille areas are the biggest parts to have vinyl deteriorate or get hit. It’s easy...
…or just put a small sliver of electrical tape even a Tacoma heritage sticker across it. At least it only comes on when the headlights are on. When I did my Meso map light upgrade, I just unplugged it and it wasn’t as much of a big deal anymore. I don’t like how bright my dash is or the rear...
hate being that guy, @Gfenza89 and @Slappy ? (Gotta explain your screen name “Slappy” lol). Whether we like it or not, unless you mod or just unplug these crappy features, you’re stuck with them. People on here when I first posted, know I have endured cancer 3x and dual organ transplant so being...
Actually, only if you’re comparing it to the SR trim, every Tacoma from SR5 to TRD PRO/Trailhunter, has the Park Sense 3.0. But not every trim has heated seats but the top tier like the Limited and the Qi charging or aux switches are just options you can get either aftermarket or during...
I think someone got their categories mixed up. Yes, in previous generations going back to the 80s and 90s, Tacoma and the “Pickup” were “small” but even Toyota has been marketing them as midsized now just as they did when Rangers used to be small and now built on the same platform as the Bronco...
All depends on what you’ve driven before but even more, the modifications you’ve made. I’ve owned an 85 extended cab and if I compare that to my 4G, my 4G TRD sucks (and I had 32s on her). J had a JL Wrangler 2 door, lifted 4” with 35x12.5s… my turning radius was better than my 16’ lomg 2001...
I understand your view, truly… but I am also assuming you’re in perfect health and while I’ve owned many trucks both lowered (Tacoma XRunner) and lifted up to 8”, I am also a post cancer survivor so even the littlest jarring can be taxing on my nervous system. If you read most of what’s been...
I considered Westcott but their times are 4-5 months out. I finally got a chance to run by my shop and put the 285s against my stock height 4G, it’ll definitely be taxing on turning radius but just sitting static, it should be fine. I might just leave them alone (crash bars)…
But definitely...
here’s the funny thing: I ran Mickey Thompsons on my JLR for awhile, they are marketed as “35s”, however, if you look at Mickey’s page… 34.5 and a width of 12.8. Is this deceptive? Apparently a lot of companies round up, even under full inflation of 50psi, I essentially was only a 33.5-33.8 at...
so I went to the dealership and the technical advisor gave me a few tidbits that might help…
the first option is to remove the “ECU-DCM Fuse 1” under the steering column fuse box. This will disable it instead of just toggling the steering wheel controls and using the gauge cluster. He showed me...
I have tomorrow off and plan to have the tires and wheels mounted and tossed on… this might climate this all together. Now to disengage the PCS permanently… still hating that I have to disengage that every time I drive. While that’s a great safety feature, even turning it down to the lowest...
I might have to try the sand bag trick. I met a local 4G owner and he also came from the Jeep life… he said that the simple transition from solid axles to IFS was a learning experience. He saw the JLR back when I had it and said because of the shorter wheel base, the fact I had about 300lbs...
