Thank you, just what i was looking for. Regards, Ceril

I have a 4th gen Tacoma with an ARE MX (mid height) topper. I am looking to get a canopy sun shade that I can attach one end to the top of the rear topper door, when it is open, and the other end be free standing with one or two poles that are secured with strings and stakes. I want...

My Taco has leaf springs :)

I have a SR5 4WD ExtraCab (with the rear leaf springs) and with the stock suspension, I measure (hub to fender) 24"-Rear and 22"-front. I am waiting for my ARE MX Fiberglass shell to arrive and once that is installed then I will re-measure again before installing the 5100 shocks. I was also...

The transmission does tend to up shift rather quickly when accelerating from a stop, probably to keep the RPM's low for better fuel economy. The other think I noticed is that when you apply a little more throttle, at most any speed, the transmission is very reluctant to down shift and instead...

Transfer Case Ratio: 1.00:1 for both 2H and 4H (4L drops to a 2.57:1 reduction). So it appears that using 4H would add additional load on the transmission vs 2H and only using 4L would help with the extra gear reduction.

I should have made it clear that my "use case" for the 2010 Tundra was for an OFF-ROAD situation where the road was so rough that I was forced to drive slow. If your 4th gen Tacoma has transmission overheat problems per your above statement: "What I don't understand is the overheating will...

Even my 2010 Tundra, with the tow package and dedicated transmission fluid cooler, would over heat the transmission if I did a long, steep, slow climb in 4HI. The 5.7L engine had plenty of low rpm torque and the engine temp never increased but the transmission temperature would go into the red...

Have any of you purchased the Trail Hunter skid plate online recently and if so, where was the best price?

It's the first thing I removed since there was no way that I was going to give up that much ground clearance for off road. Once it's removed the lower A-Arms start making a whistle sound around 40 mph so I installed the 8 OEM plugs in the bottom of the arms to stop that.

According to this one test there was a 0.7 mpg loss from removing the spoiler on Tacoma 4G.

You can't change physics, tire weight and size do matter. A wider tire also pushes more air going down the road so that is another factor that favors a skinny tire. Then you have extra rolling resistance as well from a wider and heavier tire. Why do you think road racing bicycles run skinny...

Like you, I have only owned my Tacoma for a month and I am also new to the Pizza Cutter tire approach. After exhaustive online research I stumbled on this video and this guy appears to very knowlegable on every thing related to off-roading: Based on this video and other research, I am...

Probably acceptable for mild off-roading but looks like too much exposure for the spare tire to get side wall damage during technical trails, IMO.

A 255/75R17 is a 32" tire.

That might be a good option as well and they also come in low cost all terrain configuration.

I recently had a similar situation and I can suggest that you look at a 255/75/R17 for a spare. A tire size comparison calculator wills show your tire as 32.7" height vs 32.06" for the spare with a difference of -0.64" smaller for the spare. Tire Height: 32.7'' 32.06'' -0.64'' The...

I plan to replace the OEM shocks on my Tacoma SR5 with Bilstein 5100 shocks. When I looked online at one of the sites it states: Fits 4WD models with rear coil spring suspension only. Will fit 2WD models with coil spring and leaf spring rear suspension The ExtraCab SR5 has rear leaf springs...
