  1. Victory Engine Cover Feedback

    All good. Proves the hood scoop is sort of functional with some water marks on the top. Air does indeed get in but it is mostly a vent to let hot air out when stopping.
  2. Remote Starter installed - 6mt OR

    So, how does this start the motor with a manual? Does it physically move the shifter or it has to be in neutral?
  3. if you could only do one mod on your 4th Gen Tacoma, what’s the move?

    Tires, the most important mod ever. This image was the first time I laid eyes on my new Taco in Cheboygan, MI when we picked her up in the dealer wash bay. Sold the garbage OEM tires back to the dealer and swapped on 265/70 KO2's. Never knew how the truck drove with stock tires. Other images...
  4. 265/70 on factory 18's TRD Sport 6MT

    I never noticed anything because I never knew how it drove with stock tires. It has plenty of go in the low gears due to 4.30 gears. Yet, I got it up to 107 one day, so plenty even on the top end when you need it. I have squawked the rear tires into 2nd and 3rd off a stop sign with aggressive...
  5. Tested: Best All-Terrain A/T Tires in Snow & Ice

    Was it last Monday, we had a small snowstorm, like 3 inches but howling winds up to 40 mph. I took my wife's Mazda CX-50 Toyota hybrid into work that day. Just the previous day or so, I dumped the oem Goodyear Assurance garbage tires (sold them back to dealer for $400 with 200 miles on them)...
  6. Low mileage trade in's - why??

    People are not very bright when making a huge purchase like this. Less they have plenty of $$$ to just spend and spend. We have internet today, car shows, ask for test drive at a dealership, plenty of opportunity to make a sound decision on a vehicle purchase. Back in the day, it was waiting...
  7. Tested: Best All-Terrain A/T Tires in Snow & Ice

    Unless we get 5 or 6 inches or more on the roads, I will only drive my Camry awd with the WS-90's on them. Especially like you said, that 1 or 2" stuff is the back breaker for taller 4wd trucks. With just an inch or so on the roads, I am passing full size 4wd trucks with my Camry all of the...
  8. Anyone having problems going down from an 18 inch rim to a 17 inch rim. Specifically on a hybrid Tacoma.

    No, some are asking if they have issues with a Tacoma dropping to smaller rims and I am giving examples of my Camry and Corolla that dropped to smaller rims and ran just fine.
  9. Anyone having problems going down from an 18 inch rim to a 17 inch rim. Specifically on a hybrid Tacoma.

    My 2025 Camry awd, for winter went from 18's to 16's with the Blizzak's. On my old 2022 Corolla, went from 18's to 15's with the Blizzak's for winter.
  10. Trailhunter oil change without removing skid plate?

    Victory skid has a notch cut out for oil drainplug access and the front door for oil filter access. And the dealership mechanics have no issues or problems with this skid plate, no need to remove the whole thing.
  11. Winter fuel mileage...I have concerns !

    "I’m not sure what the point of the Tacoma really is anymore. Certainly got me thinking that my ownership might be short lived…" Seriously? Is this a generational thing? Tacoma is a mid-sized truck, which means more lifestyle than with work, but it can handle pulling a smaller trailer and...
  12. Winter fuel mileage...I have concerns !

    My 25 Camry hybrid and my last 22 Corolla SE gas engine, they both dropped in mpg's during winter driving. Reasons are simple: more idling to warm up, running heater motors, defrosting, colder tire temps, reformulated fuels. I can get over 500-mile range on my Camry during warm months and...
  13. Winter fuel mileage...I have concerns !

    Nobody buys a body on frame vehicle and worries about mpg's. It goes down in the winter due to reformulated fuels, colder tires that need warming up, dense cold air, running fans to keep windshields clear. My 2025 Camry SE hovers around 40 mpg in winter and 45 to 48 mpg in summer. Running...
  14. TRD Sport ride quality

    It's a body on frame truck, not a Camry or Lexus. I have 20k miles running heavy 265/70 KO2's and nothing out of the ordinary. My last ride was a 2016 SR with 265/75 R16 KO2's. Coils way batter than leafs. Try and run some weight in the bed and see if you feel difference. If I put 2 sand...
  15. Tested: Best All-Terrain A/T Tires in Snow & Ice

    KO2's for many years, no issues. 2010 SR5, 2016 SR and now 2024 TRD Sport MT. Note my AWD Camry with WS-90 Blizzak's are by far better than driving the Tacoma any day, less deep snowstorms.
  16. Dobinsons C59-823V coil springs installed on Trailhunter with 800lbs constant weight, 2.5" positive rake

    I remember the simpler days with my 2010 SR5... Simple 10-pack leafs rated 500 lbs and EMU springs up front 200 lbs running 285's on 16's... Our old Baja truck had National 10-pack leafs...
  17. Transmission needs to replaced at 230 miles.

    I lost my 6-speed manual transmission at around 14,500 miles. I had the printed TSB with and had the issue, no 2, 4 or 6th gear. The rest worked and I drove it like that for a month. Dealer found a manual trans and set me up with a Camry LE awd loaner for 2 weeks and installed my new 6-speed...
