  1. Strange motor noise below bed

    Funny, I noticed it many many months ago. Was wondering what that was. Like a little motor wirring.
  2. Only getting 15 MPG

    Sounds to me like you have a heavy foot. I'm averaging around 21-22 mpg over the last 20k miles.
  3. *Sneak Peek! & Coming Soon!* OEM Turbo Upgrade!

    I'd imagine that the lower end of this engine is fairly stout -- all things considered. Now are you gonna stuff crazy PSI and expect 1000hp outta this motor.. No friggen way, but mild increases, including a turbo upgrade, I'd have to guess would be just fine as long as you're not straying into...
  4. BMS (Burger) Intake? Anyone have or used one?

    No, not as of yet. Unfortunately I'm currently on the east coast visiting with a few clients, but I'll be back home on Friday, and will potentially install it this weekend. But I'll respond back with some initial impressions once I get it installed. I believe this'll be my third JB4 tuner (few...
  5. BMS (Burger) Intake? Anyone have or used one?

    I recently ordered the JB4 Tuner for the Tacoma, but didn't decide to order the intake since all of the testing of the tuner was done without the intake, unfortunately I don't have any experience with intakes on the Tacoma although I do agree the pricing is better than the competition.
  6. Day 2 of ownership… so I guess this is a thing

    I wasn't sure about that myself, I'm just over a year in ownership, with about 20k miles on mine, but haven't noticed any other "Tacoma Buddies" parking next to me other than say in the last 3 weeks, I found next to my truck after coming out of the movies on two separate occasions a 24+ Tacoma...
  7. TRD off Road MPG

    Almost 20K miles on mine, all stock non hybrid.
  8. Any idea what this signaling device is or does?

    I get that a dealer wants to protect their inventory, but honestly that's a violation of your privacy. There ought to be a law on the books about that that the dealer, upon sale of a vehicle if not removed can be brought to suit. I'm not stating this is malicious on the dealers part, but you...
  9. More HP: Anyone install a JB4?

    Thanks Terry, as an end consumer and enthusiast I have used the JB4 product in a past BMW N55 based vehicle with wonderful success. That said, I'm thankful that there's products such as JB4 and OTT that want to provide an increased level of performance out of an "everyday" truck such as our new...
  10. Joining Taco Family (along with couple of newbie questions)

    Congrats and welcome. I wouldn't sweat the 4WD system issue. I'm sure the truck is fine. As for the oil change thing, well perhaps you might have come across one of my posts. I'm pretty anal about oil changes, especially early on in a motors life. Just because I'm crazy about oil changes means...
  11. Is my trans beginning to fail?

    That's unfortunate, I'm sorry to hear that. I dont want to bash Toyota specifically, but as a whole it sure seems that quality across all manufacturers has dropped, significantly. I'm pretty sure cost savings are applied across manufacturing processes, everywhere and anywhere possible. After all...
  12. Is my trans beginning to fail?

    If were taking about the same thing, I believe that's the fuel injectors, but dont hold me to it, but that's my feeling. I have noticed as I have accumulated more miles on the truck now, that sound I believe your referring to has diminished quite a bit. Although I'm typically not "into the...
  13. Is my trans beginning to fail?

    I'll throw my two cents in for color. Mine is under the TSB, although the tranny has been behaving well for me with about 18.5k on the truck now. I have noticed that this tranny seems to shift, well -- not rough, but a little heavy when the tranny is cold. Once warmed it's a smooth as glass...
  14. Superficial comparison look at Tacoma vs 4Runner TRD Pro (materials, build quality, feel, paint)

    Thanks for your observation @james cole. Appreciate the update. I was wondering the differences myself. Not that I know much other than a handful of Toyotas I owned in the late 90's, I've not had any other experiences since so I was curious. I owned a '96 Tacoma with that 4.3 v6 and 5 speed...
  15. Anyone else’s A/C absolute garbage at anything under 25mph?

    Mine is ice cold, and I live in phoenix to boot. I can say for sure it has worked beautifully for the last year. It's first summer with me (last May) we had 118 degrees for over 100 days, and it was fine the entire time. Worth a visit to the dealer.
  16. Interior mod - what to do with the side slot?!

    It's an odd storage cubby. I keep alcohol wipes for my glasses in there. Not sure what else to do with it. I also got a strange cubby on the dash where I guess the factory trailer brake controller sits. Since I dont have that I have a little useless box in its absence.
  17. Mod Side Mirrors to Fold Electronically?

    I'd love it if the mirrors, especially the passenger would articulate down when throwing it in reverse. My old BMW cars would do that, found it a very useful feature. Especially since I apparently have an affinity to back into spaces.
  18. My i-Force Max has an.... Alternator???

    Watching that Toyota mechanic on YouTube, "car care nut". He was reviewing the '25 4Runner and while discussing the hybrid system he stated that all of these vehicles have alternators even the hybrids. He described a situation, perhaps in the future if the hybrid system ever fails, the truck...
  19. What Happens to the Navigation feature when the subscription expires

    Yea confirmed. Mine didn't come with it, but I subscribed with it for a month. Useful, but so is my phone. Didn't prefer to get rung up eery month for a useless feature, so canceled it.
  20. Son drove the truck to school and back, apparently popped it in 4hi

    Wouldn't worry so much on that. I dont Offroad much, although I have many vast deserts around me in which to do so, but at least once a month when I know I'm gonna be driving straight for a few miles or more, I'll flip on the 4 by system just to keep things "exercised" I've noticed the front...
