  1. You see things & say naw would never happen to me ... well

    Federal law aside, your statement should be corrected to say something like your own phone, or people who don't configure them well. We don't all have poorly configured devices, some of us use the generalized vs detailed location settings, and some of us also do a good job with settings like...
  2. Softopper Install with front bed rail

    FYI, It's not the Softtopper brand, but this reads like another scenario where Fas-Top designs are better. In addition to no others having the tonneau and soft top all in one, the Fas-Top front has velcro attachment to the tonneau cover. If you have the topper down or out of the bed, the velcro...
  3. Intake Power Gain Comparison (Factory, Banks, SXTH, K&N) — Same Truck, Day, Dyno, Surprising Results

    My thoughts are.... -I don't drive set in 4th gear with 91 octane except for rare moments. -I'm not seeing how these address air filters catching particles important for my varied use. -That is a lot of money, effort and time for the gains. This stuff seems way more for hobbyists or small...
  4. First Toyota Purchase

    Enjoy it in good health! We've had many vehicles too, and so far each Toyota has been reliable, and the company has been best we've known for standing behind and supporting the products. Let's all hope that continues.
  5. Roof Racks with cross bar from Ikon Motorsports

    Good to know. It is too early to tell, but in my prep for the new Yakima stuff I sold and got rid of a bunch of old stuff and it seemed they still use same high grade fasteners, and the Landing Pad kits have the right sealant and instructions. Going from their old school to current stuff really...
  6. JBL Flex bluetooth settings for car radio

    It broadcasts like any device for pairing, but with an admittedly quick look I did not see how the in dashboard system pairing can select a different audio output.
  7. Roof Racks with cross bar from Ikon Motorsports

    For any concerns about quality and utility, at this point Yakima is shipping Landing Pads for 4th gen Tacoma so one can use SkyLine towers and their 4 families of crossbars. That's also quick release. If you go that route know the instructions have a bar spread for compatibility with other...
  8. Where Did Your Car Take You This Spring? Drop Your Best Photo

    One final round of storm and powder chasing plus ski it out into sunny and warmer weather. A day trip in mixed rain and snow to pick up a good used value on an awesome canoe - a Northwind 16 IXP with built in skid/bang plates and kneeling thwart.
  9. How much can my SR Double Cab XP / 4 x 4 with class lV hitch & 7/4 pins safely tow?

    As the other post said, it is in your owner's manual, but I also saw all the needed info when I was in a pre-sales mode. Toyota lays it all out in the Tacoma specs area, and they have the specific towing web page. https://www.toyota.com/toyotas-for-towing/ Some do their own solutions, but it...
  10. How far did you go to pick up your 4th Gen Tacoma?

    LOL between summer 2024 and now. Google Maps shows the freeway trip to the dealer was 45.9 miles, and the backroads or 2 lane 55 MPH speed limit trip home was 44.8. My Tacoma was in essence meeting it when it arrived and no one else had ever driven it except for the delivery and prep. Reading...
  11. Michelin mats / protector giveaway: What have you done to your Tacoma recently?

    It was not on purpose but I let it get a lot of hail damage. A smile in it was the insurance adjuster thanking me for not being like most of the pickup truck owners he'd already dealt with who take it a bit too seriously. Accidents happen.
  12. Name Something Your Truck Hauled That Made People Stare

    Our daughter? My wife? There have been funny moments. Young MTB riding dudes embarrassed that chick riding fast could have been their mom. Hotel breakfasts, ski trips, a spa or pub with our daughter and the dudes realize she's with her dad.
  13. Mods that make you cringe..

    Funny. My struggles work this way. My traditional style Jeeps were a 1947 and 1977 so fundamentally different from what the market and majority owners are now. It is rather the same for pickup trucks for a guy who mostly had and has them as work tools. Clearance lights were something that were...
  14. Premium Fuel or Regular

    Getting to two years, my pickup being work/task/tow oriented, it's been rare when premium fuel was ever felt or noticed as an advantage. I've done it mostly in high payload or towing either crossing high elevation mountains or once when towing faster had a beat the clock element. On the fuel...
  15. Mods that make you cringe..

    Be comfy in your own skin and don't worry about others. Some vehicles can earn a reputation that doesn't fit the owner. I've sure caught that from the mix of what we've had. All I would worry about regarding the toddler and covers is airbag compatibility. We lost a family member in an accident...
  16. Amsoil..I am bashful to even post this...but

    Admittedly influenced by fleet and enterprise operations experience plus age I stick to a manufacturer's terms during warranty period and often beyond. Also get service performed at the dealers. It has never been any significant expense and has had times when I got coverage past warranty or the...
  17. Amsoil..I am bashful to even post this...but

    There are two kinds of snake oil. There was the 19th century folk remedy from actual Chinese water snakes where the chemistry made sense as pain relief. Then came the type that fools people. I'm sticking with the idea that a known brand of oil that meets an engineering specification is exactly...
  18. Skid plates & sliders installed -- Cali-Raised, Miller Cat, RCI and Westcott

    My wife would not be for all of that but wants me to get something to aid loading the roof rack. I'm not an actual 4x4 hobbyist but am off road a lot in a trail builder, ski area crew and bike park steward role. I wonder if that part that sticks out might be an issue. Running boards on a loaner...
  19. 12V Fuse in the Bed

    A reminder that I need to replace mine. After the problem repeated I dug in and found the culprit. The interior plug/port can use higher draw accessories. For example, a compressor I used needs a 10A fuse and doesn't blow that inside the cab.
  20. lifted Tacomas getting insurance cancelled Torque News reports

    Update: I looked at the firms covering our home/auto and umbrella, my business, and some popular carriers not mine. Mine Acuity, is much like the popular Geico, Allstate, State Farm, and Progressive. Disclosure is required for all of them. They address the modifications with CPE (custom parts &...
