Hey everyone — Rob here from @SmokyMtnTaco 👋 I just finished installing the Auxbeam Vibrant Series RGB Rock Light Kit on my 2025 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter, and this one turned out clean. No drilling. No splicing. Just magnetic mounts, Toyota’s factory prewired AUX 3 switch, and power...

Good question Interesting thought, I'm going to need to investigate this. I was following the the approach I've used on my 3rd gen, the many times I've had it off. At the very least you'll need to remove that lower dash cover with those 8mm bolts. I'll take a look and I may have to make...

So Toyota gave us AUX 1, 2, 3, and 4 prewired switches — which is awesome… but let’s be honest, they’re pretty boring out of the box. I decided to do something fun about it. 😎 I pulled AUX 2 and replaced it with a Sasquatch switch that now controls my Auxbeam driving pods, and swapped AUX 4...

Nice!

Hey everyone — Tacoma thefts are getting worse, and thieves are using some pretty advanced tricks to do it. They’re not breaking windows anymore… they’re using relay boxes, CAN bus injections, and OBD port hacks to steal trucks in under two minutes — even with the keys sitting safely inside...

Hey guys, One of the biggest questions I keep hearing is: “How in the world do you jumpstart a Tacoma Hybrid?” The 12V battery is hidden under the rear driver’s seat — not exactly easy to access when you’re stuck. I just dropped a video showing the fast and safe way to jumpstart any...

Hey everyone, I finally ditched the OEM bed mat on my 2025 Tacoma Trailhunter — and let me tell you, I should’ve done this Day 1. The OEM mat slid around like crazy (even in a car wash), and the cheap Amazon tailgate mat I tried made the truck look like I glued a rubber shower mat to it. Total...

Hey everyone, Took the new 2025 Tacoma Trailhunter out this week and things got a little… messy. Ended up completely buried in 2 feet of mud 😬. Luckily, I had Maxtrax boards on deck and the Trailhunter’s power did the rest. I filmed everything with the drone — so you get the full view of how...

I'd like to see one for a high lift jack. Here's my install/review of the OEM 6ft bed MOLLE Panels From Toyota:

This run was supposed to be a quick recon in the ’24 Tacoma Trailhunter — just a little taste of Dick’s Creek in Unicoi, TN. Instead… I left with soaked boots, a Tacoma covered in real trail scars, and a drone still stuck in a tree. Dick’s Creek was running deep, and I got to see firsthand how...

Just dropped a new video on my YouTube channel SmokyMtnTaco where I take my 2025 Tacoma Trailhunter up Stone Mountain (elevation 3,606 ft) deep in the Cherokee National Forest near Cocke County, TN. This trail is no joke after a heavy rainstorm — rated a 2–3 on difficulty, with steep rocky...
