Three in a row? Sure why not. Tacoma owners tend to be outdoorsy types. That's why we get the big aftermarket support like the Broncos and Jeeps. With many owners having hobbies like camping, overlanding, kayaking, mountain biking, ect, it's safe to say they are often off the beaten path. My...

An easy product that could be 3d printed, is air damn delete plates. Many, if not most, of the 4th gens come with an absolutely hideous chin spoiler that would make Jay Leno squeamish: Obviously, just about everyone takes them off. It's quick and painless but it does leave some loose fabric...

Another idea, but I'm not sure of the market, is an aftermarket grille. I don't know how popular it would be, it's just something I really want. Most guys want the Pro/Trailhunter grille and light bar for that extra agressive look. I want the opposite. See Toyota, like most manufacturers like...

Most would probably agree seat covers first if you have base seats. The reason? Toyota in all their wisdom decided that the base seats, and only the base seats needed to be two tone. They are "boulder" (light gray almost white) and black. They do not match any exterior colors other than gray and...

The only difference to the transmission itself 4hi-4lo is overall rpm. Same can be said in lower gears. The higher the rpm at the input shaft, the higher volume fluid the pumps gonna push. The transmission can regulate itself using solenoids for pressure, but not volume of flow. Also, the mo If...

Wireless tire inflators suck. Most of them don't have the cfm to get a tire inflated when the seals been compromised, no one ever just has them on the charger ready, and most have a built in battery. For that reason, I use a corded inflator. While Milwaukee has an inflator with a replaceable...

Got off work this morning, had to drive all the way home to get new contacts (one fell out) then all the way back into town. That's about an hour of driving for me, all just to do a damage assessment on the wifes car: For those keeping score at home; Deer: 1 Corolla: 0 Now just...

Hey now, some of us are married. I could use some soliciting.

Personally I'd like to see interior accents, but not all the stickers and junk on the market. One thing that sort of bugs me about these trucks is every interior is the same. They're all black with just some little colored trim bits. All seat options were also black, with the exception of the...

So I'm not familiar on how the dual beam lights work without a proper diagram. But, here's a really good diagram that explains the basics of how 90% of basic 12v circuits work: Most aftermarket accessories use a Ford style 5 pin relay like this. You can build your own circuits to power most...

It would be nice if it had a proper wiring diagram. Since I'm not familiar with your specific kit, I can explain the basic concept. When wiring accessories, the relay holds the actual load of the circuit. The switch simply triggers the relay. Any accessory that pulls more than 5 amps typically...

That would just require changing the switch power source. Instead of using constant power, you would need to switch to keyed on power. If you are using an add-a-fuse then just use a test light to find a circuit that only has power when the truck is running. BTW, if you do go to keyed on power...

Nah, you just didn't use enough water. There's a tipping point where there's enough water the low voltage can't transmit through it and it starts helping just keep things cool. It's like when you drink salt water, you just gotta drink enough of it that it the delicious water out weighs the salt...

If I ever came across and found those "suitcase" connectors anywhere on my brand new truck I'd cuss the dealer out and make them buy me a brand new replacement harness or file a lawsuit to have one installed. Those are by far the most detrimental way you can possibly make a wiring connection...

The under hood pad is actually factory on some Tacomas, just not all. Limiteds all got one for example. It's a cost saving thing.

I've gotten 24mpg a few times. All depends on conditions, and speed. At 75mph, even on flat ground you're not gonna get there. I achieve it with mostly highway driving on flat ground not interstate as I live out of town. The reason it seems like manufacturers are inflating their numbers is...

What did I tell you bout leavin' the shop before that exhaust is finished?

I'm not a body guy, but I'm pretty sure that's standard for painted plastic trims. I think something about the additional plasticizers effects the overall finish.

Most any plastic is printable with the right paint and prep work. But as Benny stated it would be easier to buy them painted if you're looking to color match. Otherwise a good scuff and shot of bedliner will resemble the textured finish if that's what you desire.

Look, just because it went to Sema doesn't mean anything. Infact that's one of the main reasons they closed to the public and went to "press only". The vast majority of "builds" are incomplete, hacked together and frankly hot garbage. Memes have started there, with social media guys having...
