If your looking for a product idea, its out there already. If you hop on TacomaLifestyle's website they make a fuse cover thats prenotched so you can run wires through it for fuse taps while minimizing dust. Even have little covers for non-utilized slots.

I don't see any pit vipers in the photo?

Turbocharged engines respond alot differently to changes in load than the old FJ would have. N/A v6s in the old FJs were already underpowered and didn't get the greatest mpg because of it. Added weight and big tires on an engine that was already struggling a bit makes a smaller deviation. Prime...

To an extent that is the case. However for a metal roof you plan to sleep under, rain makes quite alot of sound. Plus, the point of the foil face to my understanding is to help with temperature transfer. I haven't gotten around to testing that in practice. Its also commonly added in car audio to...

Technically they're likely illegal in every state. All light housings have to be DOT/ nhtsa certified. Any changes to reflectors, lenses, or light sources invalidates that certification. Meaning, putting LEDs where they don't belong, HID swaps, lens covers/coatings/vinyls, painting over...

Driving habits and weight are the two biggest contributors. Rolling weight more than static, i.e. big heavy tires and wheels. On the plus side, the truck comes with an economy meter in the form of a boost guage. You can change your driving habits by monitoring the boost gauge directly. Any time...

I'd love to be an ambassador, I have plenty of rigs with aftermarket tire sizes for it, but I'm nocturnal for work so I don't have enough opportunity for pics and events to really do a company justice. So I won't bother formally applying. But I have run everything over the years from BFG KO2s to...

I would say basic interior protection should be first even if you are keeping stock or leasing. I.e. good floor liners, and screen protectors. Followed by exterior protection like mud flaps. Things that don't necessarily modify the "experience" just keep the truck nicer, longer.

Standardized wiring harness. I have no idea why Toyota has gone backwards on an industry standard like common harnesses. Manufacturers for decades have done this because it is cheaper to have a single common part for the entire line than an A la carte style. Plus it streamlines the assembly...

The reason I had my truck out back to begin with was to spend some time servicing equipment. My drive is frankly too full of vehicles so its time to downsize. Reguardless, cars and light trucks aren't the only market the Japanese are best at, there's also light duty equipment:

I'm actually a big Mopar guy, but I don't own a newer product and it would take ALOT for me to trade in my Tacoma for one. Mopars problems have always been owners and partnerships. Starting way back with Mitsubishi. They lost a solid chunk of their reputation back then by rebranding Mitsubishi...

Im picky when it comes to pics. Trucks always either dirty or the weathers shit or its too dark (I live nocturnally). So, first pic since I picked it up:

Its a necessary step in most turbocharged applications on the road to horsepower albeit a small one. Other than a tune or larger turbo, there isn't anything out there Ive seen so far that would be physically noticeable from the drivers seat. However, CAM and several other tuning companies showed...

Not my style but I can see the market. Plenty of Tacoma bros out there wear pit vipers. Might consider a partnership.

So fun fact, DI water causes rust to accelerate. I know it's sounds strange. DI water is stripped of all minerals, but water WANTS minerals and it will absorb them from anywhere it can. If exposed to bare metals it will leach from them, and if trapped in a space long enough becomes acidic. One...

Installed a tailgate liner and destickered the bed side. Next will be removing the 4x4 and Tacoma badges on the doors. Anyone done those yet? Just wanna triple check that they are just adhesive on and there are no holes underneath.

Very few things trigger an OCD like response from me. Opening doors to a different color is probably #1. Vinyl/PPF/wrap cars can look great. Especially with graphics, color combos, and even straight up images on cars that cannot be duplicated with paint. But as soon as the door opens on a green...

Something to keep in mind with that train of thought, the 1/2-3/4-1 ton markers are meaningless and have been for decades. Due to government regulations with cafe standards, and safety standards specifically, all cars and trucks are getting both bigger and heavier. In trucks this translates to...

Ill keep my truck forever. I don't have any plans to ever trade it in. Unless Toyota comes out with a Dark Green. I like the bronze, but I settled for it. I waited years for a decent green but finally just caved and settled for Bronze. The GR86 has an optional green I would have bought...

You've bought a inaccurate tester. No battery would survive dropping that low.
