    The best mod for your Tacoma is another, smaller Tacoma

    That’s really cool! Is that a 1/10 scale? I would love if they made a 1/24

    Manual shift knob

    I use the 2nd Gen Taco TRD Pro shift knob, part # PTR26-35060. It looks great and feels even better.

    First 4x4 ever

    i wanted the same preload on both sides instead of having to compensate with the tacolean. that’s just the info I was able to gather from this forum anyways.

    TRD skid plate Hardware

    Good afternoon everyone. I recently had work done which required the skid plates to be removed. The shop could not get last two bolts to thread and suggested I buy longer hardware since I have RCI tranny skid that is sandwiched between the TRD engine skid. Well, longer bolts would also not...

    What’s under your hood?

    Can‘t wait to see this 1UZ taco in action! your 1st gen with the 3rz sounds sick btw! Is it turbocharged as well? Also, are you planning to do dual cases on your 3rd gen since you can’t use the taco box?

    Reference Ask a beginner question, get a serious answer!

    you'll be totally fine. I have the GFC superlite on my prinsu cab rack, not on a bed rack or camper shell. there is quite a bit of overhang in front and in the back. holds up great even after washboard roads. you can check out pics of how mine is mounted on my profile.

    First 4x4 ever

    decided to do the “viper cut” on my front bumper. used a dremel and cleaned it up with some edge trim. I’ll be joining the DirtNation boys on a training clinic at Gold Mountain in Big Bear to learn some rock crawling techniques and figured I can use some extra clearance in front.

    TRD off road vs TRD pro

    the PRO will come with the sunroof regardless. OR it's an option.

    TRD off road vs TRD pro

    you can get a manual in a TRD sport (access cab or double), OR (just double) and PRO (just double) for the 2022 model year. I want to say they made OR access cabs in stick in '16 -'18. my 2020 OR is manual

    TRD off road vs TRD pro

    only thing different from my OR and a PRO are the hood scoop, suspension, and tacky TRD letters on the head rest. got a better suspension than the PRO and still came out way way cheaper. plus they never made the PRO in quicksand.

    Manual Transmission Issues??

    Thank you so much! I have taken in my truck twice already regarding this issue and all they did both times was slap a bunch of grease on it and never replace anything. The grease only stops the squeaking for a few months. I noticed it only goes up to 2019, i hope they cover my 2020. it’s the...

    Manual Transmission Issues??

    experiencing the same as OP. My 2020 OR makes more a clunking noise rather than a grind from shifting to1-3. Shifting from 4-6 is smooth. My clutch pedal started squeaking around 5k miles and they have "re-greased" twice already and the sound is starting to come back again. currently at 19.5K...
