    Entune/CarPlay Apple CarPlay suddenly looks different?

    From one day to another it fixed itself without me really doing anything 🤷‍♂️ a couple months ago the center screen between the MPH and RPM gave out for a day. The screen was filled with what looked like dead pixels to me but then it fixed itself. Hoping this isnt foreshadowing for electrical...

    Pre-Purchase Question Pro grille vendors

    I was thinking going with one from the dealer , if I could find one, but I watched taco garage’s comparison video and the dealer grille used double sided tape to mount the letters. Nothing wrong with that but other aftermarket grilles used bolts which I’d prefer. I think taco garage’s uses bolts...

    Pre-Purchase Question Pro grille vendors

    About to pull the trigger, finally, on a TRD pro grille for my 21 SR5 but there seems to be a lot of different vendors and websites selling them. Anyone have any recommendations or stories they would like to share, good or bad, about websites or vendors? Tacoclout seems be the least expensive...

    2021 Head Unit Slowness...

    This was after my 10 min drive home but it’s pretty much always as responsive as in this video except on start up in the mornings. I usually don’t even touch the dam thing until the truck is warmed up and I’ve pulled out of my house. So op you can compare it to how yours is working.

    2021 Head Unit Slowness...

    I have a 21 as well and I can confirm that on start up the screen is really slow and unresponsive but I always give my truck a few minutes to warm before doing anything. In the mornings I’ll usually walk away and get a things loaded up for work so I’ve learned to live with it I guess but I...

    OEM roof rack

    Where did you guys get your oem roof rack? Option from the factory? Bought from the dealer? Or an aftermarket vendor? I’ve been very interested in one.

    Reference Ask a beginner question, get a serious answer!

    I’ve been giving myself headaches these past couple weeks researching tires and it just hit me that I’m not even sure if 265/75R16 tire will fit on my stock rims. Anyone have an answer? Stock size is 245/75R16. I added a picture of my factory wheel for reference.

    I like the idea, it’ll be a place where you can share your story completely. So the best write up with the most likes wins? We’re not being judged on grammar right? Lol

    You guys interested in another forum posting contest?

    I like the idea of a contest that gets more people communicating. Number of replies would definitely have to count for something in my opinion. That can give you an idea of what posts are really helpful and informative rather than people just making random posts for the sake of the contest.

    Toyota News Toyota introduces Tacoma TRD lift kit.

    So what’s the difference between a DCLB vs a DCSB? Why would it fit the on SB on not the LB? Maybe they don’t want to install their kit on something with a little more weight?

    Spotify or Apple Music?

    I’ve used Spotify for going on six years now and it’s always been my preferred app only because it’s what I’ve always used and where all my music is, but like OP stated it’s just weird man. Spotify up until like 2 years ago was great but they’re always changing menus, interfaces...
