Installed 4 metal cleats from a tundra. Much better than the plastic stock ones. Free too... So price was perfect

Here's what I have understanding of: Apparently, s mode isn't sport mode like you will find on usual cars. It's a shift limiter mode. Basically you can tell transmission to limit the up shifting to selected gear. This means you can force a downshift, but not an up shift. If tranny doesn't want...

Welcome aboard! Feel free to pics of the new Taco. :)

Welcome aboard... Tis a fine crowd here.

Started underdoating with Fluid Film. Sprayed two cans underneath yesterday. Picked up 3 more. We deal with road salt for about 6 months and I live right next to salt water. Also, I work on a ferry. Sometimes we have to travel to another area and we take our vehicles with us. Deck is open at...

Electrical I find simple, but yes, quite a few people have issues. As I once heard someone say: "I know how electricity works. Those wires carry smoke through them and sometimes I poke a hole in them and let the smoke out!" :cool:

This morning was tailgate raised letter install. This I really liked! Before: After:

Yesterday was custom decal install that I got from M&M Custom Vinyl:

A few days after that... Air dam comes off. Yeah, it does look better without it.

This is more of a personalization build than a off road build. Never bought the Taco for off-roading. I use it for, well truck stuff, hauling various items where a 6 foot box is needed. 4wd for me is a definite need. Mostly because of steep hills on poorly plowed winter roads. I live partway up...

I have heard this before. Some people go from busy at work to not doing anything. All this spare time and what to do? Now, myself, my work is such that I have 6 months a year off. Been like that for last 30 years so I am quite used to having ample time to do what I want. Never have I been...

I have very few. At least one is my old toyota... Rest are of various oddities. :) https://www.youtube.com/user/klxrelic

Not sure how kn filter is maintained for auto, but there is one on my motorcycle. Was there from previous owner. I have to clean it with warm water and dish liquid (or proper kn cleaner), let it dry, then oil it. Bit of a process,and it's a small filter. That's something to think about. Buying...

Personally, I think the stock filter is perfect. Unless you ride in a lots of dusty conditions and need to replace very often. Then a reusable filter becomes beneficial.
