    How to add rear lift with 5100s?

    So my truck is currently at stock height. I'm running 265/70/17s and even with some trimming, I get just a bit of rubbing when going into steep driveways and stuff. I've been thinking about getting the adjustable bilstein 5100s because I like the adjustability of the front shocks being able to...

    Bed lighting setups?

    The auxiliary light in the third brake light is great for a little light in the bed but I would like to throw some more lighting in there to really illuminate the bed. This time of year, I’m often loading up my bike and gear in the early am when it’s still dark or unloading at night. I was...

    TPMS reset?

    I recently installed 17x8.5 ray10s and 265/70/17 falken wild peaks. I had new sensors put in the new wheel/tire setup and sold the stock wheel/tire setup including the stock sensors. When town fair tire mounted the tires, they said they programmed the new sensors for my truck but also mentioned...

    Leveling with bilsteins?

    So I just did scs ray10s and 265/70/17s. With a heat gun and dremel I've been able to get pretty much all the clearance I need but I'd still like to get maybe an inch of lift in the front. I don't want a leveling kit that uses spacers and I don't want a full lift kit because honestly, I don't...

    Ray10 sizing help?

    I’m gonna pull the trigger on some ray10s when scs gets their next shipment in. I was originally thinking of doing 16s but now I think I’d rather go with 17s. I’m just not sure if I should do the 17x8.5 or 17x9. I have a trd sport dcsb and I plan on doing 265/70/17 tires, either ko2s or falken...

    What’s this noise? *SOLVED*

    I’ve recently been noticing this noise coming from the front end of my TRD Sport DCSB. The truck only has about 12k miles and it doesn’t always do the noise. The truck is all stock (for now). I realize it could be many things causing the noise but maybe others have experienced the same thing...

    Because no one likes chrome...

    I know a lot of people do the trd pro grill which I do like but I also like the ‘18+ sport grille. It’s pretty clean looking with the exception of the chrome so I replaced the chrome grill surround with the black one from the SR. Plastidip would have been cheaper but I think plastidip looks like...

    Roof height after lift and tires?

    I have a 2018 DCSB trd sport. It’s my daily driver and at some point I wanna do a mild lift/wheels/ tires. What’s the minimum lift needed to fit 285/75/16s? I don’t want more lift than necessary because it makes it that much more difficult to get my bike in the back and more importantly, I don’t...

    Maintenance message?

    I have about 9600 miles on my tacoma. I changed the oil and oil filter at around 6k miles because I like to be proactive. As of yesterday, when I start my truck there's a message coming up on the gauge cluster that says maintenance due soon. However, scrolling over to the message screen there's...

    Best mud flaps?

    I currently have the oem mud flaps on my dcsb. I’m thinking I might wanna switch to a more flexible mud flap setup. I don’t plan on doing much off-roading but I don’t want the stock ones to catch on a snowbank or something and rip off. I don’t really want universal fit ones or flaps that are too...

    Entune dropping calls

    I’ve had my Taco for about a month now and I’m having a problem with entune dropping calls. It’s happening about 75% of the time. I’ll attempt to make a call using entune and as the call is going through, the system will freeze and then completely restart. Has anyone else had this issue and is...

    Northeast OEM Toyota side steps

    My 2018 Tacoma came with oem side steps installed from the dealer. I removed them within days of getting the truck so they’re basically brand new. $450

    Remote start with phone?

    Hey guys I’m new to the taco world. I just bought a 2018 dcsb trd sport. It had a remote start already installed on it but I don’t feel like carrying around the extra keyfob. Is there any way the remote start system can be setup to use my phone? I feel like that’s a thing right lol?
