    Load Bars

    Just got a new AREA BFE aluminum clamshell tent for the truck. It's way heavier and a lot more beefy that the OVS soft shell I've been running the last few years. I'm wondering if anyone here is running a similar tent and how do you have it mounted? I have it mounted on my RSI Smartcap with 2...

    Warped fender liners

    I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I've been hearing a tire rub the past couple weeks. Every time I would turn left I'd hear the rub. Especially turning left uphill when the suspension loads the passenger rear leaf pack. I went and checked it out and the damn plastic liner his...

    iPhone question

    So this is going to sound dumb but I need help with this. I use an Android and my wife insists on having an iPhone. My question is this. Every single time she sends me a photo she took with her phone, be it through text or email, it's all fucked up. Its blurry, can't be zoomed in on, edited...

    Why did you decide to buy a Tacoma?

    After being on here for a while and seeing all these awesome trucks. Each one having it's own purpose and personal touch. It got me thinking and wondering why each of us chose this particular vehichle. Aside from the obvious durability, what made you commit. Did you have big plans for it? Did...

    Performance Toyota IFS bolt on portal axle kit!? Late night rabbit hole find..

    The crap you find to take your money when you're surfing trying to fall asleep. Apparently there is a Russian company that developed a bolt on portal system for our trucks. They claim to have fit 37s with it. $15k for it 😯 I'll post more if I find anything else. It's getting too late.

    Maintenance Poor fuel milage after fuel pump recall work

    Has anyone who had the fuel pump recall get worse fuel mileage after the new one was installed? I had mine done today while it was in for an oil change. Fuel mileage went way down and truck seems to labor now. Acceleration is low and the truck kind of feels like it's being held back.

    Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions Taco Bar dash mount install

    The lead times for the Expedition Essentials Tacoma Tray Mount were way to long so I decided to give this company a shot. They shipped super quick and the cost was around $85 for the bar and the tablet mount. The kit comes with everything you need. They even provide a drill bit and socket end...

    Berserker M416 trailer build

    Finally finished the 416 today. Took it for a quick rip down the road to test things out. May need a little more forward weight on the tongue. Tracks well but gets a little bouncy. Could just be the asphalt ruts on this road though. Going to run my winter tires and wheels for now. Then get...

    Etrailer can eat it

    Ive been restoring and building out my M416 trailer. Everything has gone smooth until I made my first ever order through Etrailer.com a week and a half ago. All items showed "in stock" status so I felt comfortable enough to place my order. They updated it as received and in stock and processed...

    Pre-Purchase Question RSI Smart Tray

    I've been eyeballing this and am seriously thinking this is the next phase on my rig. I have always felt that the Aussie style of outfitting a truck was a bit more organized and functional. Canopy comes off and you have a functional flatbed tray. Put it back on and you have all your gear...

    Average labor cost to regear.

    So I know I've been a pain in the ass with gear swap questions. Hopefully this is the last lol. For those of you who swapped gears, what was your labor cost? I got a smoking deal on Nitro Gear 5.29s off FB market place. My plan is to drop the truck off and have them install my parts. Dropping...

    Re-gear and tune or just tune?

    I'd like to hear from people who specifically have both re geared and have OV Tune on their rigs. I already tuned the truck and I'm about to pull the trigger on gears. Do you feel both work perfectly or could you be just fine with one or the other? I have 33s, armor, gear, and RTT. After the...

    FabZone Armor

    Does anyone know if FabZone has a website? I've been wanting to checkout some of their skid plates and other stuff. Finding a website and price list has been impossible. Plenty of forum posts found about them while searching online but that's as far as it goes.

    Adjustable Remote Bypass Shocks

    I've been looking to upgrade to coilovers. I was debating on Kings or Elka. I've pretty much made my choice and I'm going with Elka coilovers. My dilemma is this. Do I really need a coilover with a tunable remote reservoir. My truck doesnt live off road but when I do wheel it I'd like to have...

    OV Tune in Ohio

    Does anyone here do OV tunes in NE Ohio or Western PA/ Nort West Virginia? Would like to get it done soon. Hopefully by someone who can also reflash after my regear is done in the spring. If there is already a OV Tune directory on here I'll try and find it. If not, maybe we can start one?

    Elka or King coilovers?

    After the big trip I've found the things to tweak and what to keep. The rig did great but I found the OME coilovers just arent foing what I need them to do. I'd like some adjustability in the front suspension and a better ride. Dont get me wrong. The OME coilovers are a great unit and...

    Swingout bumper recomendations.

    After I regear and lock the truck I'm looking to add a rear bumper with tire carrier. I'd like to stay away from having to cut the bed tho. The reason being that if I ever do sell the truck or trade it in I'd like to be able to remove it and sell it or transfer to the next rig if body styles are...

    Moab and San Juan wheeling trip

    So COVID screwed up my guiding season this year. With no hunts to guide in Alaska I figured I'd take my other two loves and get into some trouble. We put 4k miles on the truck. Left from Ohio straight for Moab. Had to take a detour due to I-70 being shutdown due to wildfire. But the drive didnt...

    2019 bed issue.

    So I've been noticing a lot of misalignment issues while working around my truck and wondering if anyone else has seen anything similar with their rig. The bed to be exact. It first started with the driver side corner bottom of the tailgate. It was there the day I bought it new and figured...

    Ring gear installation recommendations.

    So I'm starting the process of regearing my rig. I know I am going with 5.29 and ARB lockers front and rear while everything is apart. Before I start buying parts I have a few questions. Would it be beneficial to try and source and buy extra third members and just send them somewhere like east...

    DIY Camp Shower

    Was looking for camp showers and stumbled across an idea for this. Most on the market were either absurdly expensive or cheap and cant be trusted. I've tried the bag showers in hunt camps before. Cold, no pressure, dont hold much water and about as durable as wet toilet paper. This thing cost...

    Victory 4x4 bed rack and extras

    Finally got my last box of stuff from @Victory4x4 . They did a great job getting things shipped as fast as they could after being shut down for 7 weeks. Once Michugan gave them the green light they were at it hard. The rack is solid and I'm super excited to put it to use soon. Camping in the...

    STEDI Type X Sport and ditch lights

    So I ordered these a while back when the markets took a hit due to Covid. Austrailias dollar was a good exchange rates and since I had been eyeing them for a while I decided to pull the trigger. Took almost 2 months to get here. Australia Post had huge delays due to layoffs from pandemic panic...

    TPMS sensors for aftermarket wheels

    I'm getting ready to upgrade my wheels as soon as I can get this figured out. To everyone who bought new alloy wheels... what did you do for TPMS sensors? I'd like to keep my steel wheels for winter weather so I will need another set for the new wheels. Which ones do I need to buy or are they...

    All terrain 6 or 8 ply

    Does anyone out there have a suggestion on a good all terrain in a 6 or 8 ply, C or D load range for a 16in wheel? If so, what are you running on your truck? I'm used to driving a F250 and 10plys. I just slapped a set of 235/85r16's on my Taco and it rides like crap now. The OME lift felt like a...

    Front end clunking noise

    I have 1200mi on the truck now. And its developed a clunk noise in the front passenger side. It started as a low full clunk when I would take off while making a left turn. Now it's any time the truck rides over a bump or a dip. Especially if turning left over a dip or bump. It seems to be...

    Hubcentric wheel adapters

    So I found a set of wheels I really like for the truck. My big concern however is that the center bore on these aftermarket wheels is 112.1mm. The stock CB is around 106. My question is... has anyone used a set of concentric spacers to keep things in line and where exactly can I find a set for...

    Berserker__taco build thread

    Figured I'd start a thread to keep track of my build as it progresses. 2019 Tacoma SR First mod was a ARB Summit Bumper. A couple weeks into owning the truck the paranoia of driving my rural roads in October got the better of me so I purchased the bumper to protect the truck from all the...

    Factory Fog Light Wiring

    So I just installed a ARB Summit Bumper on my 2019 SR. It came with fog lights but my base model Taco didnt have them. It's already wired for them but the wiring just ends at the plug behind the grill below the hood latch. Does anyone know where I can buy the "Y" connector wiring that goes from...

    New here!

    Back in the Taco scene after 10yrs. Sold my 1985 and regretted it since. Just bought a 2019 SR and will be building out over time. Looking forward to seeing what's on here.
