    Complete Engine Failure

    Im just as baffled as all of you. I've n ever had this happen to any vehicle I have ever driven. But I just rolled 8000 miles (about 3600 on the new engine) and so far so good. No issues at all!

    Complete Engine Failure

    Just got out of the dealer. The technician found water in the engine. Toyota corporate came down to look at it personally and wants to investigate the cause. From what the service writer said, they seemed very invested in this case to make sure it isn't something that will be turned into a full...

    What do my fellow 3GT enthusiasts do to support your truck addictions?

    Couldn't Stand Toyota Entune

    Its not too bad, but when I turn it up really loud and it hits hard, there is a little bit of rattle. The overall sound is louder than the rattle, so it doesnt bother me too much, but I am going to try and isolate it and see what I can do to eliminate it. I only get it inside the cab too...

    Couldn't Stand Toyota Entune

    Yes. It has Apple Car Play and Android Auto. It has the capability to connect wirelessly, but I have an LG phone. Apparently the only Android phone that supports Android wireless is the Google Pixl... which kind of sucks, but connecting the phone with a chord to get the Android Auto to work is...

    Couldn't Stand Toyota Entune

    The entire system was about $2,000.00. I went to a great local car audio place that has done a previous set up in my car and this is basically how it broke down: Pioneer head unit: $450 Alpine Amp: $430 JL stealth box: $500 6x9 and x1.5": $300 the rest was dash kit, steering wheel controls...

    Bakflip + Bed Liner Setup

    I am getting ready to get a Bakflip MX4 for my 2018 SR5 and was originally going to just get a bed mat; but recently I have been seeing more of the BedRug full bed liner and am considering buying that as well. Does anyone here have this setup? will it work? If you do have it was it a PITA to...

    Tinted Windows On Taco, What % You Have?

    There should not be any kind of extra charge for the pre-existing factory tint. The tint that comes from the factory is not a film that sits on top of the glass like what you will be getting installed; it is inside so they dont have to remove anything to install new tint. If that makes any sense.

    Couldn't Stand Toyota Entune

    After having bought the truck just about 2 months ago, I could not get over how horrible the Toyota Entune system is and how bad the stock speakers and audio controls are. I am kind pretty particular when it comes to my music and I really needed something better, so I finally got all the pieces...

    Looks awesome! I had a set for my Scion xB and I love Clazzios. They are definitely the best and that is why I want a set for my Tacoma. Is the outer gray color the dark gray or light gray?
