I've been eyeballing the RC bumper, and I think with the high mount IC and radar relocation, coupled with a similar winch mount, that IC intake our RC bumper has could be converted to work just like that. You'd get a (mostly) hidden winch that doesn't affect clearance at all, potentially with...
Most of the autos I've driven were pretty easy to pop back and forth, maybe not super healthy for the transmission and drivetrain in general, but it gets you going sometimes. That is, with the exception of the Toyotas, they have those stupid gates that keep you from shifting straight from...
I still own several. I started rock crawling with a manual before I even had a license, and continued doing so until I bought an automatic in a JK and haven't bothered looking back. There's not much of anything a manual has to offer beyond what an automatic and a foot on the brake can provide...
That sounds like pretty backwards thinking. The purpose of a ram air intake isn't to alter the air fuel ratio to get more power, it's to help get more air into the engine so you can add correspondingly more fuel to make more power. More air by itself doesn't do anything except lean your mixture...
For sure, part of the idea is to figure out an easy way to fasten the panels so I could pop them off in short order, or to cut out a removable access panel without taking the entire side panel off. Maybe even make the tray QD, so I could quickly unplug and pull the batteries out, but a fire...
Nicholson has quality steel, I always pick up broken/dull Nicholson files at secondhand stores for forging into other stuff. Grobet used to make thread files but not anymore, and they were specific to one thread pitch, those would've been the ones to get...
I still double over in back pain when I think about driving cross country in a 4runner. My taco has a roll cage that prevents the seats from reclining further than airline landing configuration, and it has a support bar running under the dash right where your knees should be. Need to address...
Dealers can request particular packages for Tacoma builds, but they are more or less at the mercy of what Toyota has already allocated for them (i.e., only so many TRD builds will be allocated), and they have to be options that are already offered with certain trims. Meaning, you can't get...
I don't think it'll be an issue. The quarter panel wouldn't be a single piece incorporated with the front fascia/bumper, because that would mean the bumper and fenders are one piece. There's likely a split right there where the side marker lights are that can't quite be made out from the pic...
There's a huge difference between a manufacturer finding reasons to void your warranty and doing something that will actually cause harm to an engine. They'd probably try denying your warranty claim if they found out you got car wax on your gas door.
I wonder if they're still planning on keeping the same buttons from the 2003 Tacoma on the bottom left of the dash, or if they'll update them to a different rectangular shape. I can't wait to find out.
I was looking at the interior rear side panels for battery storage, there seems to be enough space for the size batteries you're running and the space isn't being utilized for anything else except the sub enclosure. On the 2dr there's a lot of that space, not sure about the 4dr. Would have to...
