As the title states I bought a taco and didn’t do enough research. Now I’m wishing on the 14 inch screen. What route has anyone taken to install one? I’m leaning oem as the android screens look a bit cheesy. My truck is a non Jbl so I understand I have to find a non Jbl 14 inch unit. Any helpful feedback is appreciated thanks!!!
Hey guys, new here and first post on Reddit. I am the proud owner of a 3rd gen pro, and have been loving every second. I’m coming from a FZJ80 so this thing feels like a spaceship. I unfortunately have been losing the TRD letter out of my hubcaps and am now up to three wheels that look like hockey players. Does anyone have a part number for the plastic letter insert? I’ve seen full caps online but figured there’s a better option. Anything helps!
First and foremost, a.d.d. sucks.
I am trying to decided between the Sport and the off-road for months now.
80% of my driving will be on-road but we tend to go to the mountains a lot, especially for snowboarding. I don't plan to go off-roading much besides camping near dirt roads. I have no intentions on taking the truck into places I should not be. My main concern is the "what ifs" while going into the mountains to snowboard. Would the Sport be fine with a set of Blizzaks? Or would the off-road be a good choice, especially just in case we get into the "OH SHIET" moments? I consider myself a careful driver. Also, saving $4k sounds nice too. I just do not want it to be overkill, but I also want to keep the family safe driving in winter conditions in Colorado.
Thank you for any advice in advance.
I’m trying to figure out the best rear suspension setup for on / off road use that can perform decent with 0-1000lbs in the bed. I’m going with a 6112/5160 shock setup. But wondering what to do with the current 60k mile leaf packs.
I was thinking a medium weight leaf pack with sumosprings or airbags. However I’ve heard some people really don’t like how they ride and it limits articulation.
I know if I go too heavy with a leaf pack it will ride like a cement truck when it’s not loaded.
In the land of compromise are there any combos that could potentially suit my needs?
Trying to identify the cause of this noise. Wheel bearing? Brake box? Sounds like it’s a rotating component.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for new door seals for my 2015 double cab?
For context I got this 21 Off road Tacoma about 2 years and all that I’ve done performance wise was add a lift, wheels, and tires. My MPG went from 18 city, 21 highway all the way down to 13 or 14 city, 16 highway.
Trying to get better mpg and I think it’s my new tires to be honest, if I Got the NITTO Recon tires it would be better. If I possibly add the TRD or any new Cold air intake it MAY help, idk.
Tires:
NITTO Ridge Grappler A/T 32”- LT275/ 70R17
Lift:

🇨🇴💔 EN MEDIO DEL DESASTRE POR EL TERREMOTO EN COLOMBIA, UNA TOYOTA HILUX SALE DE LOS ESCOMBROS PRÁCTICAMENTE INTACTA. 🚙💪
🌎 El pasado 10 de agosto de 2026, un devastador terremoto de magnitud 7,4 sacudió el occidente de Colombia, con epicentro cerca de San José del Palmar, en el departamento del Chocó. El sismo, ocurrido a las 7:34 de la mañana, provocó una enorme destrucción y afectó gravemente a ciudades como Pereira, Cali, Manizales y Armenia, dejando cientos de víctimas, heridos y miles de viviendas e infraestructuras dañadas.
🏚️ En medio de esta tragedia, también han aparecido historias que, sin quitarle gravedad a lo ocurrido, muestran pequeños momentos de esperanza. Una de ellas tiene como protagonista a una Toyota Hilux que quedó atrapada dentro de su propio garaje después de que parte de una edificación se derrumbara sobre ella.
🚙 La camioneta terminó prácticamente oculta entre concreto, ladrillos y otros restos de la estructura. Sin embargo, una parte del cielo raso habría formado una especie de barrera, evitando que los elementos más pesados cayeran directamente sobre la Hilux y protegiéndola de un impacto mucho mayor.
🧱 Después de retirar cuidadosamente los escombros, los rescatistas finalmente lograron sacar la camioneta. Y el resultado resulta impresionante: la Hilux aparece con daños exteriores aparentemente mínimos, considerando la cantidad de material que cayó a su alrededor.
🔧 No es posible afirmar que haya quedado completamente intacta ni que no tenga daños mecánicos sin una inspección técnica. Pero verla salir de aquel garaje después de semejante colapso resulta, como mínimo, sorprendente.
💪 Y quizá por eso esta imagen ha generado tanta reacción: porque una Toyota Hilux siempre ha construido parte de su reputación alrededor de ser un vehículo fuerte, resistente y preparado para condiciones extremas. En esta ocasión, la camioneta parece haber encontrado una manera de salir adelante cuando todo a su alrededor se vino abajo.
🇨🇴 Pero más allá de la camioneta, lo verdaderamente importante sigue siendo Colombia y su gente. Este terremoto dejó una profunda herida, con familias que perdieron seres queridos, hogares y todo aquello que habían construido durante años.
❤️ Si algo representa esta imagen, que sea la resistencia y la capacidad de levantarse después de una tragedia. Una Hilux entre los escombros puede ser una imagen poderosa, pero la verdadera fuerza está en los colombianos que, incluso en medio del dolor, siguen ayudándose, rescatando, reconstruyendo y tratando de salir adelante.
🙏 Fuerza, Colombia. Que puedas volver a levantarte de entre estos escombros. Un abrazo enorme a todos los afectados por esta tragedia.

Anyone have a similar setup?
Hey everyone, hoping some Tacoma owners can help me track down a weird noise on my 2012 Tacoma PreRunner V6 2WD.
The truck makes a loud whooshing / airplane-like noise that usually starts around 45 MPH. The strange part is that it comes and goes while driving — whoosh, quiet, whoosh, quiet.
Here’s what I’ve noticed:
Starts around 45 MPH
Mostly follows vehicle speed
Gets noticeable when I’m on the gas / accelerating
When I let off the gas, the sound gradually fades away
Seems like it’s coming from the front/engine area
Truck otherwise drives pretty smoothly
I originally suspected the fan clutch, so I replaced it. The old clutch definitely seemed questionable and the cold-start fan roar changed, but unfortunately the 45+ MPH noise is still there.
I’ve also checked the driveline/U-joints. There is a little movement, but it feels more like a rubbery movement rather than obvious metal-on-metal play. I haven’t seen any torn/cracked components around it.
Someone recently suggested it could possibly be the differential, so that’s something I’m looking into next as well.
Has anyone with a 2nd-gen Tacoma experienced something similar?
I’m especially wondering about:
front wheel bearings, driveshaft/U-joints, differential, transmission, or anything else that could make a speed/load-dependent whooshing or airplane noise.
Any specific tests I can do in the driveway or while driving to narrow it down would be appreciated. I’d rather diagnose it properly instead of continuing to throw parts at it.
Thanks!
I've been thinking about getting a set of Method bead grip wheels for my Tacoma soon, but had one person tell me their family member got a set for his truck, and the wheel got a hairline crack when offroading, and wouldn't hold air anymore. He said after looking into it, he's heard many other people having the same problem. I've been looking online and can't find anything about cracking wheels, mainly just tire shops having trouble mounting tires or removing tires. So my question to people who've actually owned these wheels, have any of you ever had a wheel crack when offroading?
Recently decided to install an ARB Summit bumper on our 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD OR and wanted to keep use of the factory LED fog lights and adaptive cruise control.
The stock ARB fog light buckets only fit ARB's halogen headlights and I didn't want to take a step backwards in brightness/adjustability.
I also went cheap on the winch with a Harbor Freight Apex winch but the stock contactor cover was not just ugly but also huge. Fired up Fusion360 again and designed a low profile box that would keep the bulk water/spray off the contactor and electronics while letting it fit under the steel flat plate to make sure the cruise control would continue to work.
Printed out of PETG just to keep prototyping costs down (went through a few revisions each) but final versions printed in PCTG-CF
Don’t know what to title. Let me know if you guys know any cool logging roads in Oregon
I was removing my OEM base receiver hitch, but after taking the first bolt completely out, the bracket shifted under tension and now the second bolt is totally stuck/bound up.
As you can see in the picture, the holes are completely misaligned. I can't even get the first bolt back in by hand because it’s jammed so hard, and I can't force the bracket back into alignment to free the second bolt.
Any tips or tricks to get these holes realigned and free up the stuck bolt without stripping the threads? Appreciate the help!
I have a 2011 Tacoma v6 with about 115k earlier around 35-40 it was slightly lurching when barley pressing the gas, if I let off it or pushed though it, it felt fine. I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows what’s happening it was also doing it around 50 once too
