    Frame recall

    Headlight recall is a complete replacement of the complete headlight unit (Both sides) due to the daytime running lights overheating and having burn marks and in my case, cracks due to the overheating.. I received a notice in the mail a few weeks ago and almost didn't open it. When I did, I...

    Frame recall

    All i can say is wow, Toyota is actually stepping up and covering these issues, but providing a loaner to use! Just try and get Ford GM or Chrysler to be that accommodating. My Truck, an 05 Tacoma with 145k miles is going in soon for the headlight recall. I'm totally impressed that a 10 year old...

    NEW HEADLIGHTS from Dealer FREE!~

    RECALL! I took my 2005 into the dealer 2 days ago and mine are NOW on order. They will call when they arrive and will also do the install. They will also be the nicer upgraded units as they put in the newer Tacomas! You should have received a letter from Toyota regarding this. Both of my...

    1979 Toyota Limited Edition 4x4

    As for the truck, when or second son arrived, I was "not of sound mind" and traded it in on a new Toyora Celica GT.. Still pounding my head against the wall.. And to answer the question if all 79's were limited editions.. NO. Only the first 1089 trucks and they were all red, with chrome front...

    Why did you buy a Tacoma?

    Oh, I do miss the 8' bed on my full size GMC, so I bought a new "Big Tex" 5'x8' box trailer with a drop down tailgate. No issues pulling it full of top soil or my Polaris Quad..

    Why did you buy a Tacoma?

    Ive had several Toyota's in the past. I sold my GMC Duramax Diesel being tired of $4.50 a gallon for diesel when my neighbor offered me their 05 Tacoma for a price I couldn't refuse. I've had this one just over 1 1/2 years and love it. Only issue was front right wheel bearing. $150 took care of...

    What have you done to your Tacoma today?

    Due to the more than normal SNOW in Southern Oregon, I put my fiberglass shell back on my truck, for the added weight and better traction! Sure rides nice with it on.. I think I'll keep in on after the weather settles down!

    Snow performance

    Hmmm, strange.. I went from a GMC Duramax to the Tacoma. The GMC would get stuck in 2" of snow, yet this year, we have a foot and the Toyota is doing great! Now, the real shocker is my wifes Lincoln MKX AWD. This is our first winter with it and it will go where the Toyota slips and slides! Im...

    Sound Systems

    I did my Kenwood upgrade by calling Crutchfield.. Best prices and dash plate, wiring and tech support included.. The only thing they couldnt tell me was how to make the DVD work while the truck was in "drive".. Very simple. Just ground the wire that was to go to the emergency brake.. My system...

    NEw tires, how to keep from being stolen?

    I have a ZERO deductible on my insurance.. If they take the wheels, they also take the tires! BONUS! New wheels AND new tires.. It's a win / win as I see it. Once again, don't stress the small stuff. If they want it, they WILL get it, no matter if it's locked, unlocked, alarmed or in your...

    NEw tires, how to keep from being stolen?

    Park it in the garage.. I've had things taken off my vehicles in the past, but I have also had a truck vanish from my driveway about 25 years ago. Have your MD prescribe some XANAX and relax. This is why we all have insurance. If someone is going to swipe my wheels, I would rather they take...

    Finally Ordered

    My opinion on any paint protection a dealer sells you is, don't bother! Unless they offer some sort of guaranty it won't fade, spot, or get dull during the next 5 years. No doubt they :shutup: want a small fortune for it..:blink: Anything over $100 I would say forget it..

    Finally Ordered

    My son's 2013 Tacoma Sport Long bed.:thumbup:. All Options including JBL, NAV and the most important quote.. .. "Dad, :huh: I have to wash this black truck twice a week!". Sure looks great when it's clean! :thumbsup:

    Back in the (uncomfortable) saddle again.

    My seats are so so, but what I don't like is hitting my head getting in the truck unless I duck. Thats one thing I miss about my GMC Duramax.. Oh well..

    What about Black?

    My youngest son bought his new 2013 Toyota TRD Sport and HAD to have a Black one.. I did my bust to talk him into another color but he HAD to have Black! He bought it here in Oregon (no sales tax) and lives in San Diego (US NAVY).. Within a week of getting back to So Calif, he admitted he should...
