    High mileage oil

    Question... if I switched back to reg 5w30 (non-high mileage version), would this damage my engine? Only reason I ask, is because the high mileage version costs little more.

    High mileage oil

    I used rp 5w-30 high mileage and I have no issues what so ever. And I started using it at 160k. Just personal pref for me

    2018 Tacoma engine noise!! Annoying

    Well you have to understand that the 05 was the first gen with the 4.0l so it had issues like the head gasket problem. Obviously this was fixed in the later 4.0l models. Take it from me, I have an 08 with 240k and drive it very hard, and she runs like new.

    2018 Tacoma engine noise!! Annoying

    Yeah look it up man, it’s a big issue. Exact same problem has happened to most owners of the 05 4.0l taco owners. Ever wonder why 05 tacos are generally cheaper than most other years?

    2018 Tacoma engine noise!! Annoying

    Problem with the 05’s they had one problem. One very big expensive problem... Head gasket failure and loss of compression (usually cylinder 6). I witnessed this on my friends 05 taco last month, and she only has 150k on her 4.0l. I would never buy an 05 and I pity anyone on this forum who owns...

    2018 Tacoma engine noise!! Annoying

    Why I’d never buy a 3rd gen. Can’t beat the reliability of the 4.0l’s.... except those 05’s, those 05’s were junk.

    Re-gear with 33”s

    My gas mileage is complete **** with those 33”s. How much would you guesstimate I’d get if I re-geared?

    Re-gear with 33”s

    I wanna regear my 2nd gen taco. I have 33”s but I have no idea how regearing works. Has anyone on here re-geared with 33”s? And if so was it worth it? And was there any performance difference?

    Best Air Intake & Where To Buy

    Guess what, you have an external intake on your Tacoma, therefore you already have a cold air intake. Boom just saved you 350$.

    Supercharger advice

    So now a days it’s almost impossible to find a TRD supercharger anywhere since Toyota discontinued it, but URD and Magnuson makes some. My question is, are they CA legal to pass smog, or is there any other brands I should be aware of? Their website seemed ambiguous about the whole CA legal part
