    How were you able to buy a Tacoma

    Ok, all this financial advice and all this commotion about who paid what and all that is crap. Everyone is different... I bought my 05 for $9500 with a supposedly bad transmission. A $12 teflon shifter puck and 30 minutes and it was back on the road, I've put 160k on it trouble free. My son...

    Wow beware 2005 Tacoma owners with rough, mis-firing engine at startup,

    Mine just started doing it on the 05...300k on it. It's not common. I am redoing the timing chain and both gaskets while I have it apart.

    Whining transmission?

    The 6 speeds (05-17) are notoriously loud due to the throwout beating assemblies being poor quality. The only cure that I have found is to replace them with new, but in 20k Miles the rattle/howl will be back... On the 5 speeds, the whine is caused by two things; input shaft bearing or pocket...

    TRD cat back exhaust

    I have it. Sound only. Might be a wee bit but you need to add headers to get any real change.

    Lifts without cutting cross member

    Along whippersnapper's lines, more than 3" is a constant battle with CV boots. The most you can do with the stock configuration is 3". At 3.5" I am changing boots about every 5000 miles or so as they tear due to the rub in the boot itself. The CVs themselves can handle the angle fine, with the...

    Towing question?

    Ditto on WS statement. Most people, after they load their gear, exceed the limit. So if your at 5200 lbs, do NOT load truck and trailer up and exceed the gross combined weight rating (gcwr) or gross combined vehicle weight (gcvw). One or the other is listed on your door tag.

    Vibration in Steering Wheel

    Tho I am sure you have done all suggested, I had the same issue on my 13. Go to your best tire shop and have the tires road balanced rather than spin balanced. This adjusts the imperfections in the tire to the entire wheel assembly. Cured it. And I have to do it every set of tires I put on.

    ABS traction control Problem

    I am having a weird problem with the ABS. Under hard cornering, the traction control is grabbing the outside brake and applying it, flashing the traction control light. And it happens in either leafy or right turn. Now I drive my truck hard in the corners, but I fear one day this may cause a...
