    Performance Chips gentlemen ?

    195 HP! That would be a 122% increase in power on my Tacoma :) I’ll take two, plus whatever bridges they are selling.

    Tires

    I picked up a set of Falken Wildpeaks in 265/75/16 a little while back. Damn great tires for the price (so far, we will see how long they last). Got one good snowfall after I bought them and they performed great. Very good in the rain as well and pretty low road noise for a AT tire.

    New windshield

    About $250 for a good one. I did it last year. Lots of companies do them for around $100 or less, but from my experience they don’t last (had a Titan where the first windshield lasted 4 years, ever cheap replacement after that maybe lasted 1 1/2 years). I believe PGW (Pittsburgh Glass Works)...

    Chrome painting tips?

    What year? Rather than sand it, have a body shop sand blast it, then prime and paint to match. It will last much longer that way. Other option if it is a 2nd gen, find a bumper from a SR package model Tacoma in your color (my 2015 has a color matched super white bumper).

    Tacoma’s at war....

    Military Intelligence is an oxymoron. I thought the stuff I saw over there was insane, but after 11 years with the DoD as a civilian I’ve seen and heard **** that would blow your mind :)

    Tacoma’s at war....

    Same to you. Honestly, we only ran indirect fire for the first two months of the war, spent the rest of the time either kicking in doors or running recon missions with our Cav scouts. There was “concern” that our 120mm mortars could cause too much collateral, so it took a 2 Star to authorize...

    Tacoma’s at war....

    I rolled around for about a week in a Hilux with 10th special forces group while I was deployed to Iraq (2003-2004). They had a number of Hilux, Tacoma, and Frontier pickups they had acquired and lightly modified to keep a lower profile than zipping around in HMMWV’s. They were fun, but suck...

    Wierd sound

    Is there anything plugged into the OBDII port? I have an “Automatic” car monitor plugged in mine which links to my phone and makes a soft beep whenever I brake too hard or accelerate too fast as a warning that I will not be getting optimal mileage as a result (I turned that **** off!). Maybe...

    Cold Air Intake suggestions

    Paper filters do a great job...until they don’t ;) You’re right though, keep a bunch on hand, and change out often. They are cheap enough and give better performance than any of the reusable options. I buy Fram paper filters off of Amazon for around $10 a piece and either change them every oil...

    Frame rust settlement 2005-2010

    Really? Any pics of your ‘15? I’m curious since my 2015 doesn’t seem to have any more surface rust than I would expect (though I don’t live in an area with harsh winters anymore, but they do overdo it with the salt at the slightest hint of snow or ice here in Northern VA).

    Max tire size for my yota.

    My bad, it was my first bookmark on the subject (sometimes I forget where I am lol!). There are a ton of threads, and I just was researching it for the tires I put on this weeks for my Taco. Sorry for crossing the streams!

    Seat covers

    I have Wet Okole and love them. About three years of heavy use and they still look great.
