    I just ordered my new tires.

    I am definitely "overly careful" when it comes to pulling the trigger on things so I really investigated the Hell out of tires before I placed an order. That is just the way I am!:whistling2: My priorities were, great on wet roads, fine on off road conditions such as occasional excursion...

    Rubber trim around fender flairs.

    No way, that stuff holds to tight! One needs something that will flex somewhat with the body/flair movements. That leads directly to the Silicone Adhesive.:yes:

    Taco Tires

    High TJ, I've been checking out tires all day on the Internet and at Discount Tire, they have loads of information that I didn't know, it was an awesome place to get a tire education. Those Cooper A3's were evidently a good choice you made. The specks look great except for the 50 K...

    Taco Tires

    It seems the GY Wranglers on my truck are sort of mixed relative to wear (not a good thing)! I guess the previous owner had some problems with them also! With the price of good tires these days I am going to be very careful getting a new set. Lets not forget we are talking about 800 to...

    Taco Tires

    Well you guys have come up with things I never thought of! I really like the bags of dirt from HD/Lowe’s idea, and God knows I have some low areas in my lawn:laughing:. I know about building a (2x4) frame and putting the weight between the wheels. I'll check out some of the tires...

    Taco Tires

    Hi Whip, I wouldn't want to use water, it's to darn unstable. I'm going to find some of those feed bags and fill two of them with about 160 lbs or so and put them about over the rear wheels in the truck bed (each side). I've run sand bags before, they work great. It's just finding them...

    Any ideas on Rustproofing new Tacoma?

    From all the research I have done, Oil soaking the frame seems to be ones best bet. No where did I find any company that would give a guarantee on there product, unless it was one of those totally ridiculous guarantees ! Fluid Film looked interesting, but I couldn't find ANY one/company...

    How long did your STARTER last?

    My starter on my 1999 started having problems at about 50 K. I checked it out on some forum back then and was told 1st gens were famous for the pts going bad. I replaced them and everything was fine right up to "FRAME RUST" ended her life. There was even a place on the Internet (do a...

    Need rear focused video camera for my Tacoma.

    Guys I need a video type camera that can be placed in the rear window of my 2001 Tacoma unobtrusively, so people can't see it. I want it to be on some type of switch so I can cut it on instantly from the dash/whatever to capture a video of what is going on behind the truck. I need the...

    Rubber trim around fender flairs.

    You are quite welcome, you did a great job. That storm I had knocked everything down I had leaning against the truck to hold things in place but evidently it had enough time to set up the silicone adhesive. It turned out perfect, no flaws or anything. Let me know how yours turns...

    Rubber trim around fender flairs.

    Yota4life, it worked, I think ! The temperature here got up to about 65 degrees, so I figured it was now are wait till next year!!! The first thing I did wrong is cut the tip on the silicone adhesive to big, so I squeezed a little bit out onto a clean piece of cardboard (about big as your...

    Worth the buy?

    Offer $11,500. on the basis it needs body work, however check out frame for rust and ask for the VIN# so you can check out past problems and maintenance. Make sure everything works as it should and if there are ANY fluid leaks find out what is leaking and the cost of fixing it.
