    Need pics of Access Cabs w/Westin or N-Fab nerf bars

    I'm looking to install nerf/ step bars on my Access Cab Prerunner. I've narrowed the many choices down to either Westin Signature bars or N-Fab wheel to wheel bars or Rock Rails. I'd sure like to see what my truck would look like with those bars. Anyone out there with one of those combos?

    Truck's in for 2.7 Recall

    Dropped my truck off at the dealership yesterday afternoon for the valve spring replacement. Wondered if anyone else had done it yet and if so, how long it took?

    Is there a 2014 recall?

    Yep! Bad batch of valve springs. I've been reading about it for the past month or so. I got my recall letter on Saturday. If you bought yours new in November, you ay be all right. Bought mine in August.

    20132.7 recall

    I've had my truck 3 months today. After 6 weeks we had a severe thunderstorm that blew a tree over on it which required a trip to the body shop. Yesterday I received the recall letter about the valve spring replacement. I just hope this isn't some sort of omen.

    20132.7 recall

    Don't know where pickup truck.com got their info about inspecting for pitting, but the recall letter says they will replace all valve springs.

    20132.7 recall

    I've been reading on TW about a recall for some 2013 2.7 fours because of bad valve springs. Just bought my Tacoma at the end of August, so I was afraid my truck would be included. Sure enough, I got a recall letter today. Too bad it wasn't a letter from Publisher's Clearing House.

    Tire Pressure Gauge

    Tire Pressure Gauge

    This time of year inTexas the temperature fluctuates greatly, and when it does the tire pressure warning light always comes on. Today when I was checking the tire pressure on my Tacoma and my wife's Camry I discovered that my 3 tire gauges (2 pencil gauges and 1 dial type) don't agree. They...
