you wont know I'm here. Just the glow from my cig

You know I got the Off Road instead of the Sport (hood Scoop). I was really torn because I wanted the hood scoop as well. I rationalized my decision of getting the Off Road based solely on the rear locker. That rear locker is worth it for resell, and to add an aftermarket one is $$$. I like the look of the black handles and chrome bumpers so that didn't bother me so much either. It wouldn't cost that much to get a new hood, you might even find someone to trade you. As far as options, I would skip the upgraded stereo and go aftermarket. The stereo's leave a lot to be desired, regardless of which one you get you will be wanting more. After that there is not a whole lot of available options really. The packages are well equipped. Get a bed mat, and door sill plates right off the bat. Don't get the upgraded floor mats either, get the included ones and buy some weather tech's. Hope that helps!

 

Dude tell me more! What year Frontier did you have and what was it that made you jump ship?

 

That does help, Thank you!

 

cool

but after you jump ship, you too will have the engine tick

Check out this thread. I even comented on it. Eairlier this week...I was about to jump ship, due to my truck having to many issues in to short of time. The Toyota dealer was going to give me $14K for my truck, then went to the nissan dealer, they were going to give me back every penny I spent on it! All $17,500! Or hook me up with a bumper to bumper warrenty for super cheep. (which is what I am going to do)

Any way check this thread out, The funny thing is how many people say there motor tick's!
What do you DISLIKE about your Tacoma? - Tacoma World Forums

LOL! Look at you, doing your home work! Can I ask what you do for a living?

Well you did miss at least 3 threads with me changeing my mind. The Toyota dealer said the would give me $17K for my truck only tords a new one. Which was the only thing holding me back when I fist when to jump ship. Now that they will give me $17K, I can justify the jump.

Yeah, what is the short version of the "tick" I'm not so sure I could live with that. Exactly how loud is that tick? Does it happen all the time? And there must be a fix for it.

Edit: that warrenty thing fell though. It was NOT super cheep. It was an extra $110 per month. Shit, that would put me at the monthly price of a new one. It would be a bad move to do that.
So now I'm back to just gett'en a yota

 

good luck w/ the future truck

 

WTF? thats it? thats all you can tell me? oooooh, I get it. Your a secret agent! Thats how you knew about the threads on clubfrontier! LOL! J/K, don't wanna blow your cover!

So any way no info on the tick? Should I just serch it?

 

Searching is a tool that a lot of people don't seem to know about here...

Always nice to see another taco owner.

 

so when the 2011's come out and they are the same as 2010's, are you going to wait another year for the 2012's? I think you should just get one now. 2 years is a long time to wait and a long time to have the current body style of the truck.

 

haha
hard to tell sarcasm/personalities online dude. didn't know if you got butt hurt or were trying to return the joke. I usually lurk on club frontier. used to have an 01 cc 4x4 and considered buying an 05+ fronty but after comparing the two...ended up w the tacoma. no agent here...just bored at work and usually lurk my 4 daily forums haha

the tick....mine is annoying but i need to take it in and see if it will be covered through the TSB for the manifolds. there is a write up by chris4x4 that has seemed to work for a few people, but it was no bueno for me.

 

paul
wtf is up man? long time

 

school is owning my life right now. I just lurk the forums now but thats about it. im procrastinating doing thermodynamics homework.

 

No, I would not at that point. Once there is more legit info on what the new tacos will look like the trigger will be pulled. I can not live with my nissan that long! LOL!

LOL! Glad you see my sarcasm! Def just J/K. Thanks for the info tho!

 

you have been PM'ed

 

FYI the tick is not valve or anything bad.. it's annoying yes, but nothing that will cause anyuthing to fail

and there is a fix that reduces the sound significantly (add a washer)

 

Jordo, this MAY or MAY NOT give us a glimpse of the new tacoma boy style when it comes out. But here is the redesigned 4Runner.

Hood scoop is nice but there are 2 kinds of taocs. SPORT and OFF ROAD sport comes with hood scoop match colored painted bumpers and bunch of other goodies BUT Off Road comes with an E-locker which makes it great if you off road but no hood scoop sorry. I have a sport but would trade it for an off road.

 

LOL! yeah, thats the one that I found useing google. That lets ya 0. Who knows what that will look like.

 

Honestly I hope the Taco looks nothing like that
