    Hi,

    I've been a long time visitor here @ tacoma world finally decided to join up. I bought a Silver 2003 single cab SR5 4x4 manual 4 cylinder in January of 03' after a test drive. loved that truck. It had a few issues but was solid. Had the frame replaced by Toyota a few years ago due to the rust issue along with a few other recalls.

    After a family member expressed interest in my 03... and after many weeks almost a month of searching and a 70 mile trip to a dealer that had what I was looking for I'm the proud owner of another Silver 2014 access cab 4x4 manual 4 cylinder base model w/ the convenience package. I'm loving all of the bells and whistles on the thing (especially the cruise control which my last truck didn't have) Since I don't tow anything big the 4 cylinder works out fine for me...

    I have a few questions about cleaning the interior. I have the all weather flooring and I'm curious what some of you guys use on that (cloth types, cleaners etc) as well as what you use on the dash etc.

    I have the basic entune model radio which is more than enough for me since it seem the higher end models just rely on your phone for data anyway... has anybody hacked/modded it yet?

    I plan on installing some fog lights, steps, and eventually a cover. I might install a backup camera at some point... trying to get use to the extra cab space :)

    Welcome to TW!
    I purchased Weathertecs so I am not sure about cleaning the carpets. I like Meguiars for the dash, similar to Armor All w/o all that shiny plastic sheen.
    I have an Entune JBL model and was not aware of any mods. Would love to hear of some

    I have all weather flooring (no carpet) I was wondering if anyone knows of a good way to keep it shiny and wet looking. I spend a good amount of time last night scrubbing the rubber floor mats with an old tooth brush but they still look dirty.

    loving the truck over all though :)
