K&n airfilter for 45 bucks

 

Is it just the filter element you are selling or the whole CAI?

 

Maybe a dumb question, but do you guys think this will work on a 08 Tunrda???

 

I know one way to find out.

 

Thats right, it does rub and the tailgate binds on the right side, and scratches the paint. The support cable on the left where the strut is binds up and is getting mangled...but oh well.

 

Added this one the TOC: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/lighting/60590-hella-700ff-hid-conversion.html

 

i have a 2008 and this did not work

 

wont that affect the airbags in a crash? imagine that light hitting you in the head! haha

 

this works for the 09's also. just did it. found the code on all data though

 

i did it similar but i used a 6 led interior festoon bulb that was laying around then pulled out the inner led chip, soldered the metal wires to some speaker wire, drilled a hole in back side of cup holder and sealed them in with silicone sealant, then i ran the wiring back and connected it ti the terminals on the back of my subwoofer box

this way it lights the cupholder up perfectly in sync with the bass

 

I have an '08 and it worked for me.

 

x2.

Roland,

Thanks for this detailed description. I did mine this weekend and was done
before i even opened the requisite beer. I called 1st Toyo and ordered
the part...the guy said "what year is your Tacoma?...haha...i didnt tell
him i had a Tacoma. Cool guy though, said it def. would work.

It did and i am happy.

Thanks again for the tip.

Thanks for this but unfortunately this does not work on my 09.
Is there a different sequence that does?

Thanks,
PC

Great thread btw.

 

It worked on my 09. Try it again. You have to do the steps exactlly and time has to be almost exact. It may take multiple tries.

 

hey i have read the Abs/vsc/trac mod but i cannot figure out does this work for 2010 sport models or just the offroad? sorry if this is dumb im a noob. i took my brand new truck out to play in the snow today and was extremely disappointed in the stopping capabilities but more so when traction control was turned off in 2wd and continued to kick in.... wheres the fun in that!

 

Stormyday,

Still no go. 3rd try. I followed exactly the method posted.
Mine isn't a SR5, but that shouldn't matter. I kept
my foot off the brake like the poster said, does that matter?...
I saw another post on this topic that said to press the brake at the last step?

I pressed to ODO button about 2 seconds after turning the car on.
The ODO never changes to b-off, or b-on. I kept the button pressed
for nearly 20 seconds. I must be missing the timing slightly?

Thanks,
PC
