Not a TRD

have you done any anti-theft mods? i was thinking of getting the good ol' "club" for the steering wheel.

 

hahaha. yeah. some taco dudes can be pretty vicious on here. mostly though, everyone is awesome and very helpful.

 

I am looking to put a kill switch in this one. Just need to figure out the wiring and not fry a ECU on it.

 

true.

 

Right now it has full coverage plus the gap insurance. So come and get it. Just means I get a new one. Lol

 

hahah. what do you think about getting wheel locks and "the club"? i figure those are easy/cheap anti theft devices.

 

Engine and tranni is the same. Also the dif. Not having a front dif is a blessing since you will not have the dreaded vibrations when lifted.
And truck is a bit lighter.
I would mod the shit of it.

 

Wheel locks really don't matter to the pro thief they have access to those wheel keys but for the average schmo they are great. All 6 of my lugs are keyed lugs. The club is fine to. Anything to slow them down or make them move on to the next truck is a good idea.

 

thanks for the tip. btw......what is the dif?

 

right. thats what I was thinking.

 

You can also just simply pop the hood and remove a few of the distributor cables. If it starts it's going to run like crap.

 

Dif is differential. Tranni is transmission.

 

Only problem is, the time it takes to put all that stuff on and put it back plus storing it on or in the truck. This is why I am opting for a kill switch and some type of tracking chip that you can monitor with your smart phone.

 

Oh and look at it this way. Ours is a trd, if it wasn't for our base model there wouldn't be a trd model and all the trd stuff wouldn't just bolt on to our truck. For instance my dash gauge cluster has all the same dummy light the pro model has ( 4lo, 4 hi, locker, atrac, etc..) and all the pin connectiona are down there in the wiring just awaiting the new addition.

 

Trd gives you rear lock. I've been wheeling hard core trails open diff for years. It's just more challenging. Here is me years back. Could have done this one pass. But with open diff it takes persistence.

definitely the better option.

 

gotcha. thanks.

 

You are comparing apples to oranges with a taco and a 4r. The 4r, has more weight over the rear tires and a shorter wheel base than my long bed limo of a Tacoma.

 

excellent point.

 

holy cow. cool vid man.
