    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Which ones, none of the ones on your truck are serviceable.

    Sounds like a loaded question. I guess the answer would be none.

    I'm a little ignorant, and I was going off of a 150K maintenance schedule I found online. Stupid internets.

    Yes, replace. I'm watching a "how-to" and I see that you have to replace the whole assembly, not just the bearings.

    I recently plastidipped my emblems, cleaned up my tires (they were stained brown for a few months), and made my fender flares dark again (they were very faded). All for about $15.

    I'm actually saving it for my 4x4 PreRunner swap. Just waiting for some time to actually do the swap.

    I realize this being the first gen section many of us don't tow much. But maybe someone has a suggestion for a decent brake controller. I need to put one in my land cruiser because I'll be getting close to the towing limit for it and I realize this usually has more to do with stopping than going.
