    I tried to install a 4 way amp but had a weird hiss/buzz tone that would be there even with the volume all the way down. I have shielded rca cables and ran everything away from the power cable and tested my ground to make sure it was good. What the heck could be making the sound?? Running the factory speaker wire

    Fortunately I can compensate because I'm manual but it is sluggish compared to stock. I bought the wheels 4 years ago 40% off on black friday.

    If your truck has a V6 you can install a rear differential (or just the ring and pinion) out of a 4 cylinder truck and it'll go from a 3:73 to a 4:11.

    Not sure where to ask, so directions would be appreciated. Can't figure out how to search existing threads.

    I have a 2007 Tacoma TRD AC with 91,000 miles. Vehicle is from Wisconsin - I bought it used in 2009 and imported it into Ontario.

    Toyota dealer is offering to carry out several recalls including frame replacent and leaf spring replacement. I am getting ready to sell as I am pushing 80 and would like a new truck (probably my last). Would like to hear from owners who have had the frame replacement. In Canada these repairs will cost 15-16 thousand dollars Can. Dealer has to submit to Toyota for approval. Dealer says some items will not be approved and will be my cost. Also says other items may be discovered as work is done - again at my cost.

    I do not trust local dealer as far as I could through my taco so looking for feedback.

    Thanks for any assistance.

    TrailGear looks to have acquired Wheelers OffRoad.

    I purchased a set of extended rear brake lines from Wheelers on their 15% off sale, my Amex I used is linked to ApplePay which shows real time charge notifications, the charge came up immediately and read "Trail Gear". I hit up Trail Gear's site, and they do not list Wheelers as an owned brand, but I bet we see it very soon. And they are also running the exact same 15% off sale as Wheelers. Trail Gear has acquired LowRange, then AllPro, now Wheelers...
