Question,
Im asking here as I searched the site and can't find the answer.
So , Please explain in easy to understand terms. Thanks.

If i want to change my wheel and tire size, and have Tire pressure monitors installed, How do i get the Tacoma to see the new tpm sensors working with the vehicle and what do i do with the old sensors so the vehicle stops seeing them? I am going to order a set of wheels and tires from Custom offsets. or tail built offroad.

The installer can calibrate it for the new tire size. Additionally, unless you’re switching from alloys to steelies you don’t need new TPMS.

Here's a side by side comparison of the 350 & 650.https://mytruckbedsolutions.com/blo...eer-hf350m-vs-hf650m-tonneau-cover-start-here 350 sits on top of bed & is 3 panels like BakFlip. The 650 is 4 panels & a flush fit like BakFlip. I see no advantage to 4 panels other than flush fit. I wouldn't spend the extra hundred. My 350 on the 2nd gen leaks very little but mostly at front of bed because top of bed is not flat all the way around like the 3rd gen. Mostly leaked running through carwash. I see both the new Leers are no longer aluminum panels. To get the BakFlip, I had to go to the guy who sold & installed my Leer, a 3 hr round trip. They are a Leer dealer but he says they have had several that cracked on the top trim on bed & no longer recommend them. Even their Leer display one cracked- inside & in air conditioning & never wet! Leer 3 yr warranty, BakFlip 5 yr warranty. I will say the 5 yr old Leer is a much more robust build. The BakFlip just feels cheap to me. I hope it holds up to daily use!

They had a very robust roll up bed cover that was all metal on display that works with racks. It's very heavy & I did like that the cover locked into position every 12". But I'm already giving up a foot of bed over my 2nd gen & that box takes up valuable real estate. Then the price...... The cover alone was near 3k. I asked how many he's sold. None! LOL

Also good info. Decisions, decisions.

New here, just got a 2016 Sr access cab the other day and I found a factory XM radio out of a 2014. It worked great and was super easy to install. I need to add a XM antenna but for now it works fine.

OMG it's truck everyone! The gas milage is what it is. If you add more wight or lift it you will get worse milage. If you drive faster the milage will go down. If you accelerate hard and brake hard the milage will go down. Let's talk about something useful like a cool custom mod you made or an idea you have. Show us a mount you made for your propane tank or a way to store some gear in a unique way.

Isn’t that about average though? I consistently see 250-270 per tank.

Mine shows "around" 340 miles to empty, after a fill typically. I get just under 20mpg around town, 21mpg highway.

120,000 miles down and a fresh oil change today. The icon suspension is a hell of a ride, 10/10 would buy again. Had to do some light backroading today around the house. EXcited to see where my build goes. Definitely need a front bumper with a winch since most of the time I go on trails I’m by myself

RCI reached out after I emailed them (06062023) concerning my damaged skid plate. I got the 'Krylon Rust Tough' speech and was sent on my way. Blamed FedEx for damage. No surprise. Anyway, skid plate is for sale.

You didn't plan to actually USE the skid plate?

Have you considered installing the HPS silicone tube? I found after I installed mine acceleration improved considerably.

Subjective or objective?

I've had a "tune", changed the intake snorkel to the TRD air accelerator and installed the HPS silicone tube. In combination this has improved acceleration and towing performance. Subjective because this is my conclusion determined over 2 years of use.

I got like 1 extra MPG but that's gone now since I added new wheels and tires. Sounds like a proper engine now though, she gets REALLY loud when I punch it. 4K rpm and it's almost a little too unbearable. Worth it.

Full AllDogs Hyperborean lift, RadFlo coils, HD leaf packs full res RadFlo rear shocks, UCAs, full camber/caster alignment, full CMC/pinch and some 5.29 R&Ps.
Everything is way stiff atm, as I have not added the RCI sliders, armored SSO bumper, RCI rear bumper, nor the tounge weight of our off road trailer. Other than the tad stiff ride, the truck drives like a dream, and goes straight down the road no hands with no floating.
SUPER happy!

After the CMC And pinch, there is 0 rubbing, flexed lock to lock.... nice!

Went and filled up my tank. The gauge says I can only go 251 miles. That can't be right when others get 300 plus. Any ideas what's going on guys.

Filled up today. 320 to 325 is the average for me. Not sure why yours would be any different. Perhaps a hard system reset? Pull negative and positive cables off of the battery, clamp them together for 10 minutes or so for a fresh start? (Reconnect the positive, then the negative cable) Some folks just pull the negative cable and wrap it in a towel to keep it from touching the terminal for 10 minutes or so.

Looking at your listing picture the skid plate looked fine, I'm confused what you thought a skid plate was for?
