    This is a good idea... I've been thinking though a wiki might be better suited but... anything would help.

    Something I think that might be good to list are the common mods that people do, with a picture to show a visual that someone might see a lot on our trucks. I know even when I first started out, even the BHLM was kinda "huh?" at first. If there is an introductory FAQ or something that lists all these out, I think it'd help avoid the need for people to search as much for them... Some things I'm thinking are:

    • BHLM
    • eyelids
    • The various grill mods:
      • Satoshi
      • Grillcraft
      • blackout logo
      • the infamous "ebay" black grill that gets a new thread about every week it seems like. Link here
    • Ipod adapter for stocker radio
    • Maximum speaker dimensions for stock setup + basic adapter plate locations
    • TSB list
    • wet okole's
    • Bumper replacements, light bars, ect
    I'm sure there's a lot more but, you all know what's asked a lot...
    I realize a lot of this is on the mods & tutorials link above but, it still gets asked a lot. Hell it probably took me a good 4 months to even realize that menu was there lol...

    The answer is don't do it. Our Tacoma's are tuned correctly. No real world Improvements.

    Fuel Mileage
    No modification will really help this, your best bet is to drive more sensible. Get a Scangauge II

    I also think a complete profile should be manditory, as far as truck statistics go. How many times have you tried to resolve an issue only to not now what the motor is, suspension package, yada yada yada

    Maybe we could correct that. Instead of adding another part that won't be used correctly. lol. The older members seem to have it right.
