    Haha, sorry man, I just realized that I wrote that incorrectly. I meant to say, Do you have a K&N CAI? I thought maybe you were talking about the sound of it sucking air as you accelerate.

    sorry man guess I should have explained it better. It's not a whooshing like a CAI. It's more of a whirling noise and I can really only hear it while accelerating. Sounds like a liquid kind of noise. Like I said hard to describe. I need to record it and email it to somebody to see if they can diagnose. Don't know if anybody else's tacoma does it, but my parents vehicles and nobody else's that I've ever driven sounds like it

    Needed tires, found some 2010 Taco wheels on CL for cheap with some BF rugged fails in decent shape. To be honest, much better than the BigO Bigfoot AT that were on the truck since I bought it. New tires to come ASAP

    Hmmm... Can't say that I have ever heard anything like that, sorry. But I am interested to know what it is when you figure it out.

    OEM here too. Plugs from the dealer are cheaper than most aftermarket anyways. Like $24 iirc but it's been a while since I bought mine

    Those old shocks have 41k on them and are completely shot. Almost no resistance to move them up and down.
