    Got rid of the steel rims & Beef-up Tires (Wider Tires), put on a ProZ ProFold Premium Tonneau Cover, tinted all windows, now for a 3" Lift.
    I'm new to "TacomaWorld" as of today and New to Toyota as well.
    In the past I'v done a ton of custom stuff to my cars...so I'll be sharing some thing soon.
    A little about me, in the past I had a 85 Honda Acc, 92 Ford Explorer, 95 Ford Truck, 01 Honda Acc, 07 Ford Edge, 07 Honda Acc...and Now, 2015 Toyota Tacoma! W/30,000 mi. on it.

    Changes I made in the Past 9 months, Got rid of the steel rims & Beef-up Tires (Wider Tires), put on a ProZ ProFold Premium Tonneau Cover, tinted all windows, now for a 3" Lift.

    and now Here Are My Top 6 Questions...

    1. Thoughts on a do-it-your self 3" Lift kit?
    2. What 3 ton Hydraulic Jack and Stands do you have?..& how long have you had them (Brand Name)?
    3. What Hydraulic Jacks are just crap? if you feel like you want to share.
    4. ...and what the hell is this Whistle/Wind Noise?...from Window? is it because I had the windshield replaced?
    5. If you've never had your windshield replaced, do you have it?
    6. and that annoying clicking sounds by the a/c/heater fan. I noticed a clicking sound when I turned on the A/C fan about 2 month ago.

    DIY is not hard. But don't cheap out. Get the good stuff and do it right.

    I currently have a HF racing jack, but it was for a solo II car that I had to drive on ramps to even get that low profile jack under it. 10 years old. Jack stands I bought used in 1969.

    I had a small no name unit that leaked like a sieve at the end of it's 15 year life. Can't even tell you where I got it, it was so cheap.

    Lower control arm holes or door gaskets are high suspects

    N/A

    Probably the blower relay, blower motor, or a piece of debris in the blower.

    Well, that explains it...

    As for questions 4: whistle noise could be a few things. Search the forum. There's whistles from the front grille, the window trim, and door trim. You'd have to be more specific as to the conditions under which it happens.

    Question 5: yes, mine sounds like a kazoo at high speeds with a hard crosswind. Especially on the passenger side. Worse when cold out.

    # 6: Pull the cabin air filter behind the glove box and check for debris in the blower fan. Notorious place for leaves and junk to collect. I've never had a vehicle suck so much outside crap into the filter. I check mine about every couple of weeks due to the junk that gets in there. And a mouse built a nest on top of my filter once. That was cool. Not really.

    Clicking sound "could" be your fan motors bushings needing lubed. I've had to do mine twice. This in an '08. Low speeds is where I had the ticking sounds. YMMV.

    4-6 Umm isn't a 2015 still under warranty? Take that truck to the dealer and get them to fix it.
