    Thanks for reminding the 90% of us you paid cash. That’s awesome! After my previous ride was totaled by a very challenged driver, I wished I could have paid cash for my Taco. I was able to put down a substantial down payment though.

    Haven't seen those in ages! Remember the Cadillac and Lincoln crowd using those goofy things.

    On a more serious note I'll add do the rear differential vent mod. Run the new vent hose up behind the DS tail light. Plenty of how-to threads and youtube videos.

    Welcome!

    Not knowing which chassis. engine. and transmission combo you have, here is my list for a TRD OR Automatic

    Put a 1cm square piece of black electrical tape over the D on the automatic shift lever gate. There is a bit of reflection intake manifold support bracket f the light when in D on the inside of the glass. Bugged the sh!t out of me.

    Cut the intake support metal bracket that sits above the small coolant hose, so it does not rub the hose.

    Don't touch the instrument cluster clear plastic front lens until reading about how easily it scratches.

    Trust ECT and S-Mode as this V6 loves to rev past 5000rpms.

    Your truck already has a Cold Air Intake.

    @MESO products are worth every dollar spent.

    @Mobtown Offroad products are absolutely worth the wait.

    Most importantly, drive with a smile!
