Drum brakes, and the keyless start on the manual. I can definitely agree on those. The tune I guess is for both mpg and safety, but my gti had settings for Econ, reg, and sport, which would be a great feature on the Tacoma. I assume the keyless start nonsense is due to the clutch start cancel switch. They can’t figure out how to omit the clutch switch or add another button to engage it instead of having the giant h key. Drums on the rear is just lazy. And the charger is a joke.

I used to see a nice little diesel one of those running around.

Ps. That’s pretty funny.

Recently installed a Spiker Engineering hood strut, ARB Twin compressor on a Slee mount, and got my beat rattle canned RCI sliders a fresh powder-coat!

Make sure your skid plate has sides that are vertical. I must have an older version with 45 degree sides so the cat guard wont work.

For me, the knob covers just slipped on and stayed, and I didn't have to force them. They come with a strip of double sided tape so if they're too lose, you could secure them that way. Some folks on here have said they were a tight fit, so I'm guessing the diameters vary a bit from batch to batch.

I installed similar temp knob covers but discovered they were very loose in the winter time in SW Ontario.

Mine came in a few weeks ago and I had to clamp the cat wings to the transmission skid and drill 4 holes per side.

Thanks. I just looked at a photo from when I installed the skid and I will need to drill the holes as well. I just received them about 6 weeks ago I’m guessing since it only took a few days to receive them after ordering I got one that was already on hand before they started shipping them pre-drilled.

Installed Meso Tail Lights - took 10 minutes. Easy peasy and they look great.

Hmm, maybe. Would be a useful nugget of knowledge for the TW Hive-Mind.

I'll just keep venting about it until the bean counters at Toyota hear me and add the option... or more likely kill the MT entirely.

Morning all.

Quick question for all you soothsayers on the World of Tacomas.

I recently took off my driver side grab handle from her who shall remain nameless. I replaced it with the original trim piece from Toyota, BUT I don't know what happened to the small badge/cover going over the bolt. It says "SRS Airbag."

Does anyone know that particular OEM part number? It's a small piece of plastic and can't be that expensive to replace.

TIA!

So another weird one is: Stay with me here... my truck is key operated only (no fob) and only one door has a key-hole. (I can turn the key twice to unlock the other door, so that's nice.) But the weird part is that this key-hole is on the driver's side door. This is 2017 after all.
My '42 Studebaker also had only one door with a key hole - but it was on the pax side - by design that was so you didn't stand in traffic to open, lock, or unlock the door. That's advanced thinking. That's safe thinking.
As was the pax side wheels having left-hand threaded lugs. Thus they would self tighten when the truck was in forward motion, just as the driver side would in fwd motion. (Along the same thought lines as bolts placed w/ head at the top in vertical applications and at the front in horizontal applications (aka "direction of flight")).

It is weird to me that modern designers skip such elementary precautions.
Of course we'll ignore that the Stude came with only one tail light (driver side), one outside mirror (driver door), and no turn signals (have to use your arm). But it has push-button start! When it was my daily driver, I added another tail light.

- The one saving grace in my eyes is that the Stude has a bench seat. It is easy to scoot from pax side to driver side. Not so easy with Taco's bucket seats.

I've had dinner at the Studebaker mansion. Pretty interesting.

Can you send some pics with the lights on in the dark and day? I'm thinking of getting these, but I already have the meso stage 2 tail conversion and its brighter than all get up and I don't want to downgrade an already really good upgrade.

Totally agree with the second comment. To the first, there's a lot of manual vehicles that have push button start. The only difference is that clutch start cancel button. Frankly I'd happily give up CSC for keyless start. Unfortunately it isn't a mod that can be added without doing some shady shit to the wiring of the truck with third party hardware with questionable quality.

I guess I just like a lot of old school functions! I like using a key to start the truck and I like shifting myself. Seems like pretty soon all of the “manual” functions will be gone…

Can anyone tell me why there is no 4x4 emblem on the back of the Tacoma's just on the sides with decals? Was it something the did away with?

JDSmith · Apr 11, 2022

Maybe a new thing for 22. My 21 has the emblem, it also had the bed side off road decals.

TMK, the Off Road and Sport versions did not get the 4x4 badge on the tailgate. I'm not sure if it ended up being all years or not. I added the badge to mine.

Got inspiration from a post on here and hid a key fob in one of these cases. Removed the battery and had this little knife laying around so that I can pop it open and put the battery in if I ever need it. It's always been a worry when I'm out snowboarding, hiking, camping or in the middle of nowhere that I could lose my keys and be f*cked. Sorry I forgot who originally posted it but thank you.

So you do this when going somewhere not needing your key but leave the box under there all the time? Then you take out the battery so it’s the doors can’t be touched since the fob would be in proximity of the sensor?

I took the black one off the tailgate of my 2022 SR. It has no tape, but if someone sends me a stamped and addressed padded envelope, I'll put it in.
