    Swapped double sided clamshell crossbody toolbox for 2nd hand canopy- replaced its T-handle locks. Added multifunction multicolor customizable led cab lighting. Replaced OEM tape deck stereo w/removeable face stereo/CD/Bluetooth unit. Replaced front bumper with chrome strip and chrome plastic grill with matte black aftermarkets. Replaced rear chrome step bumper w/steel matte black aftermarket. Replaced OEM headlights, corners, and tail lights w/aftermarkets. Replaced aftermarket headlamps with FREAKIN WHITE leds. Replaced OEM floor mats with aftermarket deepISH dish all-weather ones. Replaced OEM tailgate handle w/one that LOCKS. Windshield cracked, had it replaced. Replaced OEM washer fluid reservoir w/aftermarket-now the sprayer bits don’t wanna work... Added clip-over-OEM style rear view mirror/monitor with rear view parking assist and incident recording front and rear views. Added a suicide knob to steering wheel.
    Ok, so I poked around the site and I couldn't find anything, so now I'm poking you all to hopefully gain some direction...

    I had responded to another 1st Gen Tacomas post regarding a P0171 code....I, myself have been after it's evil twin sister, the elusive P0172 for months now.... but I've come across quite a bit of solid information and reference material that others just might find incredibly helpful...at some point anyway... so I poked around and looked for a general section regarding OBDII Diagnostics or MIL Codes or Troubleshooting OBDII Codes...and I failed to complete that mission... couldn't find anything... so I've come to the experts for guidance... :

    1) if there IS/ARE such a post(s).... what's the path to get there so I can find out if someone else has already posted the info or if not, so I can post it...

    2) if there's NOT any such post(s), where should I go to create one, IF I even possess that privilege?

    3) if there exists any such post(s), why are they hidden?? As OBDII codes and the diagnosis thereof affect us all eventually, no matter WHAT we're running, how gently we drive them, or how well we maintain 'em.... I really sorta expected to be able to find relevant info front and center where everyone can easily find, see, and access if need be.... especially since it's related not only to our own personal safety, but the LIVES of our BABIES!!!....but I couldn't even ferret anything out via the search box....so here I am...and there it is.

    Thanks for hearing me out, thanks again (in advance) for hopefully finding it in your hearts to at least point my frazzled a$$ in the right direction.... again....

    The search function here isn't the best. I find that I get much better results by using Google specific site search fuction.

    IE:
    Site:www.tacomaworld.com P0172
    Or
    Site:www.tacomaworld.com engine error codes
