    I have to ask, because you have a 12 - 15 Tacoma like me. If it's an automatic, does there seem to be any hesitation in changing gears at low speed, or does it switch fast through each gear weather you're being light or heavy on the petal?

    Mine seems to hesitate a little between first and second, also a little hesitation between second and third. More hesitation at higher PRM's.

    The dealership told me that it's normal for 12 - 15 Tacoma's.

    I have a 2011 and mine does that same thing. I always wondered if others did the same.

    Honestly I haven't really noticed it, but I will look for it on my way into work tomorrow. I think I know what your talking about though. Does the rpms run high then shifts kinda hard?

    Sometimes yes. It's more about the time it takes to shift to the next gear. Instead of an instant shift, if kinda feels like it's in between for about a second.

    Justin,
    Where is the anytime fog light mod link or instructions?. Ran a search but didn't come up with anything specific.
    Thanks

    So pull both fuse panel covers off and this is what you see. The fog light relay is in the small fuse panel and it's the bottom left if you are looking at it from drivers side fender. When you pull the relay you are going to bend the bottom left male tab out so you can get a female end on it. From there you run the wire to the very top left plug in the bigger fuse panel. You are going to jump off the lime green wire which is the far left top wire if you are looking at the plug while it's plugged in. I was able to de-pin it and crimp both wires together using another pin from the shop at work (perks of working at Toyota). I just google 2012 Tacoma fog light mod a went off two of how-to threads. Neither really helped all that much though. Hope this helps.

    @Arrowshot Do you know how your third brake light and dome light for your camper shell is wired?

    Originally when Custom Trucks out on Research Park Blvd put it in they ran the wire to the battery. With all the rewiring I did I eventually ran it to a Blue Seas fuse box behind the back seat. Lots of other stuff wired up there (camping lights, camper top LED lights inside and other connections for whatever I want to hook up).
