    If I change my 15 inch tires to a slightly taller 15 inch can a Toyota Dealer reprogram my speedometer for the new tire height so my speed is correct?

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more

    That sounds like something to call them on. I know there have been a few programmers that do that, like JET programmers. This way you pay about $130 to do it yourself, and make your own adjustments. I haven't looked to see if they make these for the 2nd gen Tacomas yet, but I know they made one for older Tundras. Truthfully though, depending on the size of tire you are going to, there isn't really that much of a difference in the speedometer.

    Stock speedometer is about 4-6% fast anyways (compare it to a GPS some time, 70 indicated is really around 65).

    Bumping up to a 235/70-15 or a 225/75-15 will get your speedo a little closer to reality.
