    Nope! Just intake and and exhaust. So that is what was surprising. Didn't think I had a chance.

    ^^^ Finally, a factual post in this thread. :D

    The only problem I have with Toyota is our local dealers. The one I leased the truck from sold me an extended warranty swearing it was an extension of the original 3 year warranty and covered the same things. This turned out to be BS.
    Toyota could improve on quality control. Parts falling off is not impressive, mudguards, molding, etc...
    As far as TSBs, most Tacoma owners don't know about them and don't care. It's only us forum members that think Toyota should do every TSB related to our trucks whether they have a problem or not.

    We have two extremes posting here. The OP seems to hate Tacomas. A couple of others seem to think a f#%$ed up Tacoma is better that anything else. I, and most others, fall in between. It's just a truck. I have had a few problems with mine but nothing like a friends Dakota and another guys Silverado. The guy with the Dakoda ended up trading his in on a Jeep because no other dealer wanted it. He also lost a lot of $$$. The Silverado is the same year as my Tacoma, 2005, and needs a $2000 transmission job. My missing molding doesn't look too bad now.

    As others have said, because He's an awesome guy. I've learned a good bit of what I know of lifts and suspension stuff simply from his posts and the faqs hes wrote. He's a very valuable member to every forum he's on.

    Thats funny, cause according to Poleman I'm a "PUSSY ASS RED NECK chump. Fucking prick". :D

    Are you kidding me?! They have the Ridgeline, which is known as an off road beast.

    Look at the flex from that fully independent suspension!!!!

    God the Ridgeline is so stupid. Its like the bastard child of a Chevy Avalanche and Honda Pilot.

    His cardomain webpage shows all the mods he did. People just adore his truck in the comments section of his webpage. His light mods are awesome! And I like the turning signal he put on his side mirrors. Did toyota do that shiny dark blue paint or did he? Also why does he need a skid plate when his truck is lifted? LOL. Too bad he in Hawaii. Now he won't be able to work on my truck:(
