    I'm sure all this info is in here, I'm still trying to read thru and understand all the discussion with each topic.

    Anyone can answer these with a simple "yes" or "no" or "yes, dummy, keep reading the boards":D
    97' Taco, 4 banger, 2wd, 5spd

    1) I hate the wheels and tires. Ugly and ugly
    I'm having trouble find wheels or even 2wd trucks with aftermarket wheels to see what they look like. What size can I go to? I like to have a tire leaning more to the all terrain side.

    2) Anyway to make the locks and/or windows power?

    3) I've seen where some where switching side mirrors to the new gen mirrors. Are OEM mirrors the only one worth buying still?

    4) my AC is making a lot of noise on medium to high settings and not getting alot of air flow, but very cold. Do I need to find the cabin filter and start there?

    5) Years ago when I had an 87' toyo pickup i threw some bucket seats in there off an S-10. Anyone know the best seats to throw in for a little more comfortable ride. My other truck is a Tundra so I'm used to a little more comfort, but not complaining, I knew I what I was buying. :D

    Thanks and sorry for the newbie questions.

    one more thing.
    When i bought truck last week the E-Brake light went off. Now I can't get it off. I checked fluid, it's full. It seems to completely disengage. What's causing it to stay lit?

    This happened to me, pretty sure I did nothing and it went off after like 5 mins. I know that's not very helpful haha but as long as you check the cable to make sure it isn't too tight (runs over leaf packs next to rear axle) should be chill. Maybe it's a sticky switch somewhere

    Eh, see my Build Thread sig link. Too many mods to list.
    1. Go to pretty much any stereo shop and have them put in an alarm. Pay extra for the door lock actuators, and your doors will lock/unlock with the alarm. My doors also lock when I put it in drive, although I think that's an option I can turn off. I'm ok with that.

    2. Something like this: Power Window Kit.

    Thanks so much for both replies. I've got any spare time now filled with Tacoma projects.

    Update-
    Noisy air was some presents left by a squirrel

    E brake was about 25 clicks. Tightened it up and figured out the tab wasn't hitting the switch to turn brake light off

    So 2 things fixed tonight!! Woohoo

    Thanks all
