    Hi - Just joined - Just acquired my first Tacoma (05 dbl short 4X4) and loving it.
    Two requests for advice from the experts:
    1 - rear left tan headrest is missing - best place to find a replacement? Toyota quoted $438 best price - YUP $438!!
    2 - I need to install a fuel transfer tank in the bed - best place to find a used one ( cheap)? Looking at 75 to 100 gal capacity.

    Thx for whatever advice anyone can offer.

    Give them a call and read your VIN and they can get you the right one. Looks like $327

    Only better price is going to be a junk yard, or if you can find someone gutting their interior for a stereo mod, but that's more common on the access cab.

    On the transfer tank, be careful... 100 gallons is 700 lbs.
    Add the weight of the tank, and the driver/passenger, and you're over the weight rating of the Tacoma without any tools or anyone in the back seat.

    Thx Rich. Yes all good advice. I may go smaller w the tank but Ido need volume. I tow a helicopter and this is for off airport operations.

    Dayum! They're right proud of those headrests. :eek:
    Could the transfer tank be mounted on the trailer with the helo? (assuming it's trailered). Hope that's not a stupid question, but I had to ask. :notsure:

    Are you actually legally allowed to carry anything other than diesel in a transfer ( tidy ) tank ?
