    I'm the same way. Having stuff from the previous owner bothers me even more. Half the reason why I debate buying a new one every once in a while... To just have a clean slate.

    Not much anymore. All that is left is the override module from his remote starter system. When I bought it there was front end damage that I didn't find until I started modding and some wiring left around.

    Overall not too bad, just annoying.

    Yeah the crappy wiring job on the override module bothers the heck out of me.

    Rip it all out! Just make sure you don't rip anything else! ;)

    Ha I tried that once. It has to be rewired back to original connections. I tried disconnecting the module to see what was going to happen and the truck wouldn't start after so I'll deal with it one day or have a new remote starter installed and have them replace the old module and clean up the wiring.

    I used to install mobile electronics and remote starts for about 10 years. If you need something post up!

    Thanks. That's much appreciated. If I were to decide to rip it out, I would need to know what wire goes where. How hard is the install of a remote starter?

    It's a fairly easy vehicle. I wouldn't say that someone's first remote start in any vehicle is 'easy' but the Tacoma is pretty much straight forward. Make sure to solder everything!

    Will do! Very excited. Coming from a lowered car to a truck is a big difference but once I drove it I really enjoyed it.
    Looking forward to some CT meets hopefully!

    As of 2016 they began to offer ot. Was looking at 2014 and 20 15 but they hold their value so well that I decided on purchasing a new one.

    Will do! Any pictures of your truck?
