    First order of business is getting the timing belt job done. It’s never been changed according to the previous owner. Tracked them down on FB and asked about it. They bought it at 88k miles and only changed the oil up till 228k when I bought it. The first owner had it serviced regularly at Lexus up until they sold it at 88k, but they sold it just before it needed to be done.

    The 3rd gen Tacoma TRD Pro shift knob should also drop right in and clip up to the boot correctly. :evil:

    On my phone (Android running Chrome) the tab opened then closed on its own. Clicking on the link a second time opened it correctly.

    oh no I’m saying I found some non-nav controls. Just have to install them. I previously had one of the Tesla style setups. Nice unit just want full manual control and a traditional double din.
