    Hi Team ! I've been reading posts about how to get rid of mice in my 2003 taco. I opened up the wiper screen and didnt see any oblong hole to put a screen over, so im stuck right there. What did i mess? Mouse traps inside the cab catching nothing, lots of poop around, do what ?? Thanks, Jerbo N. Cal.

    In addition to the intake mod you might want to think about getting a couple of feral farm cats to control the mice. Just gotta feed them for a month before letting them loose so they know where home is.
