    I had been reading a magazine on a 2nd gen build. (I read plenty, so I don't know what mag) I had seen the build included a sway-bar spacers. What are the benefits of such spacers?? 1/4" I believe.
    Then; the guy had a compressor in place of the secondary air injection thingie, but didn't say or state anything on how he rid the Taco of this air injection thingie, as I'm sure we'd all like to delete our own...
    Your kind thoughts please, Knowledge??

    Not sure about the first question, but on my 2011 I don't have a secondary air thingy. So that's probably why he had the space there. I think it was from 2012 forward...

    The swaybar spacers are used when lifting. I opted to remove my swaybar instead of running the spacer when I installed the coilovers.

    There is a thread in the 2nd gen forum with details on the secondary air pump delete. A quick search should provide all the answers you need to remove yours.

    If you select the Tacoma in the drop down (even though it says 2012), it will then let you select the years of 2012, 2013, and 2014.

    Here you go....(I can't get in trouble for this right??)


    No, we do not currently have a kit for the 2013 or newer. The solution we have for the 2013 and newer vehicles is a true delete kit but do not currently have a release date. We hope we will have them available in the next couple of months. The best way to get notification when they are available is to follow us on our facebook page. The problem with the 13’ and newer models is they run the pump on shutdown which is something our current bypass units cannot take care of.

    If you have any questions please feel free to give us a call on Mon. 8:30-5:00 EST when we are back in the office.
