    Return the K&N and buy an AFE dry flow filter, they are cheaper and better.

    They dont require oil and perform the same if not better than the K&N

    even more the reason to return it, K&N kits on the tacoma is junk, run the stock airbox with a drop in filter for better power and mileage.. I shit you not.

    We already have a cold air system, there is no benefit to adding a K&N kit other than noise.:cool:

    Haha it was 65 and sunny up in the Black Hills of South Dakota yesterday... Me and a buddy went snowboarding in swimming trunks and tank tops and I can honestly say I was not cold in the least. I was even sweating under the trucker hat I was wearing.

    I think you should keep the hard top. Better security and protection for your gear than a soft topper.

    I second that. As Box Rocket said for protection, and also in my personal opinion hard tops look better. I wouldn't trust a soft top in daily use around town, too easy to slit open and steal what is inside. For weekend trips or camp outs no problem though.

    Hard tops look like they fit the curvature of the cab better than the gap that is present on soft tops. Not to mention you can throw on some sick decals like Box Rocket has on the side windows.

    I do feel they look best on black Tacomas if you do happen to go for a soft top.

    Yeah it is getting pretty ridiculous. We just set a new record for most snowfall in a season. And yeah the tires do help a bit ;)

    Baby steps! I just bought the truck 3 months ago. Total cost was $120 and breakfast for friends with tools. Took less than an hour and there's a difference you can feel and hear. As someone said my Butt Dyno says at least 5 HP improvement, smoother acceleration and when it's above 3K RPM sounds like a beast!
