    GX470 Advice (2003 vs 2004)

    Look to see the timing belt and water pump were replaced. Those need to be done every 100k. Possibly the radiator. No leaks in the engine (that's a really big one). Some have issues with the rear airbag suspension but if ur swapping it out anyway that wouldn't be a deal breaker. Not too...

    GX470 Advice (2003 vs 2004)

    Thanks. I agree the non-nav would be ideal, but I just couldn't find one. Seems there is a mixed bag on the 03-04 vs the 05 and later, I read some things that said the air injection in the 05 and later could be problematic at times and are expensive to fix. I had it checked out by a mechanic...

    Bed Drawer Storage Solutions for Wet Gear in a Tacoma?? Recs?

    Not really.. That's just one more thing to have to bring along. Ideally I could just toss the wet stuff directly in a drawer and be good to go

    Bed Drawer Storage Solutions for Wet Gear in a Tacoma?? Recs?

    I have looked through tons of threads and products and can't seem to find what I want (Decked seems to be closest but doesn't make a Tacoma model). I spend most of my time in the outdoors doing things in the ocean, river, or snow and as a result my gear is always wet (waders, wetsuit...

    4Runner better drive quality than Tacoma. Need advice

    Thanks for all the replies. I guess like anything there's pros and cons of each. I might try one of the icon suspension kits. From what I've read they make the truck drive better and potentially get better mpgs. Just wish they had one I could go drive and see. Oh well I guess it's only 2k...

    4Runner better drive quality than Tacoma. Need advice

    Hi. I Need advice from the smart people here. I have had several Tacomas over the past 10-15 years and they have all been great vehicles. I typically do not modify them just add a camper shell and slightly bigger tires and it gets me to pretty much surf break in ca or Baja or mtn bike trail...

    Truck Bed Camper vs RTT

    get the best of both worlds. get a shell for the bed, and ladder racks. then you have the shell for storage and you can mount a roof top tent to the ladder racks.

    Tire Question for 05 Tacoma 4x4 TRD

    I ended up getting new wheels and tires. I got the FJ TRD SE Trail Team wheels and 265/75R16 BFG ATs. The wheels are the same as stock, and the tires are a little larger. There is no rubbing at all. They ride and drive alot better than the rugged trails that came with the truck. I would...

    Tire Question for 05 Tacoma 4x4 TRD

    I dont really ride on much sharp stuff.. mainly fireroads, sand, and smoother rocks to get to surf and trail heads.. So, please correct me if i am wrong, if the BFGs have a stiffer sidewall than the nittos, then the nittos should provide a better on road ride? From what i have read they are...

    Tire Question for 05 Tacoma 4x4 TRD

    Thanks for the feedback. I have heard good things about the BFGs and the Nittos. Any reason I should go with one over the other other than the Nittos are cheaper? Good to hear that both brands will fit with stock rims w/o any rubbing. I have a leer camper top and normally carry surf...

    Tire Question for 05 Tacoma 4x4 TRD

    I have searched around and can not seem to find a good answer. I need new tires on my truck but I can not decide on what size to get (I will either get Nitto Terra Grapplers or BFG ATs). My truck is stock and the stock tires are 265/70R16. Some of my friends seem to think that I should get...
