Thanks! Hello Kurt: Thanks for the prompt reply - makes sense as you suggest. Howard

I've removed the passenger rear fender flare (stock plastic bulge around wheel well opening) on our 04 DC Tacoma as a step in removing the other black plastic piece that lines the wheel wheel. Removals done to gain access to empty space forward of wheel well. Question: I'm ready to reinstall...

Nice looking van! How long is the upstairs bed? Could two adults (6' & 5'6") sleep there comfortably? Same queston for the lower bed? Thanks, Howard

Passengers Sharing Load Space Hello: We have two 4runners (1987 & 2000) and a 2004 DC Tacoma. The Tacoma is the expedition rig and the 2000 4 runner is the daily driver. For us it boils down to safety. In the Tacoma passengers and gear are in separate spaces in the event of an accident. In...

Hello Don: I'm absolutely interested and will buy - assuming the material is aluminum (sorry if I missed that in your post) and as long as there is sealing gasket. How would you plan on distributing these? I'm near Albuquerque, NM and could possibly pick up several if there are others who'd...

Mass Flow Air Sensor? We had low mileage on our first generation 4runner that turned out to be due to a tired mass flow air sensor (not sure if that's exactly the correct term or not). Replaced it and mileage went back to the low 20's (22re). Howard L. Snell

We've been happy with the guys at Toyo Masters. They've serviced our Tacoma and two 4runners for several years. Toyo Masters Inc (505) 890-8696 Address: 4709 Hawkins N E, Albuquerque, NM 87109 There is another Toyomasters shop that has a web site in a different location, but I don't know...

Darin: I've used bicycles to loss 45 pounds or so a couple of times. In my opinion they're the perfect tool, especially when you're heavy and your knees can't take running and your condition doesn't let you hike steep uphill trails for long periods. I'd suggest you figure on any geared bike...

22RE Possibly Not Suited For Towing 2-3K Your developing garage sounds like ours: we have an '87 4 runner with the 22re, a 2000 2wd 4 runner with the 3.4 (daily driver), and a moderately modified2004 dbl cab Tacoma with the 3.4. I wouldn't consider the 22re for towing 2-3K lbs. Ours slows...

No Problems With Airbags While our truck is smaller than yours (2004 DC Tacoma), I'm not sure that would affect the potential issues with "airbags" so our experience might reflect what you could expect? We installed Firestone 'RideRite" air suspension before our 4,000 mile trip this summer...

Thanks Mr. Leary, William & BB: Thanks for all of the helpful insight. We'll probably do the Tundra brake upgrade at some point also - we've already seriously overheated the Tacoma's brakes once (descending from the White Mountains Bristlecone Pine area to Big Pine with a loaded truck). I...

All: I've read through many of the Tacoma towing posts and would still like to hear from others who have towed 1,500 to 2,000 pounds long term with their 2000 - 2004 4x4 Tacomas. I realize our trucks can tow 5,000 pounds across town, but I'm looking at towing a trailer for a couple of thousand...

Thanks! Hey All: Thanks for quick reponses - just the sort of information I was looking for. Mike S. - the gasket on our Maggiolina doesn't seem to close well - probably an effect of several thousand miles on top of the Tacoma. Do you sell replacement gaskets and are they easy to install...
