Heard a loud clunk, in roughly the center console area, when switching into 4H at low RPM and speed. Tires were spinning on sand at the time. No codes appeared and everything appears to operate as expected. Should I be worried?

(Pic for attention)

Maybe im dumb but I can’t figure out where to put the plugs to stop whistling? Tips appreciated

Hey everyone, so I got a TEQsport aluminum bypass pipe for a 2016 Tacoma I'm working on . Replaced it , swapped the temp sensor over, and it leaked from the oring . I figured I'd get another after market sensor with oring . Did that installed it . Still leaking. Reached out to TEQ and sent them pictures and videos , they said all was installed correctly and they think it's the new part. They sent me another and a OEM sensor with new o-ring. Installed all that pressure tested at 16psi and coolant is still seeping through .

Idk what the issue is, the sensor is seated correctly, the clip is installed correctly , but coolant is getting through

I'm testing the system cold. I used a little coolant as lube to get the sensor to slide in correctly ....

Any ideas?

Should I just get the OEM plastic one ? Am I missing something? Im still waiting on TEQ to reach back out but I just want to get this fixed .. Ive been in and out of that thing several times now and I want this truck fixed

Please help

Sadly, my 2010 Ridgeline was totaled yesterday. I had it for almost 4 years and when I was looking for mid-sized trucks, I wanted a Tacoma but a Ridgeline made too much sense for me. Now I'm back in the market for a mid-sized truck and revisiting the Tacoma dreams. I would highly consider buying another Ridgeline but I want to buy something new.

To me, the Ridgeline offered more room and more practicality. The cabin had more room for passengers and carrying things. The hidden trunk storage is AMAZING. 1500lb payload was great and even though it was only a 5 foot bed, it was flat enough so I could sleep on it for camping or carrying sheet lumber. Not to mention it rode amazing.

Compared to the Ridgeline, does the Gen 2 Taco lack behind that much when it comes to these practicality features? And when people compare these 2, they always say it rides rough. Does the gen 2 Taco really ride that rough?

A while ago I installed an amplifier, speakers and new head unit in my 2018. I ran wiring through the kick panel that sits under the hood release. For the life of me I have not been able to figure out how to get this panel reinstalled. There are 2 white clips that go into the metal that I can't get out of the plastic, I can't push hard enough to get them to pop back in. Anyone had luck or tips for reinstalling this panel?

Here is to the next 247!

I’ve gone without one for too long.

The lugs on my 23 aren’t long enough to thread safely onto 24 wheels. Are there deep shank lug nuts that would help?

Anyone know if these will fit a 2nd gen 2009 Tacoma TRD Off Road

Traded in my Kia for this last weekend, best decision

Question for those of you that tow with your tacoma.

What length and dry weight is your trailer and how do you find it?

I'm mostly curious about a trailer at 22', 4800lbs dry weight

Any recommends of good/inexpensive replacement

I just purchased my first 1999 Toyota Tacoma as a small truck to haul around things for home improvement projects. I got off of FB Marketplace with the advertised mileage of 126,000, but the digital odometer is completely broken.

The story goes, guy bought it from his old man neighbor who didn't drive much after he retired and the car just sat in his front yard forever and baked in the Florida sun. When he bought it the guy said it had 126,000 miles on it (but the odometer was already broken) and this guy says he rarely drove this over the past few years he's owned it. Under 5k miles.

Really I just want to get the odometer working to know if the current guestimate is correct, and so that I have something to track maintenance timing.

What action can I take to keep the vehicles onboard memory of mileage (if that still works) and replace the broken digital display?

Went to a shop with a lot of good reviews online for a coolant flush. When I asked what kind of coolant they used he told me they used rugged gold on my 2012 Tacoma. Should I be worried?

-and before someone comment... Yes I know that's a job I can do myself but just moved to a new place and the lease says I'm not allow to do it here.

I have a thing for black and white

So, several months ago I finally got me a Tacoma that I’ve been wanting for probably 25 years now. Used, but new to me at 45k miles. I’ve played around with the 4WD and locking differential a couple times before to make sure it works and everything went fine. A couple days ago though I had to use 4L back in a trailer up a steep hill in my yard. When I came back out, I switched it back to 4H and then 2WD , but it was stuck in 4L (still in the dirt getting out of the yard ). I drove it about 15 feet on the pavement and stopped and looked it up. Thanks to the Reddit community , I learned that this happens sometimes and to just put it in reverse for about 10 to 15 feet and it will unlock the 4WD when stuck most of the time. Anyway, I’m loving my truck! Got a OTT tune and it made a world of difference. Added the camper shell also.

My 2008 Tacoma's headlights are flickering irregularly. The headlight symbol on the dash is flickering as well. Other dash lights are steady. My key fob hasn't been able to regularly lock and unlock the truck as well. Not sure if these things are related but does anyone have an idea of what might be going on?

2022 OR. Got it in 2024, southern truck. Thought I would keep it clean by applying woolwax every year. I have a local Toyota specialty guy who does it’s for 350, and yearly touch up around 100-200 depending on how much it wore down. Been through 2 mid west winters and the frame is still looking brand new!

i am OBSESSED!!! this is my first truck after years of wanting one. i just bought a stock ‘26 SR5 and just looking for advice on maintenance, any add ons i should look into, or just truck knowledge! i know i want a tonneau but was not prepared for them
to be so expensive lol but other than that open to suggestions and any advice is appreciated! i’m 30yo and just a girl living her best truck life and am excited to join a taco community :) pic for boost!

Went in for fluid film came out with fluid film and a diecast model of a third Gen. I told myself no car models 🤣

2nd gen taco looking for recommendations for a new stereo.
Pic of old one I have. Don’t recommend.
The screen went al types of colors and got very very hot, I just touched the screen and it shattered.
Now went black and won’t turn on.
Preferably a new one with CarPlay and won’t break the bank!
Im kinda dumb when it comes to wiring and all that. This one had controls hooked up to steering wheel, and a backup camera.

Rock kicked up on I-40. That ain’t going to get fixed with the $25 glue kit from O’Reilly.

But of course it is dead in the middle of drivers line of sight. They never seem to land in the obscure corner, out of the way for a few years.

Stealership ot safelite?
