    2005 rusty frames

    You know, reading about these frame rust issues makes me glad I live in central Texas. I'll keep an eye on my frame, but mild winters and salt less roads should go a long way towards keeping my truck in good shape.

    Welcome! Also a new member and owner of a black 2wd 2013 Pre-Runner. Great truck. I'm enjoying it more and more each day.

    Back in the (uncomfortable) saddle again.

    Good point. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to give it some thought.

    Back in the (uncomfortable) saddle again.

    You're right. I could do that, but I probably won't. Several other things I'd rather spend money on...fog lights...nerf/step bars...bed cover...retirement...

    Back in the (uncomfortable) saddle again.

    Yeah, I always have the problem of either spending too much or spending too little....tools, electronics...you name it. All in all, I really like my Tacoma. It's something I feel like I can live with for a long time.

    At least the only little blue pills I use are Aleve.

    stock radio volume

    I've been a fan of XM radio for the past 6 years or so, so i use the aux input on my '13 AC for that. I do find that I have to max out the volume when I'm listening to XM or even AM/FM. When I listen to songs from my iPhone via Bluetooth the volume at max blows me away. Haven't even tried...

    Back in the (uncomfortable) saddle again.

    My '13 AC is a base Pre-Runner and has no lumbar adjustment. When I adjust the setback for a comfortable upper body position, there is just no support for my lower back. I drove a Honda Fit for 4 years and had the same issue. Bought a lumbar "pillow" and had no more issues. Traded it off a...

    Back in the (uncomfortable) saddle again.

    Replacement seats are out of the question for me in a 2 month old truck. Besides that, lumbar supports are a whole lot cheaper. I wonder though, how do replacement seats work with airbag sensors and the like?

    Back in the (uncomfortable) saddle again.

    Actually, I did something yesterday that seems to help a bunch....lumbar pillow. Mines not really a pillow. Its a wire frame with a type of stretchy mesh that you place at the base of the setback. I had the same issue with a Honda Fit, so I tried the same fix on my Tacoma. Only been driving...

    Back in the (uncomfortable) saddle again.

    About a month ago we had a severe storm pass through our community that dropped 3 trees on my garage (and my new Tacoma sitting in my driveway) and one behind the truck, blocking me in my driveway. Friends with chainsaws freed my truck and allowed me to pull my wife's Camry out of the garage...

    New Guy

    Welcome from one newbie to another. I've had my Tacoma for 6 weeks. Been thinking about it for awhile. Got exactly what I wanted and couldn't be more pleased.

    L4 vrs V-6 Real World MPG

    Yeah, I agree with Whippersnapper. I've got a couple of friends who drive F150s and they don't get the mileage claimed. I used to drive an F150 with the V6, and although the mileage in the highway wasn't bad, 21 was the best i ever got, around town i was lucky to get 15. I just bought an AC...

    Joke Thread

    A friend of mine plays the bagpipes. A local funeral director contacted him and asked him to play for the graveside service of a homeless man. Although he had no family the director thought there should be something special to mark his passing. Like most men, my friend failed to get directions...

    As I was saying before I hit the wrong button, I've been a subscriber to XM radio for about 7 years, and I'm really pleased about the installation in my Tacoma. Thought it might be of interest to someone.

    Hey, I have a question. Where's the best place on this forum to post photos showing a "how-to" for an interior mod? I've been a fan of XM radio

    Thanks. As soon as I figure out how to post photos, I'll put a couple up, although it's a bone stock basic pre-runner. I'd been looking at the Tacoma for several years. Finally bit the bullet.

    I'm new to both Tacomas and forums. Thought I'd join in and see what's going with other Tacomas owners. Mine's a black 2013 Pre-Runner access cab, with four cylinder and auto. No major plans for mods, but I might add a set of side/step bars. Daily driver and useful for runs to Lowe's and to...
