  1. Side Steps - Yay or Nay?

    Besides the extra step, I hand wash my truck, and the steps allow me to access the roof.
  2. Differences in Octane

    Is that 91 ethanol free?
  3. Weird rattle. Transmission?

    I would try light tapping with a rubber hammer under the truck to see if you can reproduce the rattle. Check especially exhaust and heat shields which can collect gravel or make contact with body. You might also run the truck and shift back and forth between P D R ( foot firmly on brake) while...
  4. Led Headlight bulbs

    If you look at one of the other (more easily accessed) bulbs, you will see/feel a little tab on the side of the connector. Push that little tab in and the connector should pull right off. If it's tight in there ask someone with smaller hands.
  5. Why Does the Tacoma Dominate the Off-Road Pickup Segment?

    The 2nd gen Taco with the 4.0 never had that problem, but relative to the new Ranger it was pretty thirsty.. 17 mpg unburdened was about as good as it got. What I most hated on road trips was the poorly controlled cruise control. On a grade it would let the speed drop 4-5 mph and then, finally...
  6. Led Headlight bulbs

    This was mentioned in previous posts, I solved by removing the electrical connector first, and that should provide you clearance to rotate the bulb enough to remove it. The Auxitos are auxsome.
  7. Rear leaf springs for 2wd?

    How does your truck sit with the 200 lb gear out? Wondering if Ford hiked the rear on purpose to compensate for normal settling over time? When I first got my Ranger (2wd), the rear end seemed comically high relative to the front, but it looks more balanced now. Whether the change happened on...
  8. Auto Stop Not Stopping

    Glad you got the auto stop working but to answer your question on the yellow top battery.. NO not worth it.
  9. Why Does the Tacoma Dominate the Off-Road Pickup Segment?

    All good points, and it does makes you wonder when a useful component or feature goes missing from its model, even a tie-down or folding headrest when offered previously. Whatever the reason, perceptions do matter and it would have been better to not offer the item in the first place than to...
  10. Why Does the Tacoma Dominate the Off-Road Pickup Segment?

    Without a doubt.
  11. Why Does the Tacoma Dominate the Off-Road Pickup Segment?

    I consider myself brand loyal as I had 4 Rangers before I bought my 2nd gen Tacoma, which had 100k when I bought it and 200k when I sold it. Great truck, and I may well have stayed with Toyota. But the the 3rd gen was/is a big letdown in several areas, while the Ranger upped its game. It feels...
  12. Anyone check out the Bronco yet?

    Yes there were a few on my local dealers lot. Maybe just me but the Broncos look cooler in photos than in person. Probably didn't help that everything on the lot was covered in pollen, it must be spring.
  13. Why Does the Tacoma Dominate the Off-Road Pickup Segment?

    To be fair, the Tacoma frame issues were inadequate rustproofing on 1st and 2nd gen model frames through 2010, which made the frames vulnerable to rust perforation in snow belt states.
  14. WAZE Question

    Thanks for replies. Waze is on my phone (only) and switches to truck display through Android Auto when phone is connected to the truck USB. Usually takes 5-10 seconds to initialize. At that point, I can't access Waze on my phones screen unless I unplug it-- normal? Also when I use the steering...
  15. That one inch flow reducer in the OEM muffler

    Is there any concern that with age and miles the perforations may start to close up or the spring flapper stop flapping?
  16. Why Does the Tacoma Dominate the Off-Road Pickup Segment?

    Coming from a 2nd gen Tacoma, I feel Toyota earned its credibility over the years. And like the Jeep Wrangler, the Tacoma enjoys a cult-like following that the Ranger has yet to match. But just like in an actual cult, you must suspend some reality in order to be a member. Because this 3rd gen...
  17. Led Headlight bulbs

    It is 8k per bulb. I think you will be very happy with Auxitos.
