    Few shots of my 1990 pickup and a 94 XJ I picked up for $500. Recently put 31"x10.5" mud tires on it which is about as big as you can go without rubbing. The blue truck is my buddies 2017 TRD Pro

    Went with a solo fella from TW named jmeitz (can forward you his contact info if desired). He has owned his own stereo and alarm install place for 20+ years IIRC.

    The kit is his own assemblage of components as far as I can tell.

    Tacoma World thread link: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/...for-at.533197/

    The kit I bought does come with the module that uses the key fob for within range remote starting, which I will install as well. (He sells just the key fob version for much less) It costs another 150 or so to get the cell phone module upgrade. This is the part that let's you start the truck anywhere your cell phone has access to the web.

    I just ordered a remote start system from a guy on TW. Ordered up and got the cell phone module as well. I will be able to start the car anywhere I have cell phone reception. 100% plug and play, with maybe 30 minutes of install time from start to finish.

    Will be really handy on these cold mornings. The key fob will be able to start the truck from my living room.

    But I park frequently in Phoenix at the airport while traveling for work. It will be really handy to be riding the shuttle back to the lot and starting my truck with my phone from a couple of miles away to have the AC blast and cool it down come summer time.

    5.6K and counting, going to cost more then the truck!

    At least after the swap I'd be some Dana 44s and 35x12.5s away from a perma everywhere vehicle.
    Definitely need a little more juice to make it up those long steep inclines!

    Ditched the Tacoma last spring. After three transmission software updates, I couldn't deal with the gear hunting. Now I'm back to the 4.0 and loving it!

    TRD Pro grill really enhances the front end relative to the stock chrome cheese grater grill.

    Best $70 mod thus far.

    Commence Poser status!

    New to me 3rd Gen, 109K mi SR5 Sport 5VZ-FE 2WD. Needs basically nothing except preventative maintenance on LBJs and radiator. Maybe some rear tailgate struts when I get bored.


    Had one of these 1999-2002. Love being back in the saddle!

    Have had my little Tacoma for a few years now, its been a great truck as expected. This is my camping setup for the moment, works pretty well and truck hauls all my shit with no complaints, aside from having to get on the brakes a bit earlier. My only complaint with this setup is loading and unloading the camper, I might move on to some sort of DIY cargo trailer/toy hauler next, for the time being, it works great.

    If you aren't on Tacoma World I suggest getting over there asap.
    TW is pretty rad. It's super active and I've run into quite a few R3V guys over there lol
