Just curious about what options and sizes people have come up with - wondering if I should try to get the tires swapped when I get my new 4x4 DC LB TRD Sport #4 (PK)... :-)
Thanks in advance.
upset over chips!

The only time I can really hear mine is when I'm inside the garage and engage it before backing up....then I do hear a couple of noises back there. (Nothing very loud.)

I showed your photo album of the Radiant Red Tacoma w/ tube steps to my wife. It ended up where she said to order a set of Dee Zees and she would give them to me for my birthday. The dealer stated he would knock off 10% because I just took delivery on the '05 Tacoma.
I am on a roll!
Cool.
I also joined Kodak Gallery. And I will post my photos on there as well for you to see.

Mine is a 4wd access cab with trd sport package, v6 with manual tranny.
Give me a call at 522-0297 if you want to come see it. Most of the miles at 22.3 mgg were in 2wd. I used the 4wd in the parking lot a couple of times.

PS. Happy Easter.
Is sales rep feeding me a line, or does the Tacoma's towing hitch really come without the drop hitch/ball mount now? - rpease
The TRD Sport Packages come with a mechanical limited slip. This is what toyotaoffroad.com had to say about it:
"The VSC and A-TRAC systems include Automatic Limited-slip Differential (A-LSD), which uses brake intervention in place of a mechanical-type LSD unit to help reduce tire slippage at the rear wheels (the TRD Off-Road Package uses a locking rear differential, and the TRD Sport Package is equipped with a mechanical limited-slip rear differential)."

Yes, my truck does exactly the same thing. I haven't taken it in yet but please keep us posted on what the service manager had to say.
"Double Cabs with the TRD Sport Package also include an electrochromic auto-dimming rear-view mirror."
I didn't know that was included. I haven't read this anywere else. Can anybody confirm this?

tough to get the columns to line up sine I can't force a proportional font... ;-)
I think 285s might be pushing it a little at stock height.
I would go with 265/75/16 that's almost an inch taller than the stock 265/70s
Congrats on the new truck. Be sure to post a follow up and let us know how you like it.
As for the ball mount, I did NOT get one, but had one from my last truck so wan't a biggie.
I don't believe the DeeZee tubes are really useful for getting into the truck. They do more to protect the truck from rock chips and just look good.
I just bought a silver 2005 Toyota TRD 4X4 Double Cab last November. I put a toytec 3" suspension lift on it. Just the other day I noticed bad paint chipping on the rear fenders just behind the rear doors. I also noticed chipping on the front edge of the rear doors. Is anyone else having problems with stone chips. The area on the bed in front of the rear wheels is real bad. It is already down to the metal.
Is that a prerunner you have? Is Toyota going to repaint it for you?

No, 4x4. I waiting to see the regional rep. sometime in the next couple of weeks. So far he had told the dealer no paint but I will see when he comes around. Not sure I want to take a chance on having them repaint.
