My questions are these: Can I safely remove the rail caps without voiding the warranty? Does anyone have any other suggestions for a soft type (either snap or seal and peel) tonneau cover for my Taco? The local dealer has not been much help.
I love these covers..had one on my '04 too!!! Truck looks great!! Pics to come!
Hope this helps y'all
I been in other Toyota cars that have this feature and would like to have it.
This is a great forum. I have learned so much from reading everyone's forums.
Also, I drive about 95% freeways and get about 21.5 mpg. I average between 68 to 75 mph.
AFAIR, around 92"
The last time I carried 8' goods, the ends stuck out 4-6". I usually carry 10-12' stuff. I only need my hitch mounted load support with 12+ material. With the gate down, the bed is plenty long enough to carry 10' wood and my 11' kayak without added support.
Thanks for the info. One other question ... is it true that there is a raised area towards the middle of the top. My bass guitar cabinet's smallest dimension is 19-3/4" and I hope to be able to fit it in with the top locked down. Overall the cabinet dimensions are 36-3/4 x 24-1/2 x 19-3/4".
Looking forward to the photos. Let me know when you have them.

Thanks!
We called in the regional manager because I kept pushing this vehicle should not bottom out driving down the road. I had them swap my tire and rims for the factory tires and rims from a truck on the lot as they still pushed my BFGoodrich tires were causing this to happen. They agreed they would have an issue if the factory tires caused this to bottom out. Well...the factory tires did bottom out and to turn a long story short...they replaced all the non TRD shocks on the truck with the TRD Bilstein shocks. This change has eliminated my problem with normal driving, passengers in the truck and cargo in the bed. It did bottom out a couple of weeks ago when I was hauling a trailer, but would expect this loaded down.
The dealership did this at no charge to me...Keep pushing them until you are satisfied!!!
This info is about a month old. If the dates are correct, it looks like anything ordered after 6/10 is going to be a 2006. It would be interesting ot hear from any dealers or plant employees regarding any new colors or options.
An aux input will provide far better sound, and needs no additional power.

I used one of the above units with the factory '05 radio. A side benefit is the ability to use an MP3 player, scanner, ham radio, etc... though the same input.
I don't sell these things, but I'm a satisfied customer
I like the lumbar support and color keyed grill/door handles/mirror/bumper of the Sport package (but I'm not to crazy about the hood scoop).
I like the locking rear differential, skip plate/gas tank protector of the Off-Road Package. The wheels look more rugged on the off-road, but I'm OK with the 17 inch wheels on the Sport as well.
Any other considerations I should note? Which do YOU prefer and why?!?!?
I need to make my mind up quickly... Thanks for any inputs! - Jack
Also has anyone tried the taco tunes mount kit?
I am on a waiting list for a Leer 100XQ canopy they should be out soon, any feedback on the Leer?
I am actually thinking about the BlitzSafe model for the ipod interface, also on logjam. It just came out. It's cheaper than the others because you can't control the ipod with the radio buttons. It still charges the ipod and connects directly without a worthless fm modulators. I guess I need to decide if controlling the ipod with the stereo buttons is worth 100 bucks. I'm pretty sure it's not.
i just bought this
"The TOY03-AUX works with most 2003-2005 Toyota vehicles that are equipped with a radio that has CD changer controls".
So, since mine doesn't have changer controls, I am assuming it is not compatible. However, as you said, maybe someone who has actually installed one can refute this.
Either way, I really want to go with the Delphi modulator because it also has a power jack for the XM unit, which is more convenient than having to buy & run a voltage converter off an accessory power plug.

Link to: Specific pic I am talking about
these two mods made a huge performance difference..esp. the air, sounds like a jet taking off when i gun it.
"Yes, it will work in the standard non-6 disc CD changer radio as well as it does with the 6-disc in-dash CD changer radio. It also comes complete with everything you need to install it electronically.

Case closed. Mine is on the way!
I'm still holdingoff on the K&N Intake. I heard it's an easy install and it really sounds great at the high end. Still don't know if i'm willing to allow that much dirt into my system, might go with the amsoil air filter. My flowmaster's sounding awesome as it is.
but either way, you're getting a winner!
See my post in the Tacoma Vs. Frontier thread regarding the Tacoma using premium fuel:

I was able to install the tube steps, exhaust tip, bull bar, and off-road lights by myself. The exhaust tip is a little frustrating. I had to spray some WD40 on the tail pipe to get everything to go on. There is an aluminum block spacer that fits in there pretty tight. I had to use a rubber hammer to get it to go. But it looks nice once it's on. It's not really overkill like some of the aftermarket tips out there.
Got my first ding last weekend, I was putting a suitcase in the bed, and lifted it with my hand, and didn't realize how heavy it was, and secondly, how long the suitcase was. Once my arm was fully extended, it was too late, I had already started moving it over into the bed, and got a nice ding right above the rear tire well. They just make cars with way too thin metal these days. Oh, well, I'm glad the worrying for that first ding is over.
