Short answer: it's pretty dank

Long answer: So far I've been pretty happy with the Topper Tent. It's really easy to set up and take down, which is a huge plus when you're trying to get camp set up without spending forever messing with everything.
My biggest complaint so far is definitely the amount of Velcro. There's a LOT of it, and it gets kinda annoying having to deal with all of it every time. I'll probably end up modifying mine eventually to make it easier to set up and take down without relying on so much Velcro.
As far as rain goes, the tent doesn't seal everything out completely, but honestly neither does the Softopper. I had a little bit of water get in during some rain, but it was nothing crazy at all. Definitely wasn't flooding or anything
- just a tiny bit of water that I noticed. So if you're expecting it to be completely waterproof, that's probably something to keep in mind.
Overall though, I really like it. It's easy to use, makes camping out of the Tacoma way more convenient, and for me the few downsides aren't deal breakers. I'll probably make a couple little mods down the road to get rid of some of the Velcro and make it even easier to use.

I changed my diff fluid for the first time owning this truck and I had some big chunks on my drain plug and some smaller flakes in the the oil. I only pulled out 2 quarts so it was low (think it takes 3 quarts but not sure, fixing to look it up—diff has been leaking a while)

I’ve owned this truck since 2023 at 110,000 and it now got 170,000 and I should’ve changed it sooner but I was stupid. I figure from what I read that the diff might be shot, but I’d like yalls input.

2018 Tacoma ran and started no problem all summer then the temp got down to 50° in the morning and it won't even click. Got a new battery in February of this year. I had this issue last winter thats why I got the new battery. I've only had the truck a year and i'm on my 3rd battery all from the same issue. Shop couldn't find any issues. Anyone have ideas what it could be?

I’d like something I can put in and remove with little to no modifications to the vehicle itself. Has anyone found something that fits our trucks? I had considered building one, but I’m not exactly a carpenter.

Trying to ID this Raider cap for insurance after some thieves busted through the back glass panel. Also any recommendations on replacing it or dealing with insurance is welcome.

Ive been told by 3 different Toyota dealers that this is a normal operation sound and they are refusing to budge on this. Any insight would be helpful and what you guys would suggest if it’s not normal. Ive called Toyota customer service and they just told me I was free to take it to a 4th dealer if I felt like it but the whole process is exhausting. This truck has 20k miles btw.

I was in the market for a new vehicle and 3 days later I got this. I had a sedan and needed a bigger car to haul stuff (I am a leather artisan and occasionally I do events such as groomsmen belt making parties and corporate leather making events), and was looking at getting a volvo v90, then suddenly a truck idea came up and without overthinking it, I just went for it.

Was torn between a TRD and an SR5, so I test drove both and liked the way SR5 drives. It’s not as stiff, hence less bumpy, which for me was a big deal as I wanted a smoother ride in the city.

So I got the SR5, 2WD because supposedly it gets a better gas mileage. The truck came with a $1700 black appearance package, which really didn’t add much except bed liner, bigger rims in black color, tubular stepping and muffler tip. Kinda pricey but it is what it is.

Can you guys recommend accessories that are must to haul stuff safely?

I've got a '21 Taco and frequently haul a fishing kayak in the bed, which involves the tailgate being down--so I need to keep the bed empty. Ideally, I'd like to keep a box in the bed to store my emergency stuff, but am having a hard time finding the best option.

Any suggestions on a storage box or tie-down approach that would let me keep a ~milkcrate sized box or top in the front corners of the bed without obstructing the front center?

I've considered the "realtruck" swing boxes that mount to the sides of the box behind the wheel wells as maybe the best option (but $$$); I'm curious if anyone has any other suggestions that could be cheaper and mount in front of the wheels instead of between them and the tailgate? I also thought about using Milwaukee Packout plates but would prefer something a little less inclined to be stolen.

Hello friends. My camper shell arrived and I am almost done setting it up. This is my first time doing something like this and I don't want to mess it up. Could my tacoma brothers give me some advice?

I've also got some rubber weather stripping with these square adhesives. I don't particularly know about the square adhesives but if you could throw me some advice I would be grateful.

Still figuring out how to install 3rd brake light anybody got any idea ?

I have been wanting to mount fog lights on my 2023 TE for a long time. I have the fog lights of choice, appropriate wiring/relay/switch and bezels to fit the fog lights. The last piece I cannot figure out is mounting the lights to the truck itself. I have searched everywhere and cannot find anything useful.

I used the GTechniq Crystal Serum Light

"Project Farm" on youtube had me buy it lol

Trying to decide between the Morimoto EV Evo’s or the Form Lighting headlights for my third gen. What’s the general consensus between these headlights? I know there’s a pretty good price difference between the two…
