Nfab direction snafu Pretty sure the instruction were written for a Tacoma and are correct only for that vehicle. Bolt holes must be symmetrical and in same locations on each vehicle?

Waiting PM and email sent.

Part time 4WD vs Limited I also live in SW PA (USC) and very recently traded a 2012 limited for a 2016 Trail, so I haven't been through a winter with the new one yet. The Limited was a nice ride and not having to worry about engaging 4WD was nice and lazy. But I used to have a 99 (01?) T4R and...

N-fab nerf barfs Like he said, not only no protection but worse than nothing if you wack them on a rock. They bolt to sheet metal.

N-fab nerf barfs I thought they looked nice on other people's rigs but not so sure I like them now. Although they do look much better than the OEM running boards that I used to have, I'm less impressed now that they are on my truck. Wish I would have just got sliders like I had originally...

Which model? I drove a '12 Limited for 3+ years and thought it drove smooth and buttery. Traded it in for a '16 TEP with KDSS and was amazed how nice the new truck drives on the road (it's only a week old, too scared to take it off road yet. Maybe next week). Smooth, composed and quiet with...

Cabin noise Just traded a 12 Limited for a 16 TEP and it does seem quieter (both versions had/have stock street tires). But I am almost positive that the majority of the difference is due to the fact that the Limited had window deflectors and the new TE doesn't (yet): in the Limited, it always...

Song info I have a '12 with non-JBL. On the audio display screen there are 3 touch buttons across the bottom - from left "scan", "text" and a button with a picture of a speaker (takes you to a screen to adjust sound quality). The "text" button takes me to a screen that usually shows the...

Good deal? Price is consistent with or better than what is available on autotrader.com or cars.com. Bigger city dealers want a hell of a lot more. New Limiteds invoice for around $38,500 without auto running boards or big JBL stereo; so this one is depreciated about 10%. Plus it's certified...

Probably a dumb question (or at least one with an obvious answer - just not to me): How do you tell if a Trail has KDSS or not? I'm looking at a 2012 online from a dealer and the salesperson says it does have KDSS but it took a while for her to come up with that assertion. From the pictures, you...
