Q: Where can I find a front drivers side seat for a 98 toyota tacoma?
I have a 98 Toyota tacoma and I have been searching for ages for a new front drivers side seat. Can anyone tell me where the best place to find one would be or point me in the direction of one? Would the seats from a 96, 97, 99, 2000 tacoma fit the car? I really need to find this seat fast, its the last part I need to completely restore my truck.

A: What I’ve done in the past is contact the bigger or cheaper auto wreckers and compare their prices and then I’ve compared the U pick auto wreckers prices and usually I end up pulling out the seats myself.Then I clean and even soap scrub the seats , allow them to sit and dry then install them using new bolts etc if possible.

To me if you want both seats to match either you need to remove or buy two seats clean etc or have the two old seats you in it reupholstered by a auto custom upholstery shop.Really if you’ve the cash you could order new seats or even have them custom made for you.

Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way 100% you can buy used seats for it bec now a days most of the auto wreckers all are connected to each other via the net etc and if the wreckers in your area don’t have the part you can get them to order them for you through their contacts.

Q: How difficult is it to install A/C in a 95 Toyota Tacoma?
I’m looking at buying a 95 Toyota Tacoma. A/C was an option and the original owner did not have it installed. The bolt are there to install it but how hard would it be. I’m somewhat handy. Is this something a mechanic would have to do or what?

A: Will be cheaper to look for a truck with the AC already installed, even if you may need to have that one’s AC fixed.

Q: Which was the last year that the Toyota Tacoma was made in Japan?
I want to buy a Toyota Tacoma but was looking at the 2009 models and they are assembled in Tijuana ,Mexico. I know Toyota is still a high quality vehicle even though this is the case, but I would rather get a slightly older model that was made in JAPAN- Transmission and Engine Which was the last model year where the Truck was made/ assembled in Japan? Thanks.
The sticker on the 2009 models say 35% parts from Japan but none are for the Engine or Transmission. Those parts state made in USA.

A: The bed for the Tacoma is manufactured in Mexico, but the Truck itself is assembled at the NUMMI plant in California. That has been the case since the introduction of the “Tacoma” from the “Toyota Truck”. The last “truck” that Toyota produced in Japan for sale in the US was the T100 before the introduction of the Tundra which replaced it and is was produced in Princeton, Indiana, and now in San Antonia, Texas.

Hope this helps.

Q: Can a person DIY an alignment at their home garage on a Toyota Tacoma 4×4?
I have a 2000 Toyota Tacoma 4wd and I would like to try and save $70 bucks if I can do the alignment myself. So far my camber on my driver side right tire is off i know this because of the abnormal tire wear. If I can rent some tools what would I need?

A: I would say it wouldn’t be worth the time,and effort ,machines are made for precise degree angles why spend hours of guessing if its going to work and jeopordize your tires wear over time , and just have to pay someone to fix it anyway.Some things are not worth the hassle and better to get it done right the first time.Just because you can go to a store and rent a nail gun and compressor doesn’t mean your qualified to build a house.Just my 2 cents.

Q: How do I disable a 2004 Toyota Tacoma?
I have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma that I want to be disabled temporarily. Anyone know how to do something easy to disable it?

A: Underneath the hood of the vehicle, there is a fuse box on the driver’s side. Removing the relay (a square plastic removable piece, much larger then a regular fuse) labeled “starter” would disable it from starting until it is reinstalled. They just pull out, and are easily reinstalled.

Q: How do I get rid of the beeping noise in my 2009 Toyota Tacoma?
I just bought a new 2009 Toyota Tacoma and It has a beeping tone that happens every time you start the car, put the car in reverse, take your seatbelt of when your driving, and try to listen to the radio with the door open. Its enough to drive you crazy. Does anyone know how to get rid of that noise all together, or disengage it. I have only had the truck for two months and if I cant get rid of it I will seriously consider trading it in for something else.

A: It’s fully covered by the warranty; Take it to a dealer !

A: You were looking at the new 2009 model with the upgraded audio system and the sub-woofer factory accessory. The box between the two back seats is a housing for the subwoofer speaker.

Q: Do 2008 Toyota tacoma trucks come with aux/mp3 outlets when purchased new?
I am curious if toyota trucks with premium sound systems 2008 specifically come with these outlets as i am told two different things. Some vehicles have them hidden so i thought someone out there might know for sure. I have a 2008 tacoma with trd off-road pkg and the jbl sound system and cannot locate this outlet if it does have it.

A: If you have one it would either be in the center console,if you have one,or under the radio where the black square blanks are.

Q: When can i get a good rebate on a toyota tacoma?
I am 8k upside down on a tacoma and looking for tacoma 4 door with a rebate?? when is the best rebates on toyota?

A: Probably the best time is when they will be switching over to a new model year. Toyota did it somewhat early this year and they came in around late July. The Tacoma is tough, Toyota makes as much as they need you won’t see them back up on dealer lots too much, so if you see anything $1000 or more I would take it, probably won’t go any higher.

Q: What is the recommended oil on a 2001 toyota tacoma 4cyl?

Does anybody know what is the recommended oil to put and what is the best oil i can put? how about the oil filter? also what brands are better?? thanks

A: Synthetic Castrol or Mobil Oil are my top choices. Use 20 W 50 multigrade. As for filters try TOYOTA !!!! The price difference is not so big if compared to aftermarket brands of acceptable quality.
Good Luck

I would like to add gas capacity to my 1998 Toyota Tacoma 4×4 truck. Where can I get a replacement tank that is larger than the 15 gallon stock, or where can I get a second gas tank that will fit this unit.

A: ttora.com is a really great forum for hard to find info. i would ask some of the folks there; might be someone trying to sell what you are looking for. there is probably a local chapter near you.

Q: Where to buy a ladder rack for a Toyota Tacoma?
K, I have a company truck that needs a roof ladder rack with three crossmembers

The truck is a 2008 Toyota Tacoma
It will need to be mounted on its camper shell

If you need more info for a better answer, let me know
Again, this is a company truck. I want something that will last, and don’t have the time to have one custom fabricated. I just need to know a good place to get one; price wise and you-get-what-you-pay-for wise.

A: Easy go to a fabrications shop and have them build one for you. A welding shop could do the same thing. Try farm fabricators, they tend to have the best skills because of the equipment they work with and the creativity level needed for their field.

Q: How much should i pay for a 2008 Toyota Tacoma?
I’m looking at a 08 Tacoma at a Toyota dealership. It’s a crew cab, 4×4, TRD Off road with 27000 miles and a 6spd manual transmission. The dealer has a sticker price on it of $28000, but I’ve looked it up using Edmunds TMV and they say its going for right around $20000. So what would be a good price for this truck and what would be the best way of getting it? Any help will be great! Thanks a ton!!

A: If you’ve done your research, obtained a price consensus as suggested by various vehicle price reference sources and compared the vehicle to those like it being sold in your area, then you’ve already established what the vehicle’s reasonable market value happens to be.

It’s simply up to you to negotiate with the dealer to obtain whatever price you can that’s as close to the price you believe is fair as possible. If not, you have a decision to make whether the additional cost the dealer is insisting upon to sell you that particular vehicle is worth whatever premium he may choose to hold-out for.

And it may very well prove to be that the minimum price the dealer is willing to accept and the maximum price you’re willing to pay will be vastly different sums.

Best of luck. I hope this helps.
