    Brake Fluid Leak

    Hi all, I have a 2005 Speedway Blue (does that even matter?) X-Runner. I have a few questions: 1. Is it an "x" runner, or is it a "cross" runner? If so, why? 2. My truck is leaking break fluid into the cab. I have been told by a reputable source that the brake and clutch share a single...

    Crunchy Taco

    Thanks for all the kind words guys. I will speak with the body shop and insurance company tomorrow. If they do total it, I'll see about parting out the body. How would that work anyway? I assume if the company totals it, then they would keep it, right? But, as others have said, I think...

    Crunchy Taco

    My baby is dead. '05 X-Runner. My first pickup. My first Taco. My love. My life. Damn you, Georgia deer! May you rot in hell! I wish all the deer hunters this season good luck. Exterminate these vermin from the face of our Earth. Make the country roads safe for all those X-Runners...

    Weekend Upgrade

    BTW, that wasn't intended to be rude. I hope it didn't come across like that. If you look just above the speedo, you'll see two screw-in clips. Unscrew these clips and then pull them down to remove them. Then, the plastic shield (not the bezel, but the thing in front of it) pulls towards...

    3M carbon fiber interior accents

    If anyone is up for painting, you can spray silver, then place a woven shelf-liner over the part, then spray with black. I've done it on a few of my RC models. The effect is nice. If you want "real" carbon, check here: http://www.uscomposites.com/carbonpage.html About $45 for enough to...

    Weekend Upgrade

    Once you remove the HVAC controls, the radio, and the speedo bezel, the center console just pops out. Grab it by the sides and pull.

    Where is My Brake Fluid Going?

    Thanks to all who replied. I'm sorry I haven't gotten back sooner, but I was doing other things. I park in the same spot and have never seen a leak. I'll try the cardboard thing this weekend. Every 6 months, the "brake" light comes on. Usually as I apply the brakes. I add maybe half a...

    stock radio sucks!!!! need help

    '05 SWB XR here. The stock head unit lacked a lot. It would "seek" and lock on stations that weren't there. No AUX input. No real features of any kind. I replaced it for a 2-DIN JVC KW-ADV-794. The swap would have taken 20 minutes. But I opted to wet-sand, paint, and matte-coat all the...

    Weekend Upgrade

    Got the Scosche 2-DIN faceplate. Took the entire center console apart. The original color was silver. I wet-sanded all the parts down. I put some denatured alcohol in a spray bottle and used that to give the parts a final wipe-down. The paint was black acrylic mixed 50/50 with Windex...

    Where is My Brake Fluid Going?

    If I do find it leaking in there, what needs to be replaced in order to stop the leak? Will I need to drain the system and re-fill/bleed after?

    Where is My Brake Fluid Going?

    '05 SWB XR. About every 6 months, I need to add brake fluid to the reservoir. I can't see a leak anywhere. Any ideas?

    Suggestions to Repair Chips

    I already have the 1500 grit and 200 grit sandpaper, rubbing compound, buffing compound, and a small buffer. I guess I just need to know where to get the paint. Thanks for the suggestions on building up the paint. I can see a previous attempt from the original owner to fill a spot. There is...

    Suggestions to Repair Chips

    Hi all, I have a few chips in my '05 SWB XR. I was wondering what my options are? I know I can get the Toyota paint pen from the dealer. Are there any other options? Will local paint shops mix up a few ounces of SWB paint and clearcoat? Or should I go with something like paintscratch.com...

    Need Body Kit Clips

    Hi all, My 05 X-Runner has some broken body clips. I would like to remove the entire body kit and replace them with new clips. Second, is there a specific manual for X-Runners, or should I run down to AutoZone and grab a stock Tacoma manual? Finally, for now, is it an "X" runner or a "cross"...
