#261 of 539 just bought 2wd 1999---snow tire advice?? by bemana Jul 13, 2004 (6:21 pm)
Hey guys, just bought 2wd 1999 single cab, only option a/c for 5,500 with 65,000 mi. TX truck (no snow) and synthetic oil for it's lifespan thus far. I think I got an ok deal. I do however live in WI and have driven 2wd trucks before with extra weight in back, however I'd like to purchase some snow tires, looked on Ebay, not much luck..any advice for good snow tires at a good price that'll fit this lil' truck?? Any advice much appreciated.

I live in AL, not much snow here. I had some Bridgestone dueler A/T's on my v6 4x4 they did fine in mud, I would assume snow traction is good as well.

I had a set of Goodyear Ultragrips on my 2wd Ranger, and they were fantastic, never got stuck or slid around. On my 4wd Tacoma a have Cooper Discoverer something...pretty good, but nowhere near as good as the Goodyears (of course the 4wd makes up for that).
#264 of 539 Lock/unlock beeps....AAARG!! by akwrx Jul 18, 2004 (6:05 pm)
I just drove my new '04 Tacoma 4x4 home from Oregon to Alaska by way of Yellowstone. Great trip in a great pickup. The one complaint that I have is the incredibly annoying beeps when locking and unlocking the doors with the remote. There just have to be a way to shut those off. The manual doesn't offer any help, but I was hoping that someone here could stop me from diving in there and cutting wires!!

Replying to: akwrx (Jul 18, 2004 6:05 pm) LOL, my Highlander does the same thing, so it's not particular to your Tacoma, and yes it is annoying. But I haven't a clue how to turn it off.

Replying to: akwrx (Jul 18, 2004 6:05 pm) Those beeps are to let you know if it locked right or not. one beep means locked two means unlocked. a solid beeeeeeeeep means there is a door ajar. these beeps also sound like an alarm system and MAY keep a nearby thief at bay. If the beeps bother you that much just wait till you are further from your vehicle before you hit the button. or tape some foam around the keyless "beeper". we have installed a few keyless systems here that come wrapped in foam and when the tech forgot to take the foam off it severely muffled the beep.

Replying to: chorton (Jul 20, 2004 9:58 am) I understand the meaning and potential usefullness of the beeps. I just feel a little pretentious announcing to the world each time that I lock or unlock my doors. I don't think that the rest of the world needs to be bothered with those announcements. I find it rather odd that on my vehicles that actually have had alarm systems, one can easily disable the beeps. On the Taco that is only pretending, I have no control.         Good idea with the foam though. Kind of low tech, but that is not always a bad thing

Right after I got my 2002 Tacoma, like you, I was irritated by the beeps(VERY loud)!   I asked the dealer to disconnect the beep, and they did....no charge.   Now it only flashes the parking lights when activated or de-activated.
#269 of 539 New Taco, mileage, and bed topper by sbmackie Jul 22, 2004 (3:15 am)
Got an '04 Double Cab Pre-Runner with the V6 and auto tranny recently. Have filled tank twice, getting 19 MPG at an altitude of roughly 5500 feet (Albuquerque NM), all city driving so far. Same as the Blazer I sold to buy this truck. Question: Does anybody have a recommendation for a topper? I am favoring Lear and Snugtop at this point. Are there internet dealers for them?   Thanks Replies to this message: rogersp (Jul 28, 2004 9:25 pm)

Replying to: sbmackie (Jul 22, 2004 3:15 am) I picked up a 04 Extended Cab TRD 4x4 in January and have bought some stuff from Topper Town on Osuna. They deal with a few caps including the Snugtop which I think is probably one of the best, if not the best, cap available. The quality looks great, of course they look great as well. I dont have a cap yet but Im planning on it, about $1400. I thought about getting a retractable cover like the Pace Edwards, but one of the main reasons I bought the truck was so I could lock up the bikes and other things in the bed. Cant really do that with a tonneau cover.
