You guys are forgetting that these engines have variable valve timing and other tweaks that allow them to properly use higher octane fuel. My own experience is that the mileage is actually better with 91 octane, but not enough to make it pay for itself. I thus use 87 octane all the time in a 2005 4x4 TRD Access Cab with 6 and 6 speed manual.

Well, which one do you want? A polish or a wax? They're totally different products. A polish cleans and repairs paint damage. A wax/sealant protects the paint and adds gloss. I did a detailing How-To here http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=126955

Stability Control by boluca

I would like to find a used access cab, 4x4 with manual trans. Any idea what year I would need to start looking at to get stability control and side airbags? I know it might be hard but those things are important to me.

The last 2 Toyota trucks I bought had a bottle of sealant/wax in the glove box. That stuff is amazing. It makes the paint so shiny and slick it's hard to believe. They sell it at the dealers, too.

My guess is that it has nothing to do with the windshield.
 
I get wind noise at the doors at 55-60mph. It's probably hopeless above 70mph. I don't think wind noise is a priority on pickup trucks, and I doubt Toyota will fix it.

I agree with responder. Its a truck...not a luxury car. Wind noise is going to be an issue, especially with a sliding back window if present. If you want a car free of wind noise you should buy a Lexus or a Mercedes.

If you are talking about a whistling noise at 70-80 in a high cross wind, there is a TSB on this and I had no trouble getting Toyota to fix it. You don't have to live with it.
 
I used a digital camera to record a short movie showing:
 
1) my speed
2) the noise itself, which is unmistakable.
 
I had to play it back for the service manager in the showroom to get away from all the shop noise, but he heard it and they fixed it.
 
Here's the link to the TSB:

I have the same clunk in my 2005 Dbl Cab 4x4 and my 2003 Dbl Cab 4x4 that I had before. I keep getting the 'its normal' speech too. I would love to hear if the jewelers grease (or anything else) fixes it.
