Westin Perfect Match Rear Step Bumper Installation - 2000 Toyota Tacoma

On this 2000 Toyota Tacoma we're going to review and install part number 31018. This western perfect match series rear step bumper. This is what our original bumper looks like on the vehicle, as you can see it has seen better days so we're going to replace the entire bumper with a new one. All right this is what our new bumper looks like once installed on our Tacoma. Of course first off you notice that's the exact same style bumper that was on there origanilly. Except minus all the ruffles. Everythng is going to be pretty much the same as the original bumper, again the tread on the top of the bumper is going to be the same shape, and also the tread pattern is going to be the same on top of that so it has a bumper capacity for towing if you use it for that. Comes complete with all new hardware needed to install your license plate. It also comes with a plug for the hole for the bumper if you ever put a hitch ball in there.

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2000 Toyota Tacoma - Curt

Today on our 2000 Toyota Tacoma we'll be installing Curt Hitch, part number 13013. Here's what our hitch looks like installed on our vehicle. Now we'll go ahead and give you a couple measurements in helping you choose some accessories for your hitch such as a ball mount, a bicycle rack, or a cargo carrier. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper is approximately 3 inches, and from the top of the opening in the hitch to the ground is approximately 22 inches. Let's go ahead and install our hitch. To begin with, we need to go ahead and undo the two license plate lights.

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2000 Toyota Tacoma

This part number will fit 1995-1/2 - 2004 Toyota Tacomas and 1985-1995 Toyota pickups. The first steps involved is taking off the taillight assemblies. Well put them off to the side and then run our wiring inside. We will start on the drivers side first and work our way to the passengers side. Well disconnect the taillight by unplugging this electrical plug here. We will set the taillight assembly off to the side. What were going to do now is install the left hand part of the harness. Were going to follow this harness down through the body and follow that route and we will come back with this part with the yellow wire back up the same way. We will T it off here and well make a couple more connections. Now we will take our ground wire and run it the same way, we will overlap it and ground it to this piece of steel here.

2000 Toyota Tacoma Questions and Answers

• Can 4.80-12 Trailer Tires and Wheels be Replaced by 175/80-13 Tires and Wheels
  
• The radial tires at size 175/80-13, are going to be 7 inches wide; too wide to be able to fit without incident on your trailer, so you will need to go with a bias ply tire. The wheels that we carry, unless otherwise noted, have a zero offset. This means that the extra width will be split evenly on each side of the tire. However, there will be very little room if you just have 1-3/4 inches of clearance. Make sure you double and triple check the measurements before ordering. As you are...

• Will Yakima Kayak Carrier Saddles Fit the T-Slot in TracRac Ladder Rack Crossbars
  
• The slot width in the TracRac ladder rack crossbars is under 3/4 of an inch wide. The T-bolt heads of the Yakima and Whispbar roof kayak carriers are approximately the same width (3/4 of an inch by 3/8 of an inch) so you could use them in the TracRac bars though they have not been officially tested together.

• Is Tacoma Mounting Kit # TA34000 Needed to Use TracRac Pro2 Ladder Rack # TA37001 in 2000 Tacoma
  
• The TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TA27000-01 that fits your 2000 Toyota Tacoma does indeed require the Tacoma Mounting Kit # TA34000. Their Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TA37001 does NOT require this mounting kit. I verified this with my contact at TracRac. I have linked the written installation instructions for you as well as some cargo control products that may be of interest. If you ever need it, an add-on Cantilever Extension # TA24001 is also available.

• Tail Light Fuse Blows On 2000 Toyota Tacoma When Trailer Is Connected To The Trailer Hitch
  
• Since it is blowing the fuses only when the trailer is connected to the hitch it is probably a short on the trailer wiring. You will want to start by testing the installation of the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118379. Without the trailer hooked up you will need to use a circuit tester like the Quickee Circuit Tester, # 3808, and test each wire going into the black converter box on the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118379, as its function is activated.

• The Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 1155-1, for your 2000 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner 2WD is compatible with the Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar #5250. The Falcon 5250 tow bar is an older design and is no longer made and was replaced by the newer Falcon # RM-522 and Falcon 2, # RM-520. The quick disconnect bar is not included with the base plates. It is normally included with the Roadmaster tow bar. If you need the quick disconnect bar you will need to use the Roadmaster Quick Disconnect...

• Recommended Air Bag Suspension for 2000 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4
  
• For rear air helper springs for your 2000 Tacoma TRD 4WD, I'd recommend the Firestone # F2304 that you referenced. Because your truck is a 4x4 with the TRD package, you'll also need the # F2366 spacer kit. According to Firestone, you should NOT run the bags while they're completely empty. They recommend keeping at least 5 psi of pressure in the air bags. Running them empty can damage the air bags. The more air you add to the springs, the stiffer they will get. The larger the load...

• Longest Rhino Rack Roof Rack Track Availability and Can Yakima Racks fit Them
  
• I'll use your numbering for each of your questions so that they are easy for you to find. A. The longest track is actually the part # RRRTS518 which measures 92-5/16 inches long. B. These tracks are compatible with Yakima roof rack setups. The Landing Pad1 part # Y00221, the control towers, # Y00152, and crossbars, # Y00409 and round bar adapter # Y03536 would be what you need to install a Yakima rack in the tracks. C. The tracks will be limited by the weight capacity of the rack...

• 12 Volt Pin on Aftermarket 7-Way on a 2000 Toyota Tacoma is Hot All the Time
  
• On some vehicles, the 12 volt circuit is hot all the time. Since you hardwired in the # ETBC7, it is directly connected to the battery via a 40 amp circuit breaker so it should be hot all the time. This is nothing to be concerned about unless something is plugged in and drawing power. Just remember that if you will be parked for a long time, disconnect the trailer! If there is nothing on the trailer that uses the 12 volt pin then you will not have to disconnect the trailer. Even though...

• Drop Leg for A-frame Jack BD155033
  
• The Drop Leg for etrailer and Ram Jacks # JF-1005H-Z will fit jack inner tubes with an outer diameter of 2-inches, like that on the Bulldog # BD155033. A preferred option is to use the Fastway Flip Automatic Fold-Up Jack Foot # FA88-00-6500. This will provide the benefit of the drop leg extension but without the hassle of removing the pin for travel.

• Can SnowBear Snow Plows be Used on Public Roads
  
• I spoke with my contact at SnowBear and he informed me that SnowBear does not recommend any of its snowplow systems to be driven down public roads as its snowplow systems will encroach lamp illumination patterns as they do not maintain an integrated headlamp system for illumination of day time running lights, low and high beam dusk to dawn illumination including parking lights as well as directional turn signal lights. SnowBear offers an off-road light kit which assists in night time...

• The Curt Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # 13013, will not interfere with the spare tire on your 2000 Toyota Tacoma. I have attached an installation video for you to check out. Some items you may need to complete your Class III towing setup are the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 2923, the Pin and Clip, part # PC3, the Tow Ready 2 Inch Hitch ball, part # 19247, and the Draw-Tite T-One Wiring Harness, part # 118379.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2000 Toyota Tacoma
  
• For a Draw Tite Hitch that has been confirmed to fit your 2000 Toyota Tacoma you would want the part # 75078. The part # 75031 that you referenced is designed to fit older Toyota trucks so I cannot recommend it for you. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch...

• When and Why You Need a Brake Controller, 2000 Toyota Tacoma
  
• The major reason for needing a brake controller is safety. Without a brake controller to engage the trailer brakes you would have to rely on the towing vehicle to stop itself and the trailer. Because trailers are often heavy there is a lot of momentum that needs to be slowed and vehicle brakes are not made for this application, especially in an emergency situation. Usually trailer brakes and a brake controller are recommended when the gross trailer weight, loaded and ready to tow, is...

• Recommended Suspension Enhancements for a 2000 Toyota Tacoma TRD SR5 4 Wheel Drive
  
• The air spacer kit like # F2366 is a necessity and allows air springs like # F2304 to be installed on vehicles with 2-inch lift. A union T-fitting # F3025-1 will route two incoming air lines into one outgoing line or splits one incoming air line into two outgoing lines. You can use with 1/4 inch push-to-connect air lines. Adding air bags like # F2304 will help maintain even load distribution with air pressure and leveling off-center loads. Another suspension enhancement option...

• Troubleshooting Hyperflashing Lighting on Trailer Towed by 2000 Toytoa Tacoma

Lets begin by troubleshooting the converter/trailer connector on the vehicle. Use your circuit tester or voltmeter on the trailer connector while each function is activated. There should be no voltage on the pins unless the function is activated. If you are not getting voltage at the connector as a certain function is activated, check the circuits on the...

• Will a Roof Top Tent Fit the Yakima BedRock Rack in a 2000 Toyota Tacoma
  
• I have a solution for you but a roof tent such as the Yakima SkyRise Rooftop Tent # Y07406 is not the best option for a truck bed rack like the Yakima BedRock # Y01140-66. The issue of clearance that you mentioned is one issue and the other is the distance from the ground to where the ladder attaches. The ladder supports part of the weight of the occupied tent and if it cannot extend far enough or is at a steep angle it would not be able to properly support the tent. For your 2000 Toyota...

• Trailer Wiring Harness for 2000 Toyota Tacoma Shows 11.1 Volts at 4-Way Trailer Connector
  
• The 11.1 volts seems a smidge low since you should still be near 12 volts at the 4-Way. You can try moving the ground wire for the converter to a different location. Grounding it by itself and not to a shared ground location works best. Make sure it is attached to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface with no paint or undercoating. If the main trailer side connector ground is not attached to the trailer frame then the circuit cannot be completed and you would not have any lights...

• Troubleshooting T-1 Harness Left Turn Circuit on 2000 Toyota Tacoma
  
• You can start by troubleshooting the converter. Use a circuit tester like part # 40376 and test the yellow wire on the input side of the converter while the left turn signal is activated. If you have power on this wire going into but not out of the converter, it has shorted out and unfortunately must be replaced. Before replacing it, you will want to carefully examine that left turn circuit on the trailer to find out if there are any wiring issues that might have caused the short. Start...
