Have a little mechanical sympathy and throw that shit in 4Lo, it's got 8 gears it'll be alright.

Got some center caps for my steelies Getting them on was a pain in the ass, combination of punching, rubber mallet and kicking eventually did the trick. Was considerably more violent than anticipated.

I went to a dealer for a potential warranty job that was considerably less serious than this and also got denied a loaner.. whatever new policy this is sucks. It should be a given if you have just bought a brand new vehicle and it's in the shop for anything that you get a loaner. Left the...

Figured I'd contribute, since the unmentionable other site has.. issues. Transfer Case: 2Hi, 4Hi, or 4Lo - 2Hi then 4Hi, then 4Lo Transmission Shifter Position: “D” or manual selection (S1, S2, S3, etc.) - S2 in 2Hi, S1 in 4Hi, D in 4Lo Drive Mode: Normal, Eco, Sport, etc. - No drive mode...

Pull back the boot on the bell housing and put some red n tacky or other high temp moly lube on it (not WD40, white lithium is meh here) Welcome to manual Toyota ownership hope you like doing that every 5000 miles :cwl: My current truck is auto but I had a red 2G and a 93 pickup and the...

I mean I don't think it's great or not, they're just a choice. Not going to shill but I think the anti oiled fabric filter stuff is a little overblown. In the tuner car scene they're much more prominent than here on trucks and almost never the cause of engine failure lol There's definitely...

I also don't like this test because he misses a crucial piece of how an air filter works. First of all almost all airboxes pull UP into the filter. This way gravity can do some of the filtering for you, how convenient. Secondly, how well the filter seals is probably more important than the...

I'd take this study used here on Nicoclub with a gigantic grain of salt. https://www.dieselplace.com/threads/the-k-amp-n-report.66536/ Ultimately, K&N filter will not filter as well as OEM paper. Aftermarket cheap paper will not filter or be as efficient as OEM paper or K&N. If you want...

thanks man, I'm very happy with them. My guy hooked me up with some cool TRD lugnuts for em Waiting on 4 to come in because it was a set of 20, so we're currently double locked :cwl: lol

Got some OEM steelies, ditched the TRD OR wheels. I like these way more, probably how the truck should have come from the factory. Definitely the end game wheel set. Current tires are the TRD OR BFGs 265/70/17s, I think I'll go 255/75/17 next for a 32.

Exactly what I've seen after offroading with my Scan Gauge, but even during a 10mi 5600ft climb in 4Lo, nothing overheated. Ambient was close to 90F, engine oil was around 230, trans fluid around 230 as well locked into 4Lo. I'm doing 5000 mile OCI, and I'll be changing the trans fluid every...

They also don't give a fk if you're buying an SR. They don't make money on those, the longer you take with the salesman the less time he has to sell TrailHunter and TRD Pros :cwl: When I walked in to SF Toyota and said I'm buying that SR over there in cash and I don't want to sit in or test...

That's why I had my favorite independent shop do my alignment. I knew the dealer would fk it up.

This is definitely not the taco lean, more just the bed sitting to the left of it's adjustment. This is how to fix it on the 3G. I doubt the 4G is much different. https://ridingtwoup.wordpress.com/2018/12/09/aligning-the-tacomas-bed-with-the-cab/ I'm not going to bother though, if the dealer...

Well you're probably going to have some on the trailhunter because you've got the factory lift. I wouldn't entirely doubt that Toyota specced in some positive camber for reduced steering effort with big tires, and maybe more stability offroad. Id just start with zero toe or like that guys above...
