See I am the complete opposite. I had heads up display in 2 of my previous vehicles because the trim I bought for other features had it, and I hated it. I always turned it off. So it not being in my truck is actually a relief.

I tow a 18' fishing boat weighing around 3200lbs combined with the trailer. So far I have not needed the cooler as the temps have seemed in normal operating range. But the more inclines you have to drive up and the lower your speed, the more the transmission temperature will increase as it will...

Wheels: OEM TRD Pro 18x8.5 +20 offset Tires: 275/70R18 Nitto Terra Grappler G3 Suspension: Stock

So I got an update on this after reaching out. There is a new part number specifically for the transfer case oil they just released. 00279-DGOLF. It is the new part number specifically for 75W LF transfer case oil. Its expensive compared to aftermarket solutions(Retail is $148 CAD here) but...

Oh nice an actual parts breakdown. Been wanting to see one of these. I kind of figured it would at least come with new tie rods and the lower knuckles to adjust the control arm angle.

Ahh that explains it. Well thankfully once its finally available, the one for my truck is the cheap kit 😅

I don't know if it does or not. From some of the photos of the actual kit people have bought, it doesn't appear to have axles in it. Would also explain why it is soo much cheaper than the Tundra kit.

Nice! I just did this as well! I installed both portions but I don't really know how much it increases sound over just the axle portion. Looking inside the center mufflers there is a slight difference in baffling but going by your sound clip its hard to tell if its any different.

I wouldn't call it a downgrade necessarily. It is a different type of shock for a different type of application. Different dampening profile and different intended application. The TRD Off Road shocks are designed with off-roading in mind, so for example, the remote reservoirs will handle high...

Typically the Off Road shocks with the remote reservoirs are better suited for continuous more strenuous off roading due to better heat dissipation and being valved more towards off roading conditions. The Bilstein shocks in the lift kit will ride firmer and be more planted on road but are still...

Unless you can find a takeoff suspension kit for a really good price, I would just recommend the lift kit. The Pro suspension is insanely expensive otherwise. Lift kit also gives it the perfect look when paired with 285/70R17s or 285/75R17s The ride height specs straight from Toyota: TRD Pro...

TRD Pros don’t even really net you much height difference from the suspension. Maybe slightly more height in the front as it looks like there is less rake(they are probably close to a level kit height wise maybe?). Main height difference is off the tires being an inch larger. My truck with...

A lot of dealers actually use 75w90 instead of 75w85. Mobil Delvac is the oil supplier for Toyota and the oil they supply us at our dealership is 75w90 GL-5 MT1 spec gear oil.

Will this bumper retain the use of any front recovery hooks(OEM accessory or aftermarket) already installed in the factory location or do they need to be removed?

Yea unfortunately we do not get the power tailgate or the digital rear view mirror as options on the Premium. You have to spend something like 7-8k more to go the the Limited trim(which we only get as a hybrid) or go up to the TRD Pro/Trailhunter to get those features. Its disappointing to me...
