The Zekzoop mat in the link appears to be the same as the one I installed on my 2025 Off Road non-premium. The installation was easy with supplied fasteners and existing holes. However, I would describe any noise reduction as minimal. I still hear the clattery diesel noise at times when the...

Thanks, Hoptown! I'm going with what you said and I observed and not with what the OP said.

EXACTLY what I want to do. There is an older thread about this: https://www.tacoma4g.com/forum/threads/control-aftermarket-lights-with-high-beam-lever-in-addition-to-high-beams.13667/

Thanks for the link!

Thanks for your comments, Stuck. I have tried to compare how much slippage vs. acceleration with the traction control turned off. I don't notice a difference, at least on dry pavement. I'll try it sometime in the rain; maybe the traction control actually would react better/faster than my right...

Excuse me, but can anyone with professional training or access to official Toyota documentation weigh in on this? I am not an expert in AI and have used Gemini more than ChatGPT, but I wanted to see the source of the answer shown in the screenshot. To do that I gave exactly the same prompt to...

Thank you, Andrew, great write-up. I noticed one difference between yours and Team Oil Drop: TOD says that the crush washers should have the 'seam up' when the bolt is lying on a table with threads up, in other words OPPOSITE of what you said here. I have just removed the fill plug from my...

I guess I'm driving from Texas to Kentucky for any warranty work...

Yes, exactly. I am really not a truck guy by heart, rather by necessity. Just for driving I would have been much happier spending the same money on a Civic Type R. With all the various ways to reduce this problem (other than driving around with a bunch of dead weight in the bed), why do we...

Alright, I'm sick of all the misinformation going on around 4th Gen Tacoma rear differentials and traction control systems. If you believe that A-TRAC is present on ANY version of 2024+ Tacoma, please reply with some documentation other than this pre-launch Toyota press release from May 18...

I have a 2025 TRD O/R with manual transmission and it has a very strange noise that seems to come from the rear passenger side SOMETIMES. It is sort of a wind or fan noise and I have noticed that it begins when I am messing with the climate control. Specifically, the noise happens when I turn...

Even though the Predator steps were put on a high percentage of the trucks coming through Gulf States Toyota (all of Texas etc), many people apparently hate them and they are flimsy. I would think you could find a set locally from somebody who took them off right after delivery. I don't know...

I'm extremely interested in the rev hang situation. If anyone can confirm that it was 'fixed' (software update or some physical change, from Toyota) then I want it! My '25 OR manual, delivered Feb and built last December or January, certainly DOES have significant rev hang. It's not a big...

You make some good points. I'm still not giving them more money.

If your truck is stock (no suspension mods, no tire size change, nothing heavy in the bed or on the hitch), and the lights were correctly aimed at the factory, then the light aiming dial belongs at position zero. The numbers on that dial do not represent either inches or degrees, they are just...
