Oddly enough, that's the plan...

The dash gauge is displaying the lower 3 segments at 12.9v, like what was shown previously. Visually there are no segment lines, but the gauge will move in segmented increments. They appear to be displayed in 1v increments (i.e. 12.0-12.9, 13.0-13.9 for each segment). Not sure of the...

Following up on my previous post observations. Did some more driving around with the OBD dongle active. It appears the 12v charging system kicks in as needed. I noticed it seems to check/charge after starting up the Tacoma and will run for a short period, again reading about half on the voltage...

To me the fender flares look less like camo and more like forged carbon fiber, albeit faux fiber. My survey also mentioned rear bumper protectors that mount to the bottom of the rear bumper corners.

Nice. Does it happen to be a TME? I plan to change the exterior appearance of my X with a little TME inspiration.

I have an OBD Link dongle that I can use to monitor various parameters. When I am in P, R, or N, I will see the voltage indicator above reading at the halfway point (5 segments) and voltage at the OBD port is 13.7 to 14.1. Once I select D, the voltage indicator shows the same as above (3...

'14 EVO X was my daily. Now that the Taco is my daily, I can look into more mods for the EVO.

Initially, your local Toyota dealership, otherwise a local automotive paint shop should be able to source the correct color touchup pen. Lastly, with the paint color code, you could source the touchup pen online.

I think this looks more like a paint chip than a glass chip. The environment the truck is used in will determine the severity of that chip. Using a good paint touch up pen(s) (color and clear) to seal the chip will help prolong the effects the environment may have on that compromised surface.

Here is what the instructions actually say. Note the cleaning more often when used in dusty/off-road environments. I've always changed my serviceable air filters every oil change by simply swapping the dirty filter with a spare clean filter and then service the dirty filter, so it is ready to...

The QuickLift Elite was the first thing I ordered and installed after getting my truck. You'd think hood struts would be the norm for manufacturers.

The Yota Xpedition video also does not mention the rubber sleeves and axle brackets have a specific orientation (besides the open end facing down). There is also a molded in angle, described in the Toyota install instructions, that is to point towards the wheels.

This is also the battery that is in my '24 OR hybrid. I carpool every other week and travel, so my truck sits for a few days and intermittently a week or so. Knocking on wood, I have yet to see an issue.

Do you have the manual transmission? or the automatic?

A bit off topic, but I like the contrasting body side molding on the doors. I almost went the same route on my silver taco but ended up installing the color matching ones. I don't see them very often.

Correct. It is in the service/maintenance manual.

Agreed. Reading my previous response, I think I was answering one thought by typing another. I don't specifically defeat it on the taco. Although, I probably would if there was a dedicated button to do so. I had stumbled across the S mode defeat while exploring the features of the truck. Turns...

Same here. I was not aware of the auto setting. I've just been manually operating it.

The service manual shows the location of the seat blower motors. Since they pull air through the seat, it will be the same temperature as the cabin air.

For me, it's just a personal preference thing. I don't care for the delay of the I.C.E. on restart and will immediately look for the auto start/stop disable button in any rental cars I come across that have it. I wasn't aware tow/haul mode defeated it but found it interesting shifting to S mode...
