I'm not certain but I believe that to be etched letters / numbers on the bulb or housing. If you look online you'll see this to be normal for everyone and not a defect.
I don't think they are de-tuned in the traditional sense, they just have a 900 RPM lower redline (and thus don't get the last bit of power on the top end). I've seen automatics in videos shift early sometimes at the same redline the manual trucks have; I think it has something to do with the...
Oh wow, completely flexed out and no rubbing without a lift? Interesting; do you have the SDM option? I've been looking at this size over the 285 /70 r17 but have been nervous about rubbing when turning while flexed, especially with the stock wheels (which almost no one seems to keep after a...
I'm wondering how 285 75 r17s or 295 70 r17s work on the stock wheels as well. It seems like most people change out their wheels with new tires, but I quite like the factory wheels and see no reason to change them if I don't have to. If anything I can always fall back to the 285 70 r17s but I'm...
It is a bummer but glad to hear they are taking care of you. Silver lining is that you'll have a new transmission after the process change, while the rest of us have to just wait and see if it will happen as I don't think there is a way to see if ours is cracked / going to crack.
Thank you for the information, and I hope the warranty work goes smoothly and quickly for you. I thought that all of the failures would be within a few thousand miles, and as such it does worry me a bit to find one fail at over 10k miles. I'm thinking about that extended warranty right now...
Sorry, that is a transmission swap; there is a TSB as the poster above suggested. May I ask what mileage you had before this happened and if there were warning signs (I own a 6MT in that VIN range as well).
I wonder if it is a combination of the increased torque down low and the automatic not locking up due to whatever the computer decides. I have the 6MT so whenever I have obstacles / anything more than a mild climb I'm in 4LO anyway.
Yes, yes - I very well know that I am not, and that I can be too much of a square. Still... does that make me wrong? Fall to hedonism and destroy the very thing you enjoyed, or exercise some discipline and self restraint to leave it for the next generation. Perhaps I was too impressionable as a...
No; someone left an insightful, yet respectful comment for OP and any other thread viewers that educates them about the most respectful way to cross rivers and keep the environment intact for others to enjoy. Your immature and irrelevant comment does no one any favors and serves only to...
Being good stewards of the environment we all enjoy is not being a "Karen". I'll bet my mortgage that Theodore Roosevelt is more of a man than you ever will be and he was a huge conservationist. The point isn't to never touch nature; it is to enjoy it so that others in the future can experience...
Oops my mistake; I should have looked at your vehicle badge under your profile before posting. I was looking at getting the trailhunter fenders for more clearance on mines (but not worth the cost atm) and as such thought you were doing the same.
It is pricy but there is a way to do it in an OEM fashion: https://raveoffroad.com/products/oem-wide-fender-flares-viper-cut-bumper-kit-for-2024-tacoma
Not worth it to me right now but certainly an option.
Hey, to be fair, I didn't tell him to buy it or say that it was a good buy.... just that it was what he was looking for. Personally, if I'm to be honest, I'm not a fan of the look anyhow so price or not this isn't in my cards.
A new, wet microfiber gave me really bad swirls, however I was able to hide them with the screenprotech kit. Don't see them at all anymore. Lesson learned; install a screen protector right away since the dash plastic is made out of jello.... thankfully with the kit I can avoid installing a new...
