  1. OEM front tow hook upgrade

    Yep-yep! P/N: PT974-35250 If you get some, they will reuse your stock transit hook bolts, which are 17mm. 75ft-lb torque spec for install.
  2. Window Squeal when rolling up or down

    My driver front window does this occasionally... of course, it gets opened and closed the most. We had a particularly dusty springtime here, so I know the tracks have gotten quite a bit inside of them. It goes away for a while after a wash or rain, and even longer if I clean out the tracks with...
  3. OEM front tow hook upgrade

    My packing slip shows 5.0lbs even, so roughly 2.5lbs each feels about right after holding them. They're surprisingly chunky.
  4. OEM front tow hook upgrade

    Agreed. I would not have gotten the skid plate if not for the mods on my previous vehicle. I had a set of BBS wheels and an aftermarket exhaust - selling those after I traded it on the Tacoma paid for my skid plate and tonneau cover haha
  5. OEM front tow hook upgrade

    I snagged some OEM tow hooks for about $100 shipped over the holiday weekend. They arrived today, so I had to toss them on real quick. I was a little unsure of having some red accent on the otherwise white/black truck, but I'm digging it. :sunglasses:
  6. Front Passenger Door Clicking Noise

    Holy crap that sounds awful. I think I've opened doors of wrecked cars that sounded less bad ? Yeah, I would bring that to the dealer's attention immediately. If I had to guess without seeing it, I'd assume something is really messed up with the door check strap (the plastic arm in the middle...
  7. Adding Stickers to Rear Window??

    Back in my teenage days, I had a handful of back window stickers on my first truck for things like my exhaust, suspension, stereo, etc... but I'm not really into doing that anymore. I think it kinda clutters up an already small back window on these trucks and I feel like it just gives asshole...
  8. Took a Break From Toyota - Big Mistake, HUGE Mistake. But I'm Back Where I Belong

    Nice truck! I grew up in a "Ford family" - all of us had them. Multiple generations of F150s and such. I truly believe Ford made great trucks in the 80s/90s, but I couldn't be paid to own one now. I finally talked my dad into a Tundra about a year before I got my Tacoma and now we both love our...
  9. Ice cap 2024 Tacoma

    I'm generally not into solid black wheels on any vehicle, but these look good! That pinstriping looks pretty sharp as well. Nice ride!
  10. New 2025 Tacoma TRD Off-Road

    NIce video, Ryan! Good to have you here. Before I got my Tacoma, I was considering the CX-50 to replace a first gen CX-5 and your videos on those were helpful in selling me on them. Of course, I ended up going another direction once these trucks came out, but nonetheless I enjoy the content!
  11. Break-in period

    Seems to mirror my experience. I never thought my truck ran or shifted "bad" by any means, but just felt a little rough around the edges early on. I'm just under 7k now, but around the 4-5k mile mark, I feel like it "softened up" in a good way. Engine seems a little less spastic and gear shifts...
  12. Leer 100XQ Cap / Canopy installed

    My first vehicle was a '92 F-150 Flareside that had a Leer cap on it from the previous owner. First thing I did with that truck was remove it because my super-cool 16 year old self thought they were dorky and intended for old grandpas. Now I see them on these trucks and think "that's pretty...
  13. Car Wash Friday

    Love me some Chemical Guys. Some of their stuff is a little overhyped (and overpriced), but they have some great cleaners and air fresheners.
  14. Car Wash Friday

    Nothing better than a shiny truck and a cold beverage. Cheers to the weekend, everybody! ?
  15. Is this normal Transmission behavior?

    Mine does the same and it concerned me as well early on. To my knowledge, these torque converters are computer controlled and can basically lock/unlock at will depending on when the ECU deems it necessary. I just chalk this up to the TC lockup occurring. I think if it were actual transmission...
  16. Engine Dipstick Inaccurate reading’s

    I hate the dipstick on this engine. It's the worst one I've ever tried to read, and that is counting my wife's Crosstrek with the stupid angled dipstick. But anyway... I just dump a full 6qts in when I change the oil. You have to seriously overfill an engine to cause a problem and 0.1qts of oil...
  17. BFG KO3 275/70R18, TRD Pro Wheels on a Stock TRD Off Road (Barely Stuffed Spare Tire)

    Looks great! Love seeing white-lettered tires on a truck.?
  18. Describe your transmission behavior.

    (I am by no means an expert, so if anyone wants to add to this or correct me, then please do...) In a general sense, the torque converter works for an automatic in the same way that a clutch does for a manual - it transmits power from the engine to the transmission. Best way I've had it...
  19. Describe your transmission behavior.

    I notice this with mine as well at times and have always assumed its torque converter lockup occurring. Shouldn't be an issue if that's the case... it just seems to be more noticeable with the Tacoma than any other automatic vehicle I've owned in the past.
  20. Filling with gas, top up?

    Potential fuel evap/venting problems for an additional 5 miles of range? Hard pass on that.
