Anyone know if the rear diff skid plate PT228-35245 will fit the SRs with leaf springs? Under the general applicability they just say all 4 link suspension vehicles. Not sure if that means it's actually a problem on leaf springs or not.
Just wanted to add that I paid attention last night and today and rev hang went back to normal. So I would assume me bypassing the clutch with my jumper created an undesirable result in the rev hang department unfortunately. But maybe more testing will rule that it was coincidence and that it...
Yeah, I really don’t pay attention to the rev hang during normal driving so it’s hard to say if mine was acting up after the test or not. It definitely doesn’t just hang there for super long amounts of time like yours seems to be doing, so maybe the bypass will work for you.
These diagrams are...
I got it swapped and test drove and it seemed like the rev hang was also bad. Then I undid it and the rev hang was/is still bad. So now I can’t tell if it’s worse than normal (and will correct itself soon) or if I just don’t pay a lot of attention to rev hang on my truck and its always like...
I can’t help with questions about the circuit itself as it’s different from the previous gen that I’m used to which was more simple for key starting. The safety switch used to simply complete the circuit for the starter relay power trigger, but now I believe it plays a small role in a more...
Thanks. It is a really sharp color and I'm glad it worked out that way. Ordinarily I kind of just get what I get, meaning what's available. I'm always chasing after whatever manual is available, and this one happened to be an order that someone gave up on, so when it became available I went and...
Just wanted to share for anyone looking. While 265/70R17 is a popular tire size, it sure doesn't seem like many buy the c-load Toyos in that size. Most opt for the SLs or the E-loads. I felt like the c-load was a good happy medium between being tougher than stock, good aggressive sidewalls, and...
Thanks for the input. We do have different perspectives since I’m starting with a lot smaller tire. I’m a teeny bit concerned about the torque loss, I think I’m going to go with off-road wheels instead and run 265/70R17. Keeps it a bit smaller and same as stock with a lot more tire options so I...
Reviving this thread for the sake of the MT....how is it driving 33's with stock gears? I have an SR MT that came with 245/70R17 tires, so they are skinny and 31" tall, and smaller than the wider 32" tall tires that come on the TRD trims. With you stepping up to 33" 265/70R18, did you notice any...
Thanks for the great write-up. This seems as good a place as any to ask my question. I picked up a 2026 SR. No BSM, no sonar. I want to install this bumper, the non-sonar PT989-3524E. I get into the instructions and they say you MUST have BSM to install this bumper.
Can anyone tell me why? Is...
It doesn’t stay accurate for all tire sizes, what I’m saying is that just because the speedometer reads fast, doesn’t mean the odometer is inaccurate. In stock form usually only one is accurate. Usually a perfect Speedo means you are shorting the odometer and slowing down its mile counting. In...
Typically the odometer is accurate while the speedo is fast.
And if it wasn’t correct on the odometer, then your math would be backwards. You’d show 31K on the dash when you actually had only gone 30K. But the odometer can’t be inaccurate like that because they can’t short people on warranties...
Look man, I know how all of them work. I have rebuilt numerous transfer cases, regeared, rebuilt stock diffs, etc. Here in a week or so I will be ripping out the ADD in my 3rd gen to replace with the full time FJ non-ADD tube so I have a more reliable 4x4 engagement (where only the tcase has to...
You keep peddling this argument that the 4x4 can't handle dry pavement, but that is simply not true. If you are driving in a straight line, there should not be any vibrations whatsoever in 4WD. Dry pavement will not hurt anything in minor turns, and certainly not in a straight line. Vibrations...
You sure your fronts are X-act contours? Husky typically only offers Weatherbeaters for manual transmission trucks (difference in dead pedal is usually the difference between manual/auto), and the website appears to support that on the 2024 also (only offering X-act on auto fronts and all rear)...
I’ve accidentally gone into R at a stop probably 3 times over the 2+ years I’ve had my 3rd gen. It’s not a real problem for me, but a collar to lift up as a lockout would have been much better than the spring loaded version. My 6-speed Frontier had it to the right of 6th, and you had to push...
