Why do I think it’s not the motor? Warranty it and let Toyota pay for it while your time gets wasted.

I sprayed my with Plasti Dip. Works fine for me.

Thanks for the photos; they show everything very well. I’m not overly concerned at this point. I’ll install it and evaluate. If Hellwig is truly going to test and evaluate a Tacoma, perhaps a fix will happen and current owners can get upgraded parts.

I actually got my bar today. It looks fine, smooth, with even paint. I don’t feel like the bar is the issue; it’s the mounting system. I’ve also been looking at the brackets and plates. The issue, in my opinion, is the oblong slots. At a minimum, they should have at least one hole and one oblong...

I'm committed at this point but good info. Doing some research it sounds like the bar is walking in the brackets. The paint bead would definitely alter the clamping force of the brackets and the oblong holes are no help. Curious as to why the torque specs are so different.

Mine is an 11/24 build. I had some occasional, mildly noticeable harsh shifting in the beginning when it was cold, but nothing since. Honestly, I had forgotten about it.

Guess I'm not the only one. The 4Runner 20" wheels should have been standard; they just look better, IMO. The plastic chrome wheels are ridiculous and an obvious cost-cutting move. However, they’ve become my winter wheels since there’s no resale market for them. I’m old, and I don’t mind...

I just ordered it. I'll let you know how it works out.

I didn't know anyone had a bar for our trucks. I had TRD F/R bars on my 2013 Tundra CM and it really improved the handling. Now I'm considering this bar for my truck.

You bring up some interesting questions. First, I would try disconnecting the rear shocks to see if you get any warnings. Regardless, if you decide to replace the shocks, you’ll probably need to do all four corners and take AVS out of the equation completely.

I just noticed the other day that the two rearward lights have moisture forming on the inside. Since the truck is still under warranty, the most obvious answer is to take it back to the dealer. That said, I have a low opinion of the service departments available to me, so I’m considering...

My Lexus has a HUD, which is one of the reasons I chose the Limited. After living with the truck for a year, I find the primary display can feel like too much at times; there are too many colors and symbols. Don’t get me wrong, I love tech, like the HUD, and the information it provides. But I...

It's been discussed rather extensively on this forum and others. Best bet is to be willing to purchase out of the SET area.

Yes, I let it expire.

The most common issue I have is that the phone isn’t connected at startup, but going back into the settings usually fixes it. I’ve had the rare occasion where the phone wouldn’t connect at all, and I had to restart the truck to get it working. Otherwise, I’ve had good luck with the system.

When Toyota gets word your starting a lemon law action it can usually spur them into action. You have been patient enough. Talk to an attorney.

I’m one of those Limited guys. I didn’t delete all the chrome, though. I just toned it down. The 3rd gen did it right by using chrome to highlight certain areas instead of the “all chrome, all the time” look. The grille is untouched, and so is the lower valance. I wrapped the door handles in a...

Nice video. You were well prepared to "survive" unlike the classic tourists in the rental car scenario.

I'm one of those guys. Some due to evaporation and age depending on the vehicle. Overall, nothing that was ever concerning.

People need to get out more and touch some grass.
