It should. Definitely use some isopropyl alcohol wipes to smooth out the RTV and clean up the extras around the gap. Post some pics when you’re done.
I used black RTV (permatex ultra black).
Lights work great. The only problem is the passenger-side is more warped then the driver side so it’s lifted higher. Try to find some PSA (double sided tape) to help it stick to the bed rail by the cabin. You’ll see where the stock PSA is.
I have the AT3W'S on my 4runner and recommend them. I have no experience with the 4's but have seen on yt reviews that the AT4W's have regressed in winter (wet/snow) performance however. Lastly, the falkens are heavy and the AT4W's are even heavier than the 3's, so this will affect MPG's. My...
My process:
1. Cut out the bulk material with a Dremel and die grinder bit;
2. Then I used a fine file to remove remaining material and try to straighten out and smooth the cuts.
3. Used a lighter to heat the material to smooth it out; applied the flame and then just used my finger to get any...
Based on this image it doesn't look like there is any sealing involved, from the factory or this installation. I ordered these so I'll know more once I attempt the install when they arrive.
I'd want to throw a matte black vinyl on there for the reflection on the windshield. However, I also would be concerned about it over-heating. Unsure what your use case is however.
I would put the recovery hooks between the skid and frame and use a set of 2x spacers on each side to mount the skid. So, frame > tow hooks > spacer > skid plate > bolt.
I don't know what the spacer height would be or if the length of current bolt would be sufficient. Just brainstorming here.
I also had warped rotors at 20k that wobbled when decelerating at highway speeds and Toyota resurfaced them and the vibration went away. I also changed the pads while they were in there because I do a lot of mountain driving and they were low.
If I didn’t explicitly need a truck bed then I’d lean towards a 4Runner. Day to day I don’t need the full (long) bed capability, but there are often enough times that it warranted a truck over a SUV. For reference, prior to my Tacoma, I had a 3rd gen 4Runner with 330k+ miles. That said, I love...
You're looking at around 10hp increase with any of the intakes and negligible torque. I will speak for myself when I say the main reason I purchased an intake was for increased induction sound. If you get a tune + an intake (which I have) that's when you'll see more of the benefits of the intake...
Note: I have not had this issue since I started parking on the level street post fill-up.
This is simultaneously good that I figured out the root cause & bad that something as simple as parking in the driveway can affect the truck in this way.
Toyota stock ratings (Non-hybrid; auto; non-SR): 278 hp / 317 lb-ft
