I made a whole walk-through video of sealing those rear cabin pressure release vents I mentioned above that the mice got in through in my truck! If you camp or park in trailheads overnight, it's worth doing this before they get in!

That's literally what I did! I tried removing the windshield wipers as per some ppl here, but I couldn't, so I decided "well if they're accessing from the top, I can just put 1/4" hardware cloth on top of the filter". I can't say whether it does or doesn't "work", but in theory I think it'd...

Yep I just finished putting that on this morning! 1/4" hardware cloth, secured with zip ties that weave underneath the exterior clips to keep it secure!

It was the exhaust vents in the rear of the cab (behind the rear seats and behind the plastic behind that). I’ll make a video soon, but here’s some photos in the meantime… everyone has to patch these! The vent flaps are SOFT RUBBER, they don’t even have to chew through them, they can just push...

Did anyone have a mouse get into their truck that did NOT get through the cabin air filter? We had a mouse eat the bread in the cab of our 2024 Tacoma, but our cabin air filter in the glove box is perfectly intact... I don't think we left the doors open long enough for one to happen to just...

Yep I’m stock shocks with Dobinsons 819V in rear and Alldogs in front with 930 constant extra load, it’s quite good. When doing tough rock crawling, there’s a little extra side to side sway, but otherwise it’s about perfect! When the shocks get older I’ll switch them, I’m just at 20k miles so...

Good question, yeah mine is standard non-hybrid. I don't know anything about the hybrid fluid amount or crush washers. I went to the Toyota dealer to buy the crush washers, you can ask them which ones. It was $12 for all four washers, so kinda expensive, but now I know the part numbers (I...

Quick Reference This is applicable to non-hybrids. Unknown whether hybrids use same washers/etc. Schedule 15,000 miles or 18 months if "driving while towing, using a car-top carrier, or heavy vehicle loading" Otherwise, says to just inspect every 15,000 / 18 months Front Differential...

tacorancher, have you been driving on dusty roads? Mine seemed to be related to doing 200 miles of dusty Moab red dust roads… The silicon spray lubricant has seemed to work, here’s an update… - 60 miles later, opened fine - 100 more miles later, opened fine - Next morning, opened fine again...

I just put on the silicone spray lubricant and drove 60 more miles and the tailgate opened! My tailgate wasn’t opening 75% of the time lately this weekend, so it seems like it might have helped! I’ll try opening it again over the next few days and report back. To apply, I opened the tailgate...

My rear springs are Dobinsons C59-819V Coil Springs. With the stock springs and the Tune M1 (500 lbs on CAT scale) plus ~250 lbs of my camper build, I was at ~850 lbs of constant load. That caused the truck to sit 2" below stock in the rear. With my stock 5’ TRD Off Road Premium (no hybrid)...

Yeah turning off the power tailgate doesn’t help me either, since it’s just the initial unlatch part (which is always power-based unfortunately). I’ve also got bed stiffeners but those don’t even contact anything (at least with my brand). I’m gonna pick up the silicone lubricant tomorrow...

My power tailgate has sometimes been failing to open… it’ll try to open (moves a centimeter), then fails and moves back and makes another sound and then gives up. I have to help force it open to get it to open. It happens about 25% of the time. I’ve had the truck for a year and 23,000 miles...

I think most ppl in the thread about Dobinsons rear springs also kept stock shocks! There’s some Dobinsons thread on here.

I’ve stuck with the stock TRD shocks (no changes from my original post). I have 21,000 miles on the truck now, and just got back from off roading in Moab, including going to the Maze District and also Island in the Sky. The suspension is like 90% perfect for street driving, and 75% perfect for...

Mine just died after 9 months and 9k miles. Really pitiful! They take a less common CR2450 battery too, which I couldn't find in the grocery stores I checked while travelling. The owners manual says the standard battery life is "1 to 2 years", it claims a low battery warning will appear on the...

That looks really nice built into your truck topper! Here's a GIF of the camera overheating issue, gonna contact GG Offroad today, but posting it here if others see the same issue. Here's how mine looks on the outside (using the stock external mount they provided, bolted onto the t-track, I...

Finally got to do some light off roading with our 2024 Tacoma TRD Off Road and Tune M1! The upgraded Alldogs Offroad front springs and Dobinsons 819V rear springs handled the additional ~1,000 lbs of the Tune, kitchen build out, and gear! If I’d change anything, it’d be slightly stiffer rear...

Anyone having overheating issues with their redirected external rear view mirror camera? Mine is mounted on the back of my Tune, and when it’s sunny and hot (70+ degrees F), the mirror will flash black for a half second every few minutes. When it’s cooler out, zero issues (like all this winter...

The Dobinsons front springs (C59-820) claim a 2” lift while the Alldogs claim only 1.5”. The only 1.5” lift I could find was the Alldogs. I wanted exactly 1.5” since that would bring me right back to the stock rake (both rear and front ended up 1” above stock, the Dobinson would probably make...
