The difference is that the Kuat clamps are pulling the lower horizontal rack bar down onto the top of the bed rails, which prevents it from flexing side to side on top of the rails. This connection will be much more rigid than the rack just sitting on the bed rails with no clamping force. In...

They can support more than the Working Load Limit before failure, but I've never encountered a jack that can lift more than the rated value before becoming unusable or bypassing the relief valve. Most harbor freight jacks bypass well below their advertised capacity. The 1.5 ton will probably be...

1.5 tons (Standard tons AKA short tons AKA American tons, not metric tons) is 3000lb. Nothing in America uses metric tons as a measurement. The truck isn't 50/50 such distribution - the front axle has been scaled by a few people to weigh close to 3000lb, or over that weight with some...

Have you tested the 1.5ton to lift the entire front end of the truck? Or even under the frame near the front body mount? I don't think a 1.5ton jack will be enough. These Tacos are right around 3000lb on the front axle (and more if you have any aftermarket stuff added). If you try to lift the...

Glad to help! Between partsouq and amayama, finding part numbers isn't too hard. I have both bookmarked for my truck.

Looks like it's probably 86466-04020...

Glad it's better. Definitely turn the ignition completely off when you refuel. In addition to the fuel gauge and mileage calculations resetting, the EVAP system can also get really angry if the truck is powered on and the gas cap is removed.

It's your rack flexing side to side, because it's a lightweight inexpensive rack that's mounted to the truck in a not very secure way. I'd personally find a better rack. One that actually mounts directly to the truck, not to the tie-down rails (which aren't designed to take the weight of an RTT...

Those are rivets. https://www.tacoma4g.com/forum/attachments/pt392-35240-install-pdf.32006/ Don't drill the middle, drill the head with a bit that is a bit larger than the hole (maybe 1/8" larger). The goal is to detach the head from the rest of the rivet.

Tacomas don't have or need this, since the wiper arms can be folded up from the parked position. This function is only found on cars where the wipers tuck under the cowl in the parked position, which prevents the arms from being folded up to change the blades.

Sucky about the tire, but glad the truck performed well!

Others are touching on the same question - what is this clip? I don't think it's part of the tailgate mechanism. Can you post a pic from inside the bed, with the tailgate closed?

Toyota IFS has had a 1:1.5 motion ratio since the 1st Gen Taco/3rd Gen 4runner (based on my measurements at least, over all the versions). So 1" of preload or spacer on the front coilover nets 1.5" of lift.

If you're on a dry road, and in 4wd, and you're in a long sweeper corner where you are turning 90°+ over a long distance (like most corners on every mountain pass), it'll still bind up the drivetrain just the same as if you cranked the steering to full lock and turned 90°+.

If you can't see any clear pavement on the road, 4wd will be fine. If you can see small patches of pavement through the snow, 4wd will still be fine. If the whole truck is on pavement with no snow or ice, 4wd will bind up the drivetrain. Even on wet pavement, though the unbind skid/scuff will...

I have that same divider, but have an issue with everything on the upper shelves sliding off. I need to add a lip to the shelves to prevent that. I'll probably stick on a thin line of plastic with some double stick tape. My 2007 GX470 had a glovebox light. Certain 4th and 5th Gen 4Runners had...

Thanks. I've been holding out for both of our Toyotas, but I think I'll take the plunge to prevent gauge cluster scratches.

How was the wet install? That scares me, especially for the gauge cluster. Having liquid drip down into the dash is a recipe for bad times.

Oh, and between the two tires, assuming that Toyos actually work well in Florida, your debate will be how heavy duty you want or need them to be. If you'll be going offroad at all, especially somewhere with anything sharp or stabby (rocks, sticks, etc), some extra protection is worth the...

I live in Western WA State, where the roads range from damp to soaked with standing water for 60% of the year, and slushy/snowy for probably 10% of the year. I've ran both SL and LT Falken ATs. I've never had a wet traction issue. If someone were having such an issue, my first question would...
