  1. 18" TRD Wheels +45mm & 275/70R18 on TRD Offroad Premium. Anybody?

    Yes, unless you get the Pro flares or an aftermarket set, and that's no guarantee. I still have the Fox lift coming and will likely get a little worse for me, but the truth is, I'll never be that rough on it anyway. I'm also noticing that the Goodyear Wranglers are not holding small rocks, like...
  2. 18" TRD Wheels +45mm & 275/70R18 on TRD Offroad Premium. Anybody?

    I'm traveling this week and not able to get a picture but I would say 1-inch past the fender.
  3. 18" TRD Wheels +45mm & 275/70R18 on TRD Offroad Premium. Anybody?

    This is not your preferred wheels but maybe the stance will give you an idea how it will look. Just a small bit of poke here with the Pro wheels on Goodyear Wranglers.
  4. 5w-30

    Okay, ill leave it at this. Driven 0w20 is ment for your car, regular John Brown. The difference is the additive package. You are paying for protection from research and data collection. When you see a brand, the brand is the additive package. There is only 2 or 3 base oils.
  5. 5w-30

    Goodness? Show us your data to back up your claims. Is this feelings again? I have my data.
  6. 5w-30

    There is a lot of folks here relying on feelings and I think decisions. I was in your camp not long ago. 0w-20 is better than you think especially sheering and oxidation value. The key is to switch to a brand that has the best additive package, such as Driven 0W-20. There is too much here to...
  7. TRD Sport on road ride harshness options

    This guy is looking for legitimate advise not smart-ass comments. This forum is ment for intelligent people LEARNING from one another. Keep that crap off the air.
  8. 2024 Tacoma maintenance question: "top engine cleaning" ?

    Agreed. Top Tier fuel all the time will keep things clean. Exxon, Shell, and Chevron. Look for the Top Tier sticker on the pump. Get the Top Tier app and learn where to get your fuel. It makes a difference in the long run.
  9. Oil/Fuel Dilution Concerns...

    Why can't you sample test your oil? Speed uses FedEx. Is international samples not allowed?
  10. Oil/Fuel Dilution Concerns...

    You have done a lot of good work here to document the issue. Let's be clear, the only way fuel is getting in the oil crankcase is by the piston rings. This engine is not sealed up. Go to Speed Diagnostics and order a oil analysis kit and start your scientific data collection to prove the issue...
  11. HELP! EXHAUST/BURNING SMELL

    If you think you are burning oil don't mess around with random advise. To know for sure, have your used oil analysis done. Go search the Motor Oil Geek on YouTube and use his company. Speed Diagnostics. Educate yourself if you're not familiar already. State your concerns on the lab form and they...
  12. camber in suspension

    I am planning to do the same upgrade. Why can't alignment tech pull out camber? I seen a thread on here where there is 3 options of alignment to load in the alignment machine to match your setup. See if you can search this, it may help you. If so please let us know what you had to do to...
  13. 3 oil changes in first 10,000 miles. Oil Analysis lab results attached.

    Data drives all my decisions and not tribal knowledge or what someone says to do. Not to be ugly but 65k truck will be in my inventory for 300K miles or more. There is a reason why it's $20 .
  14. 3 oil changes in first 10,000 miles. Oil Analysis lab results attached.

    The oil to use is Driven DI20 do you're research. Two things, sheer stability (is the oil still in grade) wear rate additive package.
  15. 3 oil changes in first 10,000 miles. Oil Analysis lab results attached.

    Outstanding and intelligent. Many guys on here say they have had many vehicles and logged thousands of miles with no issues. I don't hear any saying how much oil is consumed between changes though. Excellent job here. This is the difference between an engine sealed "rings" and one that's not.
  16. How to break in a new Tacoma? Other tips welcomed :)

    Your filter will NOT filter out all the metal in the engine. Total metal count, oxidation value, and partical size etc are done through oil analysis. Until you do this and learn, you'll only learn through tribal knowledge.
  17. How to break in a new Tacoma? Other tips welcomed :)

    Show us the data. Listen carefully. If you do not break in the engine properly, it doesn't mean it will blow up or perform bad. It means the engine piston rings will seal good which means you have a truck that's going to burn oil. How much determines on how bad the seal is. If you don't mind...
  18. How to break in a new Tacoma? Other tips welcomed :)

    Yeah, you should do exactly like the manual and this cat. Wow? 10,000 mile oil changes with all that metal floating around? Criminal and I have the data to prove it if you want to contact me off line. I'll show you how to get you oil analysis done and let the data determine when the engine is...
  19. How to break in a new Tacoma? Other tips welcomed :)

    Strongly disagree with taking it easy on the new engine. No towing for sure, however, you must seat the piston rings and you have only one shot at doing it correctly. The rings must be push out to the cylinder walls. This can only happen under load such as a dyno simulation. Cylinder pressure...
