  1. Transmission hard shift

    My ā€˜24 does it on every first shift after backing out of the driveway. My understanding is that’s how Toyota trucks have always been going back to the first gen’s.
  2. North Carolina OEM Transfer Case Skid Plate PT228-35247

    It’s the only one I have for sale. I have a TRD OR that I added the transmission plate on, but ended up with two of them due to shipping issues.
  3. North Carolina Sold: OEM Transfer Case Skid Plate PT228-35247

    OEM Toyota Transfer Case Skid Plate with Hardware, new in box. PT228-35247, fits the hybrid Tacoma and should also work with a hybrid 4Runner or Land Cruiser. These would be what comes stock on a Trailhunter and are designed to work with the Trailhunter/Land Cruiser engine skid but will also...
  4. If you were a Toyota designer... what would you change?

    Fix off road premium packaging. The power tailgate isn’t necessary, leave it for the Limited ā€œgrandpa trimā€. In exchange, give me some combination of the nicer headlights from the Limited, padding on the door cards in place of the hard plastic (like Pro and Trailhunter), or a lower package...
  5. How far did you go to pick up your 4th Gen Tacoma?

    Charlotte to Asheville, so like 200 miles. Used side of a Honda dealer had a 24 OR premium hybrid with only a few thousand miles and was very reasonable on the price. Super easy guys to work with as well.
  6. Icon Top Hat Reinforcement Installation and Torque Spec

    I did mine a few weeks ago, pretty sure I have the same cheap-o Harbor Freight torque wrench but I couldn’t get it to fit over the two rear bolts. Going in from the hood with an extension was pretty easy though.
  7. Prospective 4th gen buyer - New guy questions

    I have a 24 off road premium hybrid and I do 1 - 2 week stints working onsite all over the world. I haven’t had any issue with the battery coming back, either when I leave it at home or at the airport. My understanding is there was a bad batch of low voltage batteries in the first hybrid run...
  8. Apple CarPlay randomly disconnects

    Maybe it’s just mine, but I found that there’s a weird conflict between Apple CarPlay and the Toyota app. Every time I start the car, I hit ā€œignoreā€ on the pop up from Toyota on my phone and it works fine. There’s also a problem connecting to wireless CarPlay if I leave Bluetooth off on my...
  9. Does your Toyota Tri-fold block the rear camera?

    I confirmed on mine, camera is only blocked when the props are in, otherwise it’s not blocked but you can’t really drive around without the props. Slid the rails as far as I could before they contacted the tailgate when it’s closed, still blocked. On another note, is something supposed to keep...
  10. 5w-30

    I love a car care nut video as much as the next guy, but the oil viscosity video is really meant as a basics/intro. Engineering Explained did a good video explaining oil viscosities during the GM 6.2L mess: Great explanation of Stribeck curves (that I vaguely remember from engineering...
  11. 2025 Tacoma TRD into the mountain snow vs. Ford Broncos

    The production quality on your videos is incredible! What’s the offset on those methods? Wondering what I can get away with when it’s time to swap my tires out.
  12. Does your Toyota Tri-fold block the rear camera?

    2024 TRD OR premium hybrid, bought it used. Truck came with the Toyota accessory hard trifold, opening it up all the way blocks the rear view camera feeding the rear view mirror. I assumed that was just the penalty for having a trifold but I saw a post on another forum saying they liked their...
  13. Y'all bother with Faraday Boxes for your keyfobs?

    FYI you can just shut off the smart key if you are worried about it.
  14. Protect Your 2024 Tacoma Tailgate Anti-Theft Bracket

    I have one of these installed with a power tailgate, it works just fine as far as I can tell.
  15. Looking For Blue Crush Metallic Accent Color Ideas

    I bought mine second-hand, but it had all of the trim blacked out except the Toyota logo and red tow hooks. If I get a break from work here one of these days, I’d swap in the bronze letter heritage grill and some bronze wheels for a bit of a Subaru STI look.
  16. Is Toyota's Reputation For Reliability Slipping? This 2025 Toyota Tacoma Is On It's 3rd Transmission

    In the comments on the youtube, someone had a good point: if the original transmission had metal shavings in it and dealer replaced it without flushing/replacing the transmission cooler (radiator) and lines, they're probably still clogged. So the new transmission wasn't getting enough cooling.
