This is why I’m apprehensive of the “a-hole dealer is screwing me refusing to warranty my engine because I had aftermarket lights” stories. Doesn’t matter how unrelated two things look, a bad enough install job or cheap enough Amazon “accessory” can set off a cascade failure.

Yeah that’s what I’m getting from the responses, I was hoping somebody had used theirs as a jump point for another car and had some OE to share (both for this and if someone needs to jump another car from a Taco hybrid in an emergency in the future). I ended up ordering a $30 charger off Amazon...

My late mother’s old Subaru has been sitting in my driveway for six months, brand new battery but I forgot to disconnect it from the car so it fully drained. Too dead for my little jump box, it’ll need a jump from a running car. Can the positive terminal in the hybrid fuse box be jumped from...

My ‘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.

It is available.

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.

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...

Fix off road premium packaging. The power tailgate isn’t necessary, leave it for the Limited “grandpa trim”. 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...

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.

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.

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...

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 “ignore” 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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

FYI you can just shut off the smart key if you are worried about it.

I have one of these installed with a power tailgate, it works just fine as far as I can tell.

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.

I’m very tempted to use this as an excuse to buy a printer.
