Shorter height also results in a shorter throw distance. It also slightly increases the lever force.
From the end of the lever to the middle of the big pivot ball was 13". My shortened lever is now 11.875".
My goal was to shorten the shift lever 1.5" but ended up 1.125" after I got into it.
I started with a spare shift lever and started doing some Dremel work. There are several rubber isolators that connect the transmission end of the lever to the knob end of the level. I ended up cutting and...
The registration sticker is where I put it last year, so a bit of luck that it wasn't up higher. For the HUD, all I've done is install the HUD. I didn't add the reflective window sticker.
I installed one of these and I mostly like it. So far I haven't had the need to add the reflective sheet. I haven't been able to figure out how to get the tire pressure image off the display though. I'd prefer to be able to just display my speed. It also seems that when I shutdown and leave...
For me it was a toss up between the Sport and OR. I could get the 6MT with either. I didn't want the OR tires or need the sway bar disconnect so I went with the Sport. The OR was what I briefly test drove before my 6MT came in. I didn't realize there was a difference in ride. As the driver...
The extra weight didn't make enough of a difference. I think I'm on to getting a suspension upgrade.
Maybe. The annoying part is this isn't like trying on shoes. I want to avoid doing multiple swaps.
I have adjusted the tire pressure and put (3) 40 lb bags of topsoil in the back of the bed. It did have some improvement of the ride harshness. I think though that I need to go the path of better suspension.
I looked at where it would be on my drive this morning. I think I would like it vs looking down at the dash. I'm also curious about connectivity on other vehicles too, while understanding that the speaker grill mounting is specific to the Toyotas.
I gladly would have traded the sun roof...
That seems like it's worth trying out, although I don't love the added reflector to the windshield or the need to keep it plugged into my OBD2 port. But with your discount code it's too tempting not to try. I've had HUD envy for a long time.
I had a rental Wagoneer last year on a vacation. I wouldn't wish that POS on anyone I liked. Front seats horribly uncomfortable and lots of wasted space.
If it was mine and I wasn't positive if there was still load on the bolt, I'd consider spraying some silicone lube around the bolt edges from both ends to reduce friction. Then I would turn the bolt in the loosening direction with a ratchet to see if the bolt threads would grab and walk the...
