I asked NYTOP (https://www.tacoma4g.com/forum/threads/not-your-typical-rock-sliders-by-nytop.4849/) and they said 70# per side. I also recall seeing 160#/set for one of the other makes on their web site. There is also one outfit selling aluminum ones at 31# per side.
Sorry about the vagueness...
A friend of mine has a buddy at a Toyota dealer who told him they are having a lot of trouble with that color (has had multiple trucks needing areas repainted). I think he mentioned the roof as a problem area.
My phone doesn't support wireless charging, but that spot is perfect for holding it while it is charging on a cord. So, I set out to disable the charger. Took pictures in case it will help someone else.
Another post somewhere said the fuse was under the glovebox. Manual shows where and how to...
Just back from short trip.
197.4 mi using 7.49 gal for 26.3 mpg. Computer had 27.2
Country highway in mountains. Speed 45-65 (mostly 55). Elevations ranging from 6500-~8000
Cruise control on at speed limits for most of the trip.
I'm sure it's going to suck once I get on the freeway and even...
Still breaking mine in (<500 mi)
Just did about 100 miles round trip. Country highway at 6300-7000 ft elevation, no really steep grades but plenty of up and down, mostly 55-65MPH, and about 20 miles on gravel road at ~20MPH.
Computer says 25.3 mpg (reset at start of trip).
I think speed is...
No, but apparently some dealers don't care when you get your 2 free oil changes.
I'm planning to have the dealer do the first one at 5000. If I have to pay for it, I will. Will probably do one myself at 15k.
Looks like a screw for a metal or fiberglass roofing panel except it's got sheet-metal threads. Check any place where flexible materials are screwed to the body (wheel well liner, mud flaps, etc). I don't see any screws with the rubber cushion, but I haven't crawled under mine yet.
I think thermal cycling would be getting the engine fully warmed up, then shutting down until it cools. I doubt that running the heat cools the engine significantly.
As WKTJR1 said, don't lose any sleep over it. Nothing's going to fall apart. Lots of people do the same thing (most people, and pretty much ALL salespeople have no clue about things like this anymore). I don't think it's nearly the issue it was back in dinosaur days when some of us were...
From what I'm seeing here and at Tacoma world you might want to spend the first three or four hours doing short 10-20 mile runs at varying speeds, then taking a break to allow cooling down. Some comments claimed that the first hundred miles could make the difference between living with a...
