Decided to do a Blackstone analysis for my first oil change just to see if anything out of the ordinary popped up. Elevated silicon, copper, iron, & aluminum but this is somewhat normal for break-in oil.
I'll probably do another one at 15-20K (3rd change) miles just to see how it's doing, but...
Just got back from a week long trip towing my camper all the way from Chicago to Moab. All in all, loaded with gear including the tongue weight of my 4000lb camper, the truck was sitting just a hair below the GVWR, so this was a really good test of my Limited (non-hybrid) starting from close to...
Off to another project, yet again. I picked up a pair of Heretic 2-LED pod lights and wanted to hook them up as reverse lights. So I had to devise a mounting strategy... My initial thought was to prototype some mounts on my printer and then make them out of metal, but to be honest, using some...
Due to my upcoming roadtrip to Moab next week, I needed to get some storage capabilities on top of the cab. I really wanted a Yakima or Thule fixpoint system but they are not available yet - hence I decided to go with a full rack.
I honestly didn't care much for what I got, as I'll eventually...
For those looking at mounting a skid plate, but missing the additional crossmember, the RCI x-member seems to suit the job just fine. A significantly cheaper alternative than the NYTOP piece.
Overall, I think the construction is fine, especially given the value. One interesting note is they...
Selling my chrome mirror caps off my Limited as I swapped them to gloss black. Good condition, the passenger side has some very light scratches.
These go for around $50 each normally, snag a pair for $40. Shipping anywhere in the US via USPS will be an extra $8, or you can pick them up locally...
Swapped to a black one so selling my chrome lower bumper trim. Good condition, has wear from first few thousand miles. Nice upgrade especially if you have a truck without foglamps and plan to add them, or if you just want to go for the chrome look.
Includes the matching silver parking sensors...
Selling my Limited grill as I went with the Heritage grill. Good condition, does have some wear from the first couple thousand miles.
Includes the camera bracket, but if installing on a truck without a front camera, I can print and include a plug for the hole at no cost.
Pickup preferred but...
Selling a blackout overlay for the Toyota Emblem + 4x4 badge.
The limited kit I bought came with these, but only needed the limited piece.
Shipping via first class mail anywhere in the US.
Hopefully the mods don't get too upset with me starting a few different threads, but I think it's best we compartmentalize some of this information for ease of finding it in the future.
As some others may have seen, I decided to do the Heritage grill swap. Now, for those of us that have a front...
Just wanted to share this detail with ya'll - after replacing my front fog trim on my '24 Limited from chrome to black, I also replaced the parking sensors to color match the trim piece (as the sensors on the chrome trim were silver).
I sadly found out that in doing this, it actually requires...
Figured I'd post my progress on my blackout build for my '24 WCP Limited.
Was between the TRD Sport & Limited when I was buying my truck, but was never a fan of the scoop. So, I needed to figure out how to get rid of the chrome, and quickly :)
After 3 months and approximately 5K miles, love...
Ended up scooping a TRD Pro Grill for a bargain and was working on getting a bracket designed to mount my lightbar.
I think the Rave guys also were working on a bracket for the Heretic to the grill but I was impatient, lol. Few tries with the good ole calipers and she's dialed in.
Seems like a...
Figured with some people swapping their grills for the heritage version, interested to see if anyone is willing to part with their OE TRD Sport or O/R grill insert.
Please message me if you have one and are interested in selling it.
Definitely a pain to get these mounted but finally got all the parts and got around to it.
Initially when I put them on, I was not satisfied with the level of thread engagement on the lugs. Normally this can be solved with ET-style lug nuts, but unfortunately, they don't fit on most JDM wheels...
Does anyone know the correct part numbers for the top mirror cap covers on 4G Tacos equipped with turn signals on the side view mirrors?
There seems to be a bunch of different part numbers coming up as a direct hit on Toyota's part website. My guess is the variance may be for the models with or...
Anyone here running extended wheel studs?
I just received a set of wheels I ordered and am somewhat unsatisfied with the level of thread engagement I have with a set of conical lug nuts. Unfortunately, the wheels won't accept an ET lug nut, so I feel like the only option available is to swap...
Not sure if this can really be classified as an issue - but anyone else here with lane trace assist cruise control notice you need to literally keep an iron grip on the steering wheel for it not to beep at you (basically the truck telling you to keep your hands on the wheel)?
I've driven...
Has anyone here messed around with the Wireless Camera System for the new Tacoma? Specifically models equipped with the digital rearview mirror.
There were some posts on the Tundra forum about this, but I haven't seen anyone mention it on the Taco side yet. Toyota part search shows the...
Hi All,
After a lot of contemplation, settled on a Limited in Wind Chill Pearl. Just picked it up today! I'm not an avid off-roader, and preferred to have something with more creature comforts than a locker I'd solemnly, if ever, use. Not my first Taco - previously owned an '18 TRD OR with a...
