I guess I shouldn’t be surprised if they are made in another company’s facility. I did find a reference to Monroe’s factory. It’s weird how deep these rabbit holes can go with who-makes-what.
ARB out of Australia makes Old Man Emu, which is also why the Tacoma has a bunch of ARB accessories. ARB just announced at SEMA the upcoming release of a bunch of new parts for the 4G taco. They have also said that the rear bumper is only available from Toyota though. However, I believe the...
Yeah, the OR has Bilsteins which makes me wonder even more why there isn’t a full line of models available. Clearly they’ve spent time with Toyota developing an OEM part and getting all the geometry stuff figured out.
Last I heard anything about Bilstein’s development was a post in April. Has anyone heard when they are going to release their 4G taco lineup? I was thinking SEMA would have news but I can’t find anything.
I can't find it at the moment, but at one point I did find some online part catalogues that showed the rear differential part numbers. From what I recall, to get the locking rear diff you had to have the correct axle housing to mount the actuator and then you also had to have the correct...
When I watched this video, I kept thinking "what about water ingress?". On my last truck, a Land Rover Disco, I was a puddle junkie and it wasn't uncommon for me to get water washing over my hood with "spirited driving" even in rather shallow water like a 6" puddle (wide tires like to push...
As of an hour ago, I have heard a total of 2 incidents where the even gears won’t engage. The most recent In a rather dramatic post on Reddit earlier today.
Here's a very specific question:
Does the trail edition stick out enough that my short family can use it as a step, but tucked in enough that my pants wont get smeared in mud when I, a tall person, gets out? I like the low profile and off road protection, but I do need some family friendly...
Hi. Sorry for not getting back. They said they've had no bulletins or notices come to them regarding the gear selection issues. I have to believe them because I have no other info to go on. I'd like to think they are being honest with me.
I've had my truck for nearly two months now with about...
You can get quite a few high heat paints in gloss (like engine or brake calliper enamels). It would have the heat tolerances necessary for the rear exhaust. The back half of exhaust pipes get hot, but not “exhaust manifold” hot. Check out the VHT and Duplicolor websites to find something you...
I saw a review on YouTube where a guy had an old version of (I think) a CBI skid that was solid in the front. It was on a 3rd gen and he had a bunch of engine/trans heat issues. He ended up cutting holes in it to improve air flow and the problems went away. I guess those holes are necessary, but...
Thank you. I found it a little late and unfortunately missed capturing that particular event. I emailed Toyota support and they said a history beyond the 10 trips displayed wasn’t retrievable.
I knew vaguely of the Drive Pulse in the App, but I just realized I could use it as evidence to either prove or calm my suspicions.
I think a shop went on a joyride in my truck as I swear the odometer jumped about 50kms. But that was several weeks ago and the Drive Pulse history is only the...
Have you had RC neoprene covers in the past? I’ve heard mixed reviews on neoprene in general. Just wondering if you or anyone else finds them hot or how they wear.
Thx
Had to get 1 cubic yard of garden soil. Decided (perhaps foolishly) to do it in one trip (like a man! Goddam it!).
It was about 10km on the back roads from the landscape yard to my house. The truck did it. The suspension hit the bumpers only a few times on a street with a slight undulation. As...
The connector is a beefy set of wires, which would also power the onboard air compressor (if you have a trailhunter, or bought the compressor afterwards). The instructions for installing the power port says the vehicle must be running for the power to be supplied. If this is true, I'm sure there...
It might be available from dealerships now. $370 dealer cost. $525 MSRP (not installed). I'm willing to guess that it ties into the wire connector for the interior bed lights.
I got the Dominator boards. I put one on and took it off immediately. Like Tim mentioned, they dont fit well and stick outside of the tires. Further to this, they arent sealed on the ends, so you're going to get water and mud in the pipes and it will rot from the inside out. Terrible, terrible...
