    14" inch screen rattle

    Have the exact same issue. Was thinking about wedging a piece of harness taped wrapped on itself in-between the touchscreen and the dash.

    First trip towing with 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-Road iForce Max Hybrid

    Ditto on the gas tank size. I was averaging around 12.5mpg fully loaded with a heavier trailer.. Ended up being around 3 hours of endurance going about ~65mph. 22-23 gallons would have been perfect, as I prefer to go about 4 hours in-between stops. I'm fairly certain LRA is working on a 4G aux...

    Heretic 20" LED Light Bar install on TRD Pro Grill

    Pretty sure they're standard coarse-threaded M5 screws. I definitely remember it being a bit tight. On a brand new grill those are fresh holes so the threads are gonna cut in a bit.

    First Blackstone Engine Oil Analysis - Seems Normal (2024 Tacoma 2.4L I-4 Turbo T24A-FTS)

    Probably for the first service, not the first oil change. "ToyotaCare" as they like to call it, comes with 4 free services. First service comprises of a tire rotation and inspection. Second service is a rotation, oil change, and inspection. Third is same as the first. Fourth is same as the...

    First Blackstone Engine Oil Analysis - Seems Normal (2024 Tacoma 2.4L I-4 Turbo T24A-FTS)

    Fairly certain there's no special formula break-in oil. I could be wrong, but I think it's just the standard OE formulation. There's some valid arguments to doing your first few changes early. And some people do their changes every 5K. I'm probably beating on a really dead horse right now, as...

    Diamondback Switchback on Hybrid / TH

    Just curious as to why you're considering the switchback? Just feel like if you're gonna spend all that money, might as well get the SE. Plus you could throw bars on it for even more storage capabilities. Sorry if this doesn't answer your question, just don't really understand the model...

    Floor Jack Advice/Recommendations

    The Daytona jacks are 40% off today! I Think there's a 3ton long reach version that gets up to 24" or so... comes out to like $165 with the discount.

    First Blackstone Engine Oil Analysis - Seems Normal (2024 Tacoma 2.4L I-4 Turbo T24A-FTS)

    Hence I was saying, I would really only recommend them if you have a skid. But I think the nipple-less version is pretty safe even without a skid - the drain hole is at an angle and you'd bottom out on the pan before hitting the valve, at least on our trucks. Even with the long-nipple version...

    Floor Jack Advice/Recommendations

    I have a 2-ton Arcan that just barely gets high enough to get the wheels off the ground, when jacking from the frame. It's a low profile model that I use for my other car, was one of the few jacks that would get underneath it as it sits pretty low to the ground. I did have to buy larger jack...

    OEM Exhaust tip installed

    Black one does look nice for sure. My chrome one is now pleasantly more oval shaped, thanks to Moab. Hah.

    Anderson Plug connection to Overland Trailer from Hybrid TH?

    I'd think you'd be OK up to 50A wiring directly into the battery. On the hybrid, as you probably know, there's no alternator. There's a step down converter that converts the 288V from the traction battery into 12V for the LA battery (or rather, 13.8ish volts when charging). If your question...

    Anderson Plug connection to Overland Trailer from Hybrid TH?

    If you do it, you'll still want a DC-DC converter installed in the trailer to provide stable charging voltage to the batteries. Something like the newer Orion XS. Are you planning on running LiFePO4 batteries in the trailer?

    First Blackstone Engine Oil Analysis - Seems Normal (2024 Tacoma 2.4L I-4 Turbo T24A-FTS)

    Honestly I find DIY'ing oil changes a matter of convenience moreso than a cost saving measure. A set of ramps makes it even easier, but they're not even necessary for our trucks, just makes taking the skid off a tad more comfortable. I can also personally ensure that the filter is not...

    First Blackstone Engine Oil Analysis - Seems Normal (2024 Tacoma 2.4L I-4 Turbo T24A-FTS)

    Higher standard is a bit of a misnomer... same standards, different additive composition. The Japanese OEs all have a high moly content in their OE formulations as they believe it will ever-so-slightly decrease fuel consumption. I don't believe there are any off-the-shelf oils that have this...

    First Blackstone Engine Oil Analysis - Seems Normal (2024 Tacoma 2.4L I-4 Turbo T24A-FTS)

    I've always been a big Mobil 1 fan. Conveniently, the Costco packs come with 6 quarts and were on sale for like $28 at my local warehouse. So I bought a few packs for future changes.

    First Blackstone Engine Oil Analysis - Seems Normal (2024 Tacoma 2.4L I-4 Turbo T24A-FTS)

    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...

    Overland Tailor Tuning (OTT) - 4G (2024+) Tacoma Development

    Nice numbers for 91. Maybe once the warranty is up, I'll take the plunge. Is this done via ECU flash or piggyback?
