  1. Trailhunter with 35s Rubbing (Need Help)

    Yes, we are saying the same thing. Or at least we are attempting to say the same thing. 😆
  2. Passerby Highbeam flashing

    I get it when I'm going over a crest on mountain roads. Sorry other driver, your lights are bright too!
  3. Trailhunter with 35s Rubbing (Need Help)

    35mm offset is great..... On regular model Tacos, with tires less than ~33" OD and less than ~285mm wide. (My non-scientific approximation) ["Regular models" = non TRDPRO or Trailhunter] Trailhunter OEM wheels are 18x8.5 +20mm offset. That's what provides the extra track width. Going narrower...
  4. Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT - 275/70r18 - 2024 TRD Sport

    That's a newer tire, and I'd guess that 90% of the owners have them as the OEM tires on their 6th Gen Bronco. They don't have a great reputation but that might be caused by OEM tire owner biases. Cons: It's a budget tire. It's not 3PMS. It's a lower end Goodyear so it has the typical weak...
  5. Crooked Passenger Side Tow Hook on 2025 Tacoma

    My truck has the same thing on one of the tow hook mounts. The threaded plate was welded onto the core support a little crooked. Some square bevel washers would correct it, with equivalent thickness flat washers on the opposite hook to space that one out the same amount. I might do that for mine.
  6. Sneak Peek: A-Pillar Grab Handles for 4th Gen Tacoma (by Carlimeki) – What Do You Want to See?

    @carlimeki have you made any changes to the plastic color, to better match the OEM piece? And has your product been tested for airbag deployment? As seen in another users pics, the color does not match their OEM a-pillar cover:
  7. Driver's side grab handle available

    Gotcha, that's good to hear. The color is annoying but that can be improved in future production runs pretty easily.
  8. Rattle/Grind on cold start

    I think you can reach up from underneath, and you can also see some it from the engine bay. It might also be an issue where the rattle doesn't exist when cold, but does once the exhaust warms up and parts expand from heat. Which will suck to poke around with your hand because the downpipe and...
  9. Driver's side grab handle available

    This thread should get merged with the other Grab Handle thread that the vendor posted. I highly doubt this has even been tested with the airbag that it covers. I read that the plastic is completely different on these new aftermarket pillar covers... less flexible than the OEM part. That's a...
  10. Rattle/Grind on cold start

    I'm 98.6% sure that's a heat shield rattle. Check the downpipe/cat off the bottom of the turbo.
  11. Toyota Dealer - No clue on alignment

    Huh, I guess I'm wrong. Maybe I was thinking of trucks more than cars... It's been a long time since I've done anything on non-4wd vehicles. I've also ran zero toe on my modded trucks and cars in the past. But in recent years I've stuck with very slight toe-in. More like 1/8" toe-in per side at...
  12. Toyota Dealer - No clue on alignment

    EDIT: Apparently my brain went to trucks, and some cars are zero toe. Most shops hadn't updated their alignment computers for the new specs for the 4th Gen. And most chain alignment shops flat out suck... I can do better in my shop by hand. But the numbers have always been available in the...
  13. Replacing with 12k miles on the dealer stock Falken tires? Really?!?

    OEM tires being different and "worse" than aftermarket tires is nothing new... It's been happening for many years. And they aren't "cheaper" at all, they are very specifically engineered for NVH and MPG optimization. And that comes at the expense of lifespan. The aftermarket Falken tires I've...
  14. Freedom Locker for 4th Gen Tacoma released

    That won't work with a Toyota E-locker. It will quickly kill the splines in the differential - it's meant to be locked/unlocked only from a complete stop, then creep forward at idle until the lock collar engages/disengages. It's not at all like a ARB, that you can engage/disengage at any speed...
  15. Buzzing in the cab

    Interesting... That's more of a buzzing noise than a rattle IMO. The difference being that a rattle is just something loose bouncing around due to the truck moving. But a buzzing like that is something caused by vibration at a certain frequency. Does your truck have anything aftermarket added...
  16. Greenlane top hat spacer leveling kit

    Negative. You would need this product to be a 3/8" lift spacer AND a strut bushing reinforcement: (I have a set sitting in my shop that I'll probably install this coming week)...
  17. Greenlane top hat spacer leveling kit

    It's a 3/8" thick aluminum plate. As long as the holes are in the right spots, it'll work. And in my opinion: 3/8" is the perfect thickness for a top spacer on these trucks. That's the maximum amount that still allows for full thread engagement of the stud nuts, and keeps a very small amount of...
  18. Freedom Locker for 4th Gen Tacoma released

    If someone has honestly never said to themself "damn, I wish I could engage my locker", this product probably isn't worth the hassle. And personally, I may not even do it. I'll absolutely wait to see how the product does after some time on the market. It's sending spoofed signals to the truck's...
  19. Freedom Locker for 4th Gen Tacoma released

    Oh boy..... It's time for some 2wd donuts.
  20. Red footwell lights?

    Ah ha, thanks. So my TRD Off-road 4dr Taco with premium package would only have two door lights, freeing up the other two for footwell lights. I'm digging this idea.
