It has a very solid "ceiling" to the projector light where it goes straight black. 3 or 4 is a tad bit too low. Theyre just an ultra concentrated beam.
No. As i mentioned, its a solid tube. The instructions will tell you how to do it.
As noted in the beginning of the thread, toyota US doesnt sell it. Not sure if they changed their mind since last year, but i ordered it from a canadian dealership to the US. I dont remember which one. It was a...
Both gens do heat the coolant. The casting tube it slides into protrudes into the coolant passage. Picture a metal "finger" cast into the coolant passage, of which you slide the heater like a finger into a glove.
I did not route it like the instructions. The instructions cut into the bumper. I...
Anyone else getting obsessively flashed by oncoming vehicles because they think you have your highbeams on due to the ultra bright projector headlights?
I've lowered the lights a few notches to try to mitigate it, but 1 out of 5 cars still highbeam me upon passing eachother. Winters are dark...
Yep. Ive been doing random of tests with the new tires and anyone i know whos in the car with gps's of any kind, be it phone or garmin etc. the speeds are spot on with the TRD size tires compared to every unit. I feel like i lost a good portion of my warranty mileage with the sr5 tires. Which...
Thats the plan eventually. Unfortunately theres only one dealer in interior Alaska, and they are retards. Im hesitant to bring it to them for the brake hose warranty, as theyve screwed up simple repairs before.
Many times on new vehicles, similar issues will pop up on multiple vehicles. Im...
2024 SR5. 25,000 miles.
The last few days the steering wheel has developed an internal creaking or squeaking when going from a slow left turn, back to center. Only does it when its cold for the first few turns, then disappears. Sounds like its coming from the steering wheel itself, where it...
Ive been blown away at this trucks towing, with its ultra low power peaking at something like 1700 rpms, if i remember.
I've towed a couple thousand pound loads up hills without the transmission downshifting, while holding 1/4 or so throttle.
My third gen tacoma would have to downshift, with...
It looks like he's referring to one drain and fill per single fluid change, as opposed to three in a row at the same time. Some people will drain and flush three times in a row in one sitting, to get the fluid a light color. Not one fluid change per lifetime.
There could be nominal differences in those tires outside of that calculator. Maybe take into account the tread wear on the original tires verse a new tires could be slightly bigger from minor variations from manufacturers. Maybe that can make the spread larger outside of the calculator. Also...
When i did my distance check using gps, 13 actual miles on the gps ended up registering just about 15 miles on my odometer. That would make it roughly 3000 miles off of the 20,000 miles. After the tire change, it was almost spot on by +\- a tenth of a mile. Lol thats quite a bit if thats correct.
Thats precisely what i think is going on. They calibrated for all the TRD models, for manufacturing simplicity. If so, then they should be on the hook for warranty miles, since this is from the factory.
They cant control what someone does with tire size after they purchase the truck, but from...
I realized the stock 245's on the SR5 were reading faster speeds than every GPS I've compared it to, as well as my dash cam. All three gps's I compared were spot on. I also did multiple distance tests with with the gps's, and the truck always registered more miles than traveled.
I've since...
This concept pops up often on reddits and forums, and the "lifetimes" were, from what i understand, tied to the warranty periods and life expectancy of when most people trade cars (100,000-150,000). And i believe it was for non-truck vehicles, camrys, etc.
The manuals for all Toyotas have and...

To get the proper level, you must also set the transmission thermostat and put the system in fluid temp mode to get the temp window correct. Heres a link from the OEM service manual to fine tune your...
Its got to be a typo. Even If it was driven the first day they shipped around dec 2023-jan 2024, they would have to had put on 350-500 miles every day, non stop for the 1-1.5 years they've been out.
Mine is not part of the tsb. Ive got 20,000 miles so far, and mine randomly has rough reverses that have seemed to diminish. Other 4th gens i know have the same.
I also have hard 2-3 shifts when cold. Ive learned to cushion my shifts when its cold, by letting off the throttle slightly until it...
Mine does that randomly as well. I believe Its something fuel/air algorithm related to a specific ambient situation ive never cared to pinpoint.
ive had every gen tacoma, and they all made odd random engine noises and all lasted well over 300,000 miles with zero issues. I think this noise is...
