    Extended Rear Axle Breather Vent

    I will add this to my list of good things to do. I used that fitting to extend the breathers on my Gen1 4Runner. The barb fitting is a Toyota part. I harvested mine from 22re engines. It's the barb fitting off the plenum to the brake booster (IIRC), 90404-51319, ~$13. Fortunately, I have a...

    To prefill or not to prefill oil filter?

    I prefill when I can (filter orientation). There are no cons to prefilling.

    RECALL for Brake Hose Issue: 2024 Tacoma 4WD 4-wheel drive models w/ 16-inch brakes and 17-inch Toyota wheels

    Worthless suggestion from Toyota, and the dealer, if I'm on the Dempster Highway and the horrific mud on that road takes out my brake line.

    White smoke or vapor at startup?

    Water is a product of combustion, along with CO2. When that water is hot it makes steam. That is what you are seeing until the engine warms up. It's normal.

    Factory manuals currently 20% discount

    Their filters are a problem, I agree. I just selected the year, and manual transmission. The rest fell into place. I seem to recall you can also enter your VIN to filter this down further. BTW, as of last week this was not available at PartSouq. Also, be aware this is an international site. Not...

    Factory manuals currently 20% discount

    I'm looking at it. So far it shows the turbo, it only shows a 4 cylinder, and the air filter part number is correct. This also appears to be correct.

    Factory manuals currently 20% discount

    I've never seen it distributed. But, there have been sites that have it available online. I just checked PartSouq and they finally have the Gen4 Tacoma EPC available. I didn't study it, only observed it's available. https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/genuine/locate?c=Toyota

    Factory manuals currently 20% discount

    The Factory Service Manual was never intended to include the Electronic Parts Catalog. They have always been separate.

    Here is a screen shot of dealers. Many are discount, but the discount varies. Some offered free shipping on orders over $75. Open several carts and see who comes out the winner. I've done online business with Claremont. My local dealer is American.

    Kinetic Rope Size

    Two different recovery tools. A kinetic rope is used when somebody is mired up. Sand, snow, mud. A recovery strap is good for moving somebody who is not mired up, but just needs a gentle tug to get them up, or over, an obstacle. Recovery straps are also good as winch line extensions. Kinetic...

    Kinetic Rope Size

    From JM Rigging: "When choosing a recovery rope it is best to figure a rope that has 4 times the capacity of the weight of your vehicle. For example, if your vehicle weighs 5,000lbs a rope with at least 20,000lbs capacity or more would be required, our 3/4" line rated at 25,000lbs would be an...

    100% agree. Once I acquire my truck it will be the first thing to come off. That, and the spare tire ... and one other thing I will talk about later.

    The one eye sore of the 4th gen tacoma…

    Ya, I suspect he would have heartburn with the spring hanger on my Gen1 4Runner. Not to mention the shackles hanging down too.

    What's wrong with a generic fuse block? Something like a Blue Sea 5025 or 5028.
