Thanks for posting this, I’ve been meaning to add it to the manuals I keep on my phone.

Yeah this is what I figured. At times, my cruiser is reluctant to engage the CDL but I’m always messing with it on gravel and I exercise it monthly. I’m betting the one we’re looking at has been a pavement princess. I was debating on asking the sales rep to do this tomorrow before we make the...

We’re test driving a 21 LX this weekend, what’s the best way to test the CDL and 4Lo? I figured I’d just engage in the parking lot after driving around for a while, that or asking the sales rep if there’s gravel lot around? Truck has 50k on the odo and is a CPO so I’m not expecting any...

Mine has had one of the middle green lights go off and on before but I’ve never experienced the Schrödinger error. I’d check for loose connections, try tapping the gauge first maybe.

Factory e-lockers front and rear would be my desired option. I also think those free switches the Inos has is a nice touch. Yeah, I modded the crap out of ours but I wouldn’t want Toyota making those choices for me.

Where on the engine? Any heat tabs? If it came from a yard 99% it would have heat tabs on it. A remain from Toyota, I have zero clue about.

So are you doing this experiment?

“Upgrading valve body for towing” rabbit hole was not on my to do list today… Also, yellow would be my choice. Easier to see that expensive piece of gear.

Oh I was just asking. Recently, I kicked around changing UCA’s from what I currently run due to some bad experiences I’ve read or heard about but decided to keep them after talking to my suspension supplier. In my research this Ironman thread hit my rabbit hole so I was curious as to what your...

That’s the kind of customer service that will make me stick around after a bad experience. Are you going to make any changes or run those UCA’s and new ball joints?

Of course it’s from the Aussies. I’m sure there are shops in the US that can build these but finding the specific Toyota specialty tranny shop would be needle in haystack. I’d be tempted to go this route versus OEM only because of my use case. Stock daily driver, OEM all day…fat heavy built...

Forbidden glitter…. I’m assuming you’re replacing transmission, can you upgrade valve body in the new tranny?

Same issue here but I’ve managed to get it to quiet down with a small amount of this sprayed where the UCA bushing is slightly exposed.

No, I do not believe these are the ones you want. It looks like these fit smaller trucks like the Tacoma. This is what I have and it has the 200 series UCA part number on the fitment list.

I’d love a solid per capita issue per owner. They have to have tons of these in use that go issue free for the duration of ownership. Like you said, a good non race style option with the adjustability they offer just isn’t out there. I’ll trick out a lot of stuff on my truck but some things...
