This impact was so soft I was pretty sure it was just something I rolled over and it had been dampened by the sidewalls and suspension. I assume the aluminum deforming relatively easily did the dampening. And keep in mind the drain plug is...

Modern engines can and do run a bit hotter than older stuff we're used to, but I do start to get uncomfortable above maybe 220. I don't closely monitor digital temps but can say I've pretty much never seen my needle move off the usual spot, which...

If your fan clutch is working correctly there should be no need to downgrade to an electric fan. I say downgrade because there isn't a single electric fan that will fit into our vehicles that can match the air movement of our mechanical unit...

Yep. And IIRC it was a factor in @bjowett going AWD in his S/C Tundra.

I’d advise driving yours with the CDL engaged and front driveshaft removed to test out the dynamics before going too far with this. I suspect it’s a combination of power level, short wheelbase, and slinky suspension.. but our vehicles aren’t...

The bulk of the flow clears the skid system easily, it’s when flow slows down and it turns back and sticks to the oil pan then runs downward… that part ends up on top. And I know everyone loves those EZ-drain systems but I just can’t be sure I...

Denso does not make radiators for Toyotas from the factory. They are produced by a company called TRad, which I think is some kind of subsidiary, who's labeling is on new Genuine Toyota radiators bought from the parts department. The factory...

I'm only now realizing how great it would be to put AHC in Low to reduce movement of the vehicle when living out of it.. And that leads me to say.. Self-leveling would have been so easy! All the hardware is built-in.. but electrical demands? If...

LC and LX, after the windshield trim, rubber parts front to back a. 75551-60110 b. 75551-60110 (same) c. 75555-60020 d. 75555-60020 (same) e. 75554-60040 Each roof will also have one plastic 75596-35030 per side.. the location (between a&b or...

I can’t say why other than the 21 software is probably identical to 2016 which was the last significant model range update. I can say this.. CarPlay is by far the most-requested mod to this entire series of vehicles in the US. If it were a...

Some of them don’t. Seven years and 125k miles here with none missing, without the glue some people resort to. Between the sun and organic matter where I live there’s no way I’d go without, given the potential for corrosion at the body seam...

Interesting to me the aftermarket panel specifically says "HUD" Makes me wonder if some were designed to accommodate but others weren't. Probably a good question for the above mentioned thread. That or it's a pretty crazy coincidence if that...

Move the plastic piece in the direction of the arrows and the visible end will lift up. If you’re removing the rubber trim clean the area under it and the bottom of the trim itself with a wet rag. The broken down pollen and leaves and stuff...

Could be the very common recirculate flap linkage broken. Note that since this thread was posted a user here has offered a 3D printed product that easily fixes it...

There should be no gaps. Just rubber, roof rack feet, or the plastic cover shown above, from the top of the windshield all the way back to the spoiler. If the cover above is missing there will be a metal bracket remaining. If it's not that, it's...

I assume you got it aligned after the spacers? Did they give you a print-out with the values? Does it feel like it wanders on the freeway? I'm wondering if it has too little caster, which would also push the wheels toward the rear of the wheel...

I slide this thing up between the oil pan and skid where it's out of the way, loosen and remove the drain plug, then slide it across to make sure nothing drips onto the skid. Full-speed drain, zero mess. The only thing I have to clean up is the...

You'll love it. If it's on the way SW Colorado is totally worth stopping through. If you haven't seen one in person try to find a Blue Onyx Pearl to check out.

The bracket is probably fine but the detents molded into the bumper skin rounded off. Many of us have this issue. The next time I have my bumper skin off I intend to see what I can do to reinforce or space out the detent molds.. but I'm not...

I suspect Toyota's directive that caliper bolts are single-use was related to them being safety-critical... and, not sure how wide-spread it was, but a number of people that I trust to know how to torque hardware had them loosen up on their...

You wont hurt the cdl if you only drive in a straight line. Technically you aren't verifying that it's actually engaged but that's one point of the light. 4Lo can be done anywhere.. as long as the CDL isn't engaged you wouldn't be binding...

Decent chance it involves stops to zero from highway speeds.

Yes. And pull the door sill trim to check for water.

Trimming the vanity cap to fit has been discussed here before, but I just got some 17 wheels for my 13.. and yes the cap won’t fit but it seems even the wheel barrel is too tight to fit over the hub nut cap cleanly. I’ll take some pictures when...

Not sure whether it's all years but at least 08-15 LX only came with one tow hook in front.
