This. Once upon a time I had 285/70R17s on Rock Warriors and was looking at Aux tanks. Knowing the 13-gal options require lowering the spare tire somewhat, I was also looking into which tires I could run on a narrower Tundra wheel to reduce...

I’ve been using DexVI for about 60k miles without issue.

This goes against what the owners manual says, and is likely very unhealthy for our Torsen limited slip center differential, especially if that driving includes any freeway time.

These engines are well-known for being easy on the oil. I’d be shocked if any damage was caused by using mobil1 vs another product. Even the OCI is within what the book says is acceptable, though I accept the evidence that repeating this for the...

Yeah I started a thread about people's maintenance spreadsheets, partly to collect other people's ideas and see if they could improve my system. The torque sheet is particularly useful though. I've definitely spent time digging around in the...

You guys should consider adding torque specs to your cloud-based maintenance spreadsheet. When set up to save for offline viewing all these numbers (including the calculation for when to use the smaller in-lb tool) are available anywhere I have...

Meaning you addressed the valley plate within a week of it starting or within a week of noticing fluid was low?

Someone’s jumping to conclusions. I’ve had a mid-tread flat on a C-load LT as well, just not on my 200.

My experience with SL/XL has been great over a couple dozen trips to SW colorado. I did have one fail in the center of the tread but I wasn't aired down and this road couldn't have been better material for flats if it tried. And the 99.5% of...

If you shut the truck off for a couple hours, does the fan roar when you start it up again and it hits that initial high idle? Any signs of a leak from the clutch, whether from the shaft seal or the outer perimeter? I will say how free it...

Yeah, I came down off a rock or ledge and must have tapped the skid on another rock. TBH I'm not worried about the dent.. when I get time I had plans to pull the front skid and hammer it out as best I can. Personally I wouldn't want to give up...

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...
