I purchased one preemptively for the same reason.

Agreed, not a fan of the Raptor lights.

That’s awesome, I would buy one now if available. Sign me up.

The plastic engine cover is a known source of noise, also the catalytic converter heat shields are a common culprit.

My Iron Man bars came marked with white paint, install was pretty straightforward.

I’ve used Valvoline Maxlife ATF in many Toyotas and Lexus with great results. I always to a full fluid exchange using a cooler line.

I daily drive my LX, it’s also used for our road trip/ski trips, mpg usually in the 10-12 range (but have achieved a best of 15.1). Like others have said gas is cheap compared to an additional vehicle.

Sounds like you followed the correct procedure. No there’s nothing the dipstick can hit, it’s just the friction of the dipstick bending to the curves of the tube, so long as you got the dipstick to completely seat/latch it’s all the way in. Your definitely low, I’d add a 1/2 quart and recheck...

I also just installed the billet piece, pretty awesome craftsmanship.

I’ve used both the Valvoline/Zerex and Peak red/pink Asian car formulas long term with no issues.

Couldn’t be an engine mount if you were parked as these engines idle so buttery smooth. I would also vote it’s a bad coil as a misfire causes the engine to be out if balance and feel like a wobble. When I had a bad coil it didn’t set off the CEL until it was very severe.

A bad coil caused these same symptoms on my 100. The bad coil caused a misfire that initially felt like a shudder/vibration, it quickly got very bad and the truck was almost un-drivable. I limped it home, scanned it, replaced the coil on cylinder 6, and it has been fine since. I now keep a spare...

I just had a buddy go through this on his 2008’ish Tundra with 180,xxx miles that mysteriously dropped a valve. A new engine installed by Denny Menholt Toyota was outrageous, even a used engine installed by them was quoted at $9,000+. He ended up having a reputable mechanic (who is also a local...

Get a check for the full oem repair, then upgrade to an arb or Ironman bumper. It looks like a fender, headlight, headlight trim and tie rod are about all you need. Good luck.
