When did Toyota switch the tailgate cables to rubber straps? My 17 had cables my 2020 has straps.

Have pics?

My 13 has thin metal cables with a rubber sleeve over each one.
 
Part of the soft open/close function?

I guess mainly because I have had such good luck with the Duratracs. High mileage, good tread in slick conditions, studs, and off-road. I like the KO's but the Duratracs have been good to me over the years on my 4 Runner and my Tundra.
I've had good luck with Duratracs too, but I question the logic of going smaller than stock.

My 19 has a round rubber covered cable.
 

Could that just be a square cover over the same cable? I recall a few people having the round one twist and stick out of the slot between the bumper and tailgate. Maybe the square cover helps prevent this?

As it is my tailgate flexes a small amount and I assumed it was the very thin cables stretching due to the shallow angle they are at under tension.
 
It could have a cable inside but it doesn't feel like it. Also with the tailgate down it doesn't seem to have any pressure on it.

Got any suggestions? Only options thatt I can find that have nything looking like a decent off road tire are the KO2's and the General Grabber. If these are my only opitons then I would go with the KO2's but would rather have the Duratrac's any day even at the risk of looking like pizza cutters.

I like the soft opening tailgate feature, but I agree they don't seem to be as strong.

I have stood on both styles and the 2020's seem to have more "flex".
 
Headlamps are available for $1800 each (+ tax + shipping) No proof of ownership required. The HE grill is technically available, but I have ordered two already, both came with non-HE grills on the box. We have made Toyota aware there is a boxing issue and they are looking into it. price on the grille sub-assy + both headlamp covers is $1150 + tax + shipping.
There are a few ways to blackout the headlamps for a fraction of the price. The HE grille has been available in other non-US markets for a while and there is a Chinese knock off on eBay available that requires a hole drilled in it for front camera.
Do you mind listing a few of the headlight darkening methods you’re talking about here.

Correct @jeproks ... Lightwerkz is the company, good people, but be careful because there is no warranty after they open them up. I would strongly advise against it if you live in the south, extreme heat can cause gas seepage and the light can have appearance of mildew in the inner assembly.
 
In case anyone is wondering about the p/ns for the Tundra BBS wheels.

2019 TRD PRO BBS: PT960-34190-02, BBS Forged wheel, matte black finish. ("PRO" on flange)
2020 TRD PRO BBS: PT960-34190-F2, BBS Forged wheel, flat black finish ("PRO" on flange)

2020 TRD SPORT BBS: PT960-34200-02, BBS Forged wheel, flat black finish ("TRD" on flange)
View attachment 2096971

The glossy black wheel shown in the first pic on post #55 is 42611-0C200 and was used on the 2017 TRD PRO Tundra and now is used for the 2019+ Tundra on a different package with a P255/70/18 tire.

Resurrecting this old thread as I have been looking at some new wheels for my 2015 LC. As far as I can tell the only difference are cosmetic. Is there really any difference between the two versions of the Pro and TRD. There is a Sept sale on TRD parts so I can get the "TRD" version for about $500 each. The Pro seem to be special edition and thus ~$75 more.
 
The bbs pro wheels are forged Alloy, so it's lighter. It's also wider as well.
 
Thanks, I thought they were all 8" wheels. And I have yet to find any weights for them.
The heritage/trd pro wheels 2019 and above I believe are 27-28 pounds. The trd off road or old tundra pro wheels are 31 pounds.

Heritage wheels is 9 inch width
