No too expensive not worth the benefit. Front / Rear: Valvoline 75w-90 full synthetic gear oil. 4 quarts are $40 right now Need 5.9 qt for rear and 1.4 qt for front for 4wd models. The fulltime 4wd models like limited require a different amount for the t-case oil/front diff. Transfer Case: Red...

Just did my rear diff at 11k and I was not happy about the contamination and superfine metal particles on the magnetic drain plug. The fluid was dark and mostly contaminated with metal. Nothing large at all just very fine. Will do the front / transfer case this tomorrow too. I've seen others...

No they dont come with hardware except for the diff skid. But you shouldnt need to order any hardware as you will utilize the existing ones already on.

This is a heinous crime against the automotive industry and a provocation the likes of which I've never seen.

None that I can feel or measure for, the total weight is only about 50 lbs. They are streamlined to frame similar to the original plastic front, just heavier. You can't convince me you'd feel anything with a 1.1% increase in weight for all 3.

Ive installed PT228-35248 with PTR60-35240 (non hybrid like yours) works fine

Front Trd Aluminum skid: PTR60-35240 (Trailhunter skid will work for non hybrid) Transfercase STEEL skid: PT228-35248 (PT228-35247 for hybrid) Rear Diff STEEL skid: PT228-89254 (Will work for both hybrid and non) In your case PT228-35248 for transfer and PT228-89254 for rear diff if you want...

Id use the hardwire kit through the firewall. External battery is another variable you have to worry about. Theres a rubber cable pass through under your left foot on the driver side. Engine bay has 2 fuse boxes, use the one one directly in front of the driver. Theres open (unused) fuses to tap...

Mishimoto just came out with one for the 4th gen taco. Lots of chat on the taco forums about that issue as well. Wonder how much needs to be modified for use in the 4runner if any. https://www.mishimoto.com/transmission-cooler-toyota-tacoma-2024.html One thing I don't like, haven't dug into...

Trailhunter and trd front skids should work on either hybrid or non. The transfer case skid will be a diff pt # as mentioned on the datasheet below thread. I believe the Hybrids have an additional cross member. See below PT228-35248 for non hybrid PT228-35247 for hybrid...

Good info all around. Can you guys elaborate on the Wildpeak being heavy? Compared to the Toyos for example? How much? Also if you had to rate the noise, which one comes out on top?

Thats how I'd approach it, but he did say he plans to release more data from everyone sending in oil samples. So more to come I hope..

Well we have some tests that compare the two. You sticking to 0w-20 or going to something else? Lets keep it professional.

Here's a video where he claims 1 cup excess oil is left with the fumoto on vs if you take it off. I was almost going to buy this but I think Ill stick to the old method for now. Either way should be ok.

What kind of grease would you recommend? AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease??
