  1. Reduced power see dealer warning

    Oh sorry! I completely missed that... now I'm clueless!

  2. Reduced power see dealer warning

    Wonder if it has anything to do with a "Hicup" in the clutch plate system inside the electric motor. My understanding of the I-force MAX operation is that the input shaft of EV unit (coming from engine crank) is not physically connected to output shaft going to Torque converter, transmission...

  3. First Oil Change for Hybrid iForce Max?

    Yeah, no issues here for us. As good practice and maybe to sleep better at night do it sooner than later. I did mine @ 1.9K , then @ 6k , 11k and last one @ 16k. Will probably do the next one at 20K jsut to stay in the odd 5K intervals. Enjoy the truck!

  4. Reduced power see dealer warning

    Keep us posted OP. Following. Waw you are almost reaching 30K miles!

  5. Hybrid Real World MPG (iForce Max) - post your model, specs, general driving conditions, results:

    Last few tanks I was into the 21 mpg range. As the weather in TX finally dropped below 90..... currently @ 16.7K

  6. 6G Paint Questions - Durability? Ceramic Coat or PPF?

    NOTE OF ADVICE : never run one of these through a carwash unless you want swirls everywhere. After reading more of the comments it confirmed my theory. I implored the dealer to leave the truck as it came off the ship. "Are you sure? we only hand wash them" they said... I did not want to risk...

  7. Do you change your own oil or have Toyota service center do it?

    Nice, It should all go very smoothly. Those Valves do look tempting as well.!

  8. Do you change your own oil or have Toyota service center do it?

    Yes, forgot to mention that. I did 4 wheels on the ground but had just enough space to remove skid plate ( 6 bolts) and do the rest, etc....with ease. I have a TH, so maybe the factory lift adds just a hair more space than a TRD OR. For sake of more comfort while doing it next time I might...

  9. 6G Paint Questions - Durability? Ceramic Coat or PPF?

    I believe you 100% the clear coat on these is softer than butter.... Hand washed only so far and no swirls, but rock chips on doors, and silly scratches I made by breathing on it.... OP I would go with Ice cap if scratches will bother you....Otherwise EVEREST is an amazing color. If you got the...

  10. Do you change your own oil or have Toyota service center do it?

    I got the first 2 free ones done at the Dealer. Afterwards I played for one at the Dealer since I had to go anyways for the last Toyota care tire rotation. Not doing that again...I had to correct them on 5.9qt vs the 7qt they had on the bill.... Did my 4th one yesterday at home and it is a...

    Fantastic! Great pick!

  12. Trailhunter Snorkel Sound / Noise 'Music' – Eliminated No More!

    Here is an update on this mod : - A tip for anyone doing this: there is a small plastic cover that needs to be removed that gets replaced by the " basket" assembly. To do so it will require removing and replacing 2 of the snap cap things. Just push on the middle of them to release and once out...

  13. Trailhunter ARB Roof Rack Accessories From Australia

    Just answered my own question above... It seems they make many types of T clamps for many applications.

  14. Trailhunter ARB Roof Rack Accessories From Australia

    Interesting ! Do you know the name or part # of that clamp setup? or is it pretty much universal in the ARB world?
