Also for anyone looking to replace the engine air filter, PN 17801-YZZ11 is NOT the one that comes with the truck from factory. It is a suitable replacement but it is much thinner than the original. The original one is PN 17801-0P051 (or PN 17801-31131).

In person, the tint looks pretty equal between the front and rear windows. I went with 70% because it would be the closest match to 20% when combined with the factory rear darkened glass. No issues seeing out of it even at night.

I just replaced my factory paper filter with the carbon one at 1 year/15k miles. Carbon one feels much heavier and solid - so far it's been helping a LOT with the pollen we've been getting in NC. No perceived difference in airflow so I'd say this is a win. PN is confirmed 87139-30110...

I thought we didn’t need to worry about carbon buildup anymore - don’t our 4 cyl engines have port injectors to keep the intake valves clean?

Pick these OEM mats up during the sale and figured I would post some pics for reference (I couldn't find any on the internet). Not the best coverage compared to aftermarket options but I prefer OEM for longevity, fitment, and clean branding. Plus they were pretty cheap with the sale (~$120)...

Currently at 14k miles in just under a year

I feel you man - these cars really aren't cheap anymore. For me at least, the Pro was a no-go simply because it was a hybrid. On top of that I wanted the switchable 4WD and diff lock so ORP was really the only way I could go. With that being said though, I do plan to retrofit the stuff that I...

This could be the perfect opportunity to replace that part of the bumper with the trailhunter/pro variant! That way you get an OEM viper cut and get to easily run the trailhunter/pro fender flares!

First time getting to play around with 4HI and wow: this thing was a beast in the 7 inches of snow we got in Durham. Fully stock and half worn tires - had zero issues and honestly didn't even need 4HI. This is my first 4x4 daily and, honestly, I don't think I can live without one going forward...

Bronze looks really good on everest (thanks for the inspiration lol). Definitely needs some bronze center caps to match it now!

Serious question: where in the US can one go to get a plain car with no forced port/dealer added accessories?

Can you pls post some pics of your limited ones as well? Thanks!

Can you post some more pics of the trailhunter headlights on everest? I'm debating between the limited and the trailhunter lights

Something that I’ve found true over the years: Never get any of the dealership add ons. It’s always horrible quality and you can do much better at a local shop. This includes tint, ppf, gps trackers, “nitrogen filled tires,” etc. I had to beg my dealer to not touch the car after it came off the...

Awesome so it’s the exact same as the Tacoma - Thanks for documenting this. I’m definitely gonna do this retrofit
