I've done way too much on this topic so a few quotes from myself:
Lastly, tank range is dependent on lots of things - temperature (!), elevation change, wind, loaded weight, air dam off or on, bigger tires, etc. Over 45 fill-ups I've gotten as much in the summer as 388 on a tank with 12...
If you know the part number just google that number and you will get many links to dealer web sales sites that discount. (They all seem to use a similar Toyota web sales interface)
I've bought from at least 5 or 6 of them. Nucar Toyota of North Atteboro (MA) (or something like that) often has...
Here is what my tire shop put in when I added a set; Got a set off amazon for a bit less than they charged when I was getting new ones for my son. Not advocating, but they do work. Autel TPMS at Amazon
Thanks! They look great. Of course in that shot with the vehicle on flat ground, the CV is almost straight in (so not much apparent angle in this state (good). I'm interested to see that angle at full droop if that is possible (during alignment it will be resting on the tires but maybe the...
I've got the Wolfbox G900 (writeup here: Mike D G900 install experience) which I think is great but I decided to revert bake to my stock digital rear view mirror and mount the G900 on the dash.
Reasons:
1. I miss the reliability of the Homelink buttons (so much better having them back and not...
Very exciting, Van. Watching closely. Hope you might answer a couple questions as I consider this setup. (Note: I also have a TRD ORP)
What height are you setting the front at? 3" max sounds great but I'm worried about CV angle - so... are you adding a diff drop or setting it lower or ...
If you are using a floor jack, you can lift from the differential - front or back. In fact, the stock TH steel skids (both front and the one for rear diff) have a embossed circle where the jack is supposed to contact. If you have the stock fiberboard/plastic "skid" plates (not sure if Platinum...
Some thoughts: These tires are the SAME width and an inch SMALLER in diameter than the stock on TRD OR/PRO/TH - and the difference in suspensions between Platinum and those other trims is not that great. (Ground clearance spec difference from Platinum to TRD OR is only .3" - less than what you...
Meant to quote this:
Are those wheels 7" wide? Looking for TRD wheels and they all seem to be 7", hoping to fit those same tires as you on stock suspension.
The wheels in the photo you linked are TRD Flat Black option wheels. 18x8"
TRD PRO wheels are 18x8.5"
TRD OR stock wheels are 18x7.5"
The...
Do you also have the TRD Off-road Premium? Yes
do you need to adjust anything with the sensors after rotating your own tires? No. (TPMS readings need some time on road to reset - sometimes <mile. And if I swap, I just go to the other set (vehicle allows you to register two sets of Tires/TPMS) -...
I will note that that tire (32.2") is .4" smaller diameter than your TRD OR stock 265/70R18 (32.6") (well in standard sizing - Falkens tend to be larger so a falken might be closer to your stock). But why not consider the 18" Trailhunter (bronze) wheel and still go 275/70 but move up in size...
Decided to get a floor jack (Duralast 3 ton) and impact wrench soon after I got the 6G4R. Always put jack stands under frame for safety but for quick tire swap just do two front than two rear with floor jack holding the load. I've gotten lots of use since I swap my big (285/75R18) offroad...
I found this potential setup so interesting I had to look it up. Here is the page with the spec from MT: MT Baja Boss A/T specs.
First, the 8.5 wheel is outside what they spec as the range of 6.5 - 8.0" - but you seemed to have surmised that. I may not chance that but I've gotten lucky on...
Yep - I misspoke: Looks like "LED liftgate light" is standard on TH, and optional on Limited, Platinum and PRO. I knew I should have checked before posting:>)
Still wish I could add them to my ORP - even if dim with stock bulbs, you might be able to replace with something brighter since they...
These TRD PRO aluminum skids have been for sale for about a year - don't expect a change in craze at this point. And some others above seem to have gotten it for less than the typical current price (which is in the neighborhood of $400). But you might consider the steel skid from Trailhunter or...
Related thread. Random 6G4R Observation of the day Highlighting my ignorance of something that is obvious once you notice it: the covers are two different sizes.
Really disappointed that the 6G4R does not come with hatch lights except TrailHunter (and no evidence that the part is available or can be integrated into other trim's hatches.)
So... I posted a similar solution as one of my very early posts to this forum.
Idea is the same, your specific...
Thanks for the idea! I have mine mounted ON the bumper just below and behind the license plate but I've had it hit snow piles on the trail. I think your solution is better and I'm going to look at doing it this weekend (along with repositioning the rear camera under the car and mounting the...
