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??

Never said that, don't trust but verify which was the point of my entire post.

To summarize your point, “I’ve been alive for 60 years, trust me bro, my experience is conclusive proof” doesn’t cut it, I’m sorry The logic that many use on here is this... Risk of changing oil at half interval = Near 0. DIY cost $40 2-3 times a year. Risk of trusting Toyota interval =...

Risk of changing oil at half interval = Near 0. DIY cost $40 2-3 times a year. Risk of trusting Toyota interval = potentially huge $$ loss Therefore, one can eat the cost out of abundance of caution. Can be proven out later one way or another with no down sides other than some time and low $...

Just because you didn't see anything = good? No trying to be a jerk but thats not how logic and science works. If you expected to see metal shavings then I think you need to see some youtube videos from the motoroil geek about this. Its free

Which style did you purchase? I see theres quite a lot of bump types for the LC250. ADS 2.125, King? I cant seem to find documentation on it.

We desperately need some tests proving the thicker oil is better for the engine that requires 0w-20, eg cooler oil temps (thicker oil btw will run hotter) and less wear particles. So far I haven't seen anything of that nature. Its just a dart against the wall. "I used thicker oil and nothing...

Congrats! Your trim comes with almost everything you need, keep it OEM+ unless you really have a need. A few things you may want to consider: Break in oil change, yes modern engines break in proven with oil analysis. If you dont care then skip. Frame rust protection especially if you live in...

Ive seen a few move it to the back bumper. So it can be done, however there's many tradeoffs to be made. Blocking camera, overhang, higher cg. Possibly worse departure angle. Relocate the rear plate. Longer vehicle for parking, swing out gets annoying opening the rear. Aesthetically ugly and...
