    Does it have random brown patches or is the whole thing turning brown? Pictures might help.

    It sounds like a fungus and watering it more only makes it worse. Not a lot you can do until it cools off but buy some fungicide and follow the directions. You'll probably need to reseed the area in the fall.

    Vegas Peeps - I'm fixing to make the switch from a Pro Comp 3" coil over lift to an Icon Stage 3 or 4.

    Two Questions:
    1. Any one have any experience with installing a kit like this DIY? If so, is it worth giving it a try on my own?
    2. Any recommendations for a quality shop to do the install?
    On a separate note, I'm looking for someone capable of helping me with some electronics related items- mostly related to winch and lights.

    Peace Beaches!

    Have you tried Nevada Shooters? It's a wider market for selling them.

    Hello! Just purchased a '15 DCSB 4WD w/ OR package. Just wondering if it's common for a new rig to shake at highway speed starting at 50+? I did a search and know that it's a common issue now, but with a brand new truck with 2miles when purchased...seems odd. Could it be anything beyond the wheels needing to be balanced?

    Bought the same truck and it shakes a little as well. The steering wheel used to shake all the time at 60-65 but almost all the way gone after they road forced the tires. It will do it every now and then still though. Feels like shit tires to me.

    Not sure if 2015's are susceptible to the driveline/driveshaft issues of earlier 2nd gens. Whatever it is, I'd be heading to the dealer ASAP to address the shake. Do not let yourself be fooled or bullied into spending your money and getting stuck with a lifelong problem. Hopefully it's just in need of a balance job...whatever the case make the dealer/Toyota fix it!

    At any rate, congrats on your new ride! Hope you get it squared away quickly.

    Depending on how long it sat on the lot, the tires could have flat spots,I would be taking it back to the dealership and letting them fix it

    Happy with the dealer in Henderson. Take the LEFT exit off car dealer road on 95 South and talk to them. Prolly wheels, ask for all 4 wheels dynamic balancing no less. They did my S/C, and doing first 3 year oil changes. Take a tech on a drive Once you leave the dealership, turn left. Turn right Turn right. There is a road you can easily hit 60 that goes South towards B City. It's where I tested my Supercharger install. WooHoo!

    Look it up on Google maps. Tech should know it well. If he don't he's an oil changing monkey. Get another.

    Any reason you don't like it there? That's where I've taken my 13taco and 15corolla since I moved here 2 and a half months ago and the service has always been really excellent.
    The only other dealership that I've been to out here is the one off of Sahara and I didn't like that place at all. Tried to go in for an oil change and I sat in my car in the service line for about 10mins without anyone even looking in my direction or acknowledging that I was there. That annoyed the hell out of me, so I left and went to Centennial, they're closer to my house anyways.
