    Hey everyone, I'm still very new to this site, so I apologize for my questions!
    I just recently bought my first truck, and I think I made a great choice on it. It's a 2012 DCLB TRD Sport, and only at about 36 thousand kilometers. I have some plans for the truck, but I want to get all the maintenance out of the way first to start with a clean slate. Does anyone know of any way to check if any TSBs have been completed. I live just outside of Edmonton, so I'm not sure which TSBs apply. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for the TSBs that would be great. I'm also looking for ideas for builds that would also be awesome.

    Loving the site so far, you're all super helpful.

    What issues are you having that would require a TSB?

    I'm getting some very squeaky leaf springs, but mostly just preventative maintenance so far

    That's a common issue with many of our leaf packs. You can grease them for the time being. Don't use WD 40 though because it'll dry out your bushings.

    In order to go into a dealer and have a TSB performed you need to have an actual problem that a TSB has been issued to solve. For maintenance you can check your manual for the schedule per miles.

    Toyota can probably search the VIN to check. You can only get TSB replacements/fixes if you are having issues, they are not the same thing as recalls.

    Thanks for the help! Any suggestions for add-ons and mods other than tires and wheels? (If that's not too big of a change of subject) right now all I have is a tri-folding tonneau cover, but I'm not sure I'll have it too much longer after winter, as I have a kayak to take to and from the lake as well as a lot of hauling for work. I've been looking into a full ome lift and Dakar springs but that's a lot of money for me to commit right now. Would parting that out and installing it separately be a better option?
