What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Know it well..

 

It does, it's just not originally designed for the Taco. Same part, different material. Some claim the bypass is different, I looked at mine closely and can't see how it's different. Had mine on for 2 years now and it appears to be working just fine. The bypass is for over-pressure relief, pressure is pressure, no matter what vehicle...and they all run the same oil pressure.

After the dealer did the first 3 oil changes on my truck, I started doing it myself. The plastic housing shattered taking it off, dealer must've used an impact putting it on. Aluminum would take a lot more abuse before shattering.

 

That’s the exact same part number I purchased as well, it should work as long as you don’t have a JBL system. Just make sure they include the nav box with the HU. I’ve seen some people trying to sell it separately to make more money off of them.

 

Also another thing I forgot to mention. You will need to keep the mounting brackets off your stock unit and swap them over onto the Sienna one so it’ll mount up into the dash.

 

I was trepidatious about fitment before I called my OEM Parts guy in NY...He gave me an OEM answer that the VIN# only lists:

$30 15620-36020 Genuine Toyota OEM Oil Filter Cap (15620-36020)

15620-36020.

It really is up to your own discretion.

I put them both side-by-side and see they are almost identical.

The internals are very much the same; spring/valve tension, thread and contact point...the fins are slightly different.

The center piece stands a little taller...sitting flush with the top of the filter.

I kept the piece but you can twist it off and swap...I've had no issues leaving it as it was.

 

This Anytime locker dealio showed up about last Tuesday, we left for Colorado the day before on its maiden voyage, it was close to *100 in Missouri and we woke up to *40 up on Geneva Creek.
I knew I didn’t exactly need it for the trails, but I want it more of a want for winter playing! This truck did most everything in 2wd but I was loaded pretty heavy, hitting the bump stops on occasion!
Ideally a 2wd low would be money better spent, but I’m not springing for the lock out hub kit anytime soon ($,$$$.)
It was a great trip, but short! Homemade bambed platform, used shell cheap, used tent extension. ($550 total) Colorado scenes priceless!
Maybe I’ll install the Anytime harness tomorrow?

 

Are those anodized aluminum?

 

Is this how you're suppose to do it?

 

Careful, People will start thinking you have gone "Electric"........;-)

 

It's good to have a fall back plan!

Seems like an odd material choice for high conductivity.

 

I would be concerned about "dissimilar metal corrosion" Pb-Al

"Keep 'em dressed" is my suggestion

might be an option

 

I'm an electrician- when I installed them I coated all threads and the battery post areas with deox. I got them thru the Amazon Vine program and will post up a review soon.

 

Did you note the galvanic chart implide .2 V differential?

Good contact is essential!

I've got a s "summer sports car" that needs the battery terminals refreshed every spring.

 

I installed Anytime Camera in my 2023 Tacoma, yesterday. I ordered it from Trail Grid Pro, with pre-wired and soldered for another $30. The hardest part was running wires behind dash, and through the firewall.

 

I agree on the Frontier seats. My 87 and 09 Frontier seats, far more comfortable than my Tacoma seats. I still drive my 09 sometimes 363k miles and I don't have to duck my head to get in and the seat is still comfortable.

 

Yes, it appears you have the fuel nozzle in the correct orifice. Well done.

 

That positive terminal should be covered / shielded.

 

Pulled the truck in the shop yesterday to address the URD y-pipe I installed a couple months ago, I figured I would need to retighten all the hardware but found the rear most clamp wasn't holding the pipe very tightly at all, could actually move the whole rear section of the exhaust up and down, so I pulled the whole thing and used exhaust sealant on all slip in connections before installing it back and securing everything, let it sit and dry over night. Came in this morning and did the 5k service, oil change and rotation along with double checking a bunch of fasteners throughout the truck. Now that the exhaust is better secured and has the sealant it sounds much better, a lot of the annoying resonance I was hearing under heavier load is gone. It still has a bit of an undesirable tone at times but is way better than it was before. I'm willing to live with the tone for the benefits I have experienced with the pipes installed so far, which is slightly higher mpg, easier time getting up hills, and the security of not having cats for someone to steal! Having this exhaust along with the Anderson manifold spacer has made the truck much more enjoyable, now I just need to reach back out to OV tune to see if the lost cable I ordered will ever get resolved, though after 11 months I am guessing I'm screwed and just have to pay for another one. Looking forward to seeing how a tune will improve this further.

 

Good catch! I guess I know what to add to the list. Lol Would you have the Toyota part # for the metal housing? Thanks
