What Have You Done To Your 4th Gen Today?

They were decent. I also used these guys:

1. Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories: Official Online Store of Premier Toyota (premierautoplex.com). North Platte Nebraska.

2. Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories: Official Online Store Lewis Toyota. Topeka KS

The link in 1, the Premier Auto, they had oil for shipping so I got 6 quarts of TGMO for $4.25 a quart. Not many places ship oil, so when it was 25% off, I got it for a good price with free shipping. When I ordered a bunch of loose parts, like washers and screws, they sent the screws in a hand labelled bag with the part number. One bag per part number instead of just throwing them loose into a large bag like other dealers have done. That made keeping them organized very easy.

Lewis Toyota actually replies to their email when I asked them a few questions. I find that many parts places just straight up ignore emails. Both had the same markdowns, 30%, off MSRP which stacks with the deals when Toyota runs a 15-30% off sale. Both are out of state so no sales tax, which is awesome.

 

Thanks, I'll add those to the list to check when buying.

I wish someone with some html skill could make a price checker for all the individual dealers to find the lowest prices. It's obnoxious how Toyota sells parts... And cars for that matter

 

Husky X Act countours for the manual transmission. Back will be here in a few days not sure why they shipped separately.

Thank you I ordered the inserts the seller was super easy to deal with. Since the mat letters are raised a bit did you put any extra glue down on the mat part or just used the adhesive backing that's on the emblem?

 

After some trial and error hooked up a set of Rough Country E Steps.

 

yeah actually I put a bit of rubber glue, i found without it the inserts came loose after a few drives. haven’t came off since

 

Thought I’d try the vinyl overlay before getting new wheels since I hate that silver ring. Ruins the whole aesthetic. Anyways, I rage quit after 20 minutes. It’s unfortunate how much better the wheel looks all black, idk what Toyota was thinking with the silver ring. But now to go spend more money on new wheels.

 

Got some method MR318’s 17x8.5 +25 wrapped in Falken atw4 285/70 R17. No rubbing at all on a stock suspension TRD Sport. Now just have to figure out how to set up the tpms with the new wheels.

 

I actually like that look with the chrome lugs.

 

Where did you get the vinyl? I've only seen the 17" ones.

Why not try black Plasti Dip first?

 

Has anyone bought any aftermarket tailgate shock? Haven’t found one that specifically says works on the 24 tacos yet. Sorry if already been addressed didn’t see anything when searched.

 

I’m not patient enough to tape off every angle.

 

How were the Protech screen protectors to install?
Took delivery of my Underground Sport Premium last week.

 

Installed OEM bed step. It makes getting into the bed so much easier.

 

Like to know which 285's your looking at and how they affect mileage. I was looking at 265/70-18's today in Toyo A/T III's (both p and LT) and Falken A/T3W's today.

 

Mounted the Prinsu/CBI roof rack this weekend, minus all the wiring for lights, which is still pending.

Some takeaways- the instructions are sparse- It's not rocket science, but the parts labels are minimal, and it's not IKEA level instructions. Basically went together pretty quickly with two people. The covers for the rail mounts on top of the cab are interesting for those that haven't got to it yet- The black plastic covers just pop off vertically. Under that is a strange I guess sticky label of some sort that has a thin layer of body paint over it. You kind of peel off the top layer of body paint, and it leaves a sticky surface in a strip around the two mounting holes. The mounting holes caused me some anguish as they bolts provided did not go in hand loose- I suspect the captured nuts on the cab are the slightly oblong ones to prevent you from needing thread locker. It adds some noise, but not that much- it might be partially covered by the ANC in the cabin. Also, the weight up top is noticeable in body roll.

I added the 40" light bar- and now I have to figure out how I'm going to run the power line to the engine compartment cleanly. The wiring harness is included.

I got the handles and the camp lights (not installed yet.) The handles are cool for hauling yourself up into the cab if you don't have steps, and I think some of the noise from the rack is coming from them, as they are exposed to the wind. I'll wire these to the bed light mounted in the back fin, so they come on with the bed light and bed rail lights.

 

Where did you run the power from for the lights on your roof rack?

 

Wish someone would make a mount that fits around the ARB tow hooks. I'd really like to have one of these.
