There's like 20% off / free shipping.
Works better at some dealers than others. Stuart FL was good....Daytona not so good.

Doesn't really show all discounts until almost done with checkout.

 

That’s like me assuming led lights where to when I got leather and heated seats. But no still halogen lol

 

Check your owners manual. The TRD OR trim uses around 4.2 qts.

You'll need 4 quarts, and you don't need synthetic. Just get a jug of regular SuperTech from Walmart.

 

Do you know why the gear shop specifically say not to use synthetic?

 

the only time I've specifically avoided synthetic gear oil was trying to find it without the friction modifier(yes amsoil and a few others make it w/o the additive) for positrac clutches because on the GM lockers and others of that design the stickiness of the fluid causes issues for the mechanisms. Other than that there shouldn't be any reason to not run synthetic.

 

Wow, great advice on replacing the rear diff fluid, thanks to all.

 

I believe that all came with the tech package and/or the premium sport package in 2019. Not sure which as my 2019 had both. But only the drivers door had the touch sensor for the lock.

 

looks like coils and leaf springs are cast and manufactured in Australia. Shocks appear to be assembled there as well. Couldn't find a Made in XYZ stamp on my full Dobinson's lift but it sure feels like high quality stuff to me.

I emailed them. The shocks are made in China. I guess I’m biased since my wife is from Taiwan. China wants to invade Taiwan.

 

Graduated to 35's today! Falken AT4W's in 35x11.5r17 on Relation Racewheels RR7H's Matte Black -13 Offset 17x8.5. These weigh in at 68lbs in C load, prior 295/70r17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT's E rated were 71lbs. Next is a fender trim and C4 front liners.

 

what was wrong with the plugs?

 

where did you get the running boards?

 

I picked up a pair of 5125s today at 4WD parts. Began prepping the Icon RXT leaf packs for install (option 2). I’m hoping to install this weekend or the next.

 

Hey. Did you end up installing the winch with the covert bumper already on the truck?
I’m wanting to install my lightbar, but not a fan of taking the whole bumper back off..

 

I think usually you can do it by just pulling the grill.

 

Looks like the 20% off sale is over but here is the link for double cab: https://autoparts.treasurecoasttoyotaofstuart.com/products/product/running-boards-pt21235055

Looks like they still have free shipping though which is nice for the boards ~50lbs and 'yuge' box.

If you wait a little bit i would suspect they will run a black friday sale again for around 20-25% off w/ free shipping like they have in the past.

 

They are due at 60K for the V6, at least for the 2023 2GR-FKS ENGINES...

 

Have a closer look at that. Are you sure that the actuator joint did not jump from? The locking mechanism in the tailgate?
