19 Tacom OR misc

Hey Everyone,

New to TW, just bought a used 19 OR from Diplomat Motors in Oregon (I DONT RECOMMEND THEM). Long story!!! Maybe I'll make that another post.

Anyways, since I cant reply to posts because of some restrictions that keep popping up when I try. heres my first post.

Maintenance wise, Ive replaced/flushed ALL the fluids and filters since taking ownership, next is brakes and rotors since I feel a shimmy when braking. I did lubricate the drive shaft, however I only found 3 or 4 zirks, Ive seen the YT videos where people have 6 or more, but all Im seeing is sealed U-joints with no place to lubricate. Is there a difference between Sport and OR tacomas? Should I have the dreaded stealership do this??

Also, I've made positive purchases from members here selling their parts and just want to say THANK YOU!!!

Now the audio side, I have the stock JBL system and its debilitating on the ears. Do I have to upgrade to a premium HU and AMP to get better sound?? Or should I just stick with the recommended Kickers speakers that seem to placate most? Think budget here~

Heres one, there is DUST, behind the plexiglass, where the trip odometer twisty thing is!!! Ive never seen this before and didnt think it was possible. is there a way to clean and/or replace the plexiglass?? behind there without messing up the gauges?

Has anyone tried the SUMO bumpstops, for the rear suspension?? I bought the truck with this lame leveling kit, and the rear sag is killing my back, not to mention the factory bumpstops are just solid pieces of stone, I thought maybe purchasing SUMO's would alleviate SOME of the ride harshness, until I can upgrade the suspension all around. I will be towing with this tacoma, so having the rake lower in the front than rear would be ideal. so it rides level when hauling the tralier.

Nothing much else to add, I think my next post will about my purchasing experience. So to those brave enough to read through my rant, and make recommendations for the above issues, I am greatly appreciative!!!!.
