What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

the relief valve on the lexus/toyota metal one may be different

 

A retired mechanic at church told me that the bypass valve on the aftermarket housings might not up to spec and could cause problems. He told me just buy another original one from Toyota and keep as a spare. He said they are not that expensive and why take the chance. I’m was just confused when a Toyota dealer parts man says one thing and I see advertisements that say another. Thanks for the responses.

 

Kits like this make me think that is the issue: https://www.extremeterrain.com/oe-s...LhoCsLUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#customer_reviews

Why are there so many options to put it together?

 

Mine lasted two days and they were off. They put pressure on the back of my legs and killed my lower back. I just run the drivers seat in a rather low position daily, I'm only 5'-11". On long trips I raise the seat up and pay attention to the lower ceiling height on the door side of the sun roof.

The better head room and super comfortable seat are the only two things I miss about my 2015 Nissan 4x4 Frontier.

 

I was the admin and a moderator on a motorcycle forum that was heading to 100,000 members. Our first recommendation to someone annoyed with another member was to use the forum's built in ignore function. This forum software has the same ability.

 

Do you remember the part number of the Sienna HU? I am looking at a 86140-08190. Currently have the premium w/ nav.

 

I'm on 2 motorcycle forums, a motorcycle racing forum, a gun forum and here. Of those forums, I had 2 people on ignore on one of the cycle forums (that I hardly visit anymore) and the one that earned the honor here. I use it as a last resort. I may not agree with some people's opinions, I may not care for their attitudes, but I may still learn something from them. Almost everyone on the forums I visit add something positive, if not thought provoking. You can't ask for more than that.

 

yes. which valve to use would be confusing

 

A mesh grill from @customcargrills for a clean look for my '21 OR.
A+ fabrication and a very simple install.
Sensor is working as intended (so far).
Next are the little extra pieces at the head and fog lights.

 

Now why doesn't this fit a '21 Taco?

 

Looks sharp! Welcome to TW

 

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:

$29 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"........;-)
