    Well, I will start with the easiest and swap the fluid. There’s a sticker on the pumpkin saying LSD fluid only.

    Forgive me if I missed it, but other than popping it into neutral, what other driving idea?

    The only actual mods in the pics are the red led dome lights from MESO, and the raptor style lights in the grille. Everything else is Toyota OEM parts.

    Edit: Those are MESO turn signals in the mirrors as well. Almost forgot about those. There’s several other MESO items as well, but they’re done so nicely that they look OEM.

    Bunch of Basic Taco mods.
    Regarding the prior conversation on what’s stock and what’s not.

    My perspective has always been “what mods are in the spirit of the original vehicle”.

    My last car was a daily. It had a short shifter, stock wheels with upgraded tires, thicker sway bar, Koni shocks with stock springs, upgraded headlights and fogs, and quite a stereo that was all hidden away from sight except the head unit. It was a car you could walk past in a parking lot and never notice.

    Modified, but still flying under the radar. That’s my perspective at least, and largely the reason my truck won’t see extensive modifications....at least I doubt it will.

    Is this moaning heard only on turns?
    Are sure someone isn’t in the back seat?
    That’s all I got for now.
    We have run into a lsd fluid issue.
    We have had to add extra lsd additive (ie 2 bottles instead of one) to stop a shudder on turns
    that developed after a fluid change.
    Just a heads up...
