So what coolant would recommend? I've never used the Toyota Oem stuff in any of my previous Toyotas.

 

Do you have to scan it? or can it be a logo online

 

Fill it up but don't submerge the inlet into the reservoir.

 

Fake leather! They call it softex. Feels nice, but also seems thin. Like it would tear/scratch a lot easier than leather.

 

i gotta say i would honestly like to see the limited version of the tacoma get redone by lexus.... at least then it would be better quality and worth the limited identification. they are trying to appeal to the lexus crowd with that one anyway in my opinion. semi-luxury truck

 

^^hmm luxury midsize pick up truck. like what Ford offers on their F150, King Ranch/Harley Davidson

 

Exactly what im sayin. I feel like a Tacoma with a the Lexus emblems and luxury styling would be kinda cool... not really my taste tho. i bought my truck for its functionality on and off road and i dont see any of those Harley Davidson edition F-150s anywhere offroad

 

regular green coolant 50/50 distilled water mix can changed regularly


the pink stuff acts like stop leak

 

I've only used the OEM red in both of my cars, never had any problems yet from ~80k miles of combined use.

 

Do you guys know if Servco Auto Parts Center does internet price match? been wanting to get a TRD cat back exhaust now. anyone got the hook up through Servco haha. last time I got a quote from them it was like 515$. been looking thought a couple TRD accessory site, a lot cheaper, but the shipping is what kills it.

 

No tried to match price of the supercharger off the Internet servco said no matching. Servco prices are jacked up any way.

 

Was that u driving H 1 took off the Waipahu cut off?

 

Tonight? Yes. I was looking at your truck , and thinking, cool another TX PRO! U have a nice truck. I could see your glowing boost gauge !

 

I also used the red in my mom's old Highlander for 90k miles before we traded it, for 48k miles in my Vibe GT before I traded it, and for 120k miles in my sisters RX300 before she traded it. Never any problems. Only time was when I cleaned my mom's intake manifold/plenum/TB and accidentally pinched an o-ring on the TB. Then I had a small leak, but a new o-ring fixed that right up

 

Looks like you just put a coat of wax on. Got another silver TX pro with roof racks that lives by me, don't see too much of the TX Pro's out there.

 

wow, that's a lot of driving.

 

I really wanted the TX pro pkg but they would not sell it to me for my truck. I was told they could only put it on a 2012 and not a 2013 wtf same truck! Spent twice as much and ordered the parts separately. I was bummed at first that I could not get the same wheels only the bronze. But now I don't regret going that rout.

 

if I were to trade in, i'd get a TX Pro, and maybe the 17" forged rims

 

My Vibe was a local car, but the other two were mainland cars and they had most of the mileage put on when we lived in Texas.

 

I asked if they would price match the TRD exhaust with no luck. They simply said if you can get it cheaper somewhere els get it there. But I did notice that all the parts departments have difrent prices on the same parts.
