    Diff oil seeping

    Recently, I’ve noticed some slick spots manifesting around my rear differential cover. On TW there are posts on this issue. But none related to my case directly. I am concerned that my ARB diff breather kit will void my drivetrain warranty when the technician goes to repair it. I could...

    Recall Latest TSB Update (Fixed Shifting)

    No difference in my opinion. I still don't like it. I always use premium gas. Thinking about getting a CAI to see if there is a difference.

    What was your first mod?

    Clear-bra. But that’s an accessory. My first mod was ARB diff breathers. I want to be able to drive through water without the thought of sucking water into my diffs.

    2020 Announcement

    I completely agree. Even if they did fix it, they wouldn’t admit it.

    2020 Announcement

    Also, is the transmission shifting problem solved for 2020?

    2020 Announcement

    Colors available in TRD OR trim released yet?

    Recall Latest TSB Update (Fixed Shifting)

    I’ve put about 500 miles on this update. Still not feeling much of a difference. And the difference I do “feel” is probably placebo effect. It is such a struggle to pass people and to keep up with the flow of traffic. I find myself needing to 3/4 throttle it or throw it into sport mode and force...

    Signs you’re a MALL CRAWLER....

    Basically 80% of Northern Utah. The shorter the driver, bigger the truck and lift. I seldom see them tow anything with their big diesel trucks either. Blowing their e-cig out the crack of the window

    Anytime rear camera

    I’ve heard, while driving, you can shift to the reverse gear and see. I haven’t done this and probably will not try this. The idea is that- the truck knows not to go into reverse. Just like how you cannot downshift too much. It overrides the ability to ruin itself. But you could gain a glimpse...

    Hill assist issues

    I have this same problem. Freaked me out the first time it did it. My fix is to engage it on level ground before going into it. Kinda like foreplay. Gotta play with it a little first before going hard.

    I'll look for that too. Hopefully I don't have a loss of power.

    Recall Latest TSB Update (Fixed Shifting)

    After much thought about this, if I drive like a grandma, anything more than grandma is hauling ass. Less than half throttle = grandma. More than half = stolen.

    Crawl control

    Best damn thing ever! I got super stuck in some muddy snow in the mountains. I tried the rear diff lock and anything I could think of. I didn't know much about the craw control at the time. When I engaged it, I drove out of that sonbitch like I was pulling out of a parking stall in Arizona...

    Recall Latest TSB Update (Fixed Shifting)

    I just had mine re-flashed. The first attempt I went in to the Toyota Bountiful, UT where I bought my truck. The kid had no idea what I was talking about and seemed too busy to really talk to me about it. So I went to Larry H. Miller in Murray, UT and the guy in there knew immediately what I was...

    2019 Taco Pro wheel clearance

    I find it VERY odd as well. It would be headline news on this site if there were a SC offered. They still offer it for the Tundra I believe.

    2019 Taco Pro wheel clearance

    Toyota does offer the dual climate and heated "leather seats" on their OR lineup. It's the premium package. I have it. And no, Toyota does not offer a supercharger for the 2016+ Tacoma. If you're going to upgrade the suspension and tires on a PRO, you might as well get the OR premium package and...

    A Better Diff Breather Mod - No Drilling Required

    This was my first mod to my new truck. Except I went with the ARB unit. I do not like the check-valve style vent. IMO, it needs to move air both ways; heat expansion in the diff. And when you drive through cold streams or rivers, the warm air in your diff's become less dense and need some way of...
