I'm forbidden to the look at the What did you do with your 5th Gen thread also.

$95 for full service at a family run lube shop. That includes greasing the Zerks on the drive shafts.

Why do you run in 2WD in snow? Engage the front end and move on. I've run all my rigs at highway speeds in 4-HI over pavement in the snow for decades without a single driveline failure.

'18 SR5, stock. I run stock size BFG KO2s, load range E. I live on a dirt road, lots of dirt roads in the rural area I live. I live with sharp gravel, dust, mud, snow, ice. And I don't like flat tires. I also have plenty of Class IV trails nearby that I travel during upland game season. A...

I have an '18 and the window seems reluctant and slow to open or close on the few times I use it. I chock it up to lack of use, maybe two or three times annually.

A decade old thread. OK, I'll bite. I have six 35 and 45 gallon plastic trash cans w/hinged lids for house waste behind my shed in an enclosure. When they're full (takes about two weeks to fill them) I hook up my 6' open box trailer (ex U-Haul bought at an auction in the 1980s) and haul them to...

Mice are industrious in that they will carry off one larger thing at a time and return as often as necessary until they have all that they want all through the night or whenever they feel safe to conduct their raids. And mice can and will squeeze through incredibly tiny spaces if they are...

This site has started acting up in the past couple weeks in that it will not respond to my back button, which I use while using the New Posts feature instead of doing a new post search after reading each one that catches my interest. Worse yet, if I edit one of my posts, it won't let me save my...

I love my '18 T4R SR5, my first T4R. Previous I've owned but two other Toyota vehicles, a '02 Tacoma TRD Off Road and a '03 Camry. I off roaded the Tacoma greatly, not so much with the T4R. I'm getting old. I'm not a fan of the Tundra, though I did like the 1st generation. Though hard to find a...

Going on memory here, long time ago. I had a 2002 Tacoma TRD Off Road, purchased new. Around 2007, with around 105,000 miles, I had the 90,000 belt replacement done by the dealer I purchased the truck from. Being proactive, I also had the dealer replace the water pump, hoses, thermostat and...

The outer tire slides around turns. The granular granitic and alluvial soils of the Great Basin, Death Valley and the eastern Sierra Nevada is akin to tiny ball bearings and has little resistance to sliding. Tire wear was never a problem, other than the usual slicing and dicing of off road use...

One reason I always engage 4WD once off pavement and engaged my rear locker when on the trail. Another reason is that I'd rather not get stuck in the first place. I've never had any mechanical issues with transfer cases nor the rear lockers.

When I purchased my '18, after my free oil changes expired, I started taking it to my small town, family owned lube shop. They swapped out the original plastic filter housing for a metal one themselves, no charge. He kept a small supply of them due to occasional failure upon tightening. My '02...

Request Rejected Link is a search on LKQ's website with available engines for your rig and their source location. LKQ is a nationwide company and parts are warrantied. You can buy direct or through your local parts store, though with a markup if bought from a 3rd party.

Opening all windows when dropping the tailgate window on my '18 allows enough airflow out the back that I don't detect exhaust fumes entering into the cabin. And with all windows down, on a nice spring or autumn day or evening, it's a quite pleasant ride through the country side with minimal...
