Echoing others - I drained the fluid in the pain, dropped it, and cleaned the magnets at ~ 55k miles. The magnets on mine were fairly dirty so I was glad I took the time to get to them. As a word of caution, the torque spec for the pan is in INCH pounds.

2017 TRD Off Road - Cloth seats (I hate leather) - Factory lockers/ATRAC - 4WD with shifter lever (no knob) I wanted a white TRD Pro, so I just ended up making my own without the softex/leather.

Another vote for FJ Toyman - super easy install, simple design, and stout. No reason to go for another option in my view.

PM Replied.

Looking to replace a damaged sunroof visor on our '99 limited. I'm needing the OEM toyota piece that mounts with brackets - color/tint not important. Would need to be shipped to 79424. Please PM me if you have one you're willing to sell.

C4 owner here with no complaints. I've seem some members experiencing rust with the steel ladders in salty climates. C4, Victory, or Westcott are aluminum (I believe) and should be less prone to that issue.

My SSO rack is extremely close to the roof. I park under a 4 post lift in my garage and can juuuuuust fit with it installed. It sits just a hair over the top of the existing shark fin antenna on the roof. I'll try to pull down a more accurate measurement next time I'm out there. For what it's...

$4.19/ea at Olathe Toyota per my order last night.

Mobil 1 for me. I run a 5k oil change interval as I just can't get comfortable going the full 10k. All of my used oil analysis reports have come back squeaky clean so far. No need to replace a drain plug unless it's damaged/stripped - just use a fresh OEM crush washer. I do use the OEM toyota...

Oddly enough, I tried the nanoskin autoscrub on my DA and ended up going back to the regular clay bar. I found it helps me get a better feel for which areas need more attention and which polishes I'm likely to need on each panel.

Strangely enough, I actually use mine all the time. I park under a 4-post lift and use it to climb up to access the top car on the lift when it's up (strange usage I know). Otherwise, it makes rinsing off the roof of the truck much easier.

Just finished ceramic coating my 2017 super white last weekend. I've owned the car since new and it's only ever seen two-bucket hand washes, but I still spent about 3 evenings with a DA polisher to get the paint ready for the coating. My process was to wash the car with an iron remover, full...

Can confirm - the bottom plate isn't really a step on the C4 ladder. I guess you could use it as one, but I personally never have due to the thin metal in the area. In looking at your other thread, it looks like the Westcott doesn't "taper" as much on the top portion of the hatch. The C4 on...

Throwing in another option out there - Spotter Mirrors. Just installed a set and so far they seem pretty slick. The smaller independently adjustable portion is on the bottom instead of the top like the Rav4 mirrors. They come prewired for the heater elements as well.

I have two Viofo A129's and a Blackvue d590x. For ease of use I vastly prefer the Viofo units. The Blackvue seems like a fine camera, but the app to view anything is a royal pain. The Viofo cameras have a built in screen that makes using them much easier.
