Totally understand not wanting to deal with real AT issues if your use case allows less aggressive, less durable tires. But if your plan to use it offroad that just isn't an option and the KO2's are an awesome choice. Mine have been deal steady no vibe or rebalance since installed 25k ago, just...

Any updates on the MTM camera issues or updates? Best retrofits or fixes??

First, huge thanks to you for all your time and effort to post all this info and help people with their installs. :bravo: It seems the additional complexity of a bypass cooler (having a mechanical valve) is a completely unnecessary potential failure point since the trans regulates it's own temp...

You've never changed any of the cars fluids in 135K? Lol, little late to start worrying now, roll the dice!

I'm conflicted. On one hand I feel the 4R's trans is already properly cooled for Toyotas specified max tow weight of 5k lbs, I shouldn't need a cooler, especially if I'm only towing 60% of the max. Also the addition of a cooler, lines etc marginally lessen the reliability of the vehicle simply...

I went to order mine today and it appears the B&M 70268 or 70264 are no longer made. What would the next best option be?

Any flat tow updates yet? My 2023 doesn't appear to have a steering lock at all so that's good. There is a easy disconnecting rear driveshaft that would solve the other issue. One guy on youtube is leaving his case in 2H and trans in N, others have said case N and trans P with the driveshaft...

Yup, that's a good one, I've had one for...a long time.

Did you leave it so they could find it? Don't ever settle for "We don't know." Demand a rental, tell them you guys keep it till this is fixed, get the SM involved. Just say, "My new 60k truck is making a totally unacceptable knock noise, YOUR job is to find and repair it...call me when it's...

These "accidents" are far more common than most know, about 2 times a week at the dealership I worked for. Always with the lube techs but not just at dealerships, any fast lube/Walmart or tire shop that lets inexperienced people learn on your car can have issues. The best defense is doing it...

I'd bet they pulled their LED bulbs and you just have empty sockets. The OEM bulbs are absolute crap anyway so no big loss. You can probably just buy/install the correct LED bulbs and be good to go. I have used VLED, good but they don't have the pointy ends to engage the socket clips on the dome...

My experience was a bit different, I got the Cali with plates and bump outs because I like the idea of the mount brackets wrapping under the frame, just seems stronger to me. Mine do flex a little when jacking though, not enough to hurt anything maybe 1/4-3/8". The front bracket on the left side...

Too funny! I'm a long time subscriber and fan of CR, they and all the other syndicated reviews I've seen have been very unflattering. How they must have hated revealing those stats! :zoom:

That's the kit I used, no UCA needed. I wanted to stay with 265 but have plenty of room. Easy install no spring compressor needed either, caster will be a bit lower but drives perfect.

Not sure I understand why the little oil change door is such a bonus over the stock trd plate. I think it's 4 fasteners (bolts) either way and a few more pounds for the whole skid, just not a big deal to do every 6 months or so. Same for the stud mod, I guess if you're taking it off every...
