My stock battery was dead as a door nail in 1.5 years. Live in the Midwest. No abnormal usage.

2018 ORP 55k miles. Mine cycles very frequently too since new. Maybe every 5-10 seconds at idle. It’s actually pretty annoying if the radio isn’t on because I notice it. I can’t say it does it with the AC off. But when it’s on it absolutely cycles like this. If you’ve had it checked out, I...

I liked the stance I got from my 1.25” spacers. Installed them myself so had no safety concerns but would be nervous taking it to shop that doesn’t see them much. Only dislike: they made the suspension “heavy”. You wouldn’t think they’d hardly make any difference but man, I felt every single...

I also have this exact same issue. Only started happening about 2k miles ago. Before that was perfect. I have Dobonson’s coilovers and JBA std high caster UCAs. Same thing. Only hear it when moving slow, turning, and generally when the car is cold. I DID notice that I only get it to clunk when...

Check that your parking brake is not depressed. Also make sure the rear tires aren’t dragging too much from the parking brake by lifting the rear of the truck. A slight amount of drag is normal. If it’s difficult to turn the rear wheels by hand when elevated then that’s too much drag. Just a...

Agreed, they’re definitely tight. I had to have a friend use a 2 foot pry bar to spread the wings of my JBA UCAs apart while I inserted the 4th washer. Not easy. But... we’re just average dudes and we got it right. This is really bad. Sorry you have to deal with this. Probably only the bushings...

I have this exact issue too. I have also done the h9 swap but have a pretty new odyssey group 34r with a voltage booster. So my alternator voltage is plenty high. Voltage doesn’t seem to be the issue. I don’t remember having this issue with stock configuration but I can’t say for sure it wasn’t...

I bought a brand new 2018 ORP. I can’t leave it set for more than 48 hours else the battery is 100% dead. I had to replace my Stock Panasonic battery inside of two years. Usually people get 4-6 years out of them. I have no electrical mods, never been in an accident, don’t abuse it, etc. I...

Mine has had this noise since I bought it with 3 miles on the odo. Granted, mine is much less pronounced. I only hear it at higher RPMs such as when I’m on an on ramp. 18 TRD ORP. I’m not concerned about it but it is a little annoying. The 1GR is not a quiet engine.

2018 TRD ORP with KDSS. Smooth as silk factory, and smooth as silk post-lift with stock wheels and tires. However, I do get pretty decent steering wheel vibration at highway speed with aftermarket wheels and tires. 275/70R17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W and Method Roost wheels. Vibration mostly goes...

Mine totally does this too. I place it all the way at the bottom and after a while I notice it has raised itself back up to the first notch. It's only 1-1.5 inches but that's all it takes to be annoying for me. As mentioned above, there is no notch at the very bottom though which is why I...

I also would love to hear about how this worked out in the end. I have routed the rear diff breather and e-locker breather into the engine compartment using the ARB kit. I'm curious if the front diff needs a free-flowing breather or not. I thought that the whole point of a diff breather was...

I have a 2018 TRD ORP I bought in October of 2017. Seat cover has come off twice now. Can't believe they haven't fixed this yet. Making an appointment with the dealer today. Glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue. I bought the interior protection plan, so I hope they are willing...

I used a single rattle can of fluid film in the fall and was impressed with the results. You can see in the attached pic that the areas that I sprayed had very little road salt stick to them, whereas the areas that I didn't spray appear white from all of the salt. As of this spring, there is no...

I get it. I picked up an 18 TRD ORP a few months back and drove it from Missouri to Miami and back with 4 people (including myself) and a mostly full cargo area. No trailer. Stock everything. It really struggled even on flat highway. It would downshift into 3rd at the drop of a hat. I had...
