    FM Radio Skipping

    This seems to only happen on HD stations, probably a slight glitche when processing the digital signal. I notice it every so often but doesn't bother me that much since I am used to it.

    Will it fit? : BFG T/A KO2 - SIZE: LT285/75R17

    No more pics with the TRD wheels, I may have some with my new wheels, which are fifteen52 turbomac HD classics, they are 8.5 with 0 offset. Look much better and still no rub, -10 should be fine.

    Front Diff Grinding/Groaning Cyclical Noise

    Yup, bail on that dealer an go elsewhere. They probably know Toyota warranty would come down on their ass and make them eat the labor costs if they started doing warranty related TSBs on your rig this late in the game. Find a new dealer, describe symptoms, mention TSB if needed.

    Front Diff Grinding/Groaning Cyclical Noise

    Honestly, if they're fighting you like that out the gate I would try another dealer if there's one reasonably close to you. I just mentioned symptoms only, even though I knew about the TSB and my service rep was the one who mentioned the TSB and warranty fix and jumped right on it. I also have...

    Front Diff Grinding/Groaning Cyclical Noise

    Agreed, mine seems much smoother with a lot less "slop" than before. Everything just feels tighter and much more solid.

    Front Diff Grinding/Groaning Cyclical Noise

    My service rep is a cool dude, they did a test drive and confirmed the noise is still there after the fresh diff. A master tech there has a lifted Tacoma and basically said that with any lift on these things theres a good change they will vibrate. Rep said his hands are tied from replacing it...

    Do I need a second battery?

    Unless you plan on it always being on, one battery will be just fine...and by always I mean even when your tuck is turned off.

    Front Diff Grinding/Groaning Cyclical Noise

    I did the same thing, got a new diff put in last week, although I'm actually bringing it back tomorrow to get it looked at because the sensation is still present, only it feels different now, a higher, tighter and faster vibration resonance that is actually more persistent than before. The...

    When is a lift too much?

    Will echo what everyone else mentioned about CV angles, in my personal opinion anything nearing the true 3" of lift mark is a bit too much. 2"-2.5" is IMO a great lift for these to hold onto whatever you can of "factoryish" ride and handling characteristics.
