I've had C-Load 265/70/17 K02s for 27,000mi with no issues whatsoever. Had them mounted and balanced at Big Brand Tire and didn't give them any special instructions. It went great and I've rotated them myself 3 times since, still without any issues. I think the amount of complaints you hear...

I finally found a welder who welded on the CURT safety chain loop for $25. He made it sound like it was a walk in the park for him. Without asking, he even removed all the rust and painted the hitch plate and added safety chain loop. The welder did add a surge protector device across the car's...

Thanks all. I appreciate all of your responses! I'll find a local welder and get it done. I'll try to remember to post the results here with pictures and costs.

I bought my 2015 SR5 Premium used and the trailer safety chain loops attached to the rear hitch/receiver were rusted/broken off when I bought it (see photo below). Is it possible to weld on a new safety chain loop (like this one: Raw Steel Weld-On Safety Chain Loop (10,000 lbs. Capacity) SKU...

Posting my experience in case others run into the same *non* issue. This post is a good display of my inexperience/stupidity and how much I tend to overthink things. Rather than take my car to the mechanic to have the pinion seal replaced, I cleaned off the oil on the outside of the diff...

Talked to a mechanic and showed him the photo I attached of the 3rd gen leak (that looks just like my 5th gen leak) and he gave me a preliminary diagnostic. He agrees it is likely a bad/damaged pinion seal and that he will just have to remove the driveshaft in the rear diff, as well as the yoke...

Thanks for the immediate feedback guys. Your insight is appreciated. If I am mindful of the diff fluid level, should I be OK to continue driving until I can get it looked at in a few weeks? I have new diff and t-case fluid ready to go with plan to drain and fill myself but maybe I'll hold off...

I have a 2015 SR5 Premium (~60,000 miles) and I am afraid my rear pinion seal is leaking. I crawled under the car for the first time in a while and noticed the forward side of the rear differential was wet with oil similar to the photo I found in the 3rd gen section and attached below. My leak...

The 30ish min wait wasn't intentional and was just the time between locking the car and finishing what I was doing at the time. I really should've tried it immediately after locking. :ybrick: If you end up testing it, please share the results! And thanks in advance!

I tested it as phillyd2 suggested. Left my window down, locked the car and waited 30+ min. With the car locked, reaching through the window and pressing the homelink button did NOT activate my garage opener. Next, I unlocked the car, reached in the window (without opening any doors), and tried...

If I install Bilstein 5100s with the front set at at 4.7" and the rear at 2.9" will 285s fit without rubbing? ...this forum has really gone downhill fast.

List prices, taxes, dealer fees and registration fees vary WILDLY from state to state and even county to county. I think there are too many variables and cost differences between forum members to determine if you are getting a good deal or not. It sounds like you have been doing to proper...

Stupidly, I slightly scratched the dash next to the plug from using an identical pry tool as the OP. The material on the dash is pretty soft and easy to scratch. I recommend putting something down next to the plug when you go to pry it off. I also noticed you have a 2015 Canadian SR5P...as do I...

Those look great! Thanks for posting. I've had my eye on those blacked out tail lights for a few months now but was waiting to see them installed. I like how they black out the chrome but keep the turn signal clear. Your photos may have just pushed me over the edge!

You're the best! "...476" is indeed my order. Sorry for not including the order # in my previous post. I really appreciate your confirmation! And a huge thanks for using your personal time to help us worry less about our orders! It is truly appreciated.
