^Fitting P/N 90404-51319 (shiny one on the right) 5/16" fuel line from the local auto parts store Eldon James C6-5BN nylon coupler: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017VNDDX4/ Uni Filter P/N UP-102: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OO0XL8/ I installed mine in the LH bed cubby, which was deleted in...

The manual transmission likely will disappear when the 3rd gen production ends. Using ATF in the 4x4 transfer case is new for Toyotas (starting with the 2022 Tundra). Previously the transfer cases all used gear oil. It's actually an improvement over the $50-a-can Toyota LF oil used in the 3rd...

The test mule has a Tundra body on the smaller Tacoma frame. Expect some tech sharing with the 2022 Tundra and with other Toyota models, which means electric parking brake, electric power steering (which makes lane tracing assist possible), transfer case that uses WS ATF, and likely a...

Due to working from home in 2020, I once changed the oil after 1300 miles, because it hit the 6-mo. calendar limit :D I don't drive my truck often, but when I do, I pin the engine 1200 rpm past redline...

^That milky residue builds up at the highest point in the engine (i.e. under the oil cap). The equivalent location in the front diff would be the roof of the clamshell, which isn't visible.

The only way for me to beat $54 DIY is buying oil at significant discount when they go on sale at Costco, Walmart, etc. I'm still using Mobil 1 0W-30 bought in 2020 :D

Frame rust if earlier years like 2011 or 2012 (look for fist-sized holes near the catalytic converters) Steering rack leak near the tie rod bellows Timing cover leak near the power steering pump (V6) Rotted out radiator support bushings Worn out wheel bearings Coolant leak near the firewall (V6)...

Maybe to get the front diff oil to operating temperature and evaporate moisture. You know that milky residue on the bottom of the oil cap when you don't drive long enough to let the engine oil heat up? There might be a similar thing with diff oil.

Drained the front diff and refilled with Castrol synthetic 75W-90. Installed Lexus drain plug with 14mm external hex P/N 90341-24016:

RCV axle shafts P/N CVJIFS-TOY2 came in 5 months after ordering. RCV axles don't include the outer dust seals and axle nuts that normally come with aftermarket CV axles. Outer dust seals are Toyota P/N 90304-A0001. Re-use your axle nuts or get Toyota P/N 90178-28002. While the LH axle is...

285/70R17 will require wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels with less offset. You'll also need to cut away fenderwell plastic. Depending on lift and UCA, a cab mount chop may be necessary.

265/70R17 or 255/80R17 if on stock wheel offset. 275/70R17 will typically fit, too, if you find that size for sale.

https://www.yokohamatire.com/tires/geolandar-a-t-g015 The Geolandar AT in size 265/65R17 comes in two SKUs. 110101525 is the standard load version, weighing 38 lb each. 110101678 is the E load version with 10 plies, weighing 47 lb each. You can ask the shop to order the standard load version...

Undo the plastic nuts and remove the plastic cover at the base of the steering column shaft where it enters the firewall. Examine the rag joint for slop:

They'll fit fine as others said. Ride quality may slightly worsen going from 16" to 17" wheels, due to the lower profile sidewall.

Installed a couple of the Dodge Sprinter D-rings P/N 5170492AA on the bed cubby bolts: Put my new emblem on the tailgate with 3M 03614C molding tape: My replacement LCAs didn't come with the anti-whistle hole plugs, so I had to order them separately, P/N 90950-01990. These have the...

So you're looking to buy a used 3rd gen Tacoma (2016+)? Only real issues to watch for are timing cover oil leaks, coolant crossover pipe leaks, and frame rust. The automatic tranmission is mechanically robust but is hobbled by crap shift logic from the factory. That can be addressed to a...
