    Did a toyota dealer say this for new cars? If so, Did they adjust the price for the cost of a new fob? They’re not exactly cheap. Sounds like BS!

    Can confirm, this is happening with Lexus. No adjustment on the price, they will provide the second fob within a month or so.

    Ah ok….as long as they make you whole, it’s understandable. A little surprising though…I guess that really says supply chain issues are still a big issue.

    I have a co-worker that was at Ford the other day getting maintenance, so he was browsing the lot and said he saw window stickers with features crossed out like heated seats and things. Asked a salesman and he said they couldn't get chips for the features. WILD stuff

    Got my dobinsons lift installed yesterday. I was only looking for a mild lift, so I opted for the C59-296 Front, C59-599 Rears and the IMS shocks and also added their UCA

    Looks good! How much of a lift did you get so far?

    I don’t normally post negative stuff on items I purchase but I felt it is needed in this case. The OEM switches sold by Cali Raised are not a very good product when it comes to fit, I have one for the behind the grill light bars and I purchased one for the Ditch Lights. I had to put tape to add backing to prevent the switch from setting to deep in the slot. So if you’re looking for an OEM switch maybe try the Air on Board switches it’s possible those will work better. I know they’re only $15 bucks each but I thought I should make you guys aware in case you’re expecting a perfect fit.

    Got them off Methods web site. They are under accessories. They were on back order but I believe they are back in stock.

    I mean did you call King shocks and talk to them about your rig? Theyre pretty good about reasoning this out with customers. Or if you want something truly custom, try @AccuTune Offroad

    so the stock measurements from the middle of the hub to the fender was 20 inches on the front and 21.5 on the back. After the lift the fronts are at 22 and the rear is sitting around 23.25 (driver side) and 23.5 on the passenger side (I have a full tank of gas and a sub on the drivers side) The springs are likely to settle a bit

    Nice. After settling, I’d like to end up with 1.5-2” and would likely go with the medium springs all around. I’ll be interesting to see where yours settles at.

    Dropped in a rear cargo mat, YitaMotor (eBay/Amazon special). The fitment is great, and the price was right, and it doesn't smell like Harbor Freight!

    hahaha. The china freight smell on plastics is real! Sometimes it’s really unbearable. Although on my latest visit to harbor freight, the cheap unrefined plastic smell in the air seems to be less severe.

    Pump gas before the crazy weather tomorrow and this is the first mpg check after 285s. (Fit 285 -> pump full tank of gas -> Reset trip & avg mpg (refuel mpg reset automatically i guess) -> Pump full tank of gas again after 270 miles.
    This was city only driving. Just groceries, doctor visits & pain full long wait school runs..:p
    Instrument cluster seems more accurate with 285s when it comes to speed and mpg than stock 265s.

    Nice setup. I also have the same DD grill lights and fogs. How do you like the DD ditch lights? They might be on my list for next lighting upgrade.

    This thread says it all about AOB switches vs the rest.

    The lights are very bright for being small. hope to use them soon in a situation where I really need them. I like the low profile brackets. Yeah I saw that thread after I ordered the Cali Raised switch. I might just order some from AOB and replace. They’re fairly easy to install.

    I called toyota as the dealer does not give you anything on a we owe form. Toyota customer support did confirm that they are short on fobs and will be sending me one when they get it. They looked up my Vin and confirmed that the dealer was telling the truth. Once the fob comes in, I have to go to toyota for them to program it in.

    New around here, mostly hang out on TW. We bought the wife a 2021 TRD off-road to complement my 2019 Tacoma.

    Today I put a redarc brake controller, a set of husky mats, and a new set of stock size K02’s. Plan to use the 4R to pull our camper to TN the day after Christmas.

    Today is the 1st day of winter and storm coming this weekend,so tested out my 4 hi and 4 lo ...just to be ready for winter. then I lubed my shifter linkage as it felt tight and hard to shift. WD40 worked great! (thinking white lithium grease would last longer next time?)

    I think since the tires like Toyo OC AT3, Cooper Discoverer AT34S are relatively light weight tires could get little mpg advantage.

    Coopers (one of the lightest) -

    Looks great! What made you decide to upgrade the UCAs? Getting the Westcott lift installed on my '22 Pro in a couple weeks and I keep going back and forth on upgrading to Dobinsons UCAs or keeping factory UCAs... Westcott says upgrading isn't necessary, local overland shop is recommending I get the Dobinsons. I'm pretty OCD about this stuff so just want to make sure I get it done right. Never going to do major rock crawling in this thing, mostly just casual overlanding / camping. I'll keep the factory Nitto 265's for a while and then likely swap out to Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 275/70/17 later.
