What Transmission fluid type am I supposed to buy, I was hoping the closest thing to the protection offered by genuine Toyota, without the genuine Toyota price. What fluid type would that be, Dexron 2,3 Mercon..? (Edit: AutoZone’s website shows Dexron VI (6) or Mercon V (5) or just generic ATF? Are these acceptable? Which one provides the best protection and performance out of the three?)

I recently tried the seat jackers from Desert Does It, but my 5'10"-of-a-body legs felt like they were too tall. One about half thickness might work. However, Desert Does It mentioned that the angles required for the bolts limits their ability to build a shorter seat jacker which makes perfect sense. They took the product back no questions asked. I think it's a great, well built product, just didn't fit for me.

Where do you stand on the transfer case oil? Can of freshly squeezed diamond juice aka OEM 75w LF or substitute Ravenol 75W or Redline MT-LV? Thanks for sharing 👊

I dont have a 4x4 , do i need to do the front diff change?

I'm here because my tacoma 2013 off road has 267,000km

i love this channel so much, its unhealthy lol

are the crush washers/gaskets brass or steel? in @InfoSponge 's video, the T case gaskets are brass. yours look like they're steel

Question why would you not take a hacksaw and shorten the length of treads going up into the oil pan. Wouldn't that reduce the amount of oil left in the pan

Plastic razor blades work great for removing adhesive on paints. Razor blades in plastic do exist, a next-door mechanic introduced me to them.

Happy with the sound from my cold air intake, especially up higher in the rev range. The Toyota v6 sounds like trash with an exhaust so in my option the only way to get a slightly better sound is the an intake. Do I expect any performance upgrades from it? God no, and anyone that believe it will get them performance doesn't understand how modern vehicle's work Also as you said you have just moved to the rust belt I'm not sure how many snowstorms you have driven through. As far as headlights go the good thing about Halogen is that they give off just enough heat to usually keep your light clear, iv noticed a lot the LED lights get covered quickly

Can you do a video on a seat upgrade

I like to do this job every 50-60k and I usually go one step further than just a drain and fill, I usually put water and a flush, like blue devil, and then open the thermostat and get it to flush through the whole system.

Question, so you need a 1/2” drive ratchet but a 3/8” torque wrench? This is my first diy and I’m confused why the ratchet and wrench sizes would be different?

you asked how I mount my phone. Hondo Garage phone mount. From Tacoma lifestyle. It fasten into the top of my vent closest to driver side door. You can almost close the vent fully, but not fully closed only disadvantage. The construction is immensely solid made from high-quality plastic in the ram components and the rest of it is constructed out of aluminum.. Phone sets in securely and its position and height is perfect. Doesn’t draw your eyes away from the road doesn’t block any visibility as I line it up with the door and windshield column. It’s over by the driver side, so no one else can be messing with your phone either. Nice comfortable height for using Google maps. It works extremely well off-road as the entire system is solid as a rock.. that’s the system I’m currently using.

Do you have an installation and product video on the oil catch can? Just finished watching your PVC valve replacement video and thought of an oil catch can.

Good video , great knowledge Maybe next time don’t drink while doing a video. We get to hear you swallow after every drink. 2x the vid. Problem solved . Just a piece of constructive criticism. 🤘🏻

Holy cow! I can change my oil now every 3K because it's easy. Decided to keep my Tacoma as long as I can. Paired with my Fumoto drain valve. It's such a walk in the park.

I think no matter how well you maintain the 4th gen, it's gonna break down before 100k miles. Not shit talking, just going by all the turbo'd engine I own and the hell I've gone through with them.

Hi beautiful tacoma no doubt. where do you get the bed cover from thanks in advance dean

Of note: Amazon just dropped the price on the wheel from $225 to $180 for Prime members...."Black Friday" stuff (though it's not black Friday ;) )

Nice install! Any info on the heated version? Always wanted a heated wheel

I dislike the lack of drum brakes, hydraulic power steering, etc. they stopped this because it’s more expensive to make mechanical items. We are we paying higher prices of its cheaper to build these? I hate 4th generation

Awesome video! Im going from a 2010 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 crewcab to a '24 Tacoma 4x4 crewcab soon. Great tutorial and products to prevent splashes and spills. Thanks for sharing! 👍

Just hope it had a timing chain to then it's perfect

Shit Sam got 400k now !!!

I wish I had a video this well done for all of my DIY maintenance tasks! Question: since most of the fluid is held in the torque converter, is this just a way to get some fresh fluid into the transmission?

Picture quality is very good, and I as well like the small size. Easy to setup.

Owned a 2nd gen Tacoma and I loved it. I was excited to trade "up" into a nicer trim level 3rd gen. I've never been so disappointed. Regrets

thank you for this video, about to do a whole refresh on my tacoma i just bought

Great channel and tutorial Is this the same process for a manual trans 3rd gen?

So I find something about this deceptive. Either you just bought this toy truck as a content generator or you work for Toyota or you just don't mind blowing your money. You say you already have a third gen, what would be the point of buying another midsize Tacoma for over 50k than blow a bunch more on all those mods? The things you like about the new generation are.. lighter tailgate material and lane keep assistance 😅???? What exactly do you do with these trucks? Go to the local Starbucks and grab a latte? For the price you spent you could have had an actual truck since you already have a 3rd gen rack. Not really making sense son. Imo I've had all these trucks as well as this 4th gen. The 4th is just flashier and a bit more comfortable. The build quality is garbage. That light hood is trash as well as the doors. All electric dash push start crap. The truck does rattle and creak regardless of what you say. If you shut the door hard enough the whole truck starts to sway and bob. Obviously the Toyota family changed hands and they stream lined this new model into basically a rav 4 on a truck frame. Will it last? Possibly. I won't be keeping mine past 80k miles they can have it . I'm sure I'll take a huge loss as well on trade in. Last gen was the last time you'll see a true truck Tacoma. Just because a truck looks cutier or is more teched up doesn't make it a better truck. We are living in the last days of true American muscle, choose wisely folks , these are the last days of true automotives

Toyota can suck it, their new cars have way too many issues starting with build quality and the fucking thing was built in Japan.

Sumo spring are awesome! I only drop an inch at max load with the black set.

You’re the kind of guy I would buy a used vehicle from. You don’t beat on them.

Awesome

great color choice

At how miles you recommend doing this.

how do you feel about car care nut saying oil should be changed every 3 months regardless of mileage to be as reliable as an NA engine? That's what does it for me for any turbo vehicle.

I maintained my Subaru wrx sti up to 150k bfore a preventable Subaru sickness that I have ignored finally bit me in the butt.. being a 4 banger turbo I see alot of similarities with these 4th gen that I happily love owning everyday taco sport premium. It puts a smile on me when I can change the oil without lifting the car up and don’t get me started about acces to the damn spark plugs. Anyways sir appreciate the video. I wanted a bronze oxide but I couldn’t wait 2 months for a delivery so I ended up with a blue crush..

Im sorry the music and sound effects just ruin this video holy

Folks dont want to admit it, but once the bugs are worked out the 4thgen is just a better truck in every way. Most old gen folks dont want to admit it but most would do the upgrade if they were handed the cash to do so. I say this as a 3rd gen owner who will do the same in a few years 😅

Beautiful truck. Love the long bed. When they sort out the new engine bugs the Tacoma will be a great choice.

Great video . Man you have much DeWalt tools

I belive if you are in ECO mode it will cut the climate control fan back at times and maybe that is what you are experiencing.

Thank u for all ur valuable information. Its helped me a ton🤙

Thanks for another great video

Great video ,,, big help ,,,,also the 80's porn music was a nice touch

Just starting to do my diy maintenance on my taco, are these replacement washers available at the parts dept of any toyota dealerships?

3rd gen owners are the most vocal about 4th gen disdain. 3rd gen is literally worst gen.

Could u do a video on a 3rd gen tacoma off road?
