    American Racing ar172 16x8 do not fit

    No it’s a different model wheel, although they are both made by American racing. The wheels in the first post are the same exact dimensions but different model. The wheels in the first post had a lip on the inner side of the wheel which did not clear the caliber. Guys at discount tire in...

    American Racing ar172 16x8 do not fit

    Just got a call from discount, they installed the rims and took them off because they rub the calipers. I have a 2016 sr5 RWD. Just a heads up for anyone buying these 16x8 0 offset 4.5 backspacing wheels; they will not fit third generation tacomas. Hopefully someone sees this and learns and...

    Lubricate propeller shaft interval

    Common sense for you guys, I wouldn’t have wiped it off honestly until I read that lol. I have a lot to catch up on lubrication and torque spec wise.

    Lubricate propeller shaft interval

    Can I over lubricate? I did some googling and said 4 pumps; but if it was done 1k miles ago and I put 4 pumps would that mess up the pressure or throw anything off?

    Lubricate propeller shaft interval

    purusing my owners manual and looking at other threads. How often should this be done? And is it possible to over lubricate it? I’m the second owner of this truck and I’m not sure the last time it was lubricated. And it seems like an easy DIY

    Shock replacement interval or failure?

    Not yet, I’ll check it myself or per their recommendation. I should be ok for a while bc the most non pavement driving I do at this point is a 1.5 mile unpaved road to and from work

    Shock replacement interval or failure?

    About the “ho on coke test”? They said they didn’t have the proper equipment to perform the test. Nor would they take my word and cited that it would be an issue that the technician would have to replicate in person with the proper equipment.

    Possible caliper issues

    Thanks man; the amount of reassurance I need when it comes to aftermarket truck parts I’m sure will dwindle with mileage and ownership.

    Possible caliper issues

    will these wheels fit a stock 2016 sr5? https://www.amazon.com/American-Racing-Custom-Wheels-5x127mm/dp/B00R93W4WS?th=1&psc=1 I found a thread where someone put 16x8’s 0 offset and 4.5 backspacing on a 2015 and there were brake caliper issues.

    Shock replacement interval or failure?

    No. I just spoke with a service advisor apparently it’s just called a “bounce test”. To save anyone the hassle of asking for the wrong test when you call the Toyota service center.

    Shock replacement interval or failure?

    Thank you. I will call my local Toyota dealership to schedule a bouncing like a ho on coke test and possibly a quote for a set of shocks.

    Shock replacement interval or failure?

    are shocks the type of part that need to be replaced regularly at a specific mileage interval? Or only when they fail? I want to maintain my truck with stock suspension but cost is also an issue. Thanks

    TRD Oil Filter

    How do you wash and re-oil these things? Where do I get the oil and cleaner? I’m considering buying one for the long haul.
