    I have the Fumoto valve and it’s amazing. I just ordered this to help with draining the filter. https://a.co/d/aQtz7z4

    My issue wasn't installing the plastic cap, but I did 2 oil changes using them and it took me way to much time both changes getting that damn plastic cap removed so I could put my filter wrench on the filter. Like, comically funny. Those threaded drain hoses are soo nice. I just hand tighten and it doesn't leak and comes off with no effort.

    Just make sure you have it closed when you thread it in :anonymous:

    Mine was open from cleaning it and I didn't even check when I threaded it into the filter housing. Slight mess was made hahaha

    Ya I too had an issue removing the plastic drain cap thing. Had to use pliers and ended up snapping it into several pieces haha. Thanks for the tip.

    yeah i get you.. its small enough that you can put it anywhere. but i choose there because i was going to put a radar detector there but wasnt sure which..
    if you get it, let me know where you put it.. i will say this, that with the dash plate i have. It keeps the counter sunk look so things arent as high or tall as you may think.
    i have seen some other dash plates and they are level with the dash so anything you add is even taller / higher but with this plate its not the case.

    I run RAS with the TRD rear sway. No issues, still have articulation and on road she handles like she is on rails. Run it for a bit and see how you like it.

    Stock, with a few cosmetic mods.
    Since most of the leaves have fallen here on LI, NY I just thought I’d check out that d/s fender rubber flap that seems to hold leaves, dirt, and other rot inducing material. Damn, there was tons of crap in there! First time I’ve ever done this, and I doubt the original owner had either. Anyway, here’s a few pics. As mentioned in a thread about this issue, the p/s had nothing. I flushed that out with the hose as well since I was there.

    Hi everyone. My wife’s uncle recently passed away so I have been trusted and blessed to take care of his 2017 Tundra 4x4 1794 Edition. I already love this truck for many reasons, tangible and intangible. However, it needs some TLC.

    Included are a few pictures and a minor to-do list. Please feel free to offer any ideas/suggestions. Thanks.

    • Repair damage on left side.
    • Sell/Trade MX camper shell, replace with V series.
    • Wireless charging center console.
    • 1.75” Level Kit
    • 285/55/20 tires (thinking Nitto Ridge Grapplers).
    • 20x9 Ultra Hunter wheels.

    I removed the shields just for that fact. I noticed no more or less road noise without that retarded shield.

    It makes cleaning that area a breeze.

    Ignore the tpms light. Temp swings around here have it acting up.

    I'm planning on doing my own install of (pre-assembled, 3rd notch) 6112/5160's this weekend. Any tips?
    I'm running a TRD front swaybar, do I have to dump that or will it still work?
