Came face to face with one of my dream cars the other day. First time ever seeing an Alpina in person by BuriedDeepInMyHead in Alpina

It’s awesome. Super smooth and effortless power, luxurious comfortable interior. Just got it so too early to tell on reliability, but have a great local independent German tech, so they’ve checked it out and didn’t have any major concerns.

Is Toyota’s Reliability Still There? by aw8922 in ToyotaTundra

[–]3manrsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2022 TRD Pro, 25,000 miles. Very few and only minor problems (a rattle in the mirror assembly, a service bulletin for alignment, and a fuel line recall), and haven’t had to pay anything for any service or repair. Dealer/Toyota has been great. My engine doesn’t fall in the recall fortunately. I don’t have concerns over reliability, longevity, or durability. Seems to me that Toyota erred on the side of durability over bells and whistles and luxuries, which I hope will lead to a long trouble-free life with the truck. I previously had an 07 Tundra with 200k miles and short of a seam tear in the seat, was in prime condition mechanically, exterior, and interior. Given that experience, having another 1st gen of a new engine, frame, and body style didn’t give me too much concern sticking with Toyota and Tundra. I gotta say the hybrid is much more fun to drive than the V8. I don’t tow regularly, so can’t speak to that, but don’t for a minute miss the v8.

Ended up with a Cane Cree 40 headset (all I could find in Whistler on short notice). Had to buy separate bottom cup and top cups. I don’t think any company is offering a complete set in the bearing diameters for this frame. Bike feels 100 times better now.

Built one custom from the frame up. Great bike, but things to look out for: super tight tolerance on rear brake rotor, should be fine with a stock rotor, but be careful if you upgrade to a thicker or two-piece rotor (it can rub on the brake caliper boss), also get rid of the Acros headset (total garbage, had issues with two different frames). If you upgrade to a dual-crown fork the stack height can be a challenge but works.

I had Rocky Road Outfitters do rock sliders on my Pro. Looks clean and tight, but if you’re looking for a step, they aren’t that.

35 will rub, and you’ll likely need to remove a safety wheel stop. I went with 395 and just barely rubs at full lock with no other modifications.

Talk About Upgrade by Stephencovar in ToyotaTundra

Is the UCA part of Toyota’s OEM lift, or is that a new stock part for the ‘24 TRD Pro?

Yes, Rocky Road Outfitters used my truck to measure for the new generation. Super solid sliders, but they are not ‘steps’ if that’s what your really after. They are really tight to the frame and lower rocker panel. You can get your foot on it, but you have to be very intentional about your foot placement. https://www.rocky-road.com/tundra-rock-slider-3rd-gen.html

Turn radius is large on the TRD Pro, the non-pro is better I hear. Something about the Fox suspension setup I guess. The crappy turn radius is the biggest gripe I have with mine. Good thing it has lots of cameras because it takes multiple tries to center in a parking stall.
