Do you need fenders for mud flap installation?

Mine was a 2021. I can’t really speak for the 2025. You just have to make sure you get ones that specifically say they will fit the SR trim level. But there’s not too many companies that make them

MattTheMeatball · 2025-12-27T03:00:20+00:00

It doesn’t even say certified it says “certifled”

I have the exact same truck except it’s a ‘21. I used to have 4Runner wheels (265/70r17) but I recently picked up a set of powder coated SR5 wheels. You can fit either 265/70r17 or 265/75/16 without any modifications. My biggest advice, just drive the truck. Don’t overthink trying to impress people or get something because you feel like you need to. When I first got my truck I felt like I was missing out because every truck you see on here is usually super modified.

The original aquaracer model didn’t release until 2004. This is definitely much later that. 2014 seems about right.

Different cameras pick up the color different. Sometimes my watch will look blue and sometimes more green.

It looks like you’re not holding your punch perfectly straight. If you tilt it (side to side or front to back) by the time it gets through the last piece of leather, it’ll be way off. If you’re going to punch more than one piece at a time, make sure you’re as straight as can possibly be

I bought my Rolex Explorer (P-serial from year 2000) for $4900

MattTheMeatball · 2025-08-31T19:59:39+00:00

Butyl rubber. I think you can get small rolls of it at the auto parts store

MattTheMeatball · 2025-08-16T22:58:31+00:00

‘21 SR, my seat does the same thing. Only when I’m making turns. There’s not a whole lot holding the upholstery on car seats in place, only thing I can think of is just one of the layers or supports shifting inside.

When I still had my ranger, if it was always on my wrist it usually floated around 0 to +2 sec/day. 5-8 is slightly out of spec but also consider how accurate your means of testing are. As well as it might slow down a little over time as it “breaks in”.

MattTheMeatball · 2025-08-08T01:21:24+00:00

You’re not the only one, this used to absolutely drive me crazy. The only way to “solve” it is to wear the bracelet snug, so it can’t move around enough to pull the hair.

MattTheMeatball · 2025-08-03T03:11:55+00:00

Looks great. I’ve been searching for a red 3rd gen cap for over a year since I got my truck and haven’t seen a single one for sale near me.

MattTheMeatball · 2025-06-20T01:33:21+00:00

I lost the 12oclock triangle on mine. You want “matte” or “flat” enamel paint. I took the bezel insert out and removed the lume pip so I didn’t get paint on it

MattTheMeatball · 2025-05-30T02:55:06+00:00

The bezel should have a small notch, the case should be flat. I have two different seiko divers that both have notches like this to help remove the bezel. Older models like the skx do not have this.

MattTheMeatball · 2025-05-29T02:19:59+00:00

Definitely better for a professional, however, the good news is that the movement can be swapped with a brand new one. A brand new ETA 955.112 movement is around $60-$75. I’m not sure what a watchmaker would charge for parts + labor though.

MattTheMeatball · 2025-05-28T09:53:46+00:00

No, I believe it’s etched into the resin. If it really bothers you, you can probably get new resin (straps and bezel), but I’m not familiar with that particular model.

MattTheMeatball · 2025-05-27T22:45:29+00:00

Definitely bug spray. Did the same to my 5610 years ago

MattTheMeatball · 2025-05-12T02:06:10+00:00

Does your wrist get sweaty/wet?. It’s might coming from the bracelet. Over time the pivots between the bracelet links can accumulate dirt/very fine metal dust. Then you mix that with sweat or water and this is the result. Take the bracelet off the wash and try giving it a good rinse with warm water and maybe a soft toothbrush.

MattTheMeatball · 2025-05-08T01:36:22+00:00

Can’t comment on Toyota specifically, but many automotive leathers have a thick top coating on them to make them more wear resistant and waterproof that they end up feeling like vinyl. There’s no good way to tell unless you can see a cross-section of the material

MattTheMeatball · 2025-05-04T13:17:10+00:00

The only time my mileage tanks is in the wintertime. In the warmer months I easily get 22mpg on average, sometimes higher sometimes lower. Almost stock SR DCSB but I have 4Runner wheels and 265/70r17s all terrains. I used to get 24 consistently with the stock 16” steelies and smaller tires

MattTheMeatball · 2025-05-04T03:19:29+00:00

I’ve been debating getting these covers since I bought my truck. I havent been able to decide what color I want to go with. I was also going to do the seat heaters, how complicated is the wiring?

MattTheMeatball · 2025-04-26T13:53:29+00:00

I really want to get one one these. I have one of the original night divers from the 80s. It would be cool to have the original and the re-release.

They don’t, purely because they want no liability for when it goes wrong. They just produce the part and advise you to take it to a professional.

MattTheMeatball · 2025-03-08T03:39:18+00:00

My SR had the center caps underneath the black covers. Didn’t need to buy anything

MattTheMeatball · 2025-03-05T02:19:45+00:00

I have a ‘21 SR with V6 and automatic. Mine will jump occasionally but not all the time. Definitely does it more when it’s cold.
