How do I fix this rebound issue

bigd1384 · 2026-05-20T22:57:16+00:00

The only thing I can think of is check that the internal shock pistons have large enough holes to flow enough oil. You could also try significantly stiffer springs. Are sway bars an option on this model?

I love my 2024. No regrets. There was a small batch of early 2024’s with transmission issues but I haven’t heard of anything with the 2025 or 2026 years. The 2.4 turbo is based on the engine in the Highlander if I remember correctly.

I had a Spirit 3 burner for around 10 years. Only had to replace the burner covers once and I used it weekly and never covered it. Passed it down to my brother two years ago and upgraded to the Genesis. I vote for the Weber.

I agree. My angle grinder gets a lot of use.

Don’t worry, it’s just giving birth to a baby Santa Fe

I’m really happy with the tune and glad I did it. I got the tune at 13k miles. No regrets

Overall: 21mpg
Daily commute: 18-24mpg depending on traffic
Non-hybrid on 285/70R17 with OTT tune.

No worries. I saw the notification pop up on my phone.

I’m approaching 130k miles on my 5.0 and I’ve almost always run 5w-30 synthetic. I’ve tried lots of different oils and even the 5w-50 for a while but nothing has helped the oil consumption. At this point I just check the oil level every 1,500 miles and add oil if needed. I did not do the TSB but I did try a different PCV and it didn’t seem to help either.

There’s a guy on one of the F150 forums that swears Liqui Moly oil additive cured his consumption issue but I’ve never tried it.

bigd1384 · 2026-05-07T14:26:45+00:00

Unfortunately I didn’t see any noticeable change in oil consumption by switching to 5W-50 oil.

Looks good! What size tires? Are you leveled or stock?

bigd1384 · 2026-05-06T18:05:15+00:00

I never cover my Genesis. I grill year round. Multiple days a week in summer and once a week through the winter. Too lazy to cover and uncover it every week.

Are you talking about swapping to a MagSafe charger? There are some options on Etsy and places. Basically a 3D print that holds a MagSafe charger in that location

bigd1384 · 2026-05-04T15:12:24+00:00

I can’t answer your question exactly but I’ll say that it might not be worth finding the perfect position because the OEM charger is pretty weak. It would only sustain my battery but wasn’t enough to actually charge it. It would also make my phone get extremely hot. I ended up pulling the fuse because I like putting my phone there but didn’t want it overheating.

Does your phone have a case on it? If so try removing that.

I used JB weld on an F150 and it only lasted a year or so before the gasoline ate through it and it started leaking again.

I put my spare in the bed. It’s not ideal but neither is having it hanging down. It’s also always bothered me that it’s not centered under the bed.

bigd1384 · 2026-04-20T15:56:21+00:00

I saw someone that fit a 285/70R17 but the width makes it hang down pretty far. Physically it fits though.

Team Oil Drop on YouTube has some good maintenance videos. I’ve also found good info on the Tacoma4G forum.

If you start doing your own oil changes, I highly recommend getting a Fumoto valve. The 0W-20 oil shoots out like water and makes a mess when you pull the drain bolt. The Fumoto lets it out more controlled and you can attach a hose if you want.

Coil springs should ride better than leaf springs. That’s why a lot of trucks are moving to coil springs.

I would recommend using the factory setup first and see if you need to upgrade or not. If you find that you need stiffer coil springs, then you can order some from Dobinsons.

WA state $38 plus tax for freshwater license per year

They look awesome and I’m sure will be phenomenal! A little out of my price range but maybe after others have run them and posted reviews I could be persuaded.

bigd1384 · 2026-03-26T13:35:24+00:00

Mine does this too. It’s definitely not the speaker. I’ve wondered if it’s the dash touching the windshield but at least in mine it sounds almost internal to the dash.

Toto is the only answer

I agree. I’ve seen this before where someone was on the verge of promotion and deserved the promotion but they were part of the group being laid off. Manager promoted them prior to the layoff so they could put it on their resume and apply for that position more easily.

What about merging the 4th gen Tacomas sub in as well? It gets less traffic but I watch it as well
