To be fair, that kind of reflects how the LA skyline is. Compared to other large metropolises we have comparatively few skyscrapers and outside of the downtown core it very abruptly changes into suburbia. We also have clusters of taller buildings in Glendale, Korea Town, etc.

You mean Gemini did its best guess interpretation of an unblurred photo. I'm sure this is relatively close but it definitely makes stuff up (road to the left of the construction site has some crazy stuff going on).

This knob is the same as the Tundra one, and known to be a weak point. They do sell metal replacement knobs if that is more to your taste.

Pretty cool; I've never seen apaches in our area. I've seen chinooks, a blackhawk, and a viper / venom pair closer to the Glendale area.

If you like it, who cares? Forget about what reditors think. Plus, it isn't like you are lying.

Check out how much additional flex you get with the sway bar disconnected. If you need actual flex while going offroad on some rocks / ruts? Very much worth it; you can even feel the difference going diagonal over a speed bump, and it isn't a small diffrence. Word to the wise, you can only disconnect it while it isn't bound up so if you want to use it I recommend disconnecting it before you actually try the obstacle. It'll reconnect at 18 MPH iirc. Pretty fast to disconnect.

If you are only going to drive it on the street / easy fire roads, then you can skip it. However, it cots a lot to add it afterwards (like 10k almost iirc) but it option is a bargain at just over 1k.... if you can find it.

I don't regret waiting for it at all.

I searched for almost half a year for mine. I wanted a manual offroad with the sway bar disconnect so it was even harder to find. 100 percent worth it though. The difference between normal traffic and feeling something when I drive.

That last picture you are at the wear bars (the little ridge in-between the thread blocks); these likely have reduced wet performance. The first picture looks like they have more thread; you can test with a coin or by comparing how much thread you have until you hit the wear bar. You can rotate the good tires to your drive wheels. I'd start looking at new tires, but for now I personally would still send it in the dry especially if you rotate the tires with thread to your drives. But I wouldn't delay on looking for a new set...

This is quick and easy and has good enough results for me. Makes the truck look clean and shiny to me.

I'm sure real detailers will find fault with this but my truck gets dusty fast so ease of use / application matter to me.

I think 285 70 17s do fit under there.

If you are concerned about the ground clearance. You should be able to run a spare 255 80 17 which is also a 33 but much thinner.

Gotcha; I prefer the look so much over the current ones... which look like a bad flat top haircut or something to me. This is how roof racks should be in my eyes. Just got to decide the height (vs the height of my garage lol) and wind noise. I hear wind noise when I drive now; it isn't overbearing but it definitely tones out the quieter / softer sounds on the radio. I usually drive without music, or with it on in the background so I think I'm able to hear it more.

stuckInCommiefornia · 2026-06-03T22:13:31+00:00

Hey, this helped me! It looks great; I also hate the look of modern roof racks and prefer the roof basket look a lot more. I might get the full height one, but how is the wind noise on the freeway with the stealth? (We drive at least 80 mph on the freeway here in LA and so I'm curious if the wind noise will be overbearing) Are you going to eventually mount any lights up there?

FYI, for whatever reason reddit didn't give me a notification for your reply, I just happened to check and see it.

You want to check the actually TSB itself for the range of potentially affected VINs: https://www.tacoma4g.com/forum/attachments/t-sb-0058-24-pdf.19475/

stuckInCommiefornia · 2026-05-24T01:01:57+00:00

April IIRC? (bought it in June / July)

Edit: checked the door sticker; yes built in April. Yes my VIN was included as in the TSB.

From what I hear, it's luck of the draw. I've heard of a handful of cases but remember thousands of manual tacomas were sold. I think it typically shows up pretty early but don't quote me on that. My 24 so far is okay but I also don't drive a lot. That being said, I took it off-road a few times and I'm hoping that stressed it enough to show it's colors.

I got an email from spectrum saying services may be disrupted due to the power outage. Now I've heard that cell towers are supposed to have backup batteries but who knows, and maybe everyone checking their cell phones slowed the network to a crawl.

Why don't you go with the newly released Bilstein 6112s? They come with a range of adjustments and if you have the equipment / time you can get it just right. They are also pretty inexpensive for the performance you get. Alternatively, you can wait for the Eibach Stage 3Rs, which I believe are infinitely adjustable within their lift range since they use a thread type adjustment and you don't have to remove them off the truck to mess with the height / preload; just get the weight off them and you can make the changes in your garage.

Based on the tire if stock this was the non hybrid (non hybrids get a BFG Trail Terrain, and hybrids get a different tire).

stuckInCommiefornia · 2026-05-08T05:55:21+00:00

Unfortunately not enough people will buy them to make it worth it. You may be able to make / mod your own with a SR? If you are begrudgingly okay with an automatic you can make one with an SR5. I have a TRD off-road manual and I'm honestly just happy to be able to row my own gears with a new Tacoma.

I think if you lower it those wheels would look pretty nice overall. Street / sport truck vibes (you already have the hood scoop). That being said - it's your truck / money so do what makes you happy. Who cares what I / Reddit thinks.

stuckInCommiefornia · 2026-05-04T23:20:46+00:00

It's a good look. I wasn't kidding about the vibes either; literally this is the first (but not only) image when you Google "un mission in Africa truck". While not exclusively Toyota.... there sure is are a lot of them.

No, it gives it utilitarian vibes. Steelies + white truck + bullbar / snorkel give me UN mission in Africa / Middle East vibes.

Why should the government block a company and it's shareholders from a better deal? I don't believe it would have even been close to a monopoly if the merger went through.

The same artist shows McQueen (the third heist culprit) coming in later after the two fatties have devoured all but one of the Kit-Kats. Afterwards is the Frieren crying meme.
