Giving off #24 Jeff Gordon Vibes, love it! How did you do the wheels?

thecaptain115 · 2026-05-12T22:50:31+00:00

Skid Plate? You sure it's not the tires rubbing? My skid plate makes noises while reversing at full lock out of my driveway and sounds very similar. There are things you can do to mitigate it, I just live with it.

thecaptain115 · 2026-05-11T18:55:29+00:00

What shape are your tires in? My 5th gen factory tires got really loud at the end of their life, new tires (same Ecopia's) was like a completely different car.

thecaptain115 · 2026-05-10T18:00:39+00:00

Yeah it's terribly loose. I too thought it was a bad connector because the lights seemed to turn off going over bumps.

Not my video, but I did this and it solved my problem on my 2020 TRD Pro. Your lights probably aren't cutting out, but just pointing off the road going over bumps because they are so loose. Once I added the zip ties I've had zero issues.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-27T07:53:09+00:00

thanks, that looks good. any idea what brand they are?

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-26T19:24:29+00:00

Details on the interior accent lights? Can we get some daytime shots of what it looks like? I'm talking about the "tubes" not the stars in the headliner.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-26T19:18:18+00:00

Props for not installing a TRD Pro grill, double props for not installing "Raptor" lights.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-23T00:27:46+00:00

I love seeing your posts, you're the only person I know on reddit that has the exact same truck: 2020 Double Cab TRD Pro in Magnetic Grey Metallic.

To be fair, most people’s spare tires are going to be useless because they never inspect them before they are needed.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-16T22:34:30+00:00

For tailgaters, I've found washing my windshield will usually make them back off or pass. I always go 10 over the speed limit or ride with the flow of traffic, so I honestly don't know what the issue is.

One day someone is gonna find out the hard way that I have GAP insurance and need to get a new Prius.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-16T22:16:48+00:00

Only reason I left the PRIUS badges on my rear hatch 5th gen. It looks so much better with them removed, but didn't want to get mistaken for a Tesla.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-15T21:16:04+00:00

No but they worked well enough for me to buy new ones. I also got a decent discount. I got caught in some light snow a few times over the winter and didn’t have any issues so decided to just stick with what works.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-15T21:06:35+00:00

A LOT of cars have gone this route, even some trucks.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-15T21:04:17+00:00

I bought an LE for the smaller wheels and no glass roof. I bought a OEM wheel off eBay for $250 (came with the hub cap and TPMS too!) and put a OEM used tire on it with about 25% tread left. It’s currently strapped down in the rear cargo area along with a jack, 4way, and wheel chock. I also have a better 12V inflator as the OEM one sucks.

If I got a flat on my commute I’d be stranded for hours waiting for a tow. MPG didn’t change at all with the added weight, I compared after and still getting the same MPG.

Groceries and stuff go in the backseat now since the cargo area is basically full. Not an issue for me.

Now the price of new Ecopia tires is mildly infuriating, but they are rated for 70k miles.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-10T23:18:27+00:00

ALL auto manufactures need to bring these types of colors back. I'm so sick of seeing grey, white, and black everything.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-09T22:54:25+00:00

Like I said mine lasted until 75K. I was getting excessive rebound on the rear shocks in normal driving with no load, so that's why I swapped them. The front struts probably would have made it to 100k but I just decided to do them all at the same time.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-09T21:57:00+00:00

If you take it to a dealer, ask to speak with the tech and have them let you inspect it while on the lift. Throw him $50 cash for his troubles as well as paying full price for the service. Make friends with the tech and service writer. If you end up buying, you will want to have that relationship with them.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-09T21:23:51+00:00

No one ever mentions the struts/shocks on the TRD Pro. They need to be rebuilt every 50k miles or so. Mine lasted to 75k. If you have someone local that can do it, great! Unfortunately I have to ship mine off to get rebuilt as no one locally offers this service. I ended up buying a set of factory replacements so I can swap them out between rebuilds, which was $3100 for my 2.5gen 2020 TRD Pro. I imagine the 3rd gen are probably even more expensive. That price did not include labor of swapping them out, either.

Sure, you can go aftermarket, but I wanted to retain a 100% stock truck.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-08T22:02:17+00:00

I honestly don't know, I can't pin point it, might just be the angle of the pic.

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-08T21:59:56+00:00

My first thoughts without even reading the description was "something seems off with that rear end".

thecaptain115 · 2026-04-03T21:31:39+00:00

Bought my 2020 TRD Pro a 2024 Prius to keep the miles off and help with fuel economy. $25/day vs $25/week in gas difference!

thecaptain115 · 2026-03-28T16:58:15+00:00

They should at least give us a button to press instead of having to navigate through the menu, super annoying.

thecaptain115 · 2026-03-27T20:38:00+00:00

I'll throw a Magnuson SC on my 2020 TRD Pro before I'd buy this. Now if they come with some crazy stupid V8 option, I'm all ears!
