    ^I've done this three times before on Tacomas, so it took me about an hour start to finish going at a leisurely pace after dinner. The assembly line guys in Tahara and Tijuana probably install 50 steering wheels per hour lol.

    In my mental image, the clockspring is just waiting for a chance to come unwound and create a disaster, and there won't be enough space to get the airbag tucked in properly with the cover sitting flat.

    ^The clock spring is under no tension and the airbag stays as an assembly. Multiple videos on Youtube showing how it's done, e.g.



    On my Tacoma I further separated the airbag and detonator from the cover to replace the Toyota emblem. That was a bit more interesting to see how the airbag is folded:

    That video didn't look too bad, although I have to wonder whether that's really a 3/4" and not 19mm. I wonder if it would be worth going that far to straighten out my steering wheel.

    Dealing with the airbag to access the Toyota emblem is definitely farther than I'd be willing to go.

    ^3/4" is equal to 19.05mm, difference of 50 microns.

    If your steering wheel is off-center, then you straighten it out on the alignment rack by adjusting the tie rods. Attempting to shift the steering wheel by one spline tooth would be the wrong thing to do.

    Yeah, but since I'm working on a metric vehicle, I start in the metric rack or look at the manual first. I wouldn't go to the SAE rack and look for the lucky match.

    Too bad. :( The alignment is really good. I'd rather keep it that way and live with a couple degrees offset on the wheel.

    As the "victim" of random rocks shattering a sunroof, this is my evidence from about 2 years ago:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSbVpf3zxvA

    The truck in front of me threw a rock and SHATTERED mine. You can watch it in slow mode and about the 16-second mark, you can see a small object in the cloud lines and then BOOM! You can hear the glass shatter.

    Still pic:

    it hurts to watch. Sorry!

    I’ve had plenty of rocks hitting my windshield but never the sunroof. I have a gobi rack so I wonder if the wind deflector mitigates projectile impacts on the sunroof. I have thought about getting the sunroof insert but the only time I had to deal with hail I was able to park under a cover and wait a few minutes for it to pass.
    Personally I wouldn’t get a 4R without sunroof as I use it almost everyday and never had any issues with it but it doesn’t hurt being prepared for the worse

    This nearly happened to me a few years ago. Something flew off of a big rig. I think it was a nut or lug nut. It hit between the windshield and the sunroof. It left a small dent.

    I installed the Daystar Lift/Leveling kit. As a non-rock crawler, it gives me just the right amount of lift and leveling that I was looking for. It also eliminated the bit of rub at full lock in reverse.
    Now I can seriously research some different tires - C or E-load.

    Gotcha. Fsw makes trd replicas that are flow formed and lightweight. 20lbs or less. I want them badly.

    Changed the oil- using Valvomax valve I put on during the last oil change. Last oil change I had drilled a larger hole in my drain pan/ container to help it drain quicker. The hose for the V-Max adapter happened to fit right in. No more spray and pray.

    Was pleasantly surprised. I had no issues with drain speed, although I don't think it drains as completely as removing the drain plug does. I believe the threaded part that screws into the oil pan sticks up a bit inside the pan which would not allow it to drain as much. Not a big deal to me, but worth noting.

    I recently learned about the MotivX drain tool that threads into the canister drain opening. Found a generic brand on Amazon I'll be purchasing. I made a mess trying to do this oil change without taking off the RCI skid plate (through the removeable plate) because I couldn't get the drain tool that comes with the oil filter to snap in. That adapter looks to be the perfect solution.
