    I agree with that. People should not pay. Otherwise I would just use air. I deflate when I Offroad so anything other than air is pointless since I refill with my onboard air.

    Thanks! I really like what they did with the 40th Anniversary Edition. The ice cap white is perfect for the color combos of the graphics and bronze badging.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.

    Any of you on Reddit may have already seen this. but I changed my oil on my truck yesterday for its 15k oil change. I totally forgot my blackstone oil sample kit at home in my rush to leave but I thought, ah no big deal, its only at 15k miles, and I doubt there's anything to worry about wear wise. Boy was I wrong once I cracked open the oil filter canister... My last oil change was performed at one of the local dealerships (that did get better reviews than a lot of the other ones in my area). Really just disappointing that the simple job of making sure you use the right filter is so hard for a lube tech.

    Also, do not change your oil every 15k miles, poor engine, even if the manual or oil brand says it. You will have all sorts of issues down the line. Oil gets acidic over time and will eat up and corrode seals. Its a marketing gimmick. Toyota engines will last forever if you change oil every 3-5k miles. Take care of your baby, you paid a lot for it.

    not sure what part of my post made you think its been 15k miles since the last oil change. The toyota dealer changed my oil at 10k, and I was changing it at 15 since its easy and the dealership only wants to change the oil at the 10k mark.

    Well thats good to hear. I assumed because you mentioned you said you did the 15k mile oil change. My friend works at the dealer and tells me the horror stories when people change oil at 10k miles.

    I believe it! especially if you happened to get the wrong filter installed! Probably explains why my oil was so much darker after 5k than it was for the last oil change.

    So I just got off the phone with the manager of the service department and he and his manager went down to look at their inventory. What they found was that they had over 15 filters that were mislabeled by toyota. They had YZZA5 on the box but the filters were clearly the A1's. They pulled all those filters out, sent them to the part department to get in touch with toyota about this and called some customers who may have gotten the wrong filter so they can fix that mistake and thanked me for bringing this to their attention as they wouldn't have known otherwise. Maybe he was blowing smoke up my backside but I hope he was being sincere as this is one of the best rated service departments in the area.

    Agree, very clean and looks great!
    Did you pull off the TDR or tape around it. This is going to be my next "upgrade" and I was thinking of doing the same with the titanium silver to match my wheels.
