    They popped up on my IG recently, I checked them out. Does it live up to their claims?

    Yes. As long you take the time and do the prep stage very well.

    Mine is a daily driver, and I get about 3-4 months before I notice it in need of a touch up.

    My wife’s car is not daily driver and I do not notice a diminishing shine until somewhere around the 11-12 month mark.

    Yes. Even after mud, rain and most recently salt brine. All wash off with soap and water and once the tire dries, it’s shine reappears.

    Everything was fine until I moved out here. :D

    Had to go back and forth for a while. And work commute went from 6 miles to 36 miles. I mean, we buy these trucks for longevity don’t we?

    Lots.
    So, yesterday my truck hit 10,000 miles after owning it for almost 27 months. I work out of the country most of the year and it's not my only vehicle, hence the low mileage. It's been 5,000 miles since the dealer performed the first oil change and it's time for me to get it set up correctly for me to do it from now on. I want to make it as clean and simple as possible so that I can perform the changes without dropping the TRD front skid plate. With that in mind I made the following changes to the truck.

    1. Dropped the TRD front skid plate to allow unfettered access to the oil filter and oil drain plug. While I had it off I pressure washed it to satisfy my Tundra induced OCD.

    2. Drained the oil from the oil pan and installed a Fumoto F133S Valve. This is the newer model of the Fumoto valve that will fit the Tundra and will allow me to cleanly drain the oil, with the use of a plastic hose, without dropping the front skid plate.
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CMLV964?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

    3. Purchased and used a Motivx Oil Filter Wrench to remove the oil filter cap. Also, purchased a oil filter drain tool and hose to allow clean draining of the oil filter through the TRD skid plate access door. Got the Motivx Engine Oil Funnel for Tundra as well. Note: I would have bought the complete Motivx kit for the Tundra but they were out of stock so I ended up purchasing the parts separately since it was time to change the oil and I didn't want to wait around for it.
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XTAGHU0?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LMVJBMJ?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016FVJUX0?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

    4. Replaced the bs OEM plastic Oil Filter Cap Assembly with the correct fitting Toyota aluminum version. There is lots of instruction online here and on YouTube on how to do this properly, but mainly you have to switch the center part of the oil filter cap on the aluminum version with the longer one in the original plastic model. Very simple to do and the end result is an aluminum cap that you don't have to worry about cross threading or cracking over time.
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008BHP68A?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

    5. Purchased a half case of 5 OEM Oil Filter Kits.
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007OW6LSC?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

    6. Changed the oil with Mobil 1 Extended Performance Full Synthetic 0W-20. (Purchased at the local Wally World for $27 each.)

    7. While I had the skid plate off I finally got around to installing the TRD Front Sway Bar that's been sitting in my garage for quite a while. Easy-peasy install, took about 20 minutes by myself once I had the skid plate off.

    What did you use to change the look of the wood portion of your interior? I'm looking to change the look of the same parts in mine but can't decide to wrap, paint or buy some covers.

    I have had my 2021 Limited DC Nightshade 10 months and just went over 25,000. I storm chase in the spring all over so I fear I will at least double that in the next year.

    Yep, my battery crapped out at exactly two years too. Went ahead and got the free replacement from Toyota. Your upgrade is probably a better idea, though..

    I hear bed bounce is worse on the DC vs crew. RSW is a huge improvement in cornering so you don't feel like you are rolling out of the seat. I am not sure if it would help with bed bounce. Do believe firmer shocks help with that. If you have the black shocks, those are pretty soft and may be related. These may help

    Not throwing shade on the idea at all - - I'm a tool hoarder, and not at all in recovery...

    Would it not be better to spend the extra $10 and have a torque wrench with the same or better quality, that you could use for other applications as well?
    Kobalt 1/4-in Drive Click Torque Wrench in the Torque Wrenches department at Lowes.com
    Or you could go USA made and buy-once-cry-once:
    3/8-Inch Torque Wrench Square Drive 14-Inch Length - 57000 | Klein Tools - For Professionals since 1857
    ...and you'd still need to spend $25 on the filter wrench, if you don't already have one:
    Amazon.com: Motivx Tools Oil Filter Wrench for Toyota Camry, Tundra, Tacoma, 4Runner, RAV4 and More - 64mm 14 Flute Precision CNC Machined Aluminum Oil Filter Removal Tool : Automotive

    Filter housing torque: 25Nm (18.5 lb ft) - the application for which KlickWrench will work
    Filter plug torque: 12.5Nm (9.2 lb ft) - KlickWrench will not work for this, and you'll be doing it at the same time

    However; admittedly, you'll still need another torque wrench for the drain plug: Drain plug torque: 40.67Nm (30 lb ft); but then you'll have that for when you re-torque your RSB, change diff fluid, or some other fun project.
    Kobalt 3/8-in Drive Click Torque Wrench (20-ft lb to 100-ft lb) in the Torque Wrenches department at Lowes.com
    Or, you know...
    1/2-Inch Torque Wrench Ratchet Square Drive - 57010 | Klein Tools - For Professionals since 1857

    ...and now that I've suggested you spend more than 10x the cost of KlickWrench, you see how serious my problem is.:)

    Nice… I hadn’t seen those before. I think I’ll be ok with the Motivx for now as it worked extremely well and not to worried about over tightening with the aluminum oil filter cap. Used my Craftsman torque wrench on both the Motivx and oil drain plug no problem.
