    If you search the forum, there are a few folks that have.

    If you are happy with their limited offerings for our trucks and the specs are what you want. They seem like a decent option and they are an affordable price.

    I was actually thinking about the RT105 in bronze for my son's Rav4.

    I see these auto-window switches all over Amazon but is there one for the rear window by chance?

    I think a couple of guys here have tried a workaround/mod with minimal long-term success. Check the auto up/down switch thread. If the posts aren't there, they will likely be linked. It's a long thread, but informative.

    While I wasn’t in my 2.5 gen since traveling for work, I did stop by the AZ proving grounds.

    I didn't know we had a Toyota proving grounds here, so I looked it up. Learned 2 things today, also didn't know there is a place called Wittmann AZ.

    And anyone who knows how heavy a saguaro is knows that little 2 x 4 they have trying to prop it up isn't doing a damn thing.

    Maybe this is where they proved the transmission oil cooler was an unnecessary add-on?

    Or where they proved a TRD Pro could be priced at the same level as the Raptor.

    I wish it had something to do with them, but it’s far less interesting. Just an account manager.

    That’s all any of them had to hold in place. I remember seeing a dirty jobs episode to where I think they dig down pretty deep to transplant them. Could be wrong though.

    Morning all

    Was just watching a quick YouTube video on the PCV valve and the creator listed 2 different part numbers, one for flex fuel and the other for non-flex. Appearance wise the only difference looks to be that one has a green nipple and the other has a black nipple.

    I already purchased the green one(12204-38030) as it lists on Amazon compatibility with my '18 that's non-flex but the black one indicates it's not compatible.

    Internally, are there any differences that I should be worried about? Did I purchase the wrong one?

    It was inherited, I just feel like it deserves a better home because I'm gonna kill it hauling this camper around. I think this might be better suited to my needs

    It needs a grill, a fender, a hood, tires, and probably a body control module. I don't expect anybody to want it if I'm just being brutally honest with myself.

    My dad was given the boot from the forum over some dumb stuff he said. I'd probably get the same treatment if I show his truck or give away his identity.

    I'm pretty sure you don't receive the ban hammer simply for knowing someone who has received the ban hammer.

    Well got my first ticket in the Tundra and my first in 15 years. He pulled over multiple vehicles for speeding. Couldn’t prove how fast I was going since he only clocked the guy behind me. But said my tires stuck out too much and my front/rear bumpers had too much clearance. Thanks @STravis :rofl:.

    I took that as a compliment and thanked him for my ticket.

    Just a little update that is definitely in improvement from the 12v cigarette lighter socket.

    I installed on the left side a pass through usb from my Radio and a USBC wired to the oem 12v from the cigarette socket.

    On the right side I installed a socket that has two USB and two USBC that I wired to the oem 12v from the cigarette socket.

    35k on my odometer and got my first CEL this morning on my way back from Pasadena. Pulled off the freeway to check under the hood for any loose hoses or plugs that I might have left undone. Everything felt right as far as acceleration/throttle response so I took it to my buddy who's got a scan tool. I didn't write down the exact code but it was related to my MAF sensor and something to do with idle.
    I've got the Stillen intake with a dry AFE filter+pre-filter so I don't know what could have tripped a MAF code. I do have the coolant bypass done but that shouldn't be cause for that code, right?

    Anyways, I asked him to reset the codes and I'm just going to keep an eye on my temps going forward, which means I definitely need to invest in a scangauge. Got my eyes on SGIII. Does SGIII read codes and allows you to reset?

    So he got you for speeding? How does one officer pull over multiple vehicles and write them speeding tickets when he only clocked one?

    That’s why he couldn’t give me a speeding ticket just for tire poke and bumpers haha. But I definitely was speeding since he clocked the guy behind me.
