@237311 I believe when I had the mount out I show the screw and how it works to adjust. I pulled the truck up against our garage wall and checked to see if they were level, then adjusted the screw to align them.

@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN Thats exactly what I want to see--how you adjusted the screw (the bolt that came from DD) when you were checking the level.

@danieljohnlevy very much appreciated!

@mikeware69 awesome!!

@williamecubed sorry but the seller has to have a minimum quantity to make a batch and didn't have enough interest to get one together. I've tried to figure out how to get a list together but it'd have to be prepaid to guarantee he didn't make a batch then buyers didn't actually buy.

@randomstuffwithporgy3879 it's def finicky. Someone in 2nd Gen Tacoma Headquarters a group I admin on Facebook posted they made a switch with 2 wires and poked the wires in the pinout holes then just flipped the switch til it reset. REEAAAL MEEEN OF GENIUUUUSSSS!!

@grrritzsnevets6174 it's a special order from a guy who sells through Google somehow he needed a 25 order limit to make a batch but nobody really replied to make a batch when I made this post and I'm not sure where it is now.

@rickg.8231 going from steel to cushion you'll hear less rattle in the chain.

@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN thats what i keep seeing. Seems like a plus. BuT, what about getting heavy on the throttle.

@rickg.8231 mine has always been cushion the old one was fine and I like getting on the throttle. If you have excessive chain and sprocket wear then I could see how you're gonna crush the cushion but I'm not sure that the torque on the new sprocket with a cushion would be much different than no cushion.

@rogerg4916 that is not something I have been able to look into other than the symptom happening then resetting the VSC then the symptom stopped.

@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN OK, thanks. Would there be any harm in just resetting even if it doesn' t need it?

@rogerg4916 no harm

@stewiebeatle awesome, thanks!!

@thegunner_7 such a strange "safety" feature that throws you into the other lane eh? Glad you found it. Mine hasn't done it again since.

@minnieeltaeb2112 that's incredible! So glad you were able to find my video to get that pesky door opened! Thank you!

@breedda1 excellent!

@aniruddhagujar4119 that would be too much IMO. -1 in the front is the biggest gain only changing one tooth, enough to make my.speedometer 7% off. Doubling that and also increasing the rear by 4 would make the bike whine in higher rpms at almost any normal riding speed. I think -1/+2 would be sufficient if I wanted just a little more umph on the throttle pull.

@ivanrojas8568 not sure exactly what engine noise would be a clicking sound. Relays click...if you're pulling and putting the relay in while the battery is connected.

@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN thank you ill try it again and go from there thank you for your response!!! Keep up the great vids

@superslayer6821 I was hesitant to say it works (too loosely) with other Toyota models for fear it might damage something if it's not wired the same as mine but many people have commented here and in Facebook groups that it worked on their non-Tacoma models as well. Which is great! Thanks for the comment.

@jasonsmith4243 the factory grill seal on mine butts up to the bottom of the curve in the bug shield. If you don't have a grill seal at all, the help would be that the curve at the bottom of the bug guard swoops down a little past the top edge of the grill itself. That might help with deflecting rain in your case. Hard to say as I haven't tested it in the rain without a grill seal to say fornsure if more or less water gets in. Maybe someone with your same scenario might reply though!

@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN Thank you at least I know that it will cover up the gap in the hood without the seal being there

@abbeyrussell947 that's great! I was getting some shameful looks at the pump with my leg stretch routine!

@mynamesjeff4853 you're not trying to replace the rotor that delaminates, are you? It doesn't affect gen 1 FZ1's. But, if you need to open yours for some other reason, look around the edges of the stator cover, there are metal tabs that stick out past the engine casing you can use for leverage. Hope that helps!

@njacobjames73 heck yeah you're welcome!!

@kvasir119 it sure surprised me the 1st time it happened too! The interesting thing is that I already had my lift and wheel spacers on the year before going around that same curve over and over again and it never did it. Put the bigger tires on and went around the same exact curve like I had before and skerrrch-beeeeeep, and I was going into the other lane!!

@MissKheryna95 I couldn't say what your issue would be with smelling excessive fuel. I've only had the issue of smelling fuel when I had an evap leak, but a check engine light was on for that at the time. If your system is sealed as it would normally be, you won't smell fuel. I don't think it has anything to do with previously trying to start it while having this TIPM fuel pump relay problem. I'm glad this did fix your issue. I haven't heard of this adapter causing any fires. The seller has a disclaimer not to leave this on forever but to use it as a temporary fix, the only problem is the only other fix is buying a new TIPM module and having it installed; costing nearly $3k total, and that new TIPM module will have the exact same relay that went bad over time just like the current one. I've been running this adapter kit ever since I made this video and have had no problems. As I believe I explained to one other person who said the fuel pump kept running after they shut the vehicle off: it will do that until all the standby power shuts off when you open the door (like the radio running until you open the door). That's normal with this adapter because of where it taps into power for the fuel pump. It literally just means if you turn the van off and just sit in the van, the fuel pump will continue running, which you will be able to hear unless you have your stereo volume up as loud as I do! Hope this helps!

@RB-er2li I can't say for sure but it might be best to disconnect the battery for a bit and then reconnect it and try the process again. I am not familiar with whether not finishing the peocess entirely in 1 try creates an issue that can't be undone by trying again. My 1st thought would be to try again. In my experience I didn't get a chance to see it not work then try again, mine worked the very 1st time, which I was recording as I did it in my video.

Speed sensor shouldn't have anything to do with calibration.

@mynamesjeff4853 no.

@Pnw-nick it took a few weeks it seemed before it really opened up to its full potential, and it is to me 1 step up in sound from the stock exhaust. It's noticeable riding at idle rpm but is louder when you gas it. Sometimes I forget that I added it after getting used to it but then you gun it once and it's like oh yeah, it's there. I still like the sound and am still glad I installed it. The tires I have now that I didn't have when I made this video are actually louder than the exhaust!

@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN Awesome. It sounds like exactly what im looking for. I always have loud cars and have kept the truck the quiet daily for the last 8 years but it's time for a little change I think.

@@Pnw-nick I spent a good bit of time researching sound clips and decided on this for the price but MBRP full exhaust def has the best sound for the 4.0L Tacoma IMO but it's a LOT more expensive and hard to justify!

@deegaw11 the tank protector in the middle is not factory but was on my FZ1 when I bought it. Very common pad def helps keep a zipper from scratching the paint. The anti slip pads on the sides aren't factory either. I have an install video for them if you want to check it out in my FZ1 playlist where this video is also nested under. ruclips.net/video/QAp02OJnYfA/видео.htmlsi=E56EyWJ97gyTHSgI

@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN oh I was talking about the foam strips on the fuel tank where the plastic cowl goes on top.

@@deegaw11 oh, I didn't add them pretty sure they are factory. Mine is a 2012.

@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN wonder if that will help with some of the buzzing I get at certain rpms.

@deegaw11 all my buzzing is in the headlight cowl, I stuffed some fabric between the black side vents and the h/l cowl and it went away!

@artalexander5922, cross thread a bolt?

@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN no bolts went in good gasket was sitting fine started leaking tightened then up a little then seemed not right pulled the cover now I can’t pull it back out to check it over I’m positive I put it together correctly

Anyone else have that issue

I can’t see what could be holding it in unless it’s tight in the bearing either way my bikes down

@artalexander5922 I wasn't sure what you meant in the last reply, you got the stator cover off but now the rotor assembly won't come out? Is the gear basket in the way?

@veronicaaguayo1350 you got this, we believe in you!!

@jasonmcdade8837 it's the best color there is!

@VANREY. The link is in the deacription.

@yobosaeyoyobosaeyo288 almost threw me into an 18 wheeler 1st time it happened.

@davidweesner5997 this isn't my product and I'm not selling it on Amazon but seems reasonable that you can return a product to Amazon during the return period if that's the policy shown for the item.

@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN Thanks Shawn - and really appreciate you putting out the videos!

@@davidweesner5997 you're welcome!

@johnny-k6l you can use the part number and cross reference what it fits but I can't imagine it's the same part though. Is this an issue on a gen 1?

@237311 the smaller buttons fit below the stereo.

@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN There are none below the stereo. The ones on the left side of my truck’s steering wheel should be the same as those in your truck. I ordered them from the link you posted here. So, did the seller send me the ones that go below the stereo?

@237311 I believe there are 2 versions, you have to chose the right version?

@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN Yea, the link in your video is for the smaller button. I reordered the bigger button.

@237311 this is the 1st I've heard of this, either they sent you the wrong button or your dash is different than mine? The link I shared is for the button I got that fit. I didn't have to order a different button for it.

@robkreisel your gen 2.5 has the secondary air pump which mine does not have so that's the relay yours is referring to. I don't know why yours wouldn't have a fog light pickup spot unless yours in a base model SR, which doesn't come factory with fogs like mine did. You can tap into a source that gives power with the ignition being turned on as well, its not technically an "anytime" fog mod since the only time it works is if you have the key turned forward but it can be a nice safety feature if you feel like you might forget to turn the fogs off and drain the battery, but I'm not worried about that. You might need to look at the fuse diagram I linked for your 2014 below and see where you can pull from for yours since it's not the same as mine but it's basically the same concept: www.startmycar.com/us/toyota/tacoma/info/fusebox/2014

@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN Mine is a TRD Off Road and came with factory fogs. I just replaced them with Baja Designs Squadron lights. Super bright. I actually used ChatGPT to dig in a bit and think I have some ideas. There is a relay labeled "HEAD" which AI suggested may incorporate the fogs, and another relay labeled "DIM" which is for high beams. Since the fogs typically go out when HBs are on, I bet I could use that relay to bypass that function and keep the fogs on. I kind of like the idea of the fogs only being on if headlights are on, but want them to stay on with HBs if possible. But I don't know the wiring details of either the DIM or HEAD relays.

@robkreisel it's way harder to figure those out without wiring diagrams. I've done some more complicated aftermarket wiring for things like automatic master switch, and plan to do 4Runner mirrors which is gonna take some doing. I hope you're able to easily figure it out and sorry I don't have a better idea on your wiring setup!

@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN yeah, I may have to purchase a wiring diagram online, if I can be sure to find a reputable source. And thank you, I appreciate your help!

@robkreisel anytime!!

@DavidBalser-g6k I haven't heard of anyone saying they had to change the method but I did mention in the video that sometimes it takes more than 8 times to reset but if you saw the dash lights do the same thing mine did then it reset. Another person; gomez, replied and said theirs was in left turns too and this method worked for them. Maybe you have an issue with a wheel speed sensor wire getting pulled in left turns.

@user-cn8vb9hh5z that's awesome! You're welcome from North Carolina, USA!! What year is your FJ?

@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN it's a 2016. I imported it from Japan with 35k miles. They come from Japan with zero rust, every fastener is still perfect underneath. I took it straight from the port to get treated with Dinitrol underneath to protect it as we put salt on the roads here sadly.

@user-cn8vb9hh5z oh yeah that's not good about the salt! It would be cool to have a vehicle imported here that we didn't get in the US!! Like the Hilux.

@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN and I would love a RHD Tacoma with a turbo petrol engine!
