Nice! I need to come up and maybe SaschWho in his Hummer and I (picked up a '24 Colorado ZR2 in March) can go do this with you guys. Tell Nate hi for me! F
Will do
Very similar to the Norden 901. Thanks for putting this together.
You bet!
My 2022 Tacoma is only 2WD. Does that mean I only have to worry about the rear? Or do I have a front fluid? Sorry if it’s a dumb question but learning to work on my own vehicles than go to dealership!
You only have a rear differential.
Does it work with seat heaters? How does it look with 360 camera? Does the front camera have that black bar thing in the middle?
Seat heaters, yes. 360, it has the input but my truck isn't equipped. I have an aftermarket front camera, no line.
Is there any risk to doing it by hand versus actually measuring the torque? Also, do you know why people are saying that this is the toughest DIY? It certainly doesn’t look that way.
I have never torqued a sparkplug, I like to feel that I am not overtightening it. No idea, maybe they are afraid of the parts you have to move out of the way.
Thinking of getting one.. how are you liking it so far??
It’s working well so far. Really like the CarPlay. It does take a few minutes to connect every once in a while, though. I will be making some install and review videos soon.
Do they make an attachment for the Royal Enfield Meteor 350? That Micro tank bag would be perfect on the Meteor.
Not sure, you can look it up here: sw-motech.us/c/luggage/tank-rings
20240921, I replaced my 3rd brake light. I too had brought my truck for their recall "fix". I didn't notice right away, but the lens had cracks. And after doing the diassembly to remove the light I realized Toyota had not done this. They simply added sealant. Perhaps for the making of this video, you make it look easy. THIS IS a tough challenge. I did remove the B pillars to pull down the headliner enough to get my 1/4" rachet and socket. And I used blue scotchbrite with Goo-B-Gone to removed alot of sealant. I don't work fast so, I took ~ 3hrs to do the job.
I got this too, cant figure out how to wire the reverse camera. Any advice?
The factory camera connections just plug into the main harness, not sure what the issue could be.
Is it true that it doesn’t have a built in mic?
@@Dudes25 it does
Where did you get the hub cap?
Not sure what you’re asking. The badge is 3D printed.
Nice video, question? Any idea how to remove the 4gen trdsport hood scoop?
No idea, sorry
On the front differential a friend of mine uses a torch to apply some heat to it comes right off , it worked great when I was struggling to get mine off👍
Good tip.
I went with the AGT version for a few months because I use a 40 oz hydroflask. It was nice for that but smaller bottles were too loose and I didn’t like it. I ended up going back to the factory cup holder and buying a 40 oz bottle that fit in a standard cup holder.
Cool, still running mine.
Music sucks
Thanks for the tip
My 2023 doesn't have the metal clips?
That's nice, they are a pain!
@@infosponge Sorry I was wrong. It has one it was stuck up in bumper; and it's not going back on! lol.
This video was such a huge help! Made installing our rack easy. Thanks
You’re welcome
Absolutely awesome looking so far, I want one !!
Thanks
thank you for the clear, to-the-point write up. now to fix my bumper. cheers!
You're welcome!
Really well done. Exactly what I have to do. My sensor may be ruined. I need to find a source for those. Thank you.
No problem 👍
This is exactly what I was looking at for my off-road trailer build thanks for making this. Saved me some thinking power!
Glad I could help!
Is the oil the same for the differential and Transfer case for Tacoma 2019?
I address that in the description, technically no.
Thanks for the video. I used to have a 2003 tacoma 4 banger and it was so quick and easy to change the plugs. Now I have a 2017 Tacoma V6 and what a pain it is compared to the older truck. Plus my truck is raised a bit so I have to get on a step ladder to do it. I hate the way it is so much harder to do simple maintenance on vehicles these days. My mechanic quoted $460 total after tax which is way less than the other quotes in the comments. Not sure if I will try it myself or just pay the mechanic.
If you’ve done it, you have the tools. I’d say go for it!
@@infosponge I did it this afternoon in less than 2 hours. I have one of those ratchets that can flex in different positions and it made it way easier. My truck is sputtering when accelerating after changing the plugs. I was hoping changing the plugs would fix the issue but it didn't. It was sputtering every now and then prior to changing the plugs and now it is sputtering worse. The check engine light isn't coming on and it isn't a rough idle.
What axles are you using for that trailer?

Just spoke with a dealer/service department and they warned me about a notice KTM put out concerning lithium batteries in the 890 models. I loved my Antigravity battery, but I'm wondering if the reason I had to claim a warranty on it is due to the charging system of the 890. According to that service department it's only compatible with lead acid batteries and the lithium voltages are different. It doesn't charge the same and can cause various issues. I'm currently experiencing a misfire and CEL, but I feel like it's not the battery. My bike performed excellent for over 2 years with the AG battery in it except for the replacement after the 1st year.
Good info. I’ve had no issues with mine so far.
Came here to see how it’s done and was immediately blown away by the soundtrack. I don’t know anyone else who listens to White Comic. Good looks
Good to hear
I was told taper seal was to be installed onto the bed , not tailgate. Hmmmmm
I'm sure it would work that way as well.
Doing all that routing with a cordless Ryobi 😅 electric Dewalt would have been the best tool
Had no issues with the Ryobi but thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks
No problem
Thanks for sharing it amazes me how many brands are on the market from smaller companies.
You’re welcome. It’s always interesting to see the different ways companies design similar trailers.
'Sup W! F here. I put the (older pre-magnet style) SW-Motech ring on my 2015 BMW S1000RR first, and actually have 2 bags, a large one with the clear map pocket on it for extended trips, and the micro for when I'm sporting around (maybe wearing my leathers) and just need room for my wallet, Walkman, keys, and a juicebox etc. When I got the 2021 ADV R, because KTM is retarded and just HAD to do things different, the ring (with magnets) had to go on backwards as noted. What I did differently from you, is that though the ring mounting is fixed (backwards), the mounting bracket under the bag itself (I got the larger Daypack and the optional extra little pouch on top) can be rotated 180 deg so the bag can be mounted so the flap opening is TOWARDS you. Which IMO makes it that much more convenient to easily getting into the bag. The release for the ring latch can actually be routed thru the small opening on the OTHER end of the pack (at least there was one on my Daypack). So, the handle ends up being in front (like on my 'RR) but the release is towards you and the opening is towards you (like on my 'RR). You might be able to undo the mounting bracket and flip it 180deg if this sounds like you'd want to do this.
Thanks for the tips F
@@infosponge Post up if you switch to see how you like it!
I thought there might have also been some 3m tape holding it to the hood as well
Nope
Pro tip from average dip stick... Never pull out the fill plug before the drain plug. Oil comes out like a a faucet at full throttle. Break the fill plug loose to allow a smaller amount of venting, WAY easier to catch that oil in a pan and not all over the floor.
Good tip!
i see you added it to description but yea the transfer case takes a straight 75w "low viscosity" oil unlike the diffs. most likely no issues with what was used but yea not the specified fluid
Yep
Maybe a silly question, but do the spark plugs need to be installed to a certain spec? I don’t see many having issues I just don’t wanna break one inside and then need to rely on someone else
I’ve never used a torque wrench on spark plugs but there is a spec, I believe it’s 18NM or 13 ftlb.
Buying by the quart cost a lot more. I bought Lucas gear oil by the gallon for 52 dollars each. I bought 2 gallons and saved money. Even with the pump, it came out less spent. If you can find your brand in gallons, go that route.
Good tip!
Great job!
Thanks
Great video! Doing it right now FIRST TIME....2009 TACO 4.0l 6speed , supercharged . 160000 miles .Love it!
Good luck!
Does the SW Motech cable lock, with locking pin at the right place on the bottom of the bag, still work?
I haven’t tried it, but I assume it would work. I will talk to the reps in a couple weeks at the Overland expo and see what they have to say.
Great video but there wasn't any mention about worrying dirt and whatever getting into the spark plug cylinders. Is that something not to stress over?
A little dust/dirt wont hurt anything, just be careful not to drop large items in the hole.
Looks good, thanks for the tip! Is that hypalon four inches wide?
Yes, 4x36. amzn.to/46F3DT7
Thanks for this! I’ll be doing mine this weekend dealer wants $600 to do this
Happy to help
Name model of the screen? Puig? Thanks
Just the stock S screen
My dealer just tried to charge me $680 to do this. No way that's gonna happen. Thanks for the video! I'll be doing this.
No reason it should cost that much, dealers are crazy!
Didja remove the skid plate when you first installed it? Kinda annoying that it has flats for a wrench, outside of using a crows foot wrench there's no way to put it on to a specific torque spec. I'm tempted to get one, with the skid removing the plug oil always splashes on the skid and it comes out so forcefully that without a fiber mat the oil bounces off the catch pan and goes everywhere. I figure with an easier setup I'd change oil every 5k miles and oil and filter every 10k. Some do complain that maybe the dirtiest oil doesn't come out because the fumoto plug threads stick up above inside the pan creating a dam like effect. You get all the oil out, the question is are sediments building up at the bottom of the pan if they're not entrained in the oil 🤔
Yes, remove the skid for the install. Saves a lot of time and effort during oil changes. Doubt there will be a sediment issue.
@@infosponge gaaaaah my lazy doesn't wanna LOL. Maybe I'll get the Stahlbus valve haha.
Did you change the type of adhesive you used? It looked white

Would you like to compare the Archive Garage Traveler Add-a-leaf that allows full bump travel?
Sure, I'd give them a try.
@@infosponge Would you mind emailing us?
Appreciate the video man! A few things I found while doing this. I’m pretty mechanically inclined so this took about 45 minutes. You don’t need to remove the rear bracket to get the middle and rear plugs out. Also I just folded the rubber foam piece cover the rear plug up and back out of the way. No real reason to remove them unless you just need the extra space 🤷♂️
Nice work!
Great info and video. But PLEASE remove the background music. It's very annoying and distracts from the video.
Thanks, not possible to change the audio track, unfortunately.
Hello, there is a controversy about which spark plug to use. I was looking into the following options: Denso (3491) FK20HBR8 Denso Iridium TT - 4705 Which one of the two do you recommend using and why?
The factory plug is the 3491 and it works perfectly fine so why change it. That said the smaller electrode size on the 4705 may add slight longevity and performance increases. I would just buy whichever one is cheaper at the time.
