This is definitely a bug and I believe has to do with the 4 pin plug. So, this is what I do. I back up the trailer, unhook, and remove the ball. Then I drive away far enough for the camera to no longer see the trailer. Back up to the trailer (don't reconnec) , turn off the car, turn it on...
It’s not really apparent, but that entire piece, including the spoiler comes off. That part is sealed I believe there is a gasket around the light as well. I found this out when I relocated my camera to my cap. Even if water got in there, it couldn’t get into your truck.
I just crossed 10K miles so I'm hoping no issues. No hard shifts yet. It does make you nervous. I was wondering around logging roads in the North Woods of Maine looking for Moose and it was in the back of my mind. I would've been in serious trouble if it had died out there.
Just got my OEM Trailhunter grill from Toyota. $259.00. No light bar, of course. I did get the Heretic light bar which was $500, but you can get cheaper from others. I didn't want the marker lights. If I had seen this before, I may have gone this way.
Just cleared 10k with mine and still no issues. Fingers crossed I got luck and got no casting debris. I am in the affected range. I messaged my Service Manager (a friend) and he said they're just learning about this and hadn't had any come in bad yet. First sign of trouble and mine's going...
Might be a mistake. If anything I can see Terra being available across the line for 25. I believe it's been the same in the past with the Pro colors. Wasn't Solar Octane the 23 TRD Pro color? I know Solar Octane was cancelled for 25
Sure, I can do that. I'm working on my new site now. I'm heading for Maine next week to find and photograph Moose. I'm not sure how heavy the off-roading will be, but at the same time I did't thihk I'd find anything in PA.
Thanks. I've shot lots of birds as well. In the past few years I've been chasing mammals. This is one of the reasons I'm building up the truck. As soon as I get some time I have Molle Panels for inside the bed. I've designed some printable brackets for tripods that will rest just inside the...
Storage isn't the best, but then again it's a mid sized truck. I came from a 2.7 F150 and I find the Tacoma engine to be pretty peppy. Make sure you're not in ECO mode. Mine came like that from the factory and I was disappointed until I moved it to normal. Even less so in Sport. My wife's...
My dad would've told me to sit back there and be quiet :). I had a 5'2" woman in the back seat from Ohio to Myrtle beach and she was fine. It's going to depend on how tall each of you are and the kids. Kids have a lot of entertainment now in the car. You could always turn on the wifi in the...
There was a video a while ago from Jace Robinette where he was having issues with transmission heat offroading in 4HI. It never did get dangerously hot.
Later he posted that when he switched to 4LO it didn't have a problem. I do agree that much of this has to do with having a gauge now where...
I am running Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac RT. I work for Goodyear so not much option there. Fantastic tires. 3 Peak rated and ripped through the trails with no issues. The only thing is with 33's they are 10-Ply. I wish they had lighter ones, but it is what it is.
Hi everyone. I did my first offroading last weekend with my Tacoma. My big hobby is nature photography and as I've been chasing after larger mammals, I'm sometimes finding I need to venture out farther to find them. This is what I built the Tacoma to do.
Last weekend I headed out to...
No. It’s on off for now. When I get caught up I’m going to see if I can simulate open doors with wiring. Haven’t had a situation where I wanted to keep them deployed so it’s not a priority right now
I’m not exactly sure what you mean about vice grips. I do not Have stabilizer disconnect. If you mean the part to remove that retaining ring, I think it’s gonna depend on which model . The video from Westcott shows you taking a wrench and banging that retention ring down the off-road is...
This is what people seem to forget.. massive inflation. Adjusted for inflation, these trucks are almost where the 2019's were. I have an OR Premium that I got back in April for MSRP. I know they're doing discounts now, but I still have no regrets. Most fun I've ever had with a vehicle and it...
I know it will stop you if your door is open. I was in a situation where I needed to move the truck 2 feet and tried to move it with the door open... no go. It slammed on the brakes and made me close the door first. I do from time to time, when driving short distances offroad, leave my...
That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the Trailhunter came with that Snorkel. Ice. I can see the snorkel getting iced up and causing problems and then trying to chip it off of plastic.
