  1. Visited CAT Scale - Weighed the Trailhunter w/ short bed (5')

    Fuel tank level? Driver in the vehicle? If so, driver weight? Any stuff stored in the vehicle? Or completely empty?
  2. Quick question for the off-road crowd — what do you guys call these two styles?

    "Overland" or "Expedition". Long distance, self sustaining, full life support from the truck. Some stock trucks can do this with cargo carrying mods. "Crawler" or "Wheeler". Recreational trail off-road driving. Heavy duty skids and sliders, lockers, dual cases, the most tire that the truck can...
  3. Where is your fob while driving?

    I thought I was the only one who used the "change pocket" or "watch pocket" for my key fob. It's a perfect fit! I have a small loop of 550 cord tied to all my fobs which makes them easier to pull out, or to clip on a carabiner when needed.
  4. Pedal Commander review / experience?

    No. Put the truck in Sport Mode if you want more performance. Put the truck in Eco Mode if you want more empeegees. Both of those do MUCH better than installing a widget that literally only simulates your foot pushing the accelerator pedal harder or softer.

  6. Toyota Dealer - No clue on alignment

    That's a good alignment. People may comment that the 3rd Gen numbers were used (notice the 2020-2023 in the header)... It doesn't matter. Alignment numbers are alignment numbers. And Toyota suspension hasn't really changed in 30 years. A good tech can make a truck drive well with countless...
  7. Crooked bed

    OH! I didn't even look to see that you have an SR with leaf springs. Total DERP on my part. Yeah, that's most likely just the bed. It would be worth confirming that your axle is centered under the frame as well, just to rule that out.
  8. Crooked bed

    The difference in wheel poke may have little to do with the bed alignment, and could be mostly due to the rear suspension having a panhard bar. Is your truck's rear suspension lifted at all?
  9. What’s in your Tacoma Toolkit?

    Oh jeez... I have a lot of stuff in my Taco. It's a culmination of needing things over the years and being prepared. Almost everything has been needed at least once and has a purpose. I also guarantee this list is forgetting stuff. Under the back seat: Bottles of water in ziplock bags Get home...
  10. Alignment Issues Due to Tire Shop?

    Shouldn't be an issue. Discount Tire does this at all my local locations, and they seem to prefer it over using the lifts. If the alignment was recently done, take it back to whoever did it since that work is likely under warranty. Also - check your tire pressures with a good gauge. Incorrect...
  11. AliExpress 14.6" Infotainment - Anyone have experience with these?

    The off brand Chinese Android head units have been getting better and better over the last five years or so. There are still some duds, but if the seller has good reviews, and sells other products with good reviews, it could be worth it.
  12. 2024 Trailhunter - A/C not cold

    This. I bet your fans are unplugged.
  13. Strange motor noise below bed

    Yep, EVAP system leakdown test. I freaked out the first time I heard mine do it. The manual says something about it too. It happens 5hr after shutdown.
  14. Sxth Element TRC1 vs. Pedal Commander

    Especially when our trucks have driver adjustable modes that do WAY more than any pedal controller can do. And I'll say it again for people in the back: The ONLY thing that these pedal controllers can do is to simulate the driver pushing the throttle pedal more or faster. Which can be done...
  15. Leaking roof in or near body seam

    So..... Why haven't you just taken it back to them and gotten it fixed for $300? Seems like a small price to pay to have this resolved.
  16. Wide VS Narrow Tires (Pizza Cutters to Wide)

    Spot on. I'm in the PNW, which is WET for a solid 50% of the year, damp for 25% of the year, and dry-ish for the other 25%. Skinny tires feel very sketchy on wet asphalt. Add in some road debris or uneven surfaces and traction will snap loose much quicker. Skinny tires also need higher psi to...
  17. Wide VS Narrow Tires (Pizza Cutters to Wide)

    I've seen both videos. Neither one actually tests the tires in real conditions. Tire width affects the feel and performance for daily driving, snow, sand, mud, rocks, and... Everything. And I'm not just talking about the carcass width - tread width has an even larger impact. Load rating also...
  18. Your new truck probably needs an alignment

    Tires don't change the suspension, so that wouldn't void any warranty coverage.
  19. Leaking roof in or near body seam

    So the first dealership said they could fix it for $300, correct?
  20. Your new truck probably needs an alignment

    This is correct - if your suspension is stock, alignment is covered under warranty for 1yr/12k. Once the suspension is modified, it's all on the owner.
