Negative. I'm talking about the drain holes in the metal body cowl itself. To see them, you need to remove that plastic cowl cover. They aren't necessarily round drilled "holes", more like gaps at the ends of the cowl for drainage.

True, it's possible to add a handle anywhere to anything. But this company decided they don't want to. Sounds like a business opportunity for you. 😎 I agree that the 4th Gen Taco could use real grab handles on both sides. I might add soft handles like others have done - that seems to be the...

My guess - up through the cowl drain holes. The cabin air intake is in the cowl, which is a metal trough that is covered by the plastic trim piece with the intake vent holes. At each end of the cowl, there is a gap where the fender attaches which allows water to drain down behind the fender...

I used to MTB a ton before I got my 4th Gen. But I got tired of the "which and plummet" riding in my area, with 30-45min gravel road grinds just to get back to the top. Maybe I should have bought an e-bike. I only kept my Chromag hardtail, and I ride Enduro and trials motorcycles more than...

Depends on the tire. But let's talk about the Falken AT4W (my favorite AT). Attached is the spec sheet. An LT315/70R17 AT4W allows for a wheel width range of 8.0" - 11.0", and that size was designed for a 9.5" wheel. So an 8.5" wheel would work, but just barely. The sidewalls will angle...

For sure. I'm just saying that with a "stretched" tire setup, where the wheel is wider than the tire, increasing width and keeping the same offset will give a bit more poke (half of the width increase).

When wheel width is increased and offset stays the same, half of the width change is on the inside of the wheel and half is on the outside of the wheel. But on trucks like ours, the tire is always wider than the wheel. So the wheel may get wider, but the tire stays in the exact same place...

Not normal behavior, but these transmissions are proving to be weird and have some issues. (I'm dealing with a different issue) A few tests you can try: Shift the truck manually with the shift lever in "S" mode; Put the truck in SPORT mode; Put the truck in ECO mode; Put the truck in TOW/HAUL...

"Poke" is created by tire width and the offset of the wheel. Wheel width does not have any impact on "poke".

Every tire model and size has a specified wheel width range, per the manufacturer. Running a wheel on the wider side of that range can give a bit better road handling, at the expense of offroad performance (especially when aired down). Vice-versa for a narrower wheel.

Yep. This 100%. If this was for, say, medical expenses for someone we know on the forum? Cool. But a church trip that's completely optional, and that you can pay for yourself? No way.

Take it to an independent shop who knows lifted trucks and performance/stance lowered cars. Ignore the new "measure the ride height" BS that Toyota created for this truck and the new Tundra - it causes more issues than necessary. Hunter now has it integrated into their software and it's...

I'm not going to watch some clickbait video. If the snow is over a legit road and less than maybe 5" deep, or is a fully compacted snow surface where the tires don't sink in at all, that's not deep snow. That's just a snowy road. A Subaru with good tires can cruise over this. Real "deep snow"...

That part has zero purpose - when the hood is closed, there is no gap for critters to enter the air box. The weatherstrip on the intake seals against the hood. And it will absolutely restrict air flow.

I imagine your question is rhetorical, so you don't actually want to know about anyone's specific financial situation. Everyone makes their own financial decisions for cars. Some people make good ones (large down payment and low rate/short term loan). Some make great safe ones (save up, pay...

Honestly... File the insurance claim and consider the truck gone. It sucks, but that's likely the best outcome possible for you.

You can get an OEM Toyota tonneau for that price if you catch a good sale.

Oh cool, that is a great idea. I checked the price though...... $99.99!?!?!? They need to offer a consumer (not pro) version for like $10.

Edited the response - I realized that the ring is highlighted blue in step 1, turn the knob in step 2.

The service manual is definitely not the clearest on this... I think this means to turn the lock or trim ring (highlighted blue) clockwise and down, then the knob will loosen counterclockwise. Maybe.
