    AUX Switches easy to use / hook-up!

    Interesting. I just took delivery of my '25 TRDOR today. I know I only have Aux 1-3. I'll look to see if there is a powered Aux4 relay slot, and if the Aux4 fuse slot is powered.

    AUX Switches easy to use / hook-up!

    I'm showing the list price is $116, ~$83 from a discount dealer. Also, I seem to recall there are 4 part numbers. Aux 1: 84484-35010 Aux 2: 84484-35020 Aux 3: 84484-35030 Aux 4: 84484-AK040 (84484-35040) I was at Overland Expo this last weekend in CA. Toyota had a Trailhunter on display. It...

    Any word on a larger fuel tank?

    I have one of these on my Gen1 4Runner. There is a company that makes a spare tire tank for the Gen3 Tacoma. I've been talking to them about a tank for the Gen4 Tacoma. I'm hoping to visit their shop in April to chat.

    HAM and GMRS Radio Installs in 4th gen Tacoma -- Post Your Setups

    I don't think so. The mount from Victory 4x4 is $149. The mount from CaliRaised is $200. The ICS is a deal, and the 14" I have is sweet.

    Kinetic Rope Size

    Let me put it to you this way. I have the following from JM Rigging: 2 soft shackes, 2 winch ropes (one on a Warn M8, the other on a Warn xd9), kinetic (bubba) rope, a winch extension rope, and a recovery pulley. Jim is a great guy. You can order online, but give him a call (hint, hint). You...

    What Offroading gear are must haves for a newbie?

    I don't know if Florida has this kind of issue, but I will tell a story. Back in 2020 I did the Washington Back Country Discovery Route (WA-BDR). I was on one section over Labor Day weekend after they had horrendous wind. As I was going up the forest road I was dealing with dead fall. One after...

    What Offroading gear are must haves for a newbie?

    I would go with at least a 3/4" rope. That said, it seems I end up pulling heavy 80-series Land Cruisers, so I have 7/8".

    What Offroading gear are must haves for a newbie?

    Your recovery gear will evolve over time. Since I air down on trails, having some way to air back up is necessary. An air compressor, or CO2. I like Viair compressors. You can cobble a CO2 kit cheap off Amazon (10# tank, regulator, hose), or purchase turnkey from PowerTank. I have/use both...

    Recommendations for a CHEAP roof tent?

    Shop around for a Smittybilt 2783. Keep in mind that the tent is half the equation. You also need a way to mount the tent. That usually involves a rack of some kind, either on the roof of the cab, or in the bed. Those racks can cost as much as the tent, though you should be able to get a bed...

    Extended Rear Axle Breather Vent

    I will add this to my list of good things to do. I used that fitting to extend the breathers on my Gen1 4Runner. The barb fitting is a Toyota part. I harvested mine from 22re engines. It's the barb fitting off the plenum to the brake booster (IIRC), 90404-51319, ~$13. Fortunately, I have a...

    To prefill or not to prefill oil filter?

    I prefill when I can (filter orientation). There are no cons to prefilling.

    RECALL for Brake Hose Issue: 2024 Tacoma 4WD 4-wheel drive models w/ 16-inch brakes and 17-inch Toyota wheels

    Worthless suggestion from Toyota, and the dealer, if I'm on the Dempster Highway and the horrific mud on that road takes out my brake line.

    White smoke or vapor at startup?

    Water is a product of combustion, along with CO2. When that water is hot it makes steam. That is what you are seeing until the engine warms up. It's normal.

    Factory manuals currently 20% discount

    Their filters are a problem, I agree. I just selected the year, and manual transmission. The rest fell into place. I seem to recall you can also enter your VIN to filter this down further. BTW, as of last week this was not available at PartSouq. Also, be aware this is an international site. Not...

    Factory manuals currently 20% discount

    I'm looking at it. So far it shows the turbo, it only shows a 4 cylinder, and the air filter part number is correct. This also appears to be correct.

    Factory manuals currently 20% discount

    I've never seen it distributed. But, there have been sites that have it available online. I just checked PartSouq and they finally have the Gen4 Tacoma EPC available. I didn't study it, only observed it's available. https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/genuine/locate?c=Toyota
