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...

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...

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".

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...

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...

Absolutely they are available. I just bought one for my spare tire mount.

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...

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

Echo. Rockauto shows several options

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.

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.

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...

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.

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

The Factory Service Manual was never intended to include the Electronic Parts Catalog. They have always been separate.

Switches are on page 3.

Here is a screen shot of dealers. Many are discount, but the discount varies. Some offered free shipping on orders over $75. Open several carts and see who comes out the winner. I've done online business with Claremont. My local dealer is American.

Dealer. PK389-35R50-P1 are the wider version. PK389-35R00-P1 are narrower. Both are $125 list, ~$110 at a discount dealer.

Two different recovery tools. A kinetic rope is used when somebody is mired up. Sand, snow, mud. A recovery strap is good for moving somebody who is not mired up, but just needs a gentle tug to get them up, or over, an obstacle. Recovery straps are also good as winch line extensions. Kinetic...

From JM Rigging: "When choosing a recovery rope it is best to figure a rope that has 4 times the capacity of the weight of your vehicle. For example, if your vehicle weighs 5,000lbs a rope with at least 20,000lbs capacity or more would be required, our 3/4" line rated at 25,000lbs would be an...
