Just because I was curious to see how Gemini (Google) AI would respond, I pasted my questions into it. I understand AI doesn't always get it right. Here's the response just FYI: Hello! As an AI with access to a vast amount of off-roading knowledge and community consensus, I can certainly...

I'm looking for opinions from those with several years of off roading and rock crawling experience in a Tacoma to weigh in. The use case is traveling on unmaintained "roads" that often involves some rock crawling and potential for hitting hidden rocks when going through mud puddles. I'm...

Well done! Hilarious. Thanks for sharing your sense of humor this way. I'm guessing you're keeping busy in retirement. 😂

Right. I used that recommended video to remove the console and do some wiring on my Trailhunter. Should be quite similar if not exactly the same. Here's a direct link to it...

Go back? What's this you speak of? LOL Honestly, I had similar thoughts before doing it to my Trailhunter. It is by far the best mod I've done. No regrets here, FWIW.

Updates: Completed installations for GMRS radio, ARB rear diff breather, and RCI rear shock mount skids. Rear view: Side view: Don't torque those skid bolts to 74 lbs/ft (or maybe get an accurate torque wrench?): Temporary GMRS radio mount: Center console removed to run power wires from...

I gave them a serious test on the trails just yesterday and they held up very well. Took the weight no problem. They are the real deal.

It is a little tight for my hands with the lights I have installed. But I can reach it. In addition, I can fit my hand easily between the lights and (relocated) winch control. On this winch (Warn VR Evo 10-S), there is a rubber cover over the port for the wired remote. But I'll likely use the...

For those of you running larger tires, enough that your speedometer reports lower speed than actual, how are you doing these calculations? If the mph is off, then I would also expect the auto calculated mpg AND the odometer to be off. Doesn't this mean that the reported mpg is off and the...

October 2025 Updates... 1. RCI Rear Shock Mount Skids ordered (on sale) Will update with pics when complete. 2. Jack mount in bed using OEM rail ($29.99 mounts from Amazon) Pic below. 3. Working on installing ARB rear diff breather kit. Will update with pics when complete. Had to get creative...

I'd love to get the Cali Raised switch controller and mount. I can't see the Aux switches very well from my position in the driver's seat.

I keep mine between my cheek and gum. Wait, did I misunderstand what a fob is? Sorry, I seem to be stuck in Dad joke mode for the last few years. Pocket, usually. OK, one more. Mine doubles as an earring when I'm feelin' fancy. Pretty sure there is a Trumgeta thread for earring design feedback...

Wow, this thread came back from the dead! ☠ LOL I'm not the OP, but do have the 822 Dobinsons on the front of my Trailhunter. See build thread link in my sig. Happy to answer questions if I can help. Short answer, I'm pretty sure I lost a smidge of height, but I'm happy with them for my setup...

No, not that I've noticed. What are you thinking?

I just updated my original post with info on new front coils and needle bearing replacement, including new pics. Here it is after the break in period for the new front coils. See original post for details.

Oh! The fuse for the winch.

No clue. Link to where you see that on ARB site?

What's a Bojack? The red tow hooks are visible if that's what you are asking...

Thanks, @bemmster Super helpful! I'll take real world experience over luck of the draw tech support any day! Much appreciated. This should save me a bunch of cash.
