Good suggestion. I do have the OBD monitor capabilities. I will look to see if that will do what you suggest if it fails again

Alternator voltage was correct. You are correct it a Cell outright failed, it would drop around 2V. That is not what I am theorizing An intermittent failure due to a cracked connection would limit current without a significant voltage drop. I am theorizing that the intermittent issue is temp...

The dealer tested the Battery and said it was good. That has happened before with a bad cell over my years of auto ownership. An intermittant cell issue doesn't always manifest during a test. I had them replace the battery anyways on my dime. They ended up putting a better True Start...

I thought it was the loose terminal, but terminals have been tight since I discovered it a few weeks ago and clean

Thanks for your suggestions. I am an Electronic Engineer and this doesn't seem like a paristic draw issue based on behavior. It is a good thought though I do have a HAM and GMRS radio installed, but they have been there for over a year with no issues If it went dead after sitting a few days...

It did it again. The battery was measuring 12.1V I had to jump it because I was taking my wife to the DR It started up the next time. When I got it home, I put it on the charger and it again showed 2 out of 5 bars. I did not run the charge cycle. This is after driving 30 minutes to get home...

Thanks. That voltage was after I charged and reconditioned the battery. I should have measured when I had the issue, but it escaped my mind. I will if ithappens again

I did find the negative battery treminal was loose. Not loose enough that you could pull it off, but enough that it could turn 90 degress with some resistance. That could have been the problem. I will tighten it and post up here if it fails again. If you don't see a follow-up post, you can...

I drove 20 minutes to my Father-in Laws house. I was inside 5 minutes came out and the truck would not start. Lights, Dash everything else seemed to work fine. The starter would not engage. I tried my Nocco GB40 and it was clicking with lights flashing. Unfortunately, at the time I did not...

They come off real easy. There is a clip on the inside that slides out and the sensor comes right out. The brfacket theey sit in would need work to get out. However, the one's provided with the bumper are for thee same size sensor so I used new Brackets and old sensors

I think 1 of those snapped, but still went on securely

from what I remember, it was close to all the parts removed. Thinking 80 pounds but could be wrong. I noticed no sag with the swap

Had same issue after replacing grill. Found out one of the connectors wasnt fully seated. Pushed it in and it has worked ever since

on the sides you don't get anymore clearance, you are alsso above the frame rails in stock vs with the ARB In the center you see a sharper angle maybe giving a slight advantage to the ARB But with the ARB hooks installed at the frame rail and the tow reciever the lowest point, there isnt a...

I have the grill, but not the surronding peices I swapped for the TRD Pro type. It had maybe 1200 miles Be a good opportunity to do the same if you think you may eventually swap it.

That isn't my experiance (not engine braking for s&%t), but I ihave a non Hybrid version. I have found the lower gears to be better for engine braking than in my Land Cruiser going downhill offroad. I didn't have any issues going down the mtn passes on I-70 engine braking.

Offroading in 4Lo, I am never in Drive. Downhill I downshift to engine break. Going uphilll I tend to be in 2nd to 4th Flat landing I tend to hang out in 4th or 5th. It depends on feel and rpm Towing I just go to 5th on my 6 speed Land Cruiser Tranny. On the Tacoma, it could be 6th or 7th...

When your transmission temps get high, are you in Drive? I had an issue with my 200 series Land Cruiser in Drive while towing the transmission would overheat up Mtn passes. Turns out the tranny is hunting for gears in D using the computer. I switched to manual 5 when towing and havent had...

R4T doesn't sell these (Utop) anymore, but the install is the same. You can see the spacers as he walks through it

The Utop ones have a spacer
