I have two issues with this type of winch bumper. First, you can't see the spool. Anybody who has used a winch knows the line can bunch up on one side during a pull. Especially during an off-angle pull. Second, the winch control box is inaccessible. A provision will need to be made so the winch...

So it wasn't just me? I thought the question was a little vague. That seems to be a theme with forums lately.

Another note. These trucks are wired different than old school. The turn signal and brake are on the same "bulb." I would need to double check, but the third brake light flashes when I hit the left turn switch. I don't have a solution for that. I know one idea was to run the wire from the third...

My first reaction is to get the trailer adapter from Dirtbox. Unfortunately, with my Victory4x4 bumper I couldn't use it. If I had to do it all over again I would try something else. My suggestion is to pop out the taillight and look for a passage into the bedside. I wish I had tried to install...

I have a buddy that works for Toyota. Currently, he has a Rav4 (temporary since his Tundra is recalled). He is aware of the issue, but noticed his Rav4 doesn't ice up. Trust me, I vented over this the last time we met for beer.

I'll play.

Are you talking about the proximity sensor warning in the carwash? Yes, you can turn that off in the settings. I've had to turn those warnings off when I'm off road. The brush made them cranky. I don't remember how, and I always need to hunt for the setting.

Clean the sonar sensor. Problem solved. Ya, it's annoying. Mine doesn't make any audible noise. Just the lights on the dash. It helps to turn off adaptive cruise control and just go conventional cruise. This last summer my issue was mud, and mosquitos.

Ya, sale started last week. My local dealer made a few bucks on me. With the discount I usually get at my dealer, plus the additional 15% discount, I was saving up to ~40% on most of my parts. I wanted to buy more, but it wasn't in the budget.

The price has gone up a lot in the last year. You can at least get the TH grille for less than $300 at a discount dealer. Then it's all your lights of choice.

If I was going to quiet the engine noise I would get one of the hood mats. At least they don't sit right on the engine to trap heat

This is also my experience. I have three Toyota engines in my stable (actually 4, but my pushrod 2FE doesn't count). The recommended oil for my 1998 3RZ is 5W30, the 1AR in my 2012 Venza is 0W20, and of course the T24A in the Tacoma with 0W20. My Venza rattles on 0W20, especially on start-up...

Demand must be going up. They now say March 11th. That said, I have the C4 bumper. Same idea, but certainly not for $700. When I was shopping I found some of these stealth winch bumpers had questionable mounting. I trust Warn to get this right. I would like to see install directions, and more...

I'm in the "I didn't notice any difference" camp.

I don't. I looked awhile back in the EWD for that switch on my truck and I didn't see a pre-wired connector for it. I've also had that panel off and don't recall a vacant plug.

I did my first oil change at 1K, then 5K, 10K, and had the dealer do the free 20K. The only reason I went to 20K was because I was on an Alaska/Canada adventure and I couldn't get it changed. My usual interval is 5K-7K.

Fumoto, Fumoto, Fumoto, Fumoto, let me say it again ... Fumoto.

I've already received my IRS refund. It went towards the truck loan.

I seem to recall Underground was the second most common color produced behind white.

You are correct. My TRD skid has two notched holes. So 4 bolts need to be removed, but 2 stay behind.
