The nanny state is strong with Subaru peeps, I mean Toyota peeps. Good thing they put in covid masks in the first aid kit.
No one is saying you have to wear your seatbelt going off Road. You assume risks at your own peril. No "nanny state" involved with this one.


There is no logic to rethink, unless your saying I should call that medical specialist first. I like to think making them wait adds to the punishment.
You are assuming you will still be able to dial.



We die in small fender benders like real men.
That makes total sense.

Me and my buddy were going up narrow mountain trail, climbing up. Snow was deep and we were breaking the trail. It was hard and my buddy was leading in 3rd gen Taco. He was really struggling with all that snow so we decide to switch and I go first breaking the trail. I am not sure if it's a truck or tires or maybe combination of both but Trailhunter does much much better in snow then 3rd or 2nd gens when we do snow wheeling. So I was going first and making progress but it was dicey and as we are going up I am rethinking my life choices lol getting stuck there it wouldn't be fun. So at one turn there is a Cedar tree that fell down across the road and someone cut it probably 2-3 months earlier to free the road, but still part of the tree was sticking out and there was some greenery that look like it will just brush of the truck, nothing too dangerous. Now I could avoid all of that if I made wider turn, but my worry about being stuck in that snow made me make tight turn since wider turn would make me go in deeper snow on the snow bank. I also wasn't sure how really wide is the road there under the snow and where it ends, it could be just some bushes that hold snow and looks like road but you can drop trough it. So I made tight turn, thinking that greenery will just brush off, but what I didn't see - there was really thick branch hiding... right under that greenery that was previously cut and was just hiding there. As I was going slow that thick branch just shatter my back window, I was like WTF. Man was i pissed how stupid that was.. but what can you do it happens.. Luckily good friend of mine is foremen of collision repair shop and he had that thing repaired in 2 days. :) Hardest thing was taking all that shattered glass out of door cavity.

I was afraid that the 3.5 gear ratio in the diffs was gonna suck, but the torque at low rpm on your rock crawling is awesome.

Would a Taco without the Trailhunter snorkel have made it through? I remember Toyota saying the snorkel wasn’t water sealed so theoretically yes right? Or is it sealed but they just don’t want the liability.

It's not a snorkel, it's a reloaction of the air intake up above "dusty road conditions". a snorkel is used when the engine bay is sealed. water will flow directly into the engine bay via the wheel/grill openings.

So I assume this means our air box intake is fairly high in the engine bay? No air tube in the fender or at the bottom of the box where water can scoop in?

Sorry to ask so many questions, I’m just wondering how much water we can go through. I’ve seen passenger cars where their air box seems high up but there is an air tube that extends from the bottom that ends up scooping water. I should take my box apart and take a look where the air comes from.
