The only issue is retraining myself on how to get into the vehicle after five months of pulling on the steering wheel.

Just got a set. They fit perfectly and provide a foot-sized place to step up into the vehicle. They're pretty subtle too.

I just miked the stock rail and it's 2.01". Probably the powder coat adds that 0.01".

I'm hoping the aftermarket will come up with a diverter that you can switch as needed. I often drive in dusty environments so I get having the air intake above a lot of that but the noise when driving around town means I can't roll the passenger window down. Of course, now that cold weather is...

I had my 5000 mile service done and added an oil change. I could be nuts but it seems like the MPG is better after that. That said, the EPA in its infinite wisdom does highway mileage testing at 60 MPH. I don't know anyone in the southwest who drives that slowly on the highway.

It's a finiption nut.

Lucky you on the mileage. I just did an 800 mile trip mostly on highway and got about 17. Of course, that was at 75+ MPH. But it was all flat. That got me curious. The EPA's testing standard for highway mileage is <60 MPH. Who drives that slow on a highway?

I just confirmed my earlier post. I hooked up my trailer and drove to a parking lot to run the backup assist calibration. That all went fine. But it forgot all of that once I shut off the vehicle even though the trailer was still connected. I wish there was a way to submit bug reports.

I have a battery case on my iPhone 16 Pro which protrudes past the cameras and that still has a problem with the wireless charging. To be fair, a desktop wireless charger doesn't work well either. I've resorted to just plugging it in. Pity that charging standard isn't more forgiving on spacing.

IMHO, *yawn*. Cutting Edge aka silver and Ice Cap aka white are such ubiquitous colors on the road these days.

Because I'd been driving a Gen 1 1986 4Runner and OMG this new Trailhunter is SOOOOO nice. "Prevailing wisdom" is such a bullsh*t phrase. Herd mentality. Doesn't mean they are right. Thus far, the list of things that could be improved upon are: 1) The snorkel noise 2) I wish there was a...

That's interesting. I've noticed that after a power wash following driving on dusty roads everything looks clean but soon after there's a lot of washed dust residue on top of the rear bumper. Clearly it's not getting flushed out.

I loved the Trailhunter from the moment I saw it. That said, there's a video on YouTube with some auto journalists test driving both on Hell's Revenge in Moab. They said that the Trailhunter has everything that you'd want to do to a TRD Pro already on it from the factory. Yes, the snorkel...

A few weeks ago, I decided to dig out my Karavan 12-foot flat bed trailer to try out the trailer features on my Trailhunter. I played with the backup assist which was pretty cool once I got it calibrated properly. But I just tried hooking up the trailer again this week and it forgot everything...

"Fits but tuning required" Yeah, um, how do you do that?

Ditto on the JBL speaker. I noticed it was missing when the dealer was giving me a quick tutorial when I picked up the vehicle.

I posted photos of my setup in a different thread.

So, here's an idea. I built my own setup for search and rescue which is essentially a pair of Home Depot Husky storage containers and a framework made from 80/20 with a platform on top. In expensive, in general. I didn't want a drawer system per se because all of that structural stuff takes...

My two drachmas: I love the look of the "snorkel" on my Trailhunter. I like that it keeps the air intake out of some of the dust I regularly encounter on Arizona dirt roads. I don't love the noise. It keeps me from having the passenger window down. It would appear that the TRD Pro models use...

It was the same when I bought my Gen 1 in 1986. They were highly sought after but rarely seen in the wild. People used to follow me into parking lots to ask about it. (That was before stalking was a big problem)
