Just an update on the rig. I had to drive the day after Christmas from Chicago to Buffalo, NY for a funeral. I had 3 passengers. Made very good time There and back. Two points: my mpg was not very good; @ 19 mpg on the highway and the feel at speed without the air dam made the front end feel...
Yep. I had a local outfit powder coat the standard trd skid black and ordered the bolts from my local dealer. To my surprise they were black as well. I didn't even check color before I ordered them. But they look good with the powder coat.
I was pleasantly surprised by the cabin heater. The ac is so so, but the heater works great. We had single digit temps. Heated seats would be nice, but you can't miss what you never had. :)
We had a bit of squall over the holiday, and I turned off most of the PDA functions to see how it handled in “analog” mode. It handled well after I got used to how much pedal to give it. I would not feel comfortable with those features turned on in bad weather. Even cc is something I seldom...

I bought the 6gen to replace my 2015 jeep. My use case is mild off road to get to fishing camping spots and good in the...
I have the beatsonic in my sr5. It makes the mids and highs clearer, but showa off the weakness of the stock woofers (no sub.). Ideally the Alpine upgrade should cure that weakness, but then you may want a better amp to get the best out of them. I am fine for now, and if forced to choose, I...
OP I have the Cooper At Road and trail. 265/70/17. My use case is similar to yours. I have 2k miles on the tires and like them. No louder than the stock tires. Aired at 33 psi cold they are very smooth. Great in heavy rain. Haven't had them in snow yet and if they perform as well as the...
I use this Amazon and plug it into my phone and use DB Power Amp to play the files via bluetooth. I have a lot of live shows and rare albums that I like. I formatted the stick in FAT 32 and save the files in flac.
I installed it on the base system. I found it worthwhile. You get a boost in volume, but it is more the fuller sound as the stock speakers are underpowered with only the head unit power. I would imagine efficient speaker would make a difference, but how much I could not quantify.
Just put a 265/70/17 Rocky Mountain AT on a 2024 4Th gen Tacoma rim in there. I have cooper 265/70/17s so now the spare is the same size. Don’t understand the temp spare on an off road oriented vehicle regardless of the trim
