Yeah... high power/long range comms equipment is very expensive, not consumer attainable. I'm a radio tech at county agency and anything beyond 5 mile radius with reliable audio require equipment in six figures for a single frequency. All civilian grade land base radio cannot exceed 1W output...

Not just your fuses, check the relay. Relays are hard to diagnose because it is the main "current or Amp" pathway. Testers aren't 100% either because it only tells you a connection is made but doesn't tell you "how much" current or "amp draw" it's allowing to pass through. I had a brand new 21...

The handheld GMRS (15-22) purchased from wal-mart are 1W units by FCC regulation. FRS channels 1-14 are 0.5W. GMRS/FRS is in the UHF band 460-470 MHZ and very poor performing in the woods, branches and pine needles soak up the RF. You can get max 1/4 mile in the woods. VHF marine band radios are...

Same reason I traded in my 21' Tacoma for the 23' 4R. Old reliable 5A transmission shifts smoother, doesn't hunt gear, doesn't stick around 4K RPM doing "A.I." assisted downhill engine breaking b.s. My Taco was a Dec 20' year built in Texas. MIJ is just better quality.

Another angle.

23 X-Series, 3 weeks young. Everything factory.

See a lot people wanting more features in 6th gen 4R but any concerns it wouldn't be as reliable? I heard the 6th gen manufacturing site possibly would be in Mexico.... Turbo 4 and non-Japan site, reliability would be worse than the current Tundra. :sick:

When I was in high school, brought my dad's camry to the dealership for an oil change. I asked what type of oil do you guys use? Service manager said, "We use 20W-50 in all oil changes". The camry calls for 10W-30 on the cap. Needless to say I learn to do all basic maintenance myself then on.

Bmnorm2 Thanks for the pointer. Yes, I designed the hose path for minimum restriction possible using wide 90 degree bend into the adapter and straight shot back to the original path. I used original Toyota A5 filter for the adapter (my old Tacoma's) and test the flow. The reason for changing...

2023 X-Series My first 4Runner, been driving Tacoma's all my life, it's definitely a step up.

Derale inline filter Hello, this is my first post in this forum. Been driving Toyotas all my life but joined this awesome forum because 4Runners are special. My first 4Runner and plan to keep her as long as possible. 2023 X-series with 5 miles on the Odo when I drove it off the lot and...
