My wife's 200 series was attacked by a squirrel less than an hour after parking it in our driveway. The little bastard did $10,000 in damage to the wiring of the truck. Fortunately we have comprehensive on our insurance policy and all but our deductible was covered. I thought for sure that that...

I guess Ill be that guy, I didn't want to pay a whole lot for a rack but needed one since my spare wouldn't fit in the factory spot anymore. I ended going for the Rola rack off of amazon, I did opt to add the center extension to add some length and Im glad I did because I use every inch of it on...

I would be definitely be in on this also, I can't stand the current cup holders.

Thanks, I have been reading an older post on Expedition Portal also and the big question was rather go with 4.56 or 4.88. The OP over there ended up going with 4.88 and is super happy running 255s I believe, but he is also pulling a 7000 lb camper. Im really leaning towards the 4.56 and adding...

I have the same setup with tire size and Im pulling roughly the same size camper. I am going to re-gear soon but Im debating between 4.30 and 4.56. Im going to continue towing in 4th gear and want to run about 70 while towing. Im not sure if I should go down to 4.56 or not. Have you done your...

Great thread with some awesome info I was hunting for. I do have a few questions. I am currently running 285/70/17 tires on a 05 V8. I also pull a camper that weighs around 4k fully loaded and is 20 ft long. We have pulled it long distances at times and the 4R really struggles in the wind. I...

Yep, I was one of them that this happened to. It did the exact same thing your referring to also. The truck was running fine and I stoped for fuel then bam, crank no start. Turns out the when I had the AC compressor installed the CPS line was not looped back in correctly and rubbed on the...

So I have been towing a 20 ft travel trailer that weighs almost 4k loaded out, the dry weight is 2850. Towing the camper the is the whole reason I got rid of my Rubicon, the fam wanted a camper and I still wanted to be able to go offload on our trips, so thats were the 4runner came in. I live in...

I mounted my Tenkonsha P3 brake controller here. This controller can be unplugged and removed when not in use or moved from vehicle to vehicle. I do unclip my keys when im driving so just the ignition key is there. The whole set of keys hung down and scratched the face up a bit. I have no issues...

I don't either, the battery was load tested and good. I think when it would crank this would cause the wires to move and at some point the the short was bad enough or the wires were in just the right spot that the CPU would not allow it to crank over. The thing was completely dead for 2 1/2...

No other issues at all, the truck is up and going. The AC compressor was replaced before I left and the CSP harness was reinstalled on the wrong side of the compressor allowing it to make contact on the serpentine belt.

Yes it was done in March, along with the AC compressor. When the mechanic installed the new compressor the CSP harness ended up on the wrong side of the compressor allowing it to make contact with the serpentine. :tsk::tsk:

Im sorry it has taken me forever to respond, I honestly got carried away when we got home and forgot. I do want to thank everyone who responded to my post. That was the first time I have been in situation like that and not been able to fix it or patch it up to get us moving again and everyones...

We should be on the road shortly... The wiring harness to the crankshft position sensor was rubbing the serpentine belt and caused a short. Just used some electrical to tape it up. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

They have had multiple diffrent battery packs and chargers on it and now it will not crank. It doesnt do anything when they try to start it. Possibly an alarm issue, they did try my spare key with no luck. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
