Thanks everyone. I was clear to confirm with the dealer to do a drain and fill, an not a flush. In fact, they stated that they do not recommend a flush, but just the drain and fill. Anyway, it bothered me enough that I called my service advisor this morning. He assured me that the tech did the...

I just got back from taking my 2020 4R into the dealership for, among other things, a transmission fluid drain and fill. When reinstalling my RCI skid plates (I had taken them off, not just to make their job easier, but to ensure they were re-installed correctly), I noticed that the drain and...

Big Bend National Park back in February 2023.

So, Sherpa equipment company made a Base Plate and drawer system for a while. I purchased the base plate and one drawer and I’m looking for a second drawer. I know it’s a longshot, but if anyone has a Sherpa PAK drawer, I’m interested. Either size will do. Thanks,

Folks may have already said this, but let’s say the new T4R becomes starts to become available late fall of 2023. First, I would never buy a first years production since thee will still be lots of new model issues to work out. As an example, look what’s been going on with the new Tundra…. it’s a...

If it were me, I would skip the stainless bolts and get some high-quality grade 8 bolts and use appropriate aluminum or copper anti-seize. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’m just a diy kind of guy, but I know with certainty that I can change the oil myself in less time that it would take me to go to the dealer and get it done. Plus, I’m assured it’s done right. Cheaper also. For any type of more involved maintenance or repair, I would take it to the dealer, but...

If you wait for the 6th Gen model and plan to keep it for a long time, just remember it’s not always wise to buy the first year of a new design. I’ve been following the launch of the 2022 tundra and there are a number of glitches with the electronics and head unit, along with a few mechanical...

I put in the north star AGM battery, size 27f, about two years ago. Have been very pleased. At the time, I also did the mod to increase voltage by using a fuse replacement from Australia that’s designed for AGM batteries, and also changed the battery tray from the tundra to fit the slightly...

I nominate this for the Best Post award. Great advice!!

I bet you would be very happy with Toyo open country AT IIIs.

Tom, I love the Sherpa rack and found it very versatile before getting the Alu-Cab 3.0 tent. If I knew I was going to get the tent at the time, I would have forgone the Sherpa rack and used what you describe - custom brackets for the Alu-Cab load bars. I think OK4WD also has a custom solution...

Just want to thank fkheath and blksubykid for their responses. That was just the type of info I was looking for. I will definitely be airing down as well. The RTT is an Alu-Cab Expedition tent. I believe with the load bars, it adds about 12 inches in height above my Sherpa rack...

I'll be in the Ouray, CO area next month and would like to do some of the easy to moderate trails in the area. I would like to do the Alpine Loop-Engineer Pass and Cinnamon Pass, as well as Ophir, Corkscrew, Hurricane, and California. Vehicle is a 2020 4Runner with 3" lift using upgraded...

Agreed. Don’t support the proliferation of Chinese crap.
