    TRD Tacoma wheels on a 5th Gen?

    I saw a TRD Tacoma in my hometown today with a small lift and oversized tires on the new TRD wheels. I know taco wheels are 16" but anyone run these on their 4R? I'm running a 3" lift currently with 285's on my factory ORP wheels, but I'm loving these new wheels. Any pitfalls I need to be...

    Phone Issues - IPhone update?

    This is driving me crazy. I'll try disabling LTE but it's not loading any of my call history, favorites or anything. Is there a setting on the new iphone 11 i need to change to allow this? I'm on my phone in my 4R constantly and can't have hands on the phone anymore due to laws. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Road Trip! Just got back from a 5 day camping trip from MN > Black Hills SD, > Evergreen Co > MN to a 3 day concert in Red Rocks in Colorado. No kids, just the wife and I camping out of the back, light wheeling, it was epic, and I hate using that word. If you've never seen a concert at Red...

    Technical Mud Crossing Question

    I'm not messing around with the dials and widgets in mud. At most I'd do 4lo, locked rear and A-Trac front and be ready to find that rev limiter. Wheel speed and momentum are king in mud.

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    I just got back from towing my buggy 8hrs with my T4R and was really skeptical about it. I put a brake controller in and loaded it up! It towed ok, better than expected. I had to stop about 2 hrs in and pull the buggy back about a foot to lessen some tongue weight and that helped a lot...

    Factory trailer brake plug location ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Ok, no one panic. I found it. I'm too frustrated to celebrate quite yet that it took me this long to find the dang thing. It was about 10" higher and behind the harness than I was looking. No need to remove the side panel at all, it was actually about level with or a little higher than the...

    Factory trailer brake plug location ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I'm going crazy with this, I've got the door sill pulled, the side panel off and have been laying on my back under the drivers seat for 20min trying to find this plug. Why can't I find this damn thing?!

    Brake Pad upgrade? (stocks suck imo)

    Since upgrading to 285's my worn factory pads seemed a little dicey when stopping. I put a new set of Hawk pads on this weekend and damn what a difference! Each time I stop they're getting better and better. So worth the $65...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Installed a 2" leveling kit and some 285/70/17 E KO2's on this morning. I was worried it may rub but doesn't at all, full lock forward or reverse driving on the street. I'm in love with my 4R all over again!

    Factory trailer brake plug location ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Finally, I think I'm on the right track and found this video that matches what Drizzie mentioned. It's for a Taco, but it sounds like the same spot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP-TZ12H7Cs

    Factory trailer brake plug location ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I swear I've gone fishing behind that plastic panel, but it's got to be there. I bought the truck new. I've got the adapter, now I just need to find the dang plug.

    Factory trailer brake plug location ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I've searched for days and can't figure out where this dang plug is. The only thing I found close was after I cut apart the tape near the firewall grommet behind the parking brake, and found these two plugs, neither of which fit my P3 harness. Did I find the wrong plugs or do I have the...

    Love these. Mind if I ask where you got them?

    Engine noise sounds like diesel at idle

    Wow! I've thought my 16' sounded really loud lately and wondered if it was cause for concern. Thankfully it's apparently normal, and I'm good with that. I'm happy my dealership I bought it at gives me a lifetime drivetrain warranty that I'll hopefully never use. As a side note, I've never...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Took my 16' T4R from MN to CO for a long weekend with the wife, just got to Evergreen CO on Wed night. This morning we're about to take it to the top of Mount Evans as soon as were done with breakfast!
