    (Solution) Mini VCI + Toyota TIS Techstream 8.x on Windows 7/8 64-bit.

    Thanks for posting this, I bought a Mini VCI with TIS off of amazon not too long ago and got the same error. I honestly figured it was because I had no idea how to set stuff up in windows. I'll have another go at it using your suggestions.

    Recovery Gear Options

    Have used both and they were always a pleasure to use without any failures that I am aware of. Currently keep Crosby shackles for my own use and probably have five or six now. While I haven't been part of any complex field recoveries myself I have done some mock recoveries that were real puzzles...

    Baja Design fog replacement kit

    Bailey maintains a constant discounted price for all TacomaWorld members no matter what time of the month or year it is. The shipping deal is what I believe to be a limited time offer.

    Aftermarket remote start - what to expect?

    Have a Viper 5901 - older model - with remote start and one two way key fob. The other fob is the standard one way type. I have the added smart start system that allows me to see where the truck is on a map, receive alerts on the phone as well as lock/unlock and start the truck all from the app...

    Well, good luck with the opinions Marco. Bowing out before I read the "set it on fire and just walk" comments.

    Charging Trailer batteries from the 4R.

    Thanks for this thread, I am in the process of adding a camping trailer to our garage that has a solar charging feature for it's internal batteries but I'd love to take advantage of using the tow vehicle to top off the batteries while on the road. Subscribing to the thread so that I can follow...

    Thoughts on Tepui Ayer RTT?

    Friends have done similar as they have bike and kayak carrier fixed onto the beds or roofs of their trucks and having the trailer makes for a great little "base camp" while keeping the truck mobile to drive to the river or trailhead. Nice perk if your truck is your daily driver is always being...

    Retrofitting limited seats into other trim models

    Would have to reupholster the new heated/cooled seats to match the black Trail Premium interior but I agree, Katskinz makes a great product. Trail Premium comes with heated seats, it's the cooled feature that I'm after.

    Toyota LED Illuminated Emblems!

    Mike, can it be wired to act as a "fourth" brake light? In the Tesla community there is a guy that custom makes rear "TESLA" logos that are backlit dim when the headlights are on and then when you step on the brake glow bright as a fourth light. Looks really slick.

    Retrofitting limited seats into other trim models

    The heated/cooled seats aren't an option for the Trail Premium or this would simply be an academic discussion. Sourcing the other components aren't the issue to me, it's the concern of running into other unforeseen issues in the process. Odds are that the wiring harnesses are more similar than...

    Aggressive AT/Hybrid Tire Comparo

    Agreed, it's easy to see that this was an advertiser sponsored test but it does illustrate one of the commonly ignored reasons why we air down in the bush. I know some publishers have done other tire tests for their magazines but it always seems like there are a couple obvious selections missing...

    Retrofitting limited seats into other trim models

    Ordered a 2016 Trail Premium but curious as to if anyone has attempted/completed a retrofit of the heated and cooled Limited front seats. I'm interested in attempting this but was hoping that someone that has gone before me could share some insight.

    Southern Style Speed bumper

    I can't find one on the Warn website, but is it possible to wire in a solenoid relocate kit so that you can bring the solenoid under the hood? The winch I have is so large that I knew i was going to have to use a relocate kit so I bought one already as I want to use it for my Tacoma bumper that...

    Trans-America Trail - Mississippi Hill Country Loop March 20, 2016

    I'm doing in center dialysis three days a week right now until I get a kidney transplant. I'm hoping to get my own portable machine so I can be more mobile but I yearn for the day when I can just slip away for a month or two and just look around. Thanks for sharing this and I look forward to...
