    He definitely had it listed at a fair price. I have a Gatortrax mx and was toying with the idea of picking this up. Good find!

    What hurricane Harvey did to my truck, Houston area.
    I have a 2016 TRD OffRoad 4x4, DBL cab.
    So a few questions to members who might know....prefer people who really know....not guesses.
    My truck while parked in driveway got about a 1" of water in it for about 2 hrs.
    Thirteen years in my house, 2 hurricanes, 3 tropical storms and I have never had water over the curb.
    The water to came up to within 1' of my front door.
    From the curb to my front door elevation wise is 4' ! A distance of 25'.

    I dried the floor out with towels....let the engine run for 3 hrs with heater on floor in my sisters bigger garage.
    Carpet is dry but when I press down I can tell whatever backing it has, maybe foam, is still damp or wet.
    And my interior map lights stay on while driving.

    Are there any sensors of wiring under the front seats or carpet?
    And should I get the carpet replaced like asap?

    The water no doubt got up under the truck....not really moving water.
    So I have read on here about the differential breather mod, which I don't have.
    I assume I should get the grease or fluid of that changed out?
    Oil change?
    Wheel bearings or are they sealed?
    Anything else I should do of check??
    Is there another place I should or could post these questions?
    Thanks for any input!

    I already got my Honda Cross Tour to the Honda dealership....only 2 people made it in there.....happened go be 2 service tech guys.
    The Honda got water up and over the top of the front and back seats...leather.
    After the water receded...It started....I also did the same thing drying wise except for 7 hrs.
    Definitely tearing the carpet out.
    Seats came out pretty dry though the foam inside....not sure....though it seems pretty dry when I reach up under the seat to touch, squeeze.

    Regardless....focused on my Taco!

    Assuming you have comprehensive coverage, suggest you file a claim and have everything that water touched on the insides changed out. Even if it seems to have dried out, you don't want to deal with residual issues down the road. In addition, you run the risk of mold developing and potentially creating health issues.

    I accidentally left the windows open on my Lexus IS250 during a severe rain. My carpet interior was extremely damp. I purchased a massive amounts of baking soda. I covered the inside carpet with about 3 inches of baking soda throughout the entire car left the windows down and just let it sit for 2 days.

    After 2 days the baking soda soaked up all the water - plus killed any mold or mildew that would have built up. This was a couple months ago. My car has no smell or carpet damage.

    Sorry, one more question. How did your performance and mpg's change going to this size? Thanks for your help.

    @SurfratTX you could try taking the seats out and removing all the flooring, I believe it's insulation/padding the you could dry it out much more efficiently...

    No worries! Too early to tell on mpg's, but what I've seen so far is minimal, if anything. Once I factor in the new diameter, I'm still getting around 19 average.

    Power wise, I haven't noticed much of a difference. These tires are c rated, so they aren't too heavy, plus going from stock steel wheels to lighter alloys, the overall weight is really similar to stock.
