    Yeah I noticed most Floridians don't like sharing locations with strangers but I'm rolling with a jeep and xterra filled group. Only toyota in the group besides another tundra. Thanks for the advice

    Is it a tow strap or a snatch strap? A snatch strap is designed to stretch like a giant rubber band, and is far superior to a tow strap. My first time out I had no idea what was going on, and snapped a tow strap. Learned what a snatch strap was and wow, what a difference.

    Oh and tires make all the difference in the world. Check out 255/85r16. You can run them on stock wheels and won’t rub at all, yet they’re a hair over 33” tall.

    Woah, I'm actually subbed to you. I am planning on fluid filming the truck after seeing that video you made. I did a lot of research before buying this tacoma and your vids helped a lot to showing me about the truck, even tho we have different gen tacos. Thanks for the vids, it helped a lot.

    I'm looking to buy a tow strap, but really don't need a big one just one to leave in the truck to get pulled out or to pull out people in the snow or whatever. Thinking on something like from tractor supply?

    Get a snatch strap. They stretch like a giant rubber band and are ideal for pulling out stuck people. It’s linked at the bottom of this page.

    I'm looking to do a full under coat on my truck as well, can't find a good video. I found the stuff I need but haven't really found a good form yet.

    Impossible to offroad in a stock Tacoma. You need a bunch of stuff from Mobtown Offroad first. :D

    Yep! It’s a snatch strap. I speak from experience when I say it’s worth it. My first time out off roading I didn’t know any better, and just went with a tow strap. Managed to snap it in two. Next time out went with the ARB strap, got stuck in the same spot, and got pulled right out with no fuss.
