Man, must be nice to be in a group chat

 

We had probably 80ft of line out going to a tree up slope then daisy chained to 2 tow straps though. That jeep wasn't even hitting the gas at first, Brian had to tell him to gun it. So I'm not surprised your winch was struggling

I really like mine. It's not the OR, as we "needed" the 3rd row, but it's much comfier than my '15 Taco. Tons of cargo room, I've hauled three hockey goalies and all of their gear in the back. Also fit an 80" bookshelf inside behind the front seats and was able to close the hatch. The main thing I don't like is the non-height adjustable passenger seat. I rode over there once and I don't fit well. Granted if there was no sunroof, all would be fine.

 

Anyone seen this yet?

I haven't, but I am very intrigued.

 

Focus on Armor, that will save you damage Repair $ to can then spend on this stuff!

 

Same. It looks to me like they are really running the Android Auto on one of the separate boxes and using the factory head unit as a interface

Oh this would be way down the line if I did get it. I've been following people trying to figure out the Android Auto stuff for a while and this looked the most promising so far

 

I've been holding out replacing the factory HU for something like this. Now to investigate!

 

Please report back. I was in SF a couple weeks ago and rented a Dodge Charger R/T (BTW the noise that car puts out is amazing) and it had Car Play. Made me realize how much I want this.

 

Went out to see if the trailer was accessible... When i parked it i didn't think about snow drifts. Snow is up to the tongue. Tried to break though at half speed. I should've known better.. Should've sent it.

Free workout, then to find a neighbor that i can borrow a tractor from. No way I'll be able to shovel the trailer out by hand.

 

Well at least the truck is un-stuck after 30 min of shoveling. It was nice and framed out.

There's shit (engine and bug) between the winch and the rear or i could do that to pull it backwards to the truck.might just bash back and forth to clear my way to it.

Might save it for later though, wanted to go snowshoeing.

 

I'll come back later with a bigger shovel then a damn round nose.

 

I want to buy the beetle. Can only buy it today though

 

Just picked up some sliders, skids, a rack, and a RTT. Not ready to drop a ton more money on a new suspension right now but I have a feeling once all this is on, my rear end is going to be sitting pretty low especially with the bed loaded up for camping. Anyone have any experience with add-a-leaf kits? Or recommendations to offset the weight in the rear so I'm not dragging my ass off road??

 

Meh? I’ve had both. Had a 16 T4R Trail Premium and now the 18 Taco. 4Runner was definitely nice, but felt too car-like. Despite the funkiness of the Tacoma drivetrain, even in manual, I prefer my Taco over the 4Runner. Opinion only, obviously.
Edit: My 67 yr old mom has that exact same model T4R...

 

Not sure what your budget is but I wished that I had foregone the add-a leafs initially and went straight to a new leaf pack. There are a lot of threads that you can search for comparing Dakars, All-Pros, Deavers, etc out there. I went with a Grand Junction outfit:

They actually build custom springs for your exact needs or weird fetishes. Mine were about $650 shipped.

 

What about air bags?

 

I'd pass on the add a leaf - just go to OME EL095R (mid load) or EL096R (Heavy load). If you get the heavy load you can remove a leaf to reduce lift/capacity = good idea. @Toytec Lifts will have what you want and provides discount to TW members.

 

get the "hot air bag" version - comes with a free Politian!
