    To many, but never done
    Why would you drive through water with out a snorkel?
    Isn't that like deep sea diving without oxygen tanks....

    Maybe I'll attempt to drive off a cliff, I mean it says off-road.

    I drive through water on a trail. My truck has neither a snorkel or stickers that describe what it can do.

    We are no longer figuring out just our Tacomas here, brothers and sisters, we are figuring out what is wrong with the World in general.

    I’ve got a whole bunch of pancake pans to cook pancakes. You can’t cook pancakes with a regular pan, ya can’t cook pancakes without a pancake pan. Cook pancakes.

    ...Without the patented “pancake flipper, you can’t flip pancakes. Don’t get stuck with an unflipped pancake ever again!”

    Seal the junctions and it’ll be fine.

    Toyota won’t provide a safe working angle on the truck!? I thought that is what that cool pitch/roll display was for!
    I just assumed I shouldn’t be hitting the red zone on that.

    I read that as “Toyota won’t respond to my insane emails”


    Which is par for the course once you’ve gone off the deep end. The pentagon stopped responding to my alien investigation emails a decade ago.

    It is a car engine, came from the Lexus line. Lexus doesn't build trucks. Steep angles and off camber situations don't bother cars on the road surface.

    Lexus doesn’t build engines either. It came from the Toyota line.

    I thought it did come from the small SUV they had out a couple of years ago. My bad, what Toyota did it come in?

    “Breakfast taco? Fold your waffle around a pound of bacon, top with syrup. Never be stuck without chest pain again!”

    I’m serious. It’s amazing.

    I’m saying it’s all Toyota, as in Toyota developed the engine.

    You’re not wrong. It’s just...

    ^ The water lever forded also went down a foot from his initial thread. He now states the crossing was a harmless 10".
    Key facts have been both been changed, and omitted.

    An engine that Toyota made for the Lexus line, not for Toyota. Then, lets put an engine designed for a car in a truck, yeah just like that.

    I would. And it wouldn’t just be for deserts. I just don’t want to cut into my fender, I live in the salty places.
