Let me pull my guide around Texas then, shuffles cards, setups power point presentation, microphone check-check...

Do stop at San Antonio for a tour where they built my Tacoma and @honkonbobo (not yours ) and new Tundra, call in advance to reserve spot Guadalupe National park is another great thing to see, and from there White Sands National park (used to be National Monumental back in MY days ) isn't far away, and why stop there keep going west all the way to Communistfornia to hit the ocean and dip your taco tires in the salty water, at least that's what I did. A 5 day visit down south ended up being 35 day overland adventure . Do I wish to repeat this journey again some day






Oh and then visit the aliens at the arrays, they got good soup

 

Guadalupe NP has some cool drives but alot of elevation so watch the weather if you go that time of year. The caverns near Carlsbad are worth checking out if you are in that area too. Hit Palo Duro on the way down.

Guanajuato is the new San Antonio...

 

oh and good dispersed beach camping at the Padre Island National Seashore if you make it over to the gulf.

 

Toy Drive raffle is up and running https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tec-2021-toy-drive-raffle.745507/#post-26543257

 

Everyone, get in this hat

 

Anyone interested in a Orangeville to Creemore Run on Sunday Nov 28th? Most of the route is pretty easy, similar to Hoggsback and area east of the GTA. But with much nicer scenery. A couple of the trails be muddy with some nice slippery clay. And pinstripping is a real possibility in a couple spots. If there is some interest I'll post some details.

 

The 2nd gen Tundra's front diff torque tube is aluminum? https://www.tundras.com/threads/front-diff-drop-question.10966/

 

I can see it going boom in the hands of the @tacoma16

 

The Tundra diff was designed to handle a lot more torque though - 550 lb-ft with the TRD supercharger, add to it torque multiplication from 4low.

 

well it was designed with mind it's never going to have front locker, we all know how that ends when there is one...

 

I thought we were blaming the OME shock on that one, where the bottom fell out

It will be interesting to see how the new J300 front diff looks, since that one was designed with a front locker.

Christmas Lights on the Dash ---
hi everyone, I was installing a switch prop 9100 and got almost to the end of installing it when I stopped to ensure the truck was still working. Now I am getting lots of warnings on the dash. I had used a t-tap into the headlight parking light (park wire) and into the ignition wire under the door. I have since removed everything I installed except for the tap on the headlight as it's hard to remove.
I thought removing everything would have worked but all the warnings are still there. Peter helped me checking fuses but no luck. I ordered a reader and will try that later today.
Otherwise any advice before I take it to Toyota and sell all my limbs for them to fix?
Lights on - ABS, Check Anti-Lock Brake System, Brake Power Low, check engine, traction control, pre-collision system collision
thanks in advance for any advice you might have.

 

I must say the new Ford Ranger looks pretty nice, especially with this snippet of the manual trans.

Id get that T-tap off of there, maybe it is the actual problem.

Only way to know is to really reset it to how it was.

 

Could be little to no resistance in the wires that you touched, check your wiring. Same issue happened with me when I unplugged license plate lights Circuit is incomplete. Those electronics can be finnicky. Also do disconnect battery for 10 minutes and reconnect after.

 

or take the terminals off and tap them together, it will spark and reset the system (including trips, so note those if necessary).

 

Too soon

they said the fj tube was stronger too….

 

T-taps?like one of these?
Those cause more problems than you can shake a stick at. Might as well be using house murrets
