    Thanks for the thought, I wasn't sure if it was a so called feature or just my luck, but I still miss it.

    Hey Guys,

    New to TW. Bought a ‘21 Tacoma TRD off-road. I had a 3.5” RC lift on it and Put some 285/70R17s on it yesterday with method -12 offset rims. I’m experiencing some rubbing in the back of the front wheel wells. So I need to get it trimmed.

    I haven’t been able to get a hold of Chi 4x4. Any other shops in the area you guys recommend?

    Pipeline shenanigans and BS this weekend. Some details and conversation here:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/role-call-poll-added-wisconsin-events.621460/

    Skip to the last few pages for current conversation. There should be some details in the OP, plus a list of upcoming events.

    We welcome new people. All skill levels welcome. Plenty of easy trails, and bypasses to the tricky spots A lot of stock Tacos have been through the Pipeline.

    Thank you!

    Boost, armor, lights, big tires, no savings.
    Maaaayyyybbbeee it could be related to a throttle relearn. If the battery was dead/disconnected long enough, it will "lose" the map. There is a procedure on Youtube where you slowly press through the throttle range a few times to relearn.
    Maybe.

    Thanks guys! Wisconsin might be a little bit of a hike from where I am. I joined that FB group as well, so I'll check the FB group for updates.

    I've got a few people from a GXOR-IL FB group interested in a trip during june, so I'll drop the date here if anyone wants to jump in

    Anyone got stock 3rd gen TRD offroad suspension laying around? I’ve got a 2nd gen now I’ll be tossing a 3rd gen frame under. May as well give it fresh suspension
