Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

If anyone's looking for a Factor 55 Flatlink E winch hook here's a good deal https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/factor-55-flat-link-e.783039/

 

The small upgrade for today. Changed out the side mirrors for the RAV4 blind spot mirrors. Easy to change out took 5 minutes.

 

In my research on winches I found this video.
Just 1 persons opinion.
Going to keep researching.

Wow! I had no idea those were so expensive! The Warn Sidewinder costs about that much new, and acts as a shackle.

 

You get all the good sweet stuff!!!

 

I'd buy the Warn again. I'm very happy with mine.

 

I am intrigued by this idea. What year RAV4 mirrors?

 

2016-2018 RAV4. They don't have the Blind Spot indicator for the tech package but do have connections for the mirror heat.

They are a direct drop in for 3rd gen Tacoma and 5th gen 4Runner.

This is for the 4Runner but Tacoma is the same. I did not remove the plastic on the back of the mirror to access the wiring like he did. No need really. https://youtu.be/LVz-WCqmaTE

 

As long as I can mount it to the electric motor so I can move it from in the cab and heat it up. I'm good to go.

 

In the spirit of spending other people's money, thought I'd give a heads-up that C4 Fab is coming out with fitment kits for 35s on Tacomas.

You're welcome.

Carry on.

 

Just saw that. Wonder what it'll all entail. Looks like some fender liner replacements. At any rate it peaked my interest.

 

Do these include a regear?

If not, don't forget to order some gears while you're at it, guys!

 

May or may not have already happened

 

Uhhh, details?

 

Ordered assembled front diff and rear 3rd member from East Coast Gear Supply. Went with the 4.88 ratio and also added a Harrop e-locker in the front. They said it'll be 2.5-3 weeks before delivery though. So it'll be a cold December install

 

35s already fit on Tacos....

 

Can't afford upgrades-spent all my money on stock for next years summer business. However... what I did do today is find a fire tower!!! Long mile tower in the Penokee's (of course!) Took the bike and rode a nice three mile loop up and back to the truck.





My copilot had fun running and chasing the truck. Beautiful area...





Did some exploring along the way home. Found a fantastic camp site along Bass Lake (near Atkins Lake which is near Grandview WI.)





Some quite scratchy and challenging trails for a simple recon! Did choose the better part of valor and turned around at the Big Assed Mud Hole that I should have just gone through. Had to do a bro flex to fix my ego (and , as we know Jason would have if he had been there...)

 

Shhh! Don't tell.
