    You got lucky I happened to still be surfing here, I was almost ready to do some real honest work but nobody is answering my chats/calls right now.

    Did a quick search and looks like there is a fuse under the hood and possibly another fuse in the panel on left side of dash.

    I tow a trailer all summer and last year the trailer brakes quit working-I thought they were worn out but upon inspection they have a couple of years left. Checked power at the 7 pin plug and the one for the trailer brakes does not have juice. Trying to find out why...

    Thanks Adam!

    Ordered a new mirror cover for the damage in KY. Took the (FNG) parts guy about three run throughs to come to the conclusion that I didn't have stock mirrors. I did say I put early 2013 4Runner mirrors on Tacoma perches-three times. He asked what a perch was so I explained that it is the part that the mirror sits on that bolts to the door. He looked at me like I was from Mars... Finally the guy who has been there for years came and helped-he knew because he helped me source the parts for the conversions. This is the type of thinking I try and get my students past-think outside the box and look for solutions. Prices have gone up: $49 for color match but if I wanted a black one $129. What???

    I was at the parts store, several months back, asking about extended brake lines(Advanced or O'Reilly's).

    Was also looked at like I was not from this earth. The guy was lost so I stopped him and said I'd check around.

    Maybe I'll get my front camera in this weekend so I'm not driving like this down the hills.

    Possibly. :)
    When the front d.s. tire slid off the hump, I was rail sliding on the mud.
    Back d.s. tire didn't want to go over the hump.

    Looking back at this mudslide.
    We could've winched up that boulder in the bottom left to fill in that deep spot.

    Funny, it looks like that tree branch on the rite is part of the shock shrinkage.
