17" rubber stretched on 32s?

????

 

At least you haven't descended to the madness of :

 

Well they aren’t cracked, yet… but that job isn’t that bad to be honest, there is plenty of room. Doing the engine mounts on the other side…

 

oooooo

 

I second that.

 

Battery talk?
I picked this one up at CT under 200 bucks.
A second choice was $20 cheaper and was a lower cold start number...whatever, battery talk, I got the better one for an extra 20.
Replacing my factory OEM one from 2019, so more or less 5 years.

 

I personally run ; https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/...size-34-battery-750-cca-0103420p.0103420.html

beat the shit out of the first one and barely held a charge on my drive back from the Yukon. (lasted 3 years) but that's also driving at -40c for a month. cold snap killed it when i got to Calgary. 5 year warranty paid for itself when i got into thunderbay


Granted not sure what the OEPlus means but seems like a decent battery

 

Seems to be confirmed!

I just replaced the battery in my 2017 with a Kirkland battery from Costco. I think it was around $200 also.

 

The Tacoma's round vents are much better. None of this BS:

That's a more thorough suspension analysis than anyone else has done!

Note the sway bar disconnect mechanism (SDM) apparently isn't offered as an option in Canada. Though the sway bar may lend itself to an easy manual quick-disconnect similar to 1st gens.

It'll be interesting to see Edmunds take this truck on the trail. A few years ago they blew out the yellow Bilstein on a 3rd gen on a rough gravel road.

 

At the Montreal Auto Show they have a 4th gen OR long bed that visitors can open doors and sit inside:

 

I guess Toyota realized they have to catch up to the Ridgeline

Seeing the front brakes getting some additional beef is nice too.

 

seeing the rear end and new disk brakes, I can tell you doing e-brake shoes is going to be a bitch! I now appreciate drums much more


edit: oh wait, they are electric... more expensive calipers!

 

^Step 1 of brake job - retract rear caliper piston through Techstream

 

So you are saying I should start including in membership perks Techstream subscription for 5999 days

 

does this come with lifetime updates?

 

As long as you purchase lifetime club membership

 

I think we did that when we bought the tacos
