    Glue traps are effective but a bit gruesome. Makes sure he doesn't get away without death tho

    My parents have had those flashing light things in their engine bays for the past decade.
    Both their cars previously had pack rat issues, and haven't since.

    Honestly not sure if that's just coincidence or if they actually work. They do seem like a snake oil product now that I'm thinking about it..

    It is the only option for him now.

    Thinking I can setup one of those bucket traps next to the wheel tonight. Then just a good 'ol whack with a 2x4 to the dome tomorrow am should finish 'em off.

    Our 16+ year old cat doesn't really do the trick anymore. Gotta tell the neighborhood cat gang to step up their game :rofl:

    Same happened to me. They loved coolant lines too.

    These work well with some peanut butter. I probably got 10 in them.

    Got the rest in these

    Then used one of these under the hood for a while when I parked for the night

    It's interesting driving the 2 side by side. The Dodge definitely feels more like a fullsize truck and the feel is much more primitive. My only gripe is that it's hard to get into reverse. I grab 2nd more often than not lol

    Coastal = More points for people who don't know

    In case you don't know, you can go through the EVIC to save different trailers as far as braking type/sensitivity goes

    Better than going for second and finding reverse :anonymous:

    Speaking of going into gears.. sadly I think I've smoked the syncros in 4th on the Tacoma, when doing big pulls I've been missing that gear a lot more and more, it just won't take it at full tilt. Sadness.

    Controls on the steering wheel

    Go to settings, then trailer brake settings, and you can choose hydraulic or electric over hydraulic, and more
