    Lifted (not sure of height), Falken RockyMountain 285/75/16 tires, unsure of wheel details, auto leveling kit, moded to HID H4 headlights from previous owner. Recently Upgraded to LED headlights.
    Discovered that there's RAT(S?) Under the hood of my Tacoma. I live on a 5 acre ranch (with dogs), so I don't have any luxury of being able to put my truck in any garage, its parked in the driveway where dogs have no access to... I've tried poison, it still lives. I've tried keeping engine on to heat it out, it could care less... Any ideas of how to get it/them out?

    Truth! When I was a tech at Acura/Honda we used that Honda wrap. Mice/rats did not care that it was there & would still chew on wires. Critters are ruthless. I recommend outdoor cat.

    Her tail does resemble a racoon but she is honestly not that big, that damn snake was though.

    Ace Hardware sells sticky mouse traps... lay it on the fender well inside the engine bay

    I find a place where a bolt sticks up and jam the bolt thru the trap so it can’t flop around

    Put some peanut butter on it and it will be there in the morning

    I’ve caught several rats like this in 3 different Tacomas
