    It's alright. Snow really makes things hard. That was just a unimproved dirt road that when dry a Subaru could probably go down. With snow though we didn't do much of it because it was just to deep and the other guys KM2's were sucking. Any kind of a incline and he couldn't get traction.

    That's been my experience too, the ground is so solid and slippery underneath the snow it's hard to get a good bite. Makes the hill climbs extra fun, descents are terrifying though. Point straight at a clearing and hope there aren't trees in the way while you slip and slide down.

    I think you have a good shot getting them to replace the evap canister, no reason it should go bad period.


    TC light is a mystery to me though, is it actually off or the light is just saying it's messed up?

    Isn't it the same light? Press vsc once and auto LSD turns on then hold it and that one turns on, right?

    Didn't you have headers though? The Toyota out here in sd sucks. I'm still trying to figure out why my engine whistles at 3500 rpms.

    Hmm... Guess I gotta pay better attention to which lights turn on when! Hope it's a quick fix for you.

    CEL commands Trac light. They will ALWAYS come on together if the CEL is on.

    Check your gas cap.

    I got the stock rotors and wagner ceramic no dust pads, Ive never been scared in it from it not stopping even when I had 35s but towing you could tell for sure there was something behind me. I only really tow a honda foreman on a harbor freight trailer so its 1000 or so. but my tacoma stops better than anything Ive had before.

    I had ALOT of clutch chatter when towing with 35s to, but I have a few hills I normally have to start off on.

    Haha I am 90% decided on my next tire size. Been getting quotes today from shops around here. Its between 35's (poser 35's as Blackdawg says), 34's, and 33's. I am keeping it a secret as to what size I am getting but still exploring that 10% chance I go with a different size. I wont really know until the cash is gone and I have 5 tires in the bed.

    Haha I actually know him so that's why I talk to him. I am not against 35's but its not as cheap as just buying the tires. That's all I am looking at right now...the hidden costs.
