    I wasn't able to get the camber dialed in with the 2.5" Cornfed coil over spacers. Installed the king shocks and Icon control arms this week. Should be able to get it aligned to spec now. I'll know tomorrow.

    Doctor visit on a -15°F morning. Very happy with Toyo OC AT3 winter performance on pavement as well. When I return now looks like mine made a new friend and all sunny and clear.

    Why don't you put it in the lower part of the grill behind the bumper (under "TOYOTA")

    So while returning home my buddy's wife put the TRD Pro from 4H to 4L on highway while driving. Dash had give Christmas light check engine light, traction light, multi terrain light, etc. I was not there when it happen so this is based on the call he gave me on the way. While he went home I ask him to remove the battery for about an hour and put it back. It was a not a bad day for us, Christmas lights were gone and everything seems normal.

    Lesson learn teach wife / GF to shift to 2wd putting pressure more towards left. Just sharing before you folks face this situation.

    I suppose you might not know, but I wonder if actually engaged into the 4lo gear, or maybe it just grinded the gears a bit. If she was traveling at speed, I would have expected the gear box to grind, or if it engaged, the engine to over-rev by A LOT.

    We had to switch back and forth 2H and 4H with snow and ice on some of the roads. When hitting the dry road my friends wife had accidentally shift to 4L instead of 2H since the manual transfer case have both towards the same towards front. She didn't realize she was pushing towards right forward to 4L at a speed.

    I think it wouldn't actually get into 4L, because 4L requires the vehicle to stop and be in Neutral before it engages. Not sure what happens if it's not in Neutral or if not stopped.

    Not sure what happened as I was not in the car. I'm sure it was chaos in the car. My buddy must have acted like Kevin Hart. This is all based on the call he gave me on my way home.

    When this happened all the lights came on even after switching it back to 2wd. Turn off and on the car nothing had happen. 4H seems to work. I asked can you switch to 4L and press terrain management, traction button and back to 4H to see the warning lights turn off? But nothing had happened. So I ask him to remove the battery cable and let it sit for about 1hour and see if the codes would reset. And that have worked. According to him now there's no warning lights.
