    This isn't 5th gen specific, really it's any vehicle with a 2" receiver, but it's on my 5th gen so...

    I got a hitch mounted plow - the Snowsport 180:

    https://shop.agricover.com/product/...Ymv-0Y7lP9sT2fI13AkoIJtnVaU40FBBoCxPcQAvD_BwE

    No hydraulics, it is basically free floating and gravity holds it down. Two forks protrude up from the receiver mount and the plow can ride up them as terrain changes. The angle of it is such that as you back up it bites into the snow and as you drive forward it rocks up slightly and doesn't dig in. It has a transport position almost like racking a barbell so you can drive places with it on (last couple pics). It's a pretty cool idea and it has great reviews and a bunch of people have made videos of it and it seems to work brilliantly. You can run it in the front if you have a receiver in the front; I have a winch up there so I am just planning on running it in the back.

    We don't really have enough snow for me to try it out yet but I put it together and demo'd it and I think it will work perfectly for my needs... basically do a 1/3 mi driveway, a parking pad, and maybe my parents and a few neighbors / friends as circumstances dictate.

    Just added the TRD Pro grille from Yota Expedition. Looks so much better with the Heritage grille on it.

    do you what the bolt size and length is? I got some energy suspension bumps stops and they wont screw in. It says they supplied M10x1.25” bolts.

    That was my understanding as well. Probably it went to Neutral from the transfer case as he said the engine had screamed like mad. Sadly I'm not able to give exact info since I was not there and could not go and see the 4R in person as next day I had to go to hospital for my new baby. :D:D:D

    agreed. Mine is a trail special and there is nothing “trail” about it from the factory. The mods i did make it more trail. Lol

    5 months after installing my lift, I finally swapped my rear sway bar links for longer ones. Two lift companies that I spoke to said that you don’t need to at 2” rear lift, but yes, yes you absolutely should. It tamed the motions of my ass end tremendously, highly recommended

    Today I took the Limited with Falkens since I had to take the baby and TRD with Toyo OC is dirty with all dog fur in the back seat.

    I took the TRD with Toyos on the record low temp day. It was very impressive. I wish I could have the Toyo's on my Limited as well.

    I wonder how these Toyo's would perform offroad. With baby I doubt I can test offroad anytime soon.:(

    Cool! We put Toyo OC's on our Honda Pilot last year for our son to have for college in Bozeman, MT and he said they performed incredibly well in the snow. That's the tire I plan to go with when when my Nitto Grapplers wear out (19 months and 33,000 miles now).
