So, I recently bought a 2013 Tacoma SR5 (non TRD). I am very much loving the truck and have taken it on a very light off road trail once so far. I was satisfied with the off-road performance of the truck and I think the 4x4 system with the standard TRAC feature worked surprisingly well. However...

Getting rid of Monty, it was a difficult decision but it has to be done. The butterfly valve fell in the intake. The dreaded piston eater. I've spent lots of money on this car but don't have anymore time to fix it or the desire to, so replaced it with a 2013 Tacoma and I've been very happy with...

Thank you so much for your responses. I am very happy with my purchase thanks to you all. Expect to see some cool new adventures with the new truck, cant wait to take mine to Moab. Cheers to all

Thanks for the write-up. Great information for a newbie like me. It seems like my Tacoma does not have A-TRAC because i don't have the button for it.

Thank you for your messages. I was told that only 2016 + models have A-TRAC. I am new to the Toyota world, so please correct me if I am wrong. However, you guys have made me feel better about my purchase. Tacos are expensive and I learned this hard way. Hopefully I'll be able to pay it down...

I don't see any videos with non TRD Tacomas going off-road. Is that because they suck off road? Everything I see is TRD offroad models doing all kinds of things. Bought this as my all around vehicle but now I am feeling kinda remorseful that I didn't spend the extra cash for a TRD. I don't do...

Thank you all for all of the info.

Thank you so much!!!

plh, thanks for your quick response. What I meant was where in the engine is it located?

Having a hard time locating a thermostat for my montero 2005 LTD 3.8. I can't seem to find any information on the 3.8 engine online. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Question, I am looking at this configuration; Lovells Raised Height Coil - Front CFR-90 / Lovells Raised Height Coil - Rear CRR-32 . Lovells standard - 50mm HD front shocks 64611005 / Lovells standard - 50mm HD rear shocks 64611006. Now here comes the stupid question: Wouldn't I need "Raised"...

Thank you guys!

Any Idea where to get a lift kit for a 2005 Montero? Went off-road with Monty and I feel like I need a bit more clearance. A Jeep Cherokee with a 3" lift outwitted Monty on some obstacles where I bottomed out.

Found this but it says its only for the 3.5 engine? https://www.the4wdshed.com/safari-snorkel-mitsubishi-pajero-nm-SS35R I have the 3.8 though. Would this work?

Searching for a Snorkel for my 2005 Monty. Any recommendations?

No skid plates or sliders. My AC is working fine. Maybe i'll have to rethink the location, and postpone it when it is cooler out there. The kids do not tolerate heat very well, neither does my wife. Any other trails I can do in northern Utah, Idaho. We are not fixed on the location, since we...

Heading down to Moab this weekend. First time really over-landing. Taking the kids and wife, what trails do you recommend? is hells revenge too much for a 3rd gen monty, mostly stock?

I changed the oil back in May 2nd. I wasn't going to leave the sea-foam in it. So far the car hasn't had any issues. looking for a snorkel system and a top rack for my next project. But that is a topic for another thread.

It has been driving smoothly for 120 miles now. The "Service Engine Soon" light came off on its own. I think is safe to say its good for now. For those who wonder how i did it. It was simple. Half a can of sea-foam into the oil, disconnect spark plug from cylinder where the sound is coming from...
