    Tech ?. Warn 9.5xp not spooling in or out...just clicking from the solenoid

    So I replaced my winch line today and when I went to re-spool the new line onto the drum, I made it maybe 2/3's-3/4's the way in, taking breaks to let it cool down every 20 seconds or so, and it just stopped.

    Sadly, time for the 3rd gen runner to find a new home

    It is with a very heavy heart that I say that I am selling my 3rd gen. After speaking to the wife, we decided that it may be best to get into something a bit newer, larger and maybe a bit safer. I have found a '10 5th gen trail that I think fits the bill perfectly but I cannot afford 2 car...

    waterproofing your rig

    So I am looking into purchasing a snorkel for my t4r. While I am a huge fan of the look, I also plan to use it. I have already had my rig up to the headlights (unintentionally) and that was a tooshy clencher to say the least. after driving through those flood waters, my starter developed a...
