I'm surprised that you're not using an enclosed trailer. Do they put salt where you are or only sand/gravel?
Traveling up here like you are, with an open trailer, would rust out my ATV within a year.
Oh Yeah! Upgraded the skid plate since I'm rubbing a lot more than before even if I have more ground clearance. It's also a pain downtown or making sharp turns. It feels like the Titanic lol.
Hahaha not a Taco but it's big brother, the Tundra. Got a 2022 SR5 Tundra, TRD Offroad, crew cab with the 6 and a half foot bed. Try saying that fast three times lol.
I like it very much, the extra interior space is quite nice and I finally have a real bed! The extra size on the fuel tank is...

As for tires, it was a weird situation. I got two sidewall flats, one in the front and...
Mine lasted 35k miles before they hit the wear bar. They were easily the worst tire I have run since I started driving.
Half of those miles were towing and with payload, but I'm usually able to get 55k-65k miles before I need to replace tires. I had multiple flats, tires were chunking, poor...
Well, took a couple of test drive to show them the weird behavior, but they finally replaced my CDF drum and some. Here's the attached note that came with the repair.

After they replaced my valve, the transmission would skip 4th gear. It started going into 4th gear again and started doing the same jerk so it's at the dealer again. They were not able to reproduce the jerk, but they are looking into it.
They are also replacing my EGR and fuel pump since the...
