    How-To: TechStream In 5 Minutes

    I got this to work - it's just unfortunate that I cannot provide any constructive advice from my hours of struggle. Congrats to those who got tis to work easily. I did not, but ultimately 'turning it off and turning it back on again' got everything to work. Just a real PITA. :)

    How-To: TechStream In 5 Minutes

    This whole techstream experience is super confusing. Two days ago the cable was inexplicably found by my VM. Now that VM won't even start up. Created new VM. It again cannot see the cable. I find it hard to believe all the folks in this thread saying it was so easy and just works. That has not...

    I bought the one linked in the first post and now the link is dead. That seems to happen with every one of these links.

    How-To: TechStream In 5 Minutes

    I tried all the ports. Eventually one worked! But techstream gets hung up while connecting on a screen that says S303-31 or something like that. Should that step take more than 5 minutes?

    It's USB. Looks just like everyone elses. Says 'MINI-VCI J2543 Standard OBDII Communication Interface' Here's where my mac says the device s located: /dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port And my VB always says 'Invalid Settings Detected'

    It's mac. I found a post in this thread pointing the user to configure the VB settings to match the port from the host machine. That did not work either. Here's some of what I'm seeing:

    OK, so I got a VCI cable but the CD was physically damaged. The MEGA download doesn't seem capable of giving me the firmware driver needed to use the cable. Is there some trick to this?

    Re gearing and axles for 33 inch tires

    It was not Nitro. The bearings were OEM but the gears were not. This was in a Tacoma so different but not entirely different.

    Re gearing and axles for 33 inch tires

    I would not just assume that regearing is an upgrade. It’s pretty rare for a factory Toyota diff to blow. I’ve had problems with a regear that died quite prematurely and I know that many others have too. And that was with a reputable gear shop doing the work. Given the closeness of that tire...

    200 series camper suggestions?

    A couple we camp with has an Opus Air Off Road. It takes 5 minutes to set up which requires unlatching the cover, folding it open, and turning on the air compressor. The space and quality are amazing and they can always get it back to the FS dispersed campsites we like to frequent. Highly...

    Idling Overnight at -35F - Long Term Damage?

    I'd think that most places in Alaska that a human should be spending the night have some form of lodging or habitation (or people build or bring a suitable shelter). :confused: If for some reason that isn't possible I'd look at a Little Buddy or similar propane heater. Your biggest problem in...
