Washed the undercarriage last Monday trying to figure out the leak, but no rain lately. From doing some digging it looks like it may be an abs line/wire that was stretched. Did find a little bit of fluid on the rear brake shield so maybe it got inside of one of the connections and is causing issues.

Got the code read at auto zone and it said it was the front passenger abs wheel sensor. Crawled under it and it’s plugged in so I’m guessing the buildup of dirt and stuff over the years has gotten underneath it and broke it inside the spindle. $315 if I get a 4Runner sensor after driving to Houston to get it and install it myself.
Are you sure it is the sensor itself, or maybe the wiring to the sensor?
Wire looks good and has plenty of slack in it. I haven’t had any of it apart to stretch it in a few months.

Going from MT/Rs to Revos has me feeling like I need more aggressive tires.
I have been Eyeballing the new Yoko G017 AT XD as a better fit for my needs.

Without a locker, my truck is useless in mud until the top layer dries and you get that Creme Brule effect.
I hit a B road yesterday and stopped before going to far. I think it was a good 20 seconds before all of the sliding stopped and getting out was comical. The steering input was merely a suggestion. While I am not looking to specifically go on trails in that condition I always worry about getting trapped on a trail do to a thunderstorm or getting caught at the bottom of a hill with both slopes being too slick to get out of.
I know I don't need a full out mud tire so looking at options and I also see them as being potentially a great snow wheeling tire with studs.
Also, the while scenario in which I ended up with the Revos was less than ideal, leading to a in the moment decision. I do enjoy how smooth they are, and they have amazing traction on the road, as well as being very quiet for an LT tire.

Have you tried airing down? There is a HUGE difference in my rig berween 32 and 18 psi. I went from hating my Wildpeaks to finding them to be a perfectly acceptable tire in mud.

Honestly I haven't, and that may be one of the solutions if I do end up in that situation as long as clearance isn't an issue.
You should 100% air down
. You'll be amazed at the difference in mud/rocks/etc. Onboard air is a great mod to support this, or even something simple like a cordless compressor will work (I used a 20V Harbor Freight cordless compressor for a year or so, it was slow but worked). Even MT tires will struggle a little bit in mud if they are over-inflated, and then you're stuck with having to deal with the worse road matters. You'll also find that ATRAC works much better aired down as well. I do lose clearance in my rig airing down, but it has not been significant enough to cause any issues as I'm lifted. Even when I was at stock height the traction and comfort benefits outweighed the loss of clearance.

I have an air compressor for airing down on rocky trails. I just usually don't for B Roads. There are also quite a few where I drag my skids at highway pressure so would probably high center like I did in my Rubicon when it had 32s.You should 100% air down

Yep. I've posted a couple times that I have covered my sliders with black skateboard tape: Amazon product ASIN B01C68H8V2Works great for wet, icy, snow, mud, etc.
Only issue is when I replaced my sliders with wider ones, I had to make note to myself to step out farther from my seat when getting out or I'd scratch up my calf on the tape.

Wow! But I'm not sure if any of the other color options are legal other than amber and white.10-13 headlight option

If I had an extra few C notes to toss, I really like the basic white like you have. Really gives it an updated look.
For some reason, I've always thought the 2010-13 headlights have looked better and even more modern than post 2013.
Adding the LED strip just confirms it!

Considering getting either an LFD hidden winch mount with recovery points or a DV8 bumper. I noticed that most winch solutions for the GX460 don't have a lot of winch access.

Unless they're a full steel bumper.
My MetalTech front bumper is easy to access the clutch, even with my big 'ol hands.
With my Victory Strike I can reach the winch fairly well for controls and such, and to manipulate the winch line. If I need to remove the winch for service it *may* be possible that I could get it out from above, by "simply" removing the upper shroud, grill/fascia, and the supports in front of the radiator. If not, the whole bumper will have to come off. I'll cross that bridge if and when I come to it.
Unrelated to anything my buddy just got the stock TJ Wrangler he had in high school back from his parents. He wants to do some light mods and knows nothing about cars so it will be amusing to work on this old tractor compared to the GX.

Love the TJ. Wish I had bought an LJR a decade ago and just kept it.
It's like the last real Wrangler before they tried to make them remotely safe to drive on highway.
