RTTs have all the drawbacks of a normal tent, but at least they're obscenely expensive.

Heh, had the same thought. My first vehicle was a Chevy Blazer and the rear seat folded nice and flat. ? Great project, OP!

So, I was given a solar panel for Christmas. It's your basic 120V panel, mounted in an aluminum frame, and It came with a controller for charging a battery. That's awesome, but I'm still really baffled as to what size battery to buy. I'm thinking of something like this battery on Amazon but then...

Hmm... gets pretty pricey pretty fast. Maybe a simple solution, but not a cost-effective one.

Is there a good reason not to go with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Jackery-Portable-Generator-Explorer-Emergency/dp/B07FYJVFNK/ref=pd_rhf_ee_p_img_8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=SGF0C2XBN7JV94R8KA38 and a solar panel? Seems even easier than plug and play and seems like it would...

DC lights/chargers were something I hadn't considered, so that's definitely worth looking into. I would probably still like to have an inverter around "just in case" should there be something I'd want to power that's AC. Why not have the option handy. I hadn't realized golf cart batteries were...

I've been thinking about cobbling together some sort of a power bank, possibly solar powered or possibly not, to take camping and to take to music festival (assuming those ever happen again). All I really want to do with it is run some lights at night, charge cell phones and laptops, and maybe...

Found this on Tacomaworld where a guy mounted up a grey man panel: Doesn't look like he's logged in in months, but I really wonder what hardware/spacers he mounted it up with. (I.E. Is it just screwed into the plastic or did he pop that panel off and use locking nuts?)

I've got a second-gen, access cab, Tacoma and am looking to maximize gear storage. I'd like to mount a couple of MOLLE panels in the backseat. Anyone know of a good source for a molle panel that I could maybe mount on the plastic area between the backseats back rests? The flat area is about...

I know this is a long shot, but I'm looking for a rack that will go over a Softopper. I've debated just having one built, or ordering one from SOS, but since I'm not 100% sure I'm keeping the ST, I feel like looking for a used one is smart. I've got a 2nd gen Taco with a 6' bed, but am open to...

Dang, those would look sharp on my Taco. Unfortunately on the wrong side of the country, but have a bump!

I'm looking for an awning to attach to the side of a topper on the back of a truck. I was looking at both the ARB and the Tepui awnings, but honestly, I just don't think they're worth what they cost and you're really paying for the name. Is there a cheaper (but still decent quality) awning I'm...

Cool, thanks guys. I'm shooting for 2 to 2.5" just to avoid the cost of new UCA's, and it sounds like that's pretty doable, if your experiences are typical. And that's about the stance I want... hope it works out with the extended cab and a Softopper! ?

I'm in the process of selling off my first gen Tacoma. I'm going to use some of the funds to build up my new(er) second gen. On the first gen, I installed OME 880 springs with light duty Darkars. In theory, I should have gotten about 1.75" of lift from this but wound up with more like 2.5"-3"...

Headstrong is probably going to be your best bet. Their prices are comparable to a lot of others, but since their shipping is free, they're the cheapest overall (at least from what I've seen).
