I would talk with Leer about your intentions, were it me, I'd be tempted to build an interior structure to support it, some of the fiberglass caps are pretty thin and may last for the short term but will blow apart at the most inconvenient time. YMMV. Dan PS, I have a '98 Tacoma 3RZ too, I like...

If you drive both, and can tolerate the brakes on the off-road version, go with that one for all the reasons above. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Sort of matches my experiences with MK. Length WAY too long, waist size wildly wrong, etc. No more. I do like carrhart and dickies. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

The single sleeping platform in the back of my landcruiser was built on the same premise, except just one person. My issue is the head & knee room and getting dressed in the tight space. Just my thoughts. It's ok for me but if I added my wife to the equation, May be a different story. Sent...

And you thought you were overwhelmed before! You asked a good question and have been given a ton of advice, sounds like backed up by a lot of experiences. You are on a tight timeline, it's been said, but I would also recommend to make sure you have a good battery, then wire your new fridge...

Ok first, you're not "charging" anything when it's plugged into the wall 120v. There are no batteries in the ARB fridge. You're just getting it cold. Next, what car do you have? More importantly, does the cigarette lighter socket still provide +12v when the key is off? Some, Toyota for example...

Please tell me exactly what was not accurate. I could discuss the differences, good and bad all day, here I was pointing out some key differences between the two engines to a guy that doesn't know a 3F-E from a 1FZ-FE. You added some good detail, the OP would do well to do some research of his...

The difference is between the 92 and 93 model years. The earlier had an old style 6 that has only 4 main bearings with fuel injection added where there once was carburetors. The later had a more robust inline 6 with 7 main bearings, smoother with more hp. Read the slee site or ih8mud.com for...

We chased a similar issue with a 3rd gen 4runner, replacing the idler pulley got rid of a smaller noise, but ultimately it was the a/c bearings. Unfortunately we let it go just a little too long and it completely roached the a/c clutch. Ended up replacing the compressor and the noise was gone...

Maybe wrong section but you've narrowed down the right tires. I made the same selection for my car and ended up with the BFGs. My son put on duratracs on his 4runner at about the same time. I've driven both and I'd prefer the BFGs every time. Road noise is almost zero and the are extremely...

Man, nice work, good plan, great execution. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Nice work, the light bar was a good touch. Did you lose any approach angle with that? Looks like maybe no. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Haven't checked in lately, any progress or new stuff? How about towing off-road with that fabbed hitch? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

The 2" receiver is a good idea, I would carry a bike rack. Looks like you'll have to relocate the license plate? CHP wouldn't give me any slack at all. Is this added to the stock trailer frame, or did you extend the add-on frame for this? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Haha, now you're solving problems I didn't even know I had! Thanks for your creative process and sharing it with us. Now I must build. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
