Recent Dog-Face dual sport ride at Diamond Lake, Oregon.

The Tiger has a new Home! I knew this day was coming. Through word of mouth, El Tigre has a new den. She went to a local Bend couple that have been rocking a 94' Tiger for some time. They were looking to upgrade and had known of my rig. I had wanted to sell it as I had not been using it...

I had originally replaced all of the OEM with Cognito parts. The Tie rods were not able to match the range of motion that the suspension was going through. They were twice as big as stock. The newest Tie Rods are from http://rareparts.com/, they are twice as big as the cognito units and they...

Good eye! I did indeed change the wheels recently. The last few years I have not been off-roading like I used to. The Beadlocks were quite heavy and I have been using the tiger more as a basecamp and hauler of two wheeled toys. Pounding more miles the Beadlocks were unnecessary. I switched...

Nice weekend riding motos at the Alvord desert. A few really nice VW Syncros, Two Land Sails, a small two seater plane, drones, boom sticks, dogs, camp fire, and a few drinks [emoji6]. Now to clean the fine white powder off of everything!

Sold!

Here is the page where my CES tank was installed. CES is a local fab shop here in Bend, OR. They did around 30 tanks. Mine was #2 and has been flawless. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/73665-Custom-35-gallon-gas-tank-for-09-Tacoma?p=1106515#post1106515

My bad! $26,500

Not selling!!! As of recently, I have received a few emails and messages regarding my Tiger. It is not for sale, and do not intend to sell it in the near future. If I ever sell it, it will most likely be here. -Kevin

Yep, I slack! I have been spending more time on 2 wheels lately. Its hard to get into a vehicle when we have so much great riding out the back door around here. We have been using the camper for short weekend trips lately, and my two buddies have been using it a fair bit in the last year. One...

The stock tanks are the same on all 2nd Gen Tacoma. The only truck that has presented different mounting issues was a crew cab long bed. I'm thinking the standard cab should not be a problem, but don't quote me.

Factory gauge works like stock. The entire factory pump/sender assembly is put in the new tank. It just takes twice as long for the needle to go down. When the fuel light comes on, you have twice as much left as the stock tank.

Sorry about slacking on updates. I have been trying to spend more time outdoors, and less time on the computer. I love sharing my adventures, and especially my photos. Here are some pics of a few trips in the last 9 months. I have many more pics of the DV trip, and will post them after I get...

Bump for a friend with a nice truck for sale.
