    Reata's 2016 Tundra TRD Pro Build

    Great truck! Some questions about your HAM radio. Where did you mount the transceiver? Antenna? Any pics of the install? thanks.

    Is a 4Runner for me?

    If you go Subaru, pay attention to oil burning issues... http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2014/07/18/subaru-oil-burner-lawsuit/12859865/ http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/138-gen-5-2015-present/165697-engines-burning-excessive-oil-2015-models.html ps.

    Tundra AC or Taco DC w/ Growing Family?

    Kids only get bigger! :) If you've got more additions coming... Tundra DC all the way. I thought about a Tacoma DC, but after putting the kids in the car I knew it would be too small. Prices for Tacomas were crazy at the time too. Ended up with a Crewmax! hahaha.

    Another DV report. Eureka, Saline , Lippincott, Racetrack, Echo Canyon

    Enjoyed your write up and pictures. That's great that you saw the Bighorn sheep!! I think of all the pictures of TK junction, yours wins for having the fewest kettles. I went through a couple months later with the family in April. There were a lot more teakettles! Can't tell if the ones in...

    Raptor Expeditions - Death Valley Run

    Looks like a fun trip. Didn't know they limit group size in NPs. Some interesting new findings that "solve" the mystery of the racetrack. https://scripps.ucsd.edu/news/mystery-solved-sailing-stones-death-valley-seen-action-first-time...

    Built a bed rack for my father's Tacoma

    Looks awesome! Nice job. Interested in some of the particulars: What tube bender did you use? Size(s) and thickness of the tubes?

    Month-Long Western US Trek with my Dad

    Enjoying your report. Sorry to hear that unfortunate circumstances were partially responsible. You might get some use out of that stick yet. As a native Californian, I didn't think there was much fly fishing in IA either. I walked into the Fin and Feather in IC and a young "kid" showed me a...

    Wow.. Just came back from the dealership....

    Patience and luck are necessary. Like a lot of us have experienced, prices on used Toyotas (especially Tacos and 4R) are crazy. That's why I ended up with a new '10 Crewmax instead of a used 05-06 Doublecab. Not a bad outcome, but was hoping to save some $. However, I do know people who waited...

    What is a fair price for a 4runner?

    In my area, the Toyota "tax" is somewhat of a reality. It seems to be a mixture of delusional sellers combined with impatient buyers that believe Toyotas will "run forever". From my conversations with sellers on Craigs, I get the clear impression that they don't really care what Edmunds and the...

    07 tundra build

    How's the ride with the tent over the cab? Sorry, if you've answered this... How many does your tent sleep? I've considered a large RTT for over the bed but I'd have to have a custom rack built to accommodate my retractable tonneau. So, I've considered a setup similar to yours. I'm somewhat...

    The Rubicon Trail, Sept 2013

    Nice video and driving. You guys didn't seem to need spotters all that much. Nice truck too. Got a link to your build?
