    Shortbusadventure's Tiger Motorhome build

    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...

    Shortbusadventure's Tiger Motorhome build

    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!

    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...

    Custom 35 gallon gas tank for '09 Tacoma

    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.

    Custom 35 gallon gas tank for '09 Tacoma

    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.

    Shortbusadventure's Tiger Motorhome build

    I have always been happy with the aero tank. It lets me drive 850+ miles between fill ups. It is nice to choose where you stop and price of fuel. I will try to get some pics of the skid plates soon. It's raining, so I will see when I can get under the rig. I also did a nice trip South recently...

    Custom 35 gallon gas tank for '09 Tacoma

    My tank is almost done! It is at the powder coater currently. They revised the tank and managed additional capacity, possibly 2 more gallons. They have also revised the vacuum line to the charcoal canister that the OP mentioned. The fab works is beautiful. I will try to get some pics. -Kevin

    Being a Bend resident, Tacoma owner, customer of Custom Exhaust, and an acquaintance of the OP, I am taking my 2011 access cab in next week to have the same tank built. The factory tanks are the same for all Tacoma's from 05 to current. Here's to the posibility of production run. -Kevin
