    2nd/3rd Gen Tacoma frame beaming/resonance?

    ‘06 DCSB with hi-clearance rear, shell, rtt, etc. The resonance you’re describing is exactly what I experienced after adding the weight of the tent and CBI rear bumper (Dakars w/ AAL & OMEs). All-Pro bolt on sliders helped with the mid-section but, in my opinion, shifted the stress...

    2014 Schutt Industries Xventure XV-2 Adventure Trailer

    Chisx, we really only have history on it since last fall as it was part of a package deal. Per dealer, it was a one owner rig that saw a good deal of backcountry use. At some point, previous owner appears to have clipped a rock or similar, hence minor damage to fender & rack (see pics). Since...

    Truck Topper Brace

    Camper Shell Internal Cage I went through this process in order to adequately support a Prinsu Cabrac, RTT, and the occasional load of lumber. Mine was my first welding project so I opted for 1/8" wall tubing, both round and square, and built a full size mock-up using 2x2's and PVC pipe to...

    05+ Tacoma Hood blackout?

    Regarding the '05+ sport hoods (ie. scoop)... I barked up that tree with Crawlarado and Vigg Designs to no avail. Vigg said they would look into it and I never heard back from anyone at Crawlarado. I ended up ordering 3 cans of Plastidip and just finished a test run on some scrap. Pics of...

    Progress So after talking to Johnny at Wheelers, I confirmed that the recommended ball joints for use in the Camburg arms have always been the Moog units due to their reputation, etc. Installation issues have been noted (difficult to manually press, metal shavings in retaining groove), but...

    SOS - Problems with Camburg Ball Joint UCA Install - 06 Tacoma

    So, long story short, I ordered the relatively new Camburg Ball Joint Upper Control arms for my 06 Tacoma 4x4 Sport. The replacement ball-joints listed on the vendor's website (Wheelers) are the Moog Units(Part # K80811) and are significantly cheaper via another source, which is the route I...
