First off, I've owned a good number of Tacoma pickups and a good number of winch mounting systems. This isn't the first piece of iron (or aluminum) I've installed on either a 1st or 2nd Gen Tacoma. So I'm going to detail, step-by-step, the process of install. Step 1. Yesterday morning I took...

I was hoping to get some wisdom about snatch blocks. First, how does one determine the weight rating you need? I'm thinking since using one halves the work by doubling the pulling power by the winch, that you'd need one rated for at least 50% of maximum winch capacity + safety margin (20%?)...

Truck: '04 Tacoma 4x4/AT/V6, 56K miles on the clock. Issue: The transfer case oozes fluid, but intermittently. It *appears* the leak is from the rear or sides of the shifter base (similar to what others have posted about here in the last year or two). Driving around town, the thing stays dry...

Hey folks, this is not me hawking this product (because as-is, it's not fit for ExPo use). But, I know the author, and he's willing to entertain ideas to make this a good ExPo tool. So, I'd really like feedback in terms of desired features, functionality, etc. to pass on. By all means...

I think I already know what the consensus will be, but I wanted to sanity(insanity?)check myself. I was pondering flat-towing my CJ-7 with my Tacoma. It's an auto/V6/4x4 with an ARB+winch up front, 235/85/16 tires, a FROR rear bumper, a class III receiver and an ARE shell (in other words, it's...

OK folks, as promised I put up some pics of my Tacoma, a few of its mods, etc. There are more mods than pictured, but this is a start. http://gallery.me.com/obscurotron#100013&bgcolor=black&view=grid A few things - the teardrop is gone. Stupid me sold it a couple years ago. The truck pulled...

Hi everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself properly. I'm Ed, from the San Francisco Bay Area. Been lurking here and posting for the last several months, so out I come officially. :) My rig is a 2004 Tacoma Extended Cab 4x4. The mechanicals are more or less bone stock and the mods sort of...

So in an effort to save some space in my Tacoma, I'd like to carry just one full size spare, not two. In place of that, I figure I can carry a couple of inner tubes and tire spoons to break and reseat the bead. Anyone have experience using tubes as a temporary repair method? Everything...

Hi folks, I just got my bumper from ARB and I want to install it this weekend. Most everything looks straightforward, but I had a couple of questions for those who have actually done an install. First, can you snuggle the winch into the bumper AFTER mounting the bumper, or does it have to be...
