    2016 Tacoma Build and Shenanigans

    Few fun updates to the build! I finally got the custom MOLLE panel installed above the utility cabinet and finalized the second battery install. Made a custom battery cage and installed it in the big storage trunk with a Redarc charge controller and fuse block in the utility cabinet. To save...

    2016 Tacoma Build and Shenanigans

    Finally have some updated photos of the interior build. Went with t-slot aluminum framing and aluminum composite panels. Back trunk has one large main space that houses two plumbed jerry cans, camp toilet, stove, sleeping gear, etc. Theres a smaller storage compartment on each side for...

    2016 Tacoma Build and Shenanigans

    Thanks Rob! Yeah I figured we'd have to sacrifice some space. Although I'm currently building out the bed of the truck and the space is quickly shrinking. Being able to sleep 4 up top is really great though! I think finishing the interior has definitely dissuaded me from getting a camper for...

    Fridge/PortablePowerStation/Solar Help Please!

    I run a 63qt ARB Zero off my main battery. I use a group 27F AGM (X2 from batteries plus). The fridge has a battery saving cutoff feature but its only kicked on a couple times. I do carry a micro jump just in case. I was planning on adding a battery to the system but havent had the need. My...

    Family Water Storage Solutions

    I have the 60L (15gal) one in my truck. Its was purchased through Front Runner but I'm fairly certain they are the same product as what Ironman4x4 carries. I have it mounted in a cabinet at the head of the bed. I have it hooked up to a pump with a pressure switch. I absolutely love it. We...

    2016 Tacoma Build and Shenanigans

    I think what makes the BP-51s really great is the ability to tune both rebound and compression. You can really get them dialed in. Thanks, yea I'll check it out! I just did a diesel heater install in the habitat. Had it in a pelican case originally but it was too much of a hassle.

    2016 Tacoma Build and Shenanigans

    I'm really happy with them. I was originally going to stick with the standard OME lift but I just wanted something more robust and tuneable. I feel like they were worth it, especially if you're adding a lot of weight. Even loaded up, the truck drives like its on rails. I usually keep them...

    2016 Tacoma Build and Shenanigans

    The pandemic kicked off for us with the birth of our son. I quickly learned about car seats and the space they would require. There was no way I was fitting one in my 2013 Tacoma access cab, at least not with anyone in the front seat. Fortunately, vehicle scarcity hadn't quite kicked in and...

    Overland Expo Mountain West thoughts

    I went to Mtn West the first morning and there was a pretty decent crowd by the time I left. Definitely did a little shopping but more so it was about getting to connect with different people and learn about different things I've been wanting to check out. For better or worse, content creators...

    Scheel-Mann seats in 3rd Gen Tacoma - airbag issues- has anyone done it?

    I've been looking into doing something similar. Found a good thread on taco world about it: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/aftermarket-seats-in-3rd-gen-some-info.611276/ Sounds like you can either transplant the pressure sensor or use a resistor to cancel it out. However, the setup seems...

    ARB Intensity Solis lights

    I installed these with the dimmer, great lights. I know Slee Offroad in Golden, CO put them on a Landcruiser without a dimmer using a factory style switch. Might be worth giving them a ring, they're a great bunch over there.

    Sale Pending! 2016 Tacoma Double Cab with Habitat- Built by Goose Gear

    If you get the 2nd sleep panel over the bed, you can throw bags and pillows on top of the panels, then the mattress folds over the top. I love this truck and would buy it in a heartbeat if I didnt already have something similar. Good luck with the sale, I'm sure this rig will find a nice home.
