I just recently went from 33's to 35x11.5's. The next phase is refreshing the front end, new grille and some diode dynamics lighting. Here's some shots of the my rig.
I live in the pacific northwest where everything's wet all the time 9 months out of the year. I think the reason my roof boxes stay dry and mold free is because there's enough ventilation aided by the air that's forced through while driving. It circulates into the bottom at the box's mounting...
Toyota's recent quality issues indicate to me that the company has pivoted away from customer satisfaction and towards share holder satisfaction. But they aren't unique in this way, in fact they're probably still the best in the industry.
They've had over a decade to engineer & test their new...
Shaken up beer is inevitable. You can spend a grand on a custom fridge gimbal setup & your IPA will still erupt & overflow when you get to camp. Perhaps a layer of memory foam used as a bushing beneath your fridge would dampen some of the vibration? Why over complicate it? Its just beer at a...
If I were to run a second fridge to strap into the seat, I'd get a Dometic CFX3 35 quart or 25 quart. The dimensions make sense for my 4runner setup. My Dometic 65qt dual zone has run flawlessly for 5 years.
I haven't personally used them, but if i were in the market for a budget 33" tire I'd get the Atturo Trail Blade XT's. In fact if they came in a 35x11.5 size I wouldn't have spent a fortune on the 35" Wildpeak RT-01's I have now.
Many of these tires whether premium or budget price originate...
I run a 100ah Odyssey battery (part # ODX-AGM31M) in the stock location with 6 gauge wiring into a breaker then through the firewall into a fuse block that provides continuous power to my 65L dual zone Dometic fridge. 2 full days of run time without starting the truck, with the freezer set to...
Spot on. Anecdotally, the vehicles I most commonly see grossly overloaded are 3/4 ton diesels and 1 ton single rear wheel trucks. Australia's most popular tow vehicles are Landcruiser 200 and mid size pickups, not full size HD trucks.
My 4.7L 4runner's specs are: 1200lbs payload, 7000k towing...
Here in mountainous pacific northwest and adjacent states my brother hand calculated 9mpg average towing a 27' overall length, 8' wide, 7000lbs loaded travel trailer with his 2020 5.7L Tundra. Same mpg's calculated in his 5.7L Sequioa. Seems to be par for the coarse with that drivetrain, as well...
ucs308,
If you mock up a physical cardboard mock-up, you can the transfer it into 3D via Google Sketchup or CAD, and have the whole thing compartment bent out of something like 16 gauge stainless steel. How you'd go about mounting it in a water and dust proof manner or in a way that'd allow you...

Good of you to update the thread with your results.
I can relate to your long term consideration for space, comfort and plans for a dog, especially if you plan to adopt at a larger breed. My Girl and i decided that our next step will be a hard sided travel trailer with HVAC and a bathroom that...
For sure. Also, remember we’re talking about a leaf sprung rear on a Tacoma vs. coil rears on a 4runner. All else being equal, coils are generally going to be more compliant and comfortable under most circumstances.
