I have a 7.3 diesel with 115k I got it it had 80k, pits been ok but I budget for break downs. if I was to replace it, the replacement would not be another diesel unless it was a cherry low mileage pre def truck. otherwise it would be a gasser replacement. Diesel is not worth it to me for the...

Just this past weekend I had someone get my attention as they wanted to buy my rig, offering up what I paid for it five years ago. we get a card on our other truck regularly asking to sell it. so there’s that. my real only car or truck regret, my one that got away. the CFO of my old employer...

We bought our bigfoot 1500 camper back in 2016. We have not once used the inside shower. if it’s too cold to shower outside, we Don’t shower until it’s warm enough again. We boondock like 79% of the time and moochdock about 20% and campgrounds the last 10%, and it’s never been an issue. The...

We love our 2000 year model bigfoot 1500.we found that there is no perfect rig and there are compromises with ever camper, but for us for the kind of boondocking and exploring we do it’s a good fit, but we have turned back and haven’t gone down some roads because the truck and camper were just...

We have a bigfoot 1500, and it is not a four season prepped camper. we added a digital thermostat that kicks on as low as 50degrees f. We open the doors to the bathroom and where the water tanks are. And we back up our heater with a Mr Heater Buddy heater. We’ve also added foam insulation to the...

You can get swing out mounts made for a dualie truck, these move the jacks outboard.

Back in 2016 we stumbled onto a fantastic deal of a low mile 2000 years model 7.3 manual with a camper on it. it’s the first diesel I’ve owned. when this truck goes it will be replaced by a gasser. I am a fan of well cared for two year old lightly optioned trucks, I don’t want the bells and...

Back on 03 I needed a small truck, the sort of local Toyota dealership was having a loss leader special on TRD optioned Prerunners, cheaper than the standard pick up. We got it, in the years since we’ve only been not able to go somewhere twice. Once was too muddy and steep and once it was too...

We have a dual chassis battery dual alternator and two house batteries. we charge primarily from solar and have an isolator system to charge the house batteries. However the wiring is very long and very small gauge. In the near future we are switching to a DC to DC charger that will also include...

We too had a tacoma and were looking to upgrade. we were on a budget. We ended up with a one owner F350 SRW diesel and bigfoot 1500 camper. the truck is close to its payload limit with the Bigfoot and our bigfoot doesn’t have AC or an oven. our truck is a 2000 7.3 so it’s pre DEF but it’s also...

If the OP is still looking here's my thinking (I own a 2003 Taco prerunner and an 2000 F350 diesel 4x4 SRW) Keep the F150 and kit it out, you will save a ton of money over lost depreciation and Toyota tax. Invest that saved money, then use the money you were planning on spending to outfit the...

Sounds like a perfect canidate for a customized Honda Grom.

Well, I'm guessing you've long since forgot about this but. I've never seen it before, I'm thinking from the fact that the little other lights look like old Blazer brand (generic autoparts store) that it might be a homemade deal.

Sooo anyway, about the rally, we had a good time last year, heres hoping that COVID is under control after the flu and holidays take their toll. we are looking forward to this.

I read a little about that nut, but it seems like a new steering box, is a more solid, permanent solution. Along with suspension upgrades. All it takes is cubic dollars.
