I hit the wrong button when editing. Said: "LOL, if by imitate you mean change the slide from sliding outside to inside the frame, add double action, 2 more rounds in the magazine, eliminate the magazine disconnect and firing pin block." Meant to add "They do share a breech lock though!"

I'm a dyed in the wool Toyota guy and between us we've had a couple of Hondas. We've had Civics, super cars. We looked at all three of these. The CRV and RAV4 are both decent cars but for our use the Forester seemed ideal and it has been for almost 3 years. We'd go that way again in a...

@dman93 - the reason is the All Pro bumper I have has a receiver hidden behind where the license plate is supposed to go (which I offset to the right). So it's recessed pretty deep and is pretty high up on the frame. It's about 12" higher than the stock location. The extension is 7" and I...

A small truck is small, no denying that. More interior space and a larger bed come with an exterior dimension growth. If that works in your home parking situation and can fit on the trails you intend to run then there's not a lot of downside to a full size.

Agree about the top Martin. That's the first thing pointed to whenever a "Jeep-killer" is mentioned but it seems a rarely used option by owners anymore.

Probably fair of FCA to recognize different target markets. IFS might hurt a truck's image but in reality for 99% of users* doesn't really hurt performance and the ride is better, which might actually decrease appeal to the "lifestyle" buyer that is the actual core demographic. But the...

Glue or rivets?

Just thought it was funny. Guessing it's targeted advertising.

Did Total Chaos tell you why they won't work? Those are the best option right now for Tacoma/4Runner/FJCruiser but the Marlin ones look very promising. I'd have thought a 1st gen Tundra would similar. If there's nothing else you could just have a welder gusset and reinforce them after...

Did they include the sweet ball cap?

Yeah, maybe. I have a distinct downward slope to my bike rack but it's not a rated receiver. It's one the aftermarket bumper manufacturer fabricates when replacing the factory bumper so their alignment and fabrication jigs come into question. But having around 100 lbs on a 7" hitch extension...

Overkill never fails.

I usually get around 17 MPG in typical mixed pavement and dirt roads. But in low range it drops fast. Wasn't any different in my old truck, a 1991 with a 4 cylinder 22R-E and WilderNest (actually for a number of years this same 'Nest). It would get 18 or 19 MPG normally but take a dive in low...

Oh man, so worth it though!

It's not a complete tangent, the OP probably thinks I have a death wish.

Another is getting out and back from the Dollhouse in the Maze District of Canyonlands. On the trip this past April I logged 206 miles between gas stations and it took me 23.4 gallons of gasoline, which for me is one full tank (21 gallons) and part of my spare can. The roads within the...

I have no issue with air and an impact gun, they work just fine. Use them at home all the time. Some of the people in the club have OBA sufficient for air tools, some bring along electric tools. Whatever works for you. My solution to generating lots of torque has been the same for 25 years...

That looks like it would work, too. Cost is about $80 so similar to the Safety Thimble + rubber isolator.

Exactly. My suspicion is that the real design criteria for a Tacoma was closer to 6,000 lbs as far as safety and performance. But since Toyota saw fit to only slap 5,350 lbs on my truck placard that's what I try to stick under. But I'll admit it's a soft limit in my mind and if I end up 50...
