    sPOD vs Switch Pros

    I went with the SPOD for my Tundra, as they make a dedicated housing to replace the sunglass holder. It cost around $400US, but I am a complete electrical twit, so the idea of having everything already setup, having to run only one wiring harness through the firewall to the switch unit, and...

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    Thought I'd try out this Smugmug thing. Good stuff. A most recent picture of our rig, affectionately named Hawkeye Rovi. Still lots to do, bumper/winch and sliders sitting in the garage, a little more rear suspension work to be done, some minor stuff in the camper.......then off to the Yukon and...

    Best Pop Up Truck Camper for Winter Use

    No, we were excited and rushing to get out quickly. The main issue we ran into was the foot of fresh snow on top of the camper roof. Having no experience, I just went and lowered it, and almost was crushed by the weight forcing the roof down very quickly. Once we got home I got my telescoping...

    Best Pop Up Truck Camper for Winter Use

    Thank you. We were so amped up to try our camper when we got it, we took the first available weekend and headed into the mountains for some snowshoeing and camping. Of course, with our luck it stormed all night and we woke to a solid 1' of fresh snow everywhere. The camper did it's job, and...

    2019 Tundra

    The double cab version of the Tundra (which I have) has decent enough space in the rear seat, but I guess it depends on who will be sitting back there and for how long. I'm 6'2" and can sit in the back seat in relative comfort, but I'm not sure i would want to sit there for a few thousand miles...

    Integrated Spare Fuel Tank

    You know, us big-ugly-stepchild Tundra owners could take exception of being lumped into the whole must-have-Toyota-trendy scene.......;) I've been looking at the Transfer Flow 46 gallon replacement tank for my Tundra. I only have a 26 gallon tank and I'd like ot be able to extend my range...

    Why did you choose your specific pop-up camper?

    I spent the better part of a year trying to find a used pop-up camper for our Tundra to no avail. Any possible lead i found was snapped up way before I could even consider traveling the great distances to acquire one. We also had a pretty particular floor plan in mind to fit our needs, and that...

    Best Pop Up Truck Camper for Winter Use

    Thanks. I've replaced all my suspension components. I went a little gonzo and installed ADS Racing goodies along with OME Dakar leaf packs and air bags. I've seen guys get by with airbags alone, but I wanted a better set of HD leaf packs and have the airbags to back them up. Sent from my...

    Southwest Disk or Tembo Tusk Skottle?

    We have the skottle. I bought it from Mule Expedition in Washington. They are great people, so i just went with what they sell. I like the fact it breaks down into a compact package and comes with a good quality bag. We've used it a few times now and I've been very pleased. I can see it...

    Best Pop Up Truck Camper for Winter Use

    Thanks. We're pretty stoked about it so far. A little condensation to deal with in the winter with the furnace on, but we are working on remedies for that.

    Van vs. Truck Camper

    I browse the BC Auction site sometimes, just to see what's on there. Check this beast out: https://www.bcauction.ca/open.dll/showDisplayDocument?sessionID=803064605&disID=7453567&docType=Tender&dis_version_nos=0&doc_search_by=Tend&docTypeQual=TN Link doesn't seem to work now. Sorry. Here is...

    '17 Tundra build planning - opinions welcome!

    Thanks. The camper has been a dream of ours for the past few years. We decided to consolidate our camping/adventure/toys into one package. Sold the motorbikes, sold the Xterra with rooftop tent, selling our travel trailer here in the next couple months, and out everything into the Tundra and...

    '17 Tundra build planning - opinions welcome!

    Definitely go for the full Dakar leaf packs, they are great. I think that if you are planning on using your Tundra as you imagine, then any sort of add-a-leaf will just be a Band-Aid fix. I went a little gonzo on my suspension, as you plan on doing. I went ADS Racing all around, along with MCM...

    Best Pop Up Truck Camper for Winter Use

    I've winter camped in tents, winter camped in the Scouts in old canvas tents with a wood stove and as of last month winter camped in my new FWC Hawk, and I'm sorry but their is no comparison between winter camping in a tent and something like my Hawk, none whatsoever. We spent a weekend up in...

    Tacoma is a dog, should I think twice before adding FWC?

    I figure that I'm at 1800ish. I honestly have no concerns whatsoever. I've upgraded all the suspension components, added airbags and a rear sway bar. These Tundra's are seriously overbuilt Imo. Big rear ends, big brakes, drivetrain is more than capable. I'll keep an eye on brakes and other...

    2018 Toyota Tundra, FWC Hawk, backup camera

    I purchased the one from Camera Source as well. Comes with enough extra wiring to mount it pretty much anywhere you want. I have a Hitchgate on the back of my Tundra, so I've mounted the camera to the underside of the right overhang on the Hawk for now. The view is slightly offset, but it isn't...

    Things to check before a long trip in a 2016 Tundra?

    We will be heading north on a 8000km trip to the Arctic and back this June, in the Tundra, so I'm running similar questions through my head. I plan on having the truck serviced well before we leave, just to make sure their are no issues. I have not had any problems changing the oil filter myself...

    Tacoma is a dog, should I think twice before adding FWC?

    I have a 2014 Tundra with the 5.7 and 4.3 gears. I have a Hawk on the truck, along with other "goodies" which add more weight and this truck truly is a beast. Push the magical little tow/haul button and it has even better power delivery and massive low end torque. There is not another gas...

    Quietest 35 inch tire Toyota Tundra

    It looks like maybe it has 35" tires? If it has the 4.3 gears and 5.7 motor it will be more than satisfactory. From what I've read you really don't need to go up to the 4.8 gears until you go to 37" and above tires. I have the 5.7 motor, with 34.5" tires and the 4.3 stock gears and the truck has...
