Thanks! It's still a work in progress as I have to get the traction mats, rotopax gas can, Hi-lift, and shovel up there. Bit of a juggling game to find adequate space and restraint mechanisms for all, but I look forward to getting it all taken care of. Still to do list: Un-mount sliders and...

Wowsers. Nice pickup!

So the addition of the Prinsu rack meant that I had to re-think/re-work the awning brackets I had previously fabricated. Oh well, I wasn't too attached to those ones anyway as they looked sloppy and I just couldn't have that. The Prinsu rack uses 80/20 extrusions which are perfect for the...

When I removed my back seats the double side was attached to the single side in some fashion. As I was removing both I never bothered to investigate how or if it was able to be separated. Just FYI.

If you don't need the backseats and can stand to lose them for this period of time go ahead and chuck those too while you are at it. Removing the backseats and the storage bins will give you a ton of usable space back. I am going that route this upcoming season and will be fabricating a platform...

Upped my electrical game recently. Wasn't a huge fan of using heat shrunk spade connectors to hook up electrical accessories exposed to the elements. I invested in the tools to crimp up Deutsch DT terminals and have to say I am impressed with their construction and apparently weatherproofiness...

A few pages back there was a discussion on the use of AW gun cases on the roof as additional storage. Some are a fan, some are not. I decided, for better or worse, to mount up a couple to gain a little bit of protected outside storage. We'll see how they fare long term, but it was a fairly cheap...

How many miles are currently on your truck?

That reminds me, I have to go get some fertilizer. The money tree I planted a while ago still hasn't produced any green yet. ;) I definitely do see the appeal however. I will at some point re-do the rear suspension of the truck but can't see tackling that within the next few years. Current life...

Thanks for the advice. I kind of figured as much with the dash related rattles, it seems to be pretty hit or miss in terms of both replicating it, and then getting the dealership to fix it. In an exciting piece of news I managed to track down the heinous rear end noise. I went through pretty...

Came home to this bundle of joy from Zach at Prinsu Design Studios last night. IMG_1224 by Tim Souza, on Flickr Ordered it during the most recent group buy. I've been lusting after a matching rack for my topper ever since I put one on the cab during, you guessed it, last year's group buy...

And I got some traction mats in the mail today. Went with Maxsa Escaper Buddies instead of Maxtrax owing to them being half the cost. Of course now I need to come up with some good way to mount them to the roof rack, we'll see what I can come up with. IMG_1221 by Tim Souza, on Flickr

Next up is some more lights! A friend we were camping with last year had some lights on the side of his trailer that light up the camp site nicely and made working or finding things at night a much more pleasant experience. I decided I needed some of those. At the same time I'll be sinking some...

Cool! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it, especially as my father's side of the family is all down on the Cape. Where are you/where do you frequent?

When I last updated this thread several weeks ago I had a partial sheet of super crinkly Dynamat laid down. It was ugly and I hated it. So I did what any rational human being would do, stepped back, took a deep breath, and commenced ripping it out. Word to the wise, the foil edges of Dynamat are...

Looking forward to seeing more! What rear bumper is that? I'd be interested in seeing some more of the details on your truck.

If I recall correctly, the issue impacted both the Tacoma and the Tundra though the Tacoma has gotten much more publicity for it. Tacoma frames are partially boxed. They are fully boxed from the engine compartment back to about 1/4 the length of the cab. The rest is open channel.

Not sure how set in stone your trip route is but I would HIGHLY recommend when you hit the junction of 285 and 50 at Salida, CO going 285 further south and heading west via 160. Once you hit Durango turn north and you should be able to get into Telluride via Ophir Pass. 50 from Salida to...

Home Depot actually. It was in the painting section near the Blue tape and such. Should be about $13 for a roll that will do the entire slider.

After a bunch of back and forth with both the wife and my BFF out here I've decided to up our game a bit by getting an ARB fridge/freezer. I was waffling back and forth between a Yeti Cooler and the ARB and think I've settled on going that route. While the up front cost is enough to make me...
