    Quietest 35 inch tire Toyota Tundra

    From the pictures ,it looks very well taken care of. Depending on whether or not you think the price is fair I'd say it looks purchasable. Hard to see the lift from the pictures, but it looks like a BDS. I'd be interested to see what sort of aftermarket shocks it has, or if it only has spacers...

    Quietest 35 inch tire Toyota Tundra

    I've been very pleased with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my Tundra. Their on highway manners and quietness have been happily surprising.

    Lights or portable air

    I have the ARB single CKMA12 compressor mounted in my Tundra and love it. It was one of the only things I transferred over from the Xterra when I sold it. I use it all the time. The hose is long enough to reach from the front right corner of the engine bay where the compressor is mounted back to...

    Heavy sliders not smart for long-term overlanding?

    The space in the Crewmax is amazing. I'm 6'2" and I can easily stretch out and relax in total comfort in the back of my sister's Crewmax. In fact, there is more space in the back than in the front passenger seat. I have the Double Cab Tundra as it was more important for me to have the 6'...

    2019 Tundra

    I bought my 2014 Toyota Tundra last summer based on a couple solid attributes: reliability, reliability, and proven reliability. It seems like every time I check the internet. people are crapping all over the Tundra.....no new this...no new that....boohoo...... Then in the same breath people...

    Planning Alaska trip- Pop up Camper or RTT? General planning.

    Man, am I glad I happened upon this thread. Thank you for the link to your blog. After a 5 month wait my Wife and I took possession of our new Hawk a few weeks ago. We plan on getting out as much as possible, and will be heading north on our 2.5-3 week summer holiday this July. For as long as I...

    Heavy sliders not smart for long-term overlanding?

    Sliders were something I knew I would add to the mix when building the Tundra. Fortunately for me, I don't really have ot factor in a loss of power from additional weight with the monster 5.7 in the truck. Fuel mileage from added weight, well it's a consideration but not a limiting factor. I...

    Post Pics of your FWC with Lifted Trucks

    A quick pic on my way home last weekend from getting our new Hawk installed. 2014 Tundra with a MCM Fab mid-travel setup. ADS Racing shocks and coilovers, MCM Fab uca's, OME Dakar leaf packs, and Firestone airbags. (Currently on the studded winter tires and wheels - I have 295 Nitto Ridge...

    Need some help. Does anyone know this 4runner (trd pro, rack, lights, winch)

    The bumper is for sure a SSO Slimline. I have purchased one for my Tundra (sitting in my garage waiting to install it) and is is most definitely a good quality well manufactured piece of kit.

    ExpeditionOverland: South America 2017 - Debuts 10/27/17

    Excellent series. Thank you very much for making the best of our Friday evenings. Easily the best thing on the idiot box on a Friday evening. It was the very first series (to the Yukon) that helped convince my Wife that this sort of travel could be well worthwhile. This latest series was simply...

    Camper and Truck Photos

    I can finally play in this park. I brought home our new Hawk yesterday. She looks a little dirty here, mid-trip, though she certainly did cleaned up well after the I got home. We ordered it around 5 months ago, and are pretty excited to see where she is going to take us in the future. I still...

    2019 Tundra

    I bought a 2014 lease return Tundra this past summer. I wanted a full size gas 1/2 truck with a 6' bed and a decent sized double cab. After way too much research (for me) there was no choice other than the Tundra. I couldn't care less about the newest fandangled electronics and stuff. I want my...

    2nd Generation Tundra: 4.6 vs 5.7 advice

    I wholeheartedly agree with this. This will be no comparison between the two whatsoever. The 5.7 in the Tundra is a simply an amazing motor. In my humble opinion, if this is what your choices have come down to, get the Tundra with the 5.7. Their will likely never be a time when you will find...

    Vanilla Gorilla: 2017 Power Wagon build

    Congrats, and great looking truck. I too, went from a mid-size suv (Xterra) to a full size truck (Tundra) this past summer. I had been looking around quite a bit and had my choices down to two specific trucks, one was a Power Wagon and the other a Tundra. In my case, the particular Tundra just...

    Vehicle advice

    Well, if you were happy with the 4Runner then get a Sequoia...or a Tundra. I bought a 2014 Tundra this past summer and its an amazing truck. Sure it's "bigger" than the 4Runner (I had an Xterra) but that's what you are looking for. No matter how much power you think your 4Runner had....the 5.7...

    Full size trucks on jeep trails advice

    Exactly one of the questions I asked myself when I sold our trusty Xterra and bought a Tundra to start a new build. It's all about compromise for us. I knew that asking the Tundra to scale some of tight switchback type trails that the Xterra climbed up would likely be a no-go. But, I was ok with...

    Highways of The North

    Wow. Amazing story, and fantastic pictures. My Wife and I have been working on our plans to head north for over a year now. We will be pointing north next July and heading all the to Tuk in our truck. Driving the Cassiar Hwy is most certainly on our list of must-go places. I can't wait. I've...

An Etro ATA 09 (14") About the shortest and most compact firearm I can figure to carry in the bushes. I've been looking at the Ranch Hand...

    Another Help Me Choose Thread: Bumper Edition

    Not a deal breaker for me. The new rig is going to be setup more for long distance adventures than serious off-roading. I do still want/need it to be capable. With the lift and tires, my clearance is still pretty decent. I had a tough time justifying the 2500+ price range for a Tundra bumper...
