    2004 TOYOTA TACOMA DOUBLECAB TRD Off-Road, SR5 PreRunner

    Shameless self promotion. This is my truck I am listing on ebay. It would make me happy to sell this to someone here, knowing it would go to a good home. But honestly, I would like to get as much for it as I can to help pay for the goodies on the new truck. It still runs great. I would not...

    Options and thougts

    It’s getting to be time to upgrade the 2004 Taco to something new. My list of “must haves” is 4x4, D-cab, long bed, tow package. The wife’s list includes sunroof and heated seats. A couple of questions. I have been pricing them on-line, the TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road start with the same...

    Trailer wagging the dog

    I know almost all of us have been told, some way or another, to always make sure you have at least 10% of the trailer weight on the tongue. For those of you who like clean underwear and don't want to experiment on your own to see what happens if you don't follow this rule, U-Haul has created a...

    Water System Questions f(r)om Dummies

    I am reposting this from the Expedition Trailers section. Only got one reply. While helpful, they weren't able to answer all of my questions. So I found a trailer on Craigslist that is cheap enough that I think I can finally start my build. The idea is a small, dedicated trailer to carry all...

    Water system questions for (from) Dummies

    So I found a trailer on Craigslist that is cheap enough that I think I can finally start my build. The idea is a small, dedicated trailer to carry all of our camping and kitchen stuff. I want to include a sink in the kitchen area, but I have some questions. I am planning on installing a...

    Cast iron coating coming off

    Question to all of you cast iron users out there. We have a pre-seasoned, cast iron, Lodge, dutch oven. "8DOL" on the bottom. The inside coating is coming off. It looks like paint peeling. The rough textured finish is coming off revealing a smooth, bare metal underneath. I thought the...

    Unistrut fridge drawer

    Like so many others, I haven't seen anything that I like in my price range. So it was time to make my own. Completely lacking in welding skills and having limited carpentry skills (certainly compared to so many on this forum), I had to turn to something else. Unistrut. If you can't weld, but...

    Waiting to be snatched up

    Hey all. Been out of the loop for a while. But I just say this truck for sale, and thought someone could make it into a pretty good base for a conversion. Looks like it might have been a prisoner transport. Low miles. FYI - Unless someone wants to pay me a finder's fee :), I have no...

    Roof or camper shell

    Since I can’t seem convince the pretty one in my relationship to reduce the amount of cr..., excuse me, needed stuff, we take on our road-trips, I am going to get a roof top cargo box. My question is whether to mount the rails to the roof of the truck? Or to mount it to the camper shell on the...

    How big is your battery?

    I have been going back and forth between going dual batteries versus a bigger battery. For what I am going to be doing, I think a bigger battery will work better for me, camping with an ARB and other small loads. I would really like to shoe horn a 31M in there, I think the 13" length will fit...

    Where do you put the kids?

    As I contemplate what I want to build, I want to know what you do with the kids during the trip. I want to build a camper on the back of a cab over (an old ford C800 would put a big smile on my face). Letting the kid ride in the back if we had a walk through doesn't seem like it would raise...
