Currently running 285/75/16s.

Pro Comp.....8069, I think. There are a couple of different numbers with the same style but different finishes. You can get gloss, flat, or chrome. Mine are glossy. Backspace is 4" which is about perfect for a first gen Tundra. No spacers needed

For the first gen Tundra the official tire is the ST Maxx. Accept no substitutes

That's about what I get with my 03. I occasionally get 18 on the freeway but not often. I drive too fast for that. I bought my 03 on September 29 of 2002.

That is a beautiful looking frame. Great work

As a very general rule: 265/75/16 = 31.5" tall with a 10.5" section width (NOT tread width) 235/85/16 = 32" tall with a 9.5" section width 255/85/16 = 33" tall with a 10" section width 285/75/26 = 32.8" tall with an 11.2" section width. These are only "in general" numbers as the true tire size...

Nice! I'll keep watching as I'm slooowly outfitting my own 2014 Baja. Love the Pelfrey built aluminum bumper and funds are currently being saved for that......

Overbudget, over tongue weight goal, out of time. Sounds like our build by the end. We moved our axle forward 4" ( I think, I'll have to revisit my own build thread ) and lost 140 pounds of tongue weight. Even if you hit 350 lbs you'll be lighter than ours. You can offset some of that...

Yes. Adventure Trailers. I don't know if they do custom but they sell a flatbed trailer with their awesome suspension system. It's worth a look see to build a teardrop on.

I'll agree with that reply. That's probably not the best project to learn your welding skills on by yourself. If you have someone experienced watching over you, go for it. If you don't have an experienced person handy, I'd recommend buying a trailer. Cheap route is craigslist and modify...

We also ordered seat covers while we shopped on Amazon. These are not what we really wanted, we're holding out for a few years but wanted to be able to prevent damage to the very nice and comfortable seats the Tacoma came with. These are CoverKings ballistic Cordura covers. The rear set showed...

With the Hi-Lift tucked up out of the way, we moved on to storage for other necessities: Items like the shovel, the bow saw and the axe (seriously). These were installed in the passenger side tool box. The axe and shovel used the original sized Quick-Fist clamps, while the bow saw is held up...

The weight does sneak up. I'll be surprised if you out weigh our teardrop though. Even at 3500# loaded our Tacoma tows it very easily. You're doing a great job on your tear so far!

Ha! That's exactly where we were at!

How small do they pack down?

Nice! We went kayaking today, although it was only 40 and grey sky with occasional rain. Great day, saw Bald Eagles, Ospreys, scuttled boats and collected some fossil shark teeth.

Don't be scared. If it's serviced regularly, a decent price and drives solid you should be gtg. My 03 is sitting on 242000 and I'd drive it anywhere around the country right now.

Nice! But where's the photos?

This wasn't really on the priority list yet, but my wife found this thread from BensonX on Tacoma World on his home fabbed hi-lift mount (and tool mounts). We'd been discussing ideas on the organization we will need inside the cap for our year long trip. With the truck and trailer being our...
