I'm a ways out from making a vehicle tent purchase but an updated Flippac tent would definitely make the choice easier! Very much looking forward to what comes out of this.

Wow, 196 pages! It took me several days but I finally got through it all. Thanks so much TACODOC for your time in this write up! I especially appreciate all the detail you go into with your installs - very confidence inspiring!

Agreed, I can't wait to see this truck in action especially after watching it as it's built. What better way to analyze what works and what doesn't? On the edge of my seat!

Love the build monty, subb'd!

It's true, not sure why I immediately jumped to "or" rather than "and" on that one...contemplating this some more. I've been updating some of my thoughts on the build as well - the general concept is the same but I want to build the truck slow enough that I can evaluate the truck between...

Still in the planning stage on this one - ended up starting my own business so my cash flow has been directed that way for awhile. No matter! It only gives me more time to learn from those who have gone before me. My original thought was to get a DCLB with the sport package and add ARBs if...

@ HorseshoeExpedition: Good point on the roof rack, I'd forgotten to add that as something I am considering. Do you (or anyone else) find that having a taller bed cap gets worse gas mileage than a cab height one? I've spent many nights in the back of my '88 4 runner and felt like I had plenty...

Not to necropost, but I've updated my primary post a bit. I also wanted to add that in my continuing research I had a couple phone conversations with Mario from adventuretrailers.com. I've never purchased anything from them and yet he was willing to spend almost an hour on the phone with me so I...

Thanks! I've heard good things about both the Toytech and OME suspension but I have yet to decide for sure. I am pretty much set on BFG A/Ts for my 3 season tire I plan on running a separate tire for winter/mud as OK mud and A/T tires don't mix well). Seeker; I absolutely plan to get out...

Copy that on angling the sliders up to protect more of the door...not sure I'll go quite as wide as you did though bassman! Upcountry, that's a good looking truck you have there.

Thanks for the responses guys That's a good thought, that hadn't crossed my mind. Perhaps some sort of pattern in the metal would be in order to deal with muddy boots... That's true, the wings in particular are of a thinner steel than others. Currently that's a compromise I'm willing to make...

Well, I am nearing the end of paying off my current vehicle so my dream of owning a Tacoma is getting closer! Let me say up front that I completely understand that this (and every) truck will be a build of compromises. I am under no delusion that I can build a Moab ready truck and retain...
