    Can you drop some 1st gen Tundra knowledge on me?

    That I do not know. When I took the photos I merely lined up the tires as the wheelbase is virtually the same. I'll check to see if the firewalls line up the same. I'll also try to provide you with interior cab width photos. The 2004 Double Cab Tundra came with 4.10 gears also...

    Can you drop some 1st gen Tundra knowledge on me?

    Well, since I currently own both a Tundra (2003 Access Cab) and Tacoma (2014 Double Cab) I can tell you that they are so close in size it's uncanny. I have comparison shots on my (very short) Tacoma thread. My Tundra has been nothing short of the best vehicle I've ever owned. It currently...

    What am I forgetting - Little Guy Build

    I'm not a fan of putting sinks in teardrops. In my opinion the sinks are always too small to be much use; they take up valuable counter space; And their plumbing takes up valuable storage space underneath. A bucket, or stock pot works for us, both are multi functional and more useful to us...

    The Wild Crow - A Not So Wild Build Thread

    Since nothing much has happened to the Tacoma recently, other than driving it, I thought I'd post up some comparison photos. The 2nd Gen Tacoma and 1st Gen Tundra are close in size. The wheelbase is almost exactly the same. Parked side by side with the tires lined up you don't see the 1/2"...

    Buying a new Tacoma Access Cab - 2.7 or 4.0? Auto or Manual?

    When buying a vehicle I tend to get the engine with the most power that I can afford. Why? Because sometimes I make mistakes. Sometimes I pull out in traffic and misjudge the traffics speed or distance. Or misjudge that gap in traffic for passing. That extra horsepower can be really...

    Gear Head - know it all

    4.56 or 4.88. with 34" tires and the OD in the transmission you'll still wind up with a decent overall gear ratio for highways and have decent gears for offroadability by selecting 1,2, or 3 on the PRNDL

    The Wild Crow - A Not So Wild Build Thread

    Thanks! Well, it's almost ready. Nothing is ever perfect, so a few minor modifications will be necessary. First, we were going to spring for some crossbars to put on that factory roof rack so we could haul kayaks...until Beth discovered the crossbars are built in-- they simply unclamp and can...

    Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx

    Closer to 19.5, but, yeah, fantastic wear. I'm more than happy with it. And yes, very similar to what I was getting with the 255/85 ST (non maxx) tires

    Superlift TruSpeed Speed Sensor Recalibrator

    My TruSpeed has been going strong for 120,000 miles or so (6 or 7 years now). It's behind my glovebox. I rarely change tire size but if I need to recalibrate it only takes a minute to remove the door and the HVAC tube to reach it. I left the wiring long so I can sit it on the console for...

    100,000 miles

    Wow! I can't believe it's been a year since I've posted anything on this thread. What's going on with the truck? Not much really. It's been daily driven as always and has also taken us and the teardrop on 2400 miles worth of camping fun. Merchants Millpond NC (Alligators!) ARSES Pine Creek...

    Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx

    With just 60,000 miles on my old set of ST Maxx's, I decided it was time for a new set. The old ones still have 6/32" of tread, but with the arrival of winter and potential snow I took the hit. Now the ride is whisper quiet again and oh so smooth!

    AND YET AGAIN: Paul and Mike Try to Build a Hard-Sided Do-It-All ADV Trailer

    With a list this ambitious I am subscribing to this thread! Knowing how big the service body is compared to the space required for four people to sit comfortably, I'm really curious to see what tech you will be inventing to get this done....Tardis Technology?

    Tilley airflow Hat

    I love my Tilley! It's a great hat, keeps my head dry in the rain and the sunburn off my balding head. They are also much improved with the addition on Miocene era sharks teeth you can find at various locations on the Potomac River.
