Trucks that have not a clean sheet redesign in over a decade and sell in boutique numbers are not particularly relevant to modern full size trucks. But point taken "all" is not technically accurate phrasing.

There is copious evidence that some of the other products don't break every time you use them and for a lot of people would not break in a lifetime of use. Nothing wrong with an opinion but you sound like you are trying to justify an already sunk expense.

Not anymore. They are all aluminum or composite now. My 02 Taco tailgate probably weighs the same as a Silverado now. It certainly requires less effort to close than my Taco does. I have lifted more than one of these with so much force the my fly out of my hands or I slam them because they are...

USB fans and rechargeable power bricks. I have run USB fans for literally 48 hours straight on a 20,000 mah and not killed it. Plus it charges all your phones. Or get rechargeable lithium batteries.

Not BFG's. There you go now you are all set lol.

People say this but really no one knows. OEMs use off the shelf hardware from higher GVWRs all the time. No one, including you, knows what the brakes were designed for or what kind of safety factor went into the design. We all know through history particular marques of brakes on x model may or...

I love absolutely everything about these except for the fact it doesn't open towards the front. What are the odds of ever producing a version that hinges the other direction?

As far as hand helds switch to to high capicity lithium AA batteries. The voltage is a little lower over all so theoretically the max range on high could decrease but I don't notice in my use at all. But with these in a Midland handheld you can leave them on 24hs a day on standby for 7-10 days...

Rotating spares seems like a huge waste of time and money. Buy a nice used tire in the same size that is in the same ballpark of off road capability. Learn how to read dates so that it is not too old. I run St Maxxes and bought a different used late model MT tire for 40 bucks for the that is...

I'm not saying the Coopers are the best thing since sliced bread but I am saying that in some sizes or some batches BFG KO2's AT are just garbage. In other vehicles their wear rate is just all over the map, some sizes on some vehicles OK then other sizes on other vehicles just complete crap...

They are commercial truck tires. Try getting that info for any car or light truck tire, not to mention Michelin's offerings for non-commercial off road vehicles are complete crap. Not sure how the flippant attitude is justified here.

Oh Toyota specs have stupid wiggle room in them too. It helps to take it to a shop that cares instead of just doing it to "spec". On my 2002 2wd Taco the camber can be from something like .3 positive to .4 negative. So you can have almost a whole degree of cross camber and be in spec. My truck...

I am running 235/85R16 Cooper STMAXX. I very much like these tires but the size is absolutely perfect for a 1st gen Taco in my opinion. Especially with a 2.7 and 4:56 gears. From less unsprung weight, to less drag at highway speeds, to butter performance in rain at speed and some types of snow...

Trying to talk someone out of a Wrangler into a Liberty is madness. I would want the Jeep with capability and resale or the Japanese or Korean CUV/SUV that is reliable and fuel efficient. Even the Diesel could not convince enough to go with a Liberty after my XJ rusted out. The KK is why I...

For me Tacomas died in 2005 so I have had longer to come to terms with the loss than others I guess lol

Mine has access to the tailgate but I didn't want to carry cargo tubs through the annex. If you have the ladder for the tent down carrying stuff in and out of the truck is a drag. If you have cots or sleeping accommodations in the annex it's also a bummer. I also cook on my tailgate so I don't...

There is lots of good stuff on Tacomaworld but the signal to noise ratio there is sometimes a bit lacking for me sometimes. I ordered just the hub and lock hub from rock and a bunch of stuff from an online dealer including new snap rings and spacers just since they were cheap and at this point...

This is my favorite thing to watch all week. I don't even have TV shows I wait with as much anticipation for or get as much enjoyment out of.

The Nokians will smoke a super single meant for a commercial vehicle. They are not even close to the same use case. Without a lot of weight on them they might even be worse that something than a normal tire with a decent amount of sipes like a Duratrac or something. But just on weight alone I...

If you have an annex room then you block the whole back of your truck and render your tailgate useless and make it difficult to get anything out of the back of the truck. If you have a 270 awning then you don't need an awning in the back. You can keep the weight closer to the center line of the...
