OK, time to upgrade from my little single burner. I do not have much cash though, so I am looking at "affordable options". I think I have narrowed it down to the following: 1. Coleman 2 Burner Propane ($60.00): 2. Coleman Outdoor Grill and Stove ($89.00): 3. Camp Chef All Terrain...

Hey guys/gals, I hope this thread doesn’t make me sound like a complete idiot, but I need some help. I am just getting into the "expedition" thing, as I have finally got a rig capable of taking me places :smiley_drive:, however, one of the biggest snags I am hitting is camp cooking. All my life...

Hey guys, I know everyone here knows the importance of a good blade while out in the mountains (or for everyday use for most I am sure). I am just curious what you guys use as far as Edged tools. I am always on the lookout for new reviews and new tools. I LOVE blades (not in a psycho way). if...

Hey Guys, well, I took my truck in for a service yesterday, and while there, the dealership called me to tell my cabin air filter was dirty and they recommended replacing it. I asked how much it would cost…..get this…$79.00!!!!!! I said no way, I can do that myself. If you have ever done this it...

It is time to update my desktop at work. Right now I have a few good Dakar Rally pics, but need something new. Please post any good offroad/expedition action shots that are high enough quality for desktop wallpaper. Essentially same type of pics that is in our exp calanders. (as a matter of...

Hey Guys, I have a few things for sale, not sure how much they should be going for so I am basing prices off of a few quick threads from the past, feel free to make offers. I am located in So Cal, and would prefer local, as shipping will be a PITA and expensive. Full set of TRD Off-road wheels...

Hey Guys, well the next stop on my truck build is a good set of sliders, unfortunately none of the sliders on the market are what I am looking for, so I decided to go custom. I cannot say I am building these. I can weld, but fear my skills are not up to par enough for a strong set of sliders...

Hey guys/gals I REALLLY want to start my roof rack build, I have so many ideas in my head I need to start getting them out. I have a welder and can weld, but I do not have a tube bender, nor do I want to spend the money to buy one for a single project. Does anyone know if you can rent tube...

haha I wish! As much as I love my taco, I must admit, I would be willing to trade her for one of these: No that is not a modified hummer..YES that is a TOYOTA! This is called the mega crusier. Appartenly it was only sold in Japan and mostly for military use http://www.megacruiser.com/

Well this round of mods has no real purpose but cosmetics, but I figured I would post it up anyway, as this contains my FAVORITE mod to DATE!!!!! First off, you guys probably know that swapped out my color match parts (mirrors and handles) for black plastic ones. This was both cosmetic and...

I AM DRIVING DOWN TO FIT MY NEW CUSTOM SLIDERS TOMORROW!!:wings::wings::wings::wings: sorry, I am just VERY exited. I have been working with a fab guy for over a month now to get a set of sliders made how I want them (not off the shelf). Tomorrow I drive down for the final fittment and take...

OK, well I have now got a winch on my truck and I want to start getting good recovery gear to compliment it. The winch is slightly undersized to what I would ideally like (8k for a new gen tacoma) however, I feel I can remedy any heavy pulls wth a double line pull, so I will eventually need a...

Well it is time to tackle communications, and what better to reach out and touch someone than a FT-8800? The following are the parts I am using: Yaesu FT-8800R Yaesu YSK-8900 (Remote mounting kit) Diamond NR770HB Antenna Cheap HRO $12.00 external speaker The location I chose to install the...

First off, I want to give credit to tooblutacoma06 and his install thread: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37333&highlight=blue+sea I had the fuse block, but his thread gave me inspiration to install it finally. It was done much like his. Tools and parts needed: About...

XRC8 Winch Installation - Solenoid Relocation and In Cab Controls Mechanically, the winch installation is very strait forward; just mount the thing on the bumper. The end..haha Now electrically, I decided to do some customization and make it a bit more complicated (especially for me, I am a...

I chose the allpro mainly because I liked the look of it, though the modular design seemed like a good idea, if one part gets messed up, I can just replace that rather than a whole bumper. I live pretty close to allpro, so I picked it up myself. Upon opening the two boxes (the modular design...

After much research, the lift I chose was a OME lift. All in all, the parts I used were as follows: Thanks to Wil from Sierra Expedition:victory:: OME front coils (886 due to winch and bumper) OME 90000 Nitrocharger Shocks OME 182 Rear Shocks OME Dakar Spring set (CSO47R no extra leaf set) OME...

I just installed a 12 circuit blue sea aux fuse block into my truck. This is rated 100amp, so I have a 100 amp breaker in line with it. My original plan was to connect directly to the batter, however, I really like the idea of having it connected to switched power so I cannot leave my radios and...

Hey Guys, I am working on some switches for my truck. The original plan was to laser etch them and paint the recess that is created with some white paint. HOWEVER, after etching them I actaully think like the look without the paint, it is very subtle but nice. So I need your opinions. Do I...
