    Gitout Expedition Build - 2013 Toyota Tacoma DC TRD

    It's a heavy duty jump box. Just the emergency power in case the main battery goes dead. Another nice thing is being able to easily assist others with dead batteries too. I think people are too eager to to jump on the dual battery setup. #1. Expensive. #2. Increased wiring complexity and...

    Gitout Expedition Build - 2013 Toyota Tacoma DC TRD

    New battery is working out much better. No issues starting. It has run over 24hrs several times without starting. This past week ran continuously and only drove the truck 10 min per day. Did an MPG run to Roseburg. Chevron 92 - 60mph - no ac - fully loaded (over 6,000lbs) - 350mi hwy +...

    Gitout Expedition Build - 2013 Toyota Tacoma DC TRD

    I decided against the dual odyssey battery setup. There were a number of reasons... The Odyssey 1400 would get run down after 12hrs with the ARB Fridge. I want the fridge to be able to run 24-48hrs without killing the battery. The added wiring complexity and possibility of causing warranty...

    Gitout Expedition Build - 2013 Toyota Tacoma DC TRD

    Gas mileage is back up to 19mpg on the road (mixed 17-18mpg). The secret... It now rolls with around 1,000lbs in the truck bed with a GVW near 6,000lbs with a tent, rack and awnings on the roof. Ok, that stuff normally kills the gas mileage. My average dropped to about 16mpg from just adding...

    255 tire fits stock 05+ Tacoma

    The tires will fit the same lifted vs stock. Unless you install a body lift or change the factory bump stops (ie limit wheel travel)... the same size tire can fit lifted or stock with the same amount of trimming required.

    Price Check: New 2013 Tacoma DCSBTRDOR 4x4

    Leather is installed not by the dealer but by an independent shop. It's not Toyota factory. Flooring needs to be ordered with the truck $50 extra. My dealer told me it would be 6-8 weeks to have it built. I just went with the carpet instead and added the WeatherTech floor liners. That...

    Awning on cap?

    Correct. It attaches to the rack. You could easily adapt it to attach to your Yakima crossbars.

    Gitout Expedition Build - 2013 Toyota Tacoma DC TRD

    Put some 3M ClearBra on the canopy today. This stuff is incredible for protecting paint. My truck still looks like new after running through many NW trails (ie trees, brush, branches).

    Awning on cap?

    Here's mine... Had a rack custom built. ARB awning is only like $200. Totally worth the money; great design, quick setup and take down.

    Gitout Expedition Build - 2013 Toyota Tacoma DC TRD

    Hey Mike! Shocks are the extension limiter for all these generation IFS Toyota trucks. There is only a bump stop for compression. The swaybar has nothing to do with this issue. The only time the sway bar may assist in dampening the shock extension is when only one wheel extends not both...

    Gitout Expedition Build - 2013 Toyota Tacoma DC TRD

    They rode fine overall. Compression dampening was good. Extension dampening was poor. It was harsh when suspension extended. I think that the shock needed better valving to match the 886 springs. Great inexpensive setup overall and solid durability.
