I suppose we can sum up the entire thread with these three sentences.

I find this equally as scary as getting whacked by the auto ratchet, if not maybe more. I do have my handle pinned, and unpin it often to use the handle as a lever (super handy). But the thought of the handle flying 40' will keep me pinning it back when in use.

You can use it with the wheel hook attachment, I use this accesory on my Prado

This is true. Adding an aux tank on a Land Cruiser is extremely easy because every single model came with the provision for one. The downside is its expensive to do so. Most other vehicles start getting tricky (or impossible) to modify this way.

Hm. I've never seen anybody say you shouldn't use one. On the contrary, I've even read its become mandatory equipment for vehicles in off road parks (We dont have those so I can't say for certain). Whoever says you shouldn't use one or have one in your vehicle clearly hasn't used one or maybe...

With a 4 cylinder Toyota, I don't need to worry too much about fuel consumption, but I suppose your range requirements might vary according to your travels. I have 40 gallons of fuel on my rig, using a 24 gallon main tank and a 16 gallon aux tank. This is good for a little over 1000km (625...

Everything with proper measures can be safe. Its when you take safety for granted that you're in trouble. Why does taking safety into consideration and reading the instructions make you a "ninnie"? I've used it a bunch of times, for winching and lifting the vehicle, and I do have huge respect...

Installs are usually complicated when it comes to installing a OEM sub tank. If everything is OEM then everything should have its proper spot with mounting holes for the brackets and what not. It will requiere a lot of parts which will only be available in the countries where this is an...

Easy there, it was a simple joke. Same as the classic "That'll buff out". No need to get insulting. As said, you'll need to wet sand. I don't think there'll be a simple way to solve it, unless you use a touch up pen and even then I don't think results will be worth it.

+1 for the bottle jack with the piece of wood under it. A hilift jack is a recovery tool for me. I would only change a tire with it if there's no other option. Have you seen how unstable a HL can be when lifting the tire? Changing a tire with a HL is an unnecessary risk.

I use Rigid dually's with amber covers. That makes them more versatile and the fact that the covers reduce output significantly makes them better for on road use. I don't think you'd have trouble if you aim them properly with these covers.

Rubbing compound lol.

I would go load range D. It will handle the loads a Tacoma will take, will be lighter (better for fuel and wear) and will be more comfortable.

Stock 4Runner 5 spokes should work nicely, they're also reasonably light. What's the backspacing difference between these and Tacoma wheels? I know people here use stock Tacoma steelies on Prados and 4Runners so 4Runner wheels should fit fine on Tacomas.

I've had two layouts with three tents: One opened to the passenger side, one opened to the rear and the present one opens to the passenger side. Why? I have an awning on the driver's side. The only one I managed to open to the rear was a small tent that was 47 inches wide (The one prior to...

Double post. My apologies.

These were my thoughts, yes I was talking about the "bouncy" vertical suspension seats. Never mind then, carry on!

It will depend on where and who the vehicle was bought from. You can find vehicles in really good condition, but bear in mind a 75 series from the 80s was inevitably used as a workhorse sometime in its life and will have multiple owners. Inspect them thoroughly. I can testify for what...

The only experience I've had with suspension seats is not very good. Although I haven't had experience with Corbeau, the stock Pajero seats we had down here had lockable suspension seats, and most people lock them for a reason. I feel like those things make the ride feel even bumpier, as they...

There are, as mentioned, LHD 80 series split bench seats. The parking brake is the same. I just replied to a similar thread in ih8mud. There also are Recaro made seats with a fold down jump seat between them. Sort of like full-sized pickups. These are very, very rare. I'm not sure if they were...
