Where exactly will you be driving it?

There are a few downsides to this. Weight is something of an issue, pinch flats are super common and removing tires requires a super long awkward allen wrench not everyone carries. Plus, if you have a flat and run on the runflat (heh) you'll destroy the tire after a while. I can't understand...

tiltslides wont work without a drawer system, I don't think it'd clear the tailgate in order for it to tilt. And if he adds a drawer system to the already tall vehicle, he'll further add to the problem.

I've used KC lights for the past 12 years. From halogen, HID to LED. Their products are great, they're super bright and have stood up to some serious abuse. I recently had the chance to experience their customer service and warranty and have to say I'm super pleased. They replaced a set of...

well, you'd be adding a hundred pounds of weight, plus quite a few hundred $$ for a very complex, wobbly solution. I agree your best bet is to buy a couple flat-folding stools, have them handy in the vehicle and use them to get to the fridge..

I've gone complete sets of tires without a puncture, and have had a brand new couple of tires destroyed within 600km of installing the set. One time is one too many for it to happen. I will always carry a spare, no matter the weight. I also carry a plug kit and obviously have a compressor in...

Where can you buy Stedi lights on the US? I'm looking to improve mine and those seem to perform well for an awesome price..

Rainy fishing trip..

Differentials are the same, powertrain is also the same. I would believe there's a difference in gear ratios that compensate for the payload capacities to each powertrain combination. Frame, suspension and brakes are different. Frame and suspension are definitely set up for heavier loads in the...

I've been wanting a single cab lately for work and daily driving. That looks awesome.

Don't get me wrong, I love mine as well, but I wouldn't drive it on the regular 8-10hr drives I usually take on my truck. Mine is bone stock, mechanically sound so reliability is not an issue (although I've never driven it for so long). But comfort is a huge issue. Noise, heat and seat comfort...

You may be right, but if you can take my word for it, seriously consider the Toyo AT's. Performance is great and durability is incredible.

sliding off a cliff at 1/2mph without being able to control looks like a situation where not even mud tires wouldve saved you, but you'll probably never know. Glad you're OK. There is a noticeable difference in performance between a HT tire and a MT one. AT Tires are a gray area that will lean...

I was finally able to install a canopy on the Hilux. Super happy with how it turned out, incredibly practical, makes loading the truck that much easier and keeps everything safe, clean and dry.

Another weekend another fishing trip...

Pros and cons for the 40 are pretty straight forward in my book. Pros: Dead reliable, super easy to fix and relatively cheap parts available pretty much everywhere (depending on your engine). A subjective one would be the coolness of travelling in an iconic vehicle, maybe you're trying to...

Ah, well, I have to say that those 55.000 miles were in very hot climates and in very bad roads when on pavement..

If durability is key, I've never seen a longer wearing tire than Toyo Open Country ATs. I just changed a set of AT2's after over 55,000 miles with a little life left on them. They are available in 265/75R16 LR E.

A friend of mine did this mod once, for the exact same reason as you. The thing is with long fuel queues down here it shouldve helped a lot. There used to be a ridiculous "rule" where you could onlu fill using the pump on the same side as the filler cap. That is no longer an issue and it turned...

In my experience, yes. Fairings work. I can't say exactly how much mpg's you get back, but anything is better than having the RTT dragging in the wind. Fab up something, attach it to the roof rack flush with the tent. It won't be perfect aerodynamically, but it WILL be better than not having...
