thanks for posting the pics! any noticeble fuel mileage drop with the cap installed? it seems to sit a bit more above the cab than most. how heavy is it? are you able to remove it alone?

dodecagon200- i'd really like to see more pics of your rig and that cap. looks real nice and close to what i'm going for, but mine is a access cab.

thanks for the links! i'll be keeping my eyes wide open. really looking forward to this trip and hopefully doing it in style.

greetings- my fiance and i are planning a trip from here (vt) to alaska for our honeymoon next summer. we're seriously considering a four wheel camper for my 07 access cab tacoma. before ordering one, i'd like to scour the earth for a used one. we would greatly appreciate any leads on campers...

here's where i got mine http://www.1st-chainsupply.com/chain/gr70_binderchain_38.htm

a 20' 3/8 grade 70 chain weighs roughly 31.5 lbs compared to a 20' length of 5/16 weighing 21.5 lbs. this is with clevis hooks installed. both are heavy and cumbersome. i recently opted for the 3/8 chain under the adage of "better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it".

photog- are you running goodyear silent armors? if so, how do you like them? impressions? thanks and great looking pics and truck!

how big of a base is sufficient without being too bulky to carry? i have some ground rated pt 3/4 ply leftover from a recent job but i think it's about 8 inches wide at best. do you think two strips on top and two glued perpendicular to get a 16 x16 square would work out?

i've read that a hi-lift jack can be used (among many other ways) to break a tire bead, can someone explain this technique? or point me to the info? thanks

i have a tire plug kit (not so great but it has worked in the past), jumper cables, small air compressor ( to be replaced with a better unit), flashlight, duct tape, electrical tape. i always carry emergency gear and for extended road trips or known off-road adventures carry recovery gear...

my 07 tacoma doubles as my daily driver for carpentry work, and my adventure rig (mostly long road trips with fire roads and trails thrown in - no heavy off-roading). i'm looking for suggestions on what to carry as far as tools and spares for extended travel with light off-road use. i chose...

how does the stainless spout from deutsche optik stack up to the wedco spout?? any significant advantage to either?

i priced a similar cap today. $2300! looks like i'll being searching craigs list as well. looking forward to the build. i like the early tundras.

here's one from northern tool http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200335909_200335909 mounts behind the wheel well, so may not be what your looking for.

in the pic the smaller one looks notched to hang off the bed rail.

i could be wrong, but that small toyota box doesn't look compatible with a cap. it sits over the bed rail, and is vertical. most caps need utilize the full width of the bed rail and also start to cant inwards to follow the lines of the back of the cab.

man, your truck is looking great! did you remove the side bin from the cap on the drivers side? i didn't know they were removable. i've been considering a similar cap for my truck and the side bin would be great for work, but not so great for travel and camping.

my understanding was that the wedco cans used the same gasket material for both diesel and gas cans. i'll probably pick up some spare gaskets to have on hand anyway.

brut4s- i'm completely aware that the fuels are not compatible. what method would you recommend for cleaning the cans before using for diesel. my current set-up is gas, but in the future would like to get a diesel. i was checking for future reference that it is possible to use the red cans...

do the holes for the factory floormat clips leak at all? it seems counter productive to have them on a floor liner.
