You can't put a $ on KOOOL! Though there are smaller versions of the led light bar for a cheaper price...

LED Lightbar...Pretty Koool! https://www.bajadesigns.com/NET/P-620276/Stealth+Xpg%2c+40+Led+Bar

Sleeping I usually sleep in the shell, but if on a longer journey, the shell gets loaded up with crap, so I take a small tent. I'm thinking of getting a "lumber rack" that fits over the shell, maybe then get a RTT. My wife isn't a camper, so it's usually me and the dog...

It was "New...!" The truck had 300 miles on it, I traded the stock tires for the Coopers; Other than the shell and tires it was bone stock. In hindsight, I probably should not have attempted Steele Pass alone, mid-week with no one around. The only tricky part was not having a "spotter..."

Baja trip... Try not to make your truck "too blingy", especially if you have your surfboards displayed. I would gas up at the border and not stop until you are a good 200mi south of the border to avoid problemas... We have carried down everything from pencils and little pencil sharpeners for...

Crazy Euros...! With the dollar in the ****s and the Euro as good as gold, all the crazy-cheap-***-adventurer-Euros are traveling all over the US and beyond... I am jealous and wish for the good old days of a strong economy and powerful dollar... I think it will be a looooooong time before we...

custom aluminum I have seen someone in Santa Barbara who had what looks like a custom aluminum rack mounted ON the snug top. It had verticle bracing on all four corners that attached (bolted through) to the shell. I guess a metal shop could fab something up that could bare the weight, but the...

Death Valley Update This is my update on how my stock (except for tires) 09 Tacoma did on D.V Road/trails... I entered from Olancha and hit Saline Valley road. I aired down to 25psi on the 265/75/16's and was able to ride the washboard in comfort at 30mph! Last time on this road, I was driving...

I'll let you know how airing down and driving saline valley rd will go; I am leaving in the AM. First trip; all stock 09 taco 4x, 4cyl.5spd,reg.cab, snugtop with 265/75/16 cooper s/t's :smiley_drive:

Thanks for all the replies/advice; I WAS actually thinking of SALINE VALLEY RD!!! Sounds like airing down will solve problems until I can convince my wife that I need coil overs and Deavers...I guess I'll have to drive with fully inflated tires until she "gets it"! Hey to ******** Cabasa from...

Hey guys (ladies too), A newbie 09 Taco here; Just wondering what tried and proven ideas on how to smooooth out those graded roads with minimal suspension upgrades. I was thinking new coil overs up front with "Deaver" springs in back and upgraded rear shocks... Will that do? :truck: Thanks!
