    05+ Tacoma problem / positive areas anyone?

    Very interesting to hear from everyone on the squeal issue. I don't have the silver skid plate either, but some of these other fixes have promise. Post up if anyone succeeds in correcting the problem!!

    05+ Tacoma problem / positive areas anyone?

    My 2007 Tacoma has been fantastic so far. Here's my take: I'm getting 17 mpg on the highway, and thats with 255/85s, and a permanently mounted tent. I thought about installing Recaro seats because previous Tacoma seats (and truck seats in general) are prettly lame. Decided against it because...

    little explore trip in western AZ

    Nice report! I'm glad someone's not afraid to explore the desert for a whole weekend although it is still pretty warm out. Was that last spot the observatory on Harquahala peak?

    How often do you really use your winch?

    I asked my self the same question when building my latest vehicle. Sure I've had winches and used them. These days, I just don't drive into those situations anymore. You could argue that you've gotta have a fridge to keep the beer cold... Gotta have dual batteries to power the fridge... I...

    RTT and Surfboards

    Priorities. Spousal sleep or a ride blessed by Neptune? I suppose you could use stilts, but I find most RTTs come with a handy ladder.

    RTT and Surfboards

    For similar reasons I choose the Maggiolina Extreme. It comes with a reinforced roof and two adjustable crossbars. It is rated to hold 40 lbs. As everyone has said before, you can crank open the tent without unloading the top. The only drawback is that it's pretty high. My Tacoma sits at 7'...

    Build Thread: '05 Tacoma for Search & Rescue

    Spiffy truck! If you do the Algebra and check it against various speeds, you'll see that your speedo will always be off around 10%. So on the highway you will be off more than just tooling around town. On to the next Phase! :lurk:

    109 Expedition rig build

    Life in Phoenix during July is so hot, just existing is torture. Each day you have to find a reason continue, inspiration to survive another day... I'm begging for a bone here. I'm at the end of my rope!!

    Thinking about a Tacoma...

    If you wanted a new one... just order it and get exactly what you want. Takes a bit longer, but you can't put a price on happiness!

    weekend away - all the mods are finally done!

    The mods are done... How does a painter know when to walk away from the canvas??? Your rig looks clean & tidy and very well thought out. I read that you were heading north, but I didn't catch where. Have a great trip.

    Act of despiration: The Carport Mod

    Just an update on my redneck carport mod from a few months ago... I reinforced it with gussets and replaced the facia to straighten things out and the truck now fits with 1/2+ inches of clearance. Nice!
