New KYBs with Rallitek springs will net a huge improvement in handling, load handling, and rough road driving! The difference in ride height could just be that the OEM suspension is sagged out.

8 panels still remaining!

Kicking this back to the top. Panels still available!

I'm seriously considering the Cepek Extreme country. The 255/85-16 E tire is 8 pounds lighter than the Cooper STT Maxx in the same size. Both are made by Cooper, and the extreme appears to have been patterned after the Cooper STT Pro. At 50 pounds, it is also the lightest tire in that size...

So, here is your answer. The tire on the right is 20" off the ground (hard to tell from the camera angle) and the twist left to right is almost 3" across the 6' bed. All 3 other tires are on the ground. Bear in mind that this truck has a rear sway bar and a CBI Bushmaster bumper. A stock...

Here is your huckleberry: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Unger-11-in-Cobweb-and-Corner-Duster-978310/207102223 Works great as a soft cleaning brush. I have used them for many things, including washing the interior of 250 gallon water tanks. They fit into narrow spaces, like between cab and...

Hi Jo, I don't have to sell all 12, no. Because of the size, crating and handling them would not be easy. We drove to LA to get them out of a container and transport them home. If you could live with them cut, crating would be easier. I'm not opposed to doing that if you pay the crating...

Same here Phil. Aside from being good water, RO greatly reduces mineral and bacterial issues in the tanks. I have coffee pots that have been in use for years with RO water, and look brand new.

Years ago I made my own insulated window covers using drapery insulation that you can buy at any good fabric store. I used them for years and they worked fine. I used ties to hold them rolled up above the window when not in use, and velcro to seal them around the edges. The stuff is easy to...

Hi Everyone, We have a surplus of composite panels that we are selling! These are top quality Total Composites panels that were custom made for us. Due the size and difficulty of shipping, the buyer will have to pick these up at our Prescott, Arizona facility. These panels feature...

Well done Mike! This is a very nice demonstration for those unfamiliar with these systems in real applications. I'm going to save it so I can refer people to it. I learned to drive offroad in a Baja VW, so I'm pretty obsessive about line picking and throttle control. I rarely use my lockers...

Jon, The "custom part" may be nothing but a hose reducer. Typical RV water tanks use 1-1/2" hoses. Other applications use other sizes. You might find all the parts and adapt them, but anytime you go down a rabbit hole like this, expect to spend time and money. You will probably end up...

We deal with a lot of trailer and camper builders. I don't know of any that are getting rich gouging their customers. Companies that gouge their customers ALWAYS get undercut eventually by someone who sees the opportunity. I would guess that few are operating at a net profit of over 15 - 20%...

That's a gas fill door, not water. You would have to put a water fill neck behind it. They are easy to find. Take a look here: https://www.amazon.com/Dodge-Fuel-Tank-Black-Coated/dp/B00SXW9N00 There are a million variations. Do a search for "racing style locking fuel filler"

Given the reduction in rating due to angle, it really begs the question as to why nearly all mountings for D-rings on aftermarket bumpers are vertical instead of horizontal. That's exactly opposite what it should be. Until this thread, I really hadn't given that much thought. It may be time...

weight is our greatest and most insidious existential enemy

A subframe for a Tacoma can be built with no additional height. There is plenty of room to build supporting structure below the frameline. If it is a flat bed, the height will be dictated by tire clearance. I agree that steel will end up heavy, and weight is a primary issue on any Tacoma...

Monstaliner makes a very forgiving product that rolls on easily. Rolling might be a better bet for sealing. It would work into defects better. They sell a two part epoxy primer that would be my first step. https://www.monstaliner.com/

I assume the frame will be welded? Welded aluminum frames can develop stress cracks from twisting. You do have a short bed, so that helps. After you get the bed off, lay a length of steel or aluminum across the front and rear mounts. Lift one wheel till you get maximum twist and see how the...
