Just saw the details in the description -- nicely done! Love this setup.

Perfect setup! The contractor boxes are aluminum with a steel frame? DJM

Nice rig, for sure. Seems a bit high at $160k though and with 250K miles on the engine and trans. I think the market has softened up a bit.

If only this rig was an auto vs the manual -- this is the exact setup I have been look for. Great setup!

Enjoyed your reading your story and your build videos on youtube! I am curious where your rig wound up in terms of payload capacity? Thanks! DJM

Did the sale go through?

Before you posted this, as part of my research, I did in-fact read your entire thread about spec'ing out your 3500 and your subsequent AEV work you had done. Nice rig. DJM

I appreciate all the info about 2500 vs. 3500, GVWR, and the idea on considering a newer gasser rig vs a very old diesel -- lots of useful info! In fact, I have started looking into the modern gassers; the newer gassers w/advanced engine management and advanced 8 or 10 speeeds transmissions...

All very helpful, thank you. I am indeed contemplating a camper, a flatbed model. I am just beginning the planning stages for a trip that I intend to take in a bit over 2 years: I plan to quit working and travel for 2 years. I am interested in an diesel, an older model to avoid the need for...

This is a pretty broad question, but I am bit of a noob to full size domestics. When considering 250/2500 vs. a 350/3500 series truck, I realize the GVWR and load capacity is higher on the 3500 trucks. I assume this is largely related to suspension and being sprung to carry extra loads. Are...

Interesting rig but a rather optimistic asking price, IMO.

Thanks for your reply. In my experience, a shock with a fixed spring perch is a 'strut'; I am not necessarily wrapped up in terminology, simply using terms familiar to me coming from a car background, but I do understand your point. EDIT: did not realize the Taco had a dual a-arm front setup...

Hello, I need some help figuring out what suspension to invest in for my 2012 OR AC 4x4. I am not new to suspension in general, but new to truck suspension -- so far, I've only setup track car suspension. I am a bit out of my element with trucks and have and hard time understanding what is...

This thread is a bit old, curious what the OP bought? I am biased as I have a 2012 TRD offroad I bought lightly used (3k miles on it) in 2017, got an excellent deal. I am a fan of the 2nd gens, 3rd gen, IMO, is way too expensive and honestly, I do not think Toyota has kept with the competition...

Talked to carbon core, panel was roughly $200 shipping was totally insane...something like $300-400. Ultimately, I've decided to use 1/2" maple plywood which is fairly light (32lbs for a 4'x8' sheet), and some light weight aluminum profile for supports I will have a strong platform that comes...

I am building a storage platform for my '12 Tacoma, similar to what is shown in the two attached pics (not my truck). I used a similar setup for a 2+ week trip to Baja in 2018, though mine was made with 2" x 6" cross supports and 1/2" plywood. Super simple solution, works well, but is quite...

This was my maiden voyage in my GFC -- it was delivered in January 2020 then, of course, CV19 has curtailed things. This pic was from June 21 as I headed up to Oregon to see family and a few select friends. Boondocked in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest! DJM

Last question: that is 1"x1" 10 series profile, correct? Thanks, DJM

Well integrated -- I like it. What size profiles did you use? Thanks, DJM
