How about Camplite? A friend has one and its very nice.. all aluminum construction.. very well made, lots of floorplan options. https://www.livinlite.com/

1: Skids and sliders - you know you will wheel it before the rest is complete.. might as well preserve it. 2: CB/2M radio - Assuming you never wheel alone so communicate with your group, plus its cheap 3: Recovery gear - eventually you'll need a winch... but in the meantime buy a HiLift and some...

Man the "color" looks great with that truck... I would paint it the same... or similar.

Great pics James! BBNP is next on the list. We had a fantastic time in BBRSP, Guale 2 is a must see place. The views are incredible. Its a good 45 minutes to an hour from the ranger station in the middle of the park. We did some of the "tougher" roads but nothing really that difficult...

I had the privilege of seeing the rig this past weekend. Install is slick! Looks completely factory, very impressed! I was even more impressed when he told me he did it in a 1 car apartment garage using his wifes muscle! :). That's dedication and a good wife.

I'll be out there the following weekend with Oury. You are welcome to come out and join us.

Very cool build! Saw it on Austins Craigslist actually, sorry to see you are selling it. GLWS.

I'm running a 12VoltGuy Ultra Dual battery/ incab winch controller in my 07 Taco. Mounted the control panel in the change holder, just created a little panel to hold it. Its controlling a pair of Platinum's, one in the OE location and one in a NRA approved box inside the bed mounted tool-box...

Excellent report. It fuels my desire to go out there even more. Thanks for sharing.

I replaced my factory jack with a 6 ton bottle jack. The one I have fits in the same spot as the factory jack under the rear seat in my DC Tacoma. I know thats not vertically, but if I didn't have the speakers/amps behind the rear seat I'm confident that it would stand back there without issue.

Unless you are geared, locked and like the rocks, I would just suggest a standard replacement CV axle as a spare. For the standard Expo style trip that should be plenty. As far as I know, RCV is the only ones, so far, making upgraded 2nd Gen Taco CV's and they are not cheap. :Wow1:

Very true, you need to look at what you are doing and where you are going and determine what you 'think' you'll need. I saw some baja rigs carry a spare LCA on them, but I don't think I'll need one. I bet I just jinx'd myself. :elkgrin:

At the time it broke I had full OME setup, so about 2.75" of lift running 285 KM2's. Not locked at the time, but I did have 4.56's installed. Since then I've swapped over to Fox remote resi CO's along with an ARB locker up front and a set of RCV Ultimate Yota axles. Hopefully no more...

yes

I've broken a CV axle on the trail in my 2nd gen so I would recommend a spare. Snapped it clean in half at the hub side, luckily nothing was sticking out to flop around while driving. You can get an aftermarket unit for under $75 with a lifetime warranty from your local auto parts store. Even...

LOL.. hang on Scott. I have a couple.. but they are grouped with the others that I took that are not that great. My picture taking ability while driving still needs work. :sombrero:

Wow.. I take crummy pics. I won’t bother you with most of them. Loaded up and ready to go Anyone need anything from the Mercantile before we go? Not a place to be messing around trying to take pictures and drive. I wonder if he has his rock and roll merit badge? Unintentional Detour...

No affiliation, but here is a similar base. http://www.wabfab.org/Slider-Adapters/Wabbit-s-Foot/flypage.tpl.html

That's what ended unintended detour #1.... and the threat of several highly armed friends on the way. :costumed-smiley-007
