Europe doesn't fall behind NA regarding quality of roads and you can buy Hilux/equivalent size pickups, and you rarely see Tacoma's or other US specific models. It's something else. More like combination of culture and industry strategy. First of all, it's not about "Hilux" but more accurate as...

I think Lockers and axles shafts and suspension parts are mostly not interchangeable so it’s not identical in different costume. Slowly..

I relate to the apples and squirrels that were competed here.. The Hilux keeps the load rating everywhere it’s sold. The ranger doesn’t, and you still doesn’t see the crowds standing inline for rangers.. But we’re drifting from the main title of this tread. Slowly..

Tacoma in not a hilux, to start with, different frame, suspension and lots more. Regarding comparison to the ranger, there is a “small” difference in payload. The hilux is rated over 2200lb (full metric ton) payload, 600lb more then the ranger. I can’t see the ranger even getting close to...

You sound, literally, like someone who cares for your surrounding. Your not the majority.. Down wind, you hear generator from quit a distance, especially the monotonous pitch sounds.

If you camp alone with no neighbors you can spot with your eyes, then generator is a simple solution. If there is another person in proximity to you, a generator is one of the more annoying noise you can meet when you go for camping . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The body is sitting on rubber bushings, and the original negative wire is not suited for heavy or distant installations. I’ve added a second negative wire to the frame (10awg easier then replacing the original one). And added a new negative wire from the frame to the trucks bed. I can see the...

I’ve used “blind pop rivets” To build my trucks bed drawers and storage space made from square aluminum tubes(old window frames). Easy to work with, strong (airplanes are built this way..). Water tank frame:

non. it's an expensive name for a big wok. We use a big wok on a coleman stove, does everything you do with a skottle (we didn't even knew it has an aristocrat cousin..)

You got it all wrong.. Not enough solar=no electricity for the fridge to cool the beer=hot beer and spoiled meat for food=you need to put down the current beer you hold , take **************** of the chair and start the engine to idle for hours to charge the battery to get the next cold beer.. And then...

That’s not the issue.. If you install the panel in a fixed flat position, you lose significant amount of the panel performance. I don’t understand why people install it in a fixed flat position rather then in a movable option. Say, when you camp, you adjust the angle. Sent from my iPhone...

Question to all those who install a solar panel horizontal on the truck/trailer roof: Usually, during the day, when the sun is directly above you, in a good angle for horizontal panels, you (at least I do..) are on the move, Hanse, you charge with your alternator., and the panel’s charge in...

Friend upgraded from a 1997 hilux to a 2018 diesel Hilux. He think it’s better in every aspect in overall performance. Yes, The front independent suspension travel is inferior to the live axle, but that’s about it.

Never said that.. The Prado is what you have as Lexus GX450, not the 4Runner. The point is, If you drive a Tacoma/equivalently sized pickup, when it’s you, your girlfriend and maybe a dog (reminder.. this was the starting point for this treed..), , and you’re short in cargo space, the problem...

Appeals to apples you said.. The LC79 load capacity and size are more comparable to ford 350 shortbed, it carries more then metric ton, and much bigger then medium sized ranger. The rest of the world outside North America refer to what you guys call “small trucks” as the main work horses, and...

Is it the weight limit or the space in the bed? We (2+2) manage to get everything we need for a 4-day off road trip before we need refueling/re-supply. Fridge, second 50L cooler, fire wood, tent, tools, kitchen, big first-aid kit, spare parts, shade, small compressor, 50Lwater tank, 4...

Less chance for water splash into the air intake then front inlet.

I’ve spread an open element filter, it had about half the filtering area of a OEM Toyota air filter. The shape of the filter does not effect but the filtering area and the tubing to and from the filtering element.

High flow air filtering element.. That’s something I used for short time, took out of the truck, and would not do again. There is no more air without less filtering, and less filtering don’t do good to engines off-road. Short web research shows the numbers very good. You’ll be surprised to see...
