Most excellent choice. Welcome from Hawkeye Rovi the "Fauxpro"

I went with the Hitchgate for the Tundra. For a number of reasons, that may not square with your requirements. First thing, their are only one or two swing-away bumper setups out there for hte Tundra and they are ridiculously expensive. Second, I like having the option to remove the tire...

I removed mine just because, I have a 2014 with 295's a 3.5"(ish) mid-travel lift (with new UCA's), and once aligned I don't get any rubbing on the body mounts. My sister has a 2012 with a 3/1 leveling kit and 295's also and she does rub on her body mounts. She is going to get them chopped.

Hey, thanks. It's not custom at all, it's a Wilco Off-Road Hitchgate (offset model) Attaches into the ClassIII/IV hitch. functions slick as doggy-do, I love it.

Congrats. Love my Tundra, one of the best decisions I ever made....no looking back.

I used to cringe at the price-tags on those full size global adventure type vehicles. Then my Wife and I decided to make some changes in life, sell our motorcycles, our kitted out Xterra, our travel trailer and consolidate all our adventure wants and needs into one package. We narrowed down our...

The offset Hitchgate is the perfect solution for my needs. I can remove it easily enough. It allows me the ability to now carry two full size spares (one on the stock location) if we feel the need. I normally keep it on the truck with only the spare wheel attached, and can add extra fuel, water...

I have the Hitchgate offset model, with dual fuel can holder and Hi-Lift jack mount and have been very satisfied so far. This setup will allow me to bring two full size spares along if need be (one in the standard location, and the second on the Hitchgate) Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

I looked seriously at the Power Wagon as well. At the end of the day I decided to spend my money on what I consider to be a more reliable and time proven drivetrain. I can add my own lockers, so the only thing I'm really giving up is the solid front axle, which I'm ok with given what I get in...

Great write-up, looks fantastic. How did that point of no return feel when you started cutting? I installed my Slimline bumper on my Tundra last weekend, and that was certainly the point where I went "well, here goes". The Southern Style Offroad bumpers sure are a good quality piece of kit...

I came from an 07 Xterra with the 4.0 V6, and now have the Tundra. The Xterra towed our 3800(ish) pound travel trailer, but complained about it going up grades and in the mountains, and got worse mileage towing than our Tundra does. The Tundra could tow the travel trailer uphill in 110* weather...

A little day trip to the Similkameen River for some well deserved R&R.

Yeh, I personally would stay away from a salvage title. You have no idea what was damaged (even though the seller says just a bumper....)

New bumper and winch installed finally.

Nice. I'm having some 38 gallon tank envy. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Most excellent. You had me at "trains". And once again, it re-affirms the fact that I live in the most beautiful place in the world.

Another vote to keep the Tacoma. I'd be willing to bet that once you kit out a new truck, the mileage won't be where you think it should, or wanted it to be. We purchased a Mini Cooper for $10K for my Wife to drive and our Tundra/camper setup gets used only for outings, adventures, etc. Having...

I have the L:enovo Tab A4 10" and run my Backcountry Navigator on it, along with a few other mapping, adventure apps (like iOverlander) and it works just fine. I just ordered a RAM mount to set it up in my truck. I try to keep the tablet running lean, and only use it for mapping.
