Awesome Truck. In the day and age of bloated 4x4's running quad cabs and the interior that might be found in a limo, I am always refreshed to see something simple. Even more so anything regular cab this old benz screams function above comfort and fancy. Or, in short everything a truck used to...

The new/ current gen InReach seems to be a really solid device. The older ones, not so much. What is appealing about the inreach is that you are able to link it to your phone. You can also send texts from it to other peoples phones. You can go in and pre program your account with x number of...

This is wicked cool. Old stuff and unusual overlanding stuff is always great to read about. Best of luck on the journey.

Funny thing... as of Oct 1 2018 they were still updating their facebook page. However, several links on their website appear to be down or not working.

Well, this was a rather long delay. Sorry about that. Brake lines, inner fender flare, chains smacked about on the control arms etc etc. With stock wheel and tire size there just is not enough clearance. I have read about some folks ( as mentioned ) who have made it work using off set rims and...

looking good so far. good choice with the mid rise topper. Those few extra inches make all the difference in the world when you are trying to sleep/ sit up/ live out of there. Not to mention the ability to build a larger storage area while still having space to sleep. Look forward to seeing...

For what it is worth, my regular cab tacoma handles that bike on a hitch rack riding off the 2 inch hitch no problems, so on an RV it would have no problems.

The " baby " KLR is another great option. The biggest difference between the Super Sherpa and the KLR 250 is the KLR has two mini radiators and a small fan. It is also kick start only. Super light ( under 300 lbs ) will zip along between 60 and 70 depending on elevation gearing and load, is darn...

The v6 in that truck in the Toyota 3.0, also known as the " 3slow" This motor is known for chewing through head gaskets, and having a stupid number of vacuum lines. On top of that, it is under powered, and tends to leak. I had a 95 4 runner with that motor and was constantly chasing oil...

the 5.10 canyon shoes are rock solid, ugly as hell and have awesome super sticky rubber I am huge fan of the chaco Z2 but if you want something with a closed toe also check out the Chaco outcross. A few of the raft guids at the company I work out have good things to say about them. I would...

I find that most things involving 4x4s are a compromise. At the end of the day, with out tossing a lot of money at a stock truck it is not going to be some wicked gnarly off roader. But a good set of tires and simple suspension will take the truck 99 percent of where most of us run our rigs. My...

Yes. I am fairly sure they are a dealer. They said they do at least 40 tacomas a year when people are looking to run a FWC. I looked long and hard at the Dakar Heavies. They are still on the table, but for the every day use it gets, They may be over kill. And, I was worried about getting more...

This is for sure the way to go. I was about 1100 out the door for a custom build on the leafs out back and 5100's installed all the way around. Way better then stock, compareable to a lot of the big names in off road suspension, and they dialed it in for my needs. IE, I wanted a better ride, and...

There just is not enough clearance. Plastic, fenders, brake lines, steering components etc. I know of some folks playing with tire size and off set rims to get the room they need, and a few folks have run chains in the rear and thinner cable styles up front. I am not sure on the first gen...

Is the price 14k? Posting is not fully clear on the matter. This is an awesome looking bike ! good luck with the sale, im heading back to my sad tired KLR 250 for now. KTM beckons... one day.

Nice looking truck. I think this was a good choice. with the lift and tire combo you have on now, you will be rater surprised just how many places you can get that truck as is. Honestly, the biggest challenge is width and length. That thing will be night and day in terms of towing the trailer...

Get the Smallest trailer you can that can hold the tractor as well. MPG is going to be in the tank no matter what. Reducing down to one axel will decrease drag and should help a bit. I guess it really depends on the weight of the tractor, if that was not part of the equation, you could no...

Glad you were able to go and check it out in person. I liked the ford V10 for useable power, but the one we had chewed through a few transmissions. Then again, it was a work truck year round, and ran a plow 4 months out of the year. So... Can't judge it too much on that alone. It looks like a...

The ford v10 of that era is decently reliable, but rather thirsty. Had one in a truck and was stoked any time it went into double digit MPG. That inside of that van seems to be well set up. The bed slide is a nice touch, although not a light one. I think that at one point quigly put these kits...

I have not been able to find the data that was requested on my paperwork. It is a rather old school hand written carbon copy style write up. Grease marks and all. I like it. I will try and swing by the shop this week and just ask the dudes who did the work them selves.
