    Flyer's '02 Tundra adventure build

    Timing belt replacement Most of my early service was done by my local Toyota dealer. As luck would have it, my neighbor 2 houses over was the service manager at the dealership. We were friends before I bought the truck, and it's a long story but he would drive my truck to work, have it...

    Flyer's '02 Tundra adventure build

    Thanks AaronK. I actually tried to buy a green SR5 model, but ended up with the black Limited for the same price (after 5+ hours of negotiating). I've never regretted that decision.

    Flyer's '02 Tundra adventure build

    Coilover Rebuild My Donahoes lasted about 10 years before the shaft seals started weeping... pretty good, I reckon. I found a small, local shop to rebuild them for me while I was gone (I work far away from home for weeks at a time...), and the guy did a nice job. Here are some pics of the...

    Flyer's '02 Tundra adventure build

    So..... I bought this 02 Tundra TRD AC Ltd new in August 2002 after driving the wheels off my old '86 Ranger XL. After almost 14 years, I'm finally getting around to building it out for adventure! This truck was my first new vehicle, and it has truly been a joy to own. I bought the A.R.E...

    40 Guy builds a 100 Series

    I found the seller you mentioned on Ebay, and he is calling his snorkel for 90 series LC's. Is this the one you bought? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stone-For-96-03-Toyota-90-series-Landcruiser-Prado-Snorkel-Air-Intake-Snorkeling-/171042153598?hash=item27d2e8247e:g:0BkAAOSwNSxVfnf8&vxp=mtr

    Baroud Grand Raid on '02 Tundra?

    Chaingangster, I'm in the same exact boat as far as wishing I'd bought a DC. Bought my AC new, and it currently has 180k on it, runs flawlessly, and it's paid off. My daughter still uses a booster, but she will be heavy enough to forego it soon. My wife is short, so daughter sits behind...

    Camping and adventure roads near Pioneertown?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I think my plan is to take Berdoo Canyon rd from Dillon into JT on Friday and camp for the night at White Tank or one of the other campgrounds in the park. Saturday we'll cruise around and maybe exit Old Dale/Gold Crown Rd. I expect I'll be fine in my Tundra...

    Baroud Grand Raid on '02 Tundra?

    Ended up going with the Evasion Evo... a much better fit than the Grand Raid XXL. I bought mine through Bruce at Nomad Ventures also. He's a really nice guy, and his crew did a fine job on the installation. Bruce even followed up with me a few days later to thank me for my business and make...

    Camping and adventure roads near Pioneertown?

    Heading to Pioneertown in April, and I'm looking for some advice on nearby trails and dispersed camping areas. I'm sure this has been asked so many times before, so please forgive my ignorance. My wife has never been to JT or seen the desert sky at night, and I haven't been there since I was...

    Post up your drawer/storage system

    It's heavy and a bit too flexible for drawers, IMHO.

    06 Tundra DC 4x4 for sale

    I don't know this truck personally, but a friend of a friend is selling it so I thought I'd post it up here. Might make a nice project truck for someone. https://slo.craigslist.org/cto/5333966427.html

    Baroud Grand Raid on '02 Tundra?

    Thanks Dartman. Great pics too... the black looks sharp. So do you feel like 2 adults and a 7 y.o. could be reasonably comfortable in the Explorer Evo? Also, what is the difference between the Evasion and the Explorer? As far as I can tell, the dimensions are the same. BTW, who did you...

    Baroud Grand Raid on '02 Tundra?

    Hi Rin, I'm 6' even, and my wife is 5'3". My daughter is 7, not sure of her ht exactly but you get the idea. We are downsizing/upgrading from a 23' Prowler trailer to an adventure-ready Tundra, and I want the widest sleeping area possible in a hardshell tent. My truck bed is 6', so I know it...

    2004 Tundra Adventure Cab - Build/Adventure Thread

    If you haven't sold it yet, I'm in the market. I'm in Morro Bay, so I could drive out and pick it up. I planned on ordering a front bumper from Brute Force anyway. I tried to send a pm but your inbox was full. Thanks, Paul

    Baroud Grand Raid on '02 Tundra?

    Hello ExPo people, I'm starting an overlander build on my 02 Tundra 4x Ltd AC, and presently I am in the market for a RTT. I've pretty much settled on James Baroud, and now it's a question of what will fit. Initially I thought the new Evasion Evo was the easy choice, but after watching a...
