Just brainstorming here... There are a variety of hood supports used on all kinds of vehicles. Vintage MGBs have one that comes to mind. (I'm a Triumph guy, so I don't have personal experience). Here's a sliding prop rod with provision for latch pin as an example. There are probably many...

During a visit to Prescott on April 8 I had the chance to stop by AT Overland Equipment, and Martyn was generous enough to give me a tour. I saw a whole bunch of Tacoma Habitats in production or getting staged for production and we discussed a number of details about their design and...

Some other angles of the 235/85-16 BFG AT KOs on my Gen 1 2001 Tacoma DC. They seem just the right size to my taste.

I have original BFG AT KOs on my 2001 DC, in 235-85/16, and I've been very happy with them. They like to be rotated every 5kmi or so. When these are gone I fully expect to go with KO2s (or who knows, maybe KO3s by then).

I loved my 1988 XJ Limited -- 300k mi all over the country. Reliable (in terms of not stranding me -- the maintenance budget was getting close to replacement cost) and comfortable. The rocker panel, lower door, and quarter panel rust led to its sale a year or so ago as it was just getting to...

I have a set of Escape Gear Jeep JK covers on my 2001 Tacoma DC. Not a perfect fit, but really not too bad -- Paul has a thread on here from a few years ago on this application. The canvas is durable and comfortable in all weather. I'm very happy with Escape Gear and would recommend them...

Or perhaps your dealer. Have you tried a different one for service?

Good luck! This is a lot of fun to follow. Thanks for the super reports.

Black.

I got in early -- just about an hour after it opened, when everything was available -- but also haven't heard back since my order receipt. Not a problem though. It'll be months before I'm out with my Tacoma. Indeed -- thanks for the offer, Maxtrax.

I've had decent results with rattle-can "implement paint" from the tractor store. As noted, good preparation is *everything*. Those implement paints have a much longer drying time, too -- think weeks before putting the work into service. Having spent most of my professional life in coatings...

Mike, I'm driving next five hours. I'll send pm when I'm home. Something might make sense using STL inbound. What are "cousins" for, eh? Don Hiscock

I've thought about your rack project more than once over those four years, maxingout, and although I haven't copied it (yet), it's one of the neatest racks out there. Thanks for the update.

Nice to see scenes being "out there". Have fun with the truck -- the Tacoma is a terrific platform!

Aw, crap, Mike. What a fiasco. So sorry. If you need "local" help, lemme know -- I'm about three hours away and have a driveway at your disposal. Don

Terrific story! Thanks for telling it, especially the pix. Enjoy your new old Jeep.

I'll buy that. The 100-series is a lot bigger than my little Tacoma, and it's hard to calibrate tire sizes. If that LC in your parking lot photo has 235's, then I'll go along with 255 on the op's question.

Boy, I dunno about the 255 hypothesis. I might have guessed 235/85-16. Here's that size on my Tacoma:

Xrunner, I've resolved my earlier question about COO (if you saw it before these edits). I'm in for: 2 brass 2 candle tube kit bags 2 small stands 1 mozzie pad clip -- if these aren't already included in the candle tube kits. The Bushlite ZA and UK sites seem to give different information...

Great work, Mario and Martyn -- looks terrific! Another Gen 1 (2001 Tacoma double cab) owner here following AT Overland's developments with high interest...
