    2016 Tacoma

    How about no need to get a package for a locker. I built a Silverado a while back (just out of curiousity, no intention of buying) and you can get one for like 3 or 4 hundred extra on a base model 4x4. I'd love that option from the factory. PLus, more trucks out there with lockers!

    How do you travel with your pets?

    Built a pooch platform so the dog has a flat area in the cab of the truck. I just lay a blanket on it and she loves it.

    Mercedes Benz Sprinter 4x4. Thoughts?

    Thanks for the info, Mike. I just saw the article pop up on Motor Trend and thought it must be new. Haha, should have searched more first.

    Thinking about buying a toyota

    I think either a Taco or T4R will be quite reliable even with high mileage as long as its been maintained fairly well.

    Mercedes Benz Sprinter 4x4. Thoughts?

    This seems like it could have some popularity on the forum in the future: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/minivans-vans/1411_2015_mercedes_benz_sprinter_4x4_first_drive/ I imagine the capabilities are enough to get most places folks would want to go with plenty of space. I won't be...

    Unexpectedly got a gem top for my Taco...few quick questions

    Hey, I got it on about a week ago and bedlined it this weekend. Looks pretty good. Not as slick as some of the fiberglass ones but I kind of like it. It is unique lol. I will probably dress up the inside of the cab with some paint eventually but that is far from a priority right now. This...

    why 33s and not 32s?

    I love my 32s (265/75r16) but sometimes wish I went with the 235/85s to get a e range tire without sacrificing too much in the weight department. I don't think there is a huge advantage to 33s over 32s-1/2 an inch more under the axle??? I'd love to eventually do the whole regear (and add...

    2000's-ish 4Runner for Expo Build?

    When you say "exploring," what do you have in mind? If you are hauling a wife, 3 kids, and a dog the 4 runner might be too small. For most scenarios, I would say it is a very adaptable platform.

    How about that 4runner (hilux surf?) sitting next to it? Idk, I probably wouldn't go for it.

    Truck camper combo for family of four - Advice please.

    Don't have any experience that could help (wish I did). I can't help but think if you're looking at a big platform like full size diesels, you should be able to make it work. Definitely a challenge from overseas, though. Love the land rover.
