Simpler than I though! :) Thanks! Although adding a fuse box under my hood so may take some research.... :)

https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/d/2006-toyota-tundra-sr5-access/6613912697.html Mike, I 2nd what @Kpack says... I have been trying to help a buddy find a Double Cab and found this one.. I know NOTHING about it, but thought the link might be worth a look for you. Best of luck!

I am curious if you still recall how you did this? :) Would be a nice addition to my DC for the kiddos. Thanks!

Any update on these? Also be curious to see some homemade similar alternatives?

This thread has some good info, debating this myself.. thank you

Great build and story. Your truck looks vaguely familiar somehow... :)

@Kpack I'd love to hit the NW Overland Rally, but have a schedule conflict. Debating the one up North of me in Canada if I can arrange my schedule. Would be fun to do something this summer.

I am in Whatcom County as well, we could have a Gen 1Tundra party... LOL

Got a buddy you can swap wheels with for a drive? If I lived closer to ya I'd work something out with you.

No, I tried doing a seat swap, but air bag connectors and power never lined up. At this point I think a custom job is about my only option... I miss the powered leather seat from my 01 Limited.

Thanks @Lotsoftoys..... not so sure I'm willing to tackle that on my own... :)

I would hate to take apart a new leaf pack. Could I measure Bump using the OEM leaf pack? Has someone done this on a similar setup that I am considering? How critical is this measurement to actual performance? Are the measurements on my current Bilsteins useful at all in this calc?

I usually tend to overthink these things... :) Once I get the Leaf Spring all dialed in, I'm leaning toward custom Kings in the rear. Direct from King they start at $489.99 per side for a 2.5” body piggy back shock. I can't imagine I would want to many custom options to drive that price up...

I agree that 2.5s are ideal, but what shock, and how best does one analyze how well it will complement what is on the front? I run Kings on the front, and am hoping to find something that compliments this without going full on custom. But, looks like that may be the way I have to go....

Now all we have to do is figure out what size shock and what one best compliments our front end! ;)

I'd call Alaska Tent and Tarp and speak with them. They sell canvas tents, have some new designs I have not seen before, and are the makers of the Arctic Oven. They can walk you through your questions. They might even be able to point you to a place that would let you rent one to try it out...

If you look a the last link I provided (provided below as well) you can see that Cabela's changed the color on my tent to a Greenish blue and Gray mix with their most recent update to the tent. http://bit.ly/2H85UIV Its an 8 man tent, huge spacious ceiling. The North Face ve25 is a much smaller...

I've walked through a bad neighborhood or two and came out without any damage, but I make a point of either avoiding such areas or being "prepared." I think it is that way with bears as well. Don't get comfortable with them just because you have had previous good experiences, or been lucky...

As for mold issues, I always set mine up in the garage after a trip. Cleaned off the floor, set up the tent; and then turned some fans on. The next day I took a damp cloth and wiped the tent down where ever I could see dirt, dead bugs, etc. Then turned the fans back on and let it dry some...

I like the Arctic Oven's for their design intent; cold nasty weather. With a stove inside you could live all winter in one.... But, IMHO they are large and bulky and heavy and probably overkill for most car camping and L48 usage. I've been in their Anchorage shop many times. Great folks and...
