Jones Pass the next day made up for all the disappointment of Rampart Range Road and then some. A slow but easy rocky drive to the fantastic summit and underlying gorgeous Alpine basin.

These pics are out of sequence but they are all of Garden of the gods or Rampart Range Road. Rampart Range Road was a bit of a letdown but only because of our Flagstaff SE hard sided pop up camper not being as dust tight and as well put together as we had hoped. The first third of the road was...

Driving Rampart Range Road tomorrow to Denver out of Garden of the gods in Colorado Springs. Wanted to post up some more camping spot pics and a preview.

Thanks for the tips! I’m not sure if we will have time today for either but I’d love to see both!

Here’s the campsite from day 2:

Thanks CK. We are in Athens TX today and Amarillo tomorrow. Headed through DFW to Amarillo, then north to Denver, through Garden of the Gods or Flaming Gorge (I don’t remember which) then into RMNP for a few days, across to Yellowstone and then over to WA through Spokane to spend some time...

Nice ?? yes, very similar! We’re really excited to get some distance on FL and get off-road. We’ll post up some pics every few days I think.

Thanks Skip!

Leaving FL today heading to Texas first. Some good, some bad already. :cool:

I appreciate what you’re saying and I have experienced the short trip overload with my current Tacoma set up when I was hauling too much sacrete in the bed. Horrible and slow experience for sure. It did give me some perspective on my current build and an example of its limitations regarding...

I was just thinking it might be because you Dodge guys have been hijackin all the other brands threads? ;) I was just looking back over the thread and was cracking up when a good part of the conversation was RAM guys arguing about RAM stuff. Lol. I get that you all really like your big trucks...

I’m a little surprised by the call outs. :unsure: Could because I said “by 2500#” instead of TO 2500#?! My mistake. Sorry about that. To clarify....I think I’ve increased the useful load, or “ payload” to 2500#. So an increase of about 1,105# over stock. As an aside, the Pre Runner from the...

Ok, so here’s my take. Let’s not forget about Gross Combined Vehicle Weight ratings! My Taco drives and handles like a dream. WAAAAY better than factory. When I’m connected to my trailer(3500# wet) I’m under the GCWR. I think that’s good if I’m ever in a jurisdiction that cares ....or can...

Yes, a combo of factors for sure. Axle upgrades are on my to do list still but I’ve been thinking they play a bigger role in towing capacity and not as directly in GVWR. I’ll have to check on the difference between the stock tires and mine but I was thinking there was a more significant gain...

Combination of upgrades in theory increases useful load? Icon Stage 7 suspension w/rear shock upgrades and a 2.75-3” lift, All Pro Expedition springs, u bolt flip, better bump stops, 11.5x 33” Nitto’s with 3750# max load tires, At The Helm bed stiffeners, re-gear to 4.56 Yukon’s front and rear...

I was test fitting a fabricated bracket and mounting system. I made some changes to the final and will post pics when it’s completed. Got my Re-gear completed too. Man there’s a serious break in period for the Yukon/Grizzly gears! I’m not sure about the road speed vs rpm at 70-75 mph....but I...

I finally made some progress on my transmission cooler install!

Pm sent and conversation underway. Thanks Ward. I’ve been interested in the long range replacement tanks for several years. They are a great option for those of us who tow a small trailer/camper as the options for installing either Jerry cans or rotopax typically conflict with hitch platforms...

Thank you! I’m in N FL, near Lake City. I will be headed to SW Canada and many places in between this June/July. Where is Cruiser Brothers? I’ll check out your pdf’s in the AM. The Gen2 acess cab long bed has the same frame configuration as the 4 door short beds. I think there’s a bracket or...

Ward Harris, can you please share a link to your company and advise as to an extended range tank available in USA for a Gen 2 Tacoma Access cab long bed Off Road model?
