Have you looked at ours? Lockable cap, similar to a gas cap, and can be key matched to your existing key. The lid clicks into the open position, so you are not fighting it. It is held shut by neodymium magnets. Made in Austria. Best quality I have seen. See it here...

The issue, going back to the initial post, was whether it is a good idea to bolt a chassis mount body directly to a Tacoma frame. The frame alone is very happy to twist, so whatever body is mounted must move with it, or be strong enough to resist the movement. The bed moves with it, but the...

The floor of the bed is very flexible, even though it is webbed. As stated, the top is open, and so is the back. The front bulkhead is all that stiffens the bed, and it is against the cab. It is similar to a 3 point mounting system. The front double mount can be fairly rigid, but the frame...

I have looked at the flex in the past, but I did not do a measured comparison this time because it didn't matter to me. The bed has very little effect on the flexing of the frame. As others have noted, Tacomas are LIGHT trucks. They can carry substantial loads for short distances, but any...

Here are some actual measurements that might be helpful. We used a forklift to raise one rear tire until we gained maximum twist in the frame on 2007 access cab, w/6' bed. These measurements were taken with the bed removed. I have a CBI Moab bumper on the truck which stiffens the rear a good...

Where did you find the 150 psi requirement? The compressors that ARB sells to activate their lockers cut out at 100psi. I have heard that the newest lockers sometimes require more pressure to activate, but the older ones will activate at around 40 psi. I'm not saying that is good place to run...

NO, you definitely want the line going to the ARB solenoids regulated somewhere between 80 -90. Post your run times once you measure them!

This worked well for me, and 559 others: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00URUIKAK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think the locker only requires 80-90 psi, and mine don't seem to lose air. I've never timed how long it will stay locked on one 2 gal tank, but it's many hours. My compressor almost never cycles once locked. One thing to consider though. I don't know what happens when you get down to the...

For a space this size, the Wave 6 is almost unusable. I used a wave 6 to heat a 32 foot Airstream. I had a camper that was 8x6x5 inside, lightly insulated, and even the wave 3 was too many BTU for much of my camping. I ended up putting in a way to drop the minimum setting considerably; barely...

I assume you are talking about a fiberglass shell? I would use a waterproof epoxy putty. Most hardware stores have some version of this. There are many brands. Here is one...

Sounds to me like a measurement problem, rather than a heater problem. Is your safe-T-alert very near the heater? The alarm could just be a delayed reaction to unburned gasses during start-up. The chemical in propane that makes it stink has an odor threshold of about 1PPB (parts per Billion)...

There are two issues to consider. The most obvious is whether the camper can take the twisting. The other is whether you want the chassis flexibility limited by something rigid like a camper. Most trucks are built on ladder frames because it allows for flexibility. In most trucks that is a...

I would build an isolation cradle for it. The Tacoma frame is very flexible, and that is best maintained. The bed area is pretty short, but a direct bolt is likely to have issues.

I've been doing my own repairs since the 70's on cars made since the 60's. I think it's pretty clear that the sheer number of repairs required on modern cars in the first 300,000 miles are far fewer. They are also far more costly and complicated. Older cars rarely surprised you with a...

I've never actually seen any shackle that was properly sized for the job break. As mentioned, avoiding shock loads goes a long way, and you should do that anyway. You should always have a stretching recovery strap in there if heavy shock loads are anticipated.

It should not get through the filter, but many induction systems are plastic and the whole filter housing could melt with the engine still running. That is the issue. The better extinguishers are expensive, but consider the circumstances when you might actually need it. A cheap extinguisher...

Hey Badmiker, If you look on our website there is a library. There are two PDFs there: Window front view dimensions" and "window side view dimensions". The side view dimensions have all the measurements you are asking about! I would have to talk to our manufacturer about a windowless...

Aluminum is not a condensation concern unless one side is exterior. With any of these plastic cored options, the plastic does serve as some break to the cold bridge. For interior cabinets, no it would not be a problem at all. One other advantage to this material is that it is thin and...

This is true, and a 2 ply version would likely weigh less. I have run Mastercraft (by Cooper) tires in a 2 ply E rating, and they rode very nice. True. There used to be a ton of Ds. Maybe E's are the new D's?
