I am stumped on this one. Where are guys locating second batteries under the hood on a tundra. I have an octopus of a mess of brake lines on the passenger side and can't see moving enough stuff on the drivers side to fit two batteries side by side. Any suggestions. I would REALLY like to...

We went the home made route with a shur-flo pump and plate heat exchanger on the engine. I would never go back to anything else. All our hoses store in the tailgate and shower is always with us. You can recirc into a water container or have the truck running and shower. Pros: good pressure...

HOLY COW. leaky power steering hose and my local dealership wanted $800 and change for a new line. No labour... just the part. WOW. I found it out of the US for $350 but still. Went down to my local hydraulics shop and for $45 I am back in business. I also decided for the $75 to flush my...

Just put some Weathertechs in the tundra, I had Huskies in the Duramax. I like the weathertechs better. Better fit, higher dish, better finish.

$380 on parts, one loose spark plug and a throttle body I could scoop grunge off of, I am hoping I fixed my poor L/100km. Whoever decided that having a "non-serviceable" transmission with no dipstick (and hence no way to fill or check levels) should be drawn and quartered! Long life trans oil...

We have a 10% blend of ethanol in these parts as well, it does make a difference. All synthetic oil Changed the plugs New air filter (toyota) 35 psi on the way there, 55 psi on the way home (it beat the hell out of us, but I had to try) Transmission is going to get a flush and castrol transynd...

yup, I did that, it's closer to 10% according to the GPS. I even figured it out in imperial gallons just to try and make myself feel better about it. I think it's pretty common, I am going to waste some money on fuel treatment, Wynns, seafoam and a bio-diesel flush. We'll see if it helps.:Wow1:

Just thought that needed a quote in this thread. I have 5000km on the truck since purchase and I have not broken 14mpg. Our trip this weekend pulling our 18' lund was at 22L/100km or 10.7mpg doing 62mph. OUCH I can't even get 400km on a tank. Is there a larger tank option for these...

Looks Good! Welcome to Expo. Nice looking truck.

The whole A-frame is bolted on using the original hangers that I cut and welded to fit over the new tube. The receiver tube on the back of the trailer is also bolted on. These are what's on my computer. It's hard to tell but you can see the hangers welded to the tubes: And the rear, a bolt...

I think it has potential to turn into a action packer OR Scepter can holder.... :sombrero:

That's a great idea and I really like that design, I have to go measure my space and the action packers now! Thanks for posting that, it gives me a great place to start!

Thanks Mark! I have a Yakima rack for the roof as well that I am going to try and incorporate into the "system" as I would like to haul a canoe on occasion. Here's a better picture of it washed up.

With the tent load on it:

Thanks. That's the next thing on the list. I am thinking a drawer system under the dog crates to the back of the box and maybe a headache rack/platform?? Not sure yet. I needed the rack for this week so it was done quickly. Hopefully after some use we will figure out what would work the...

I ditched the whole frame and bolted on a new frame with a piece of tubing running all the way to the back of the trailer for a bike rack.

I forgot to get a picture of it deployed. Works great with the vestibule underneath. With a a different tent it could go lower. Looks a litle goofy that high on the back, but works well.

nice looking taco. I love the color!

Good to know on your rack. the sliders are weld on using plates. I thought of bolting on (I did this on my cruiser) but they have never been off and this truck will never see the abuse my 61 will. They are easy enough to make but shipping out of Canada is the killer, well that and finding the...

I just finished building this: It's a lot higher then you might want but for our ARB Simpson it should work great. Tent's going on it tonight. It's 1.5" 1/8" angle iron on the rails with a 1" angle along the cab with .120 wall 1.5" tube with a couple 1" stringers. It's under 40 pounds...
