We were up to the design phase on TetonX's wait list (that was after the Cricket investigations) and backed out due to the mentioned late in the process realization of lack of trailer desire. We visited with Kyle and Lindsey twice at Expo in Flag (we’re in Phoenix) and twice in St George. Saw...

I’d be all over this if it wasn’t a diesel. It’s a very nice rig And so tempting. Have been inside a similar one, they are sweet. I have some mild asthma so the diesel exhaust is a problem. Pus I’m no mechanic. Is the flat bed so specific to your truck it couldn’t be move to another HD truck?

18 mos ago woulda been all over this… up until the time my wife nixed a trailer. We almost bought a new one, but had qualms about ruggedness for where we want to go — which seems like you’ve modified away quite well. How does it trailer on the road? And what are you gonna replace it with?

Really great clean looking build. Functional and beautiful too! I’ve been learning a lot for my upcoming pop-up camper build out. I thought the Hiatus campers looked great, but was surprised to see their website saying they weren’t even going to do any new builds until July 2021. I have an...

Thanks, that’s encouraging feedback. I still may consider 35s to start, hold the locker to see if the diff needs to be opened for one or both upgrades and then regear and add a locker if I find one or the other a problem. IMO the A-trac in the second gen Tacoma’s is good as is, and I probably...

Thanks! That’s all very helpful. I’m pretty much resigned to making the change. Do you find it’s width and turning radius or more break over and departure on tight trails? Wheelbase is my biggest concern, I think. It’s handleable to some degree, I guess with larger tires, removing the hitch...

Great build! Your previous Tacoma build was really impressive as well. I have an Ovrlnd camper on order from Jay currently. Since you’re the only one I know who has had one of these on both a Tacoma and a Tundra I’m hoping you could share a little bit about the differences in platform as I’m on...

What are the dimensions of the bed (sleeping, not truck) and what’s the wheelbase? Are you the nice folks who gave us the guided tour of your XP down at the Virgin river near St George in Oct 2018? We were in a white 4Runner?

Whoops, all the ads threw me off. I see the rest of the posts. Sorry

Are you selling both truck and camper, or just truck? Might have interest either way. What’s prompting you to sell?

With some Expo-**** I found it: https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/help-i-bought-an-overweight-overlander.212380/ Pretty sure (have a mutual acquaintance who knew the trucks condition well) the original owner/builder was maintaining it well and honest about its condition on sale...

FWIW — here’s a thread I started on the same question. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/what-have-you-broken-replaced-on-your-overweight-tacoma.208233/ It had some good info for me, I thought. Still struggling with what to do though. There’s another thread on Expo somewhere...

Whoops! Never mind White Dog. Just saw your comprehensive thread further down that pretty much answers my questions … well except for why Toyota has their heads up their butts on lockers … sigh …

White Dog — great comparison! I’m committed to getting a FWC Hawk, but on the fence between Tundra and F250/350. Don’t mean to thread-jack here, but could you comment bit on how your Tundra is set up for the Grandby? Mods, weight vs sticker payload, performance, driving comfort, and especially...

Getting ready to order a Hawk. What was your total lead time quoted from. FWC/dealer?

Gotta taper/round-off the rear end too if you want to reduce aerodynamic drag . . .

Hey TacoToTheWorld — Did you end up getting the seats? Still trying to learn how they work/fit our trucks. Let us know when you get them and how went when you get a chance. Thanks!

Never mind. Found the Tacoma World thread. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/fs-front-seat-jackers-billet-spacers-lifts-the-front-of-the-seat-3rd-gen.607482/ for anyone else interested. People seem to love 'em.

Will these help with back strain? I’m 6’2” 34” inseam and my backs kills me, but never thought about my thighs not being supported

There definitely are. Try Dr. Jo on YouTube in the meantime. She’s a good PT and explains/shows the exercise/stretches clearly. Good luck!
