    looking for some advice on Aluminum caps.

    @\ The Alu-Cab seem like the way to go. I I was kind of hoping for a cheaper option, also read a few reports of people complaining about the leaking. Have you heard any of this?

    looking for some advice on Aluminum caps.

    Looking for some advice on Aluminum caps. I know all the companies make them. After some initial research it seems only Alu-Cab, reinforces the roof, so you can cary 500lbs. I was wondering if there are any other companies that you would recommend. Thanks

    Is the Tacoma enough truck?

    I went through this same situation. I had a 16 AC tacoma OR. It was great for just me or 1 other person. My Dog is 90 lbs, so he was not very happy in the back of truck, he even thought the front seat was little small. I also thought the bed was tight for general hauling. I now have a dodge...

    pulled the trigger

    Yeah that makes total sense, that what I figured with the modern trucks, bigger/ heavier/ faster driving speeds, = better brakes.

    pulled the trigger

    You know I have been asking myself that question. Here is what always happens to me. I say I will do the build later, then I end up going on a trip, getting stuck or needing to use my hi-lift, not having great recovery points etc... Then I get home, do some more mellow stuff, and think I am...

    pulled the trigger

    Thats what I always thought. It seems, now the most available sizes are 17's. A few years back it was 15's and 16's. Makes sense trucks keep getting bigger. I can remember when I was a kid and 18's were a huge wheel, now 20's are common, ha ha

    pulled the trigger

    Pulled the trigger yesterday and after much debate, put the deposit down on a 2018 dclb tacoma long bed. Since I wont have the truck for a few weeks here is a mock up of the build. First thing will be to join the current trend and throw some 17's on. Either going to go with 255/75/17 or...

    questions about a ute conversion

    also he says the ute bed weighs 100 lbs less, I was told Old man emu does not fit the T100. I was wondering if anybody has any recommendations for about 2 to 21/2 inch lift the T100. I have already contacted Deaver to get a quote for a rear pack. Thanks

    New T100

    I have noticed this already. It makes me second this decision. The good news is I it got for a good price, so I could make some extra cash if I want out. All that aside, They are really neat little trucks. It would be fun to take some trips in it.
