    Need help deciding, Why a Tacoma over a full size truck?

    What I'm thinking about is to get another set of wheels with larger, more aggressive tires for trip use. I can keep the stock tires and get the miles out of them, and that size tire for daily use as my Tacoma is my daily driver. My Jeep TJ has never been a daily driver and has Goodyear MT/Rs...

    Need help deciding, Why a Tacoma over a full size truck?

    I really am enjoying my 2019 Tacoma TRD OR. Although the Goodyear Wrangler tires are OEM (cheaper built) then the same non OEM versions, at least as far as traction, I've had no complaints in rain to light snow in rear wheel drive. I'll be curious about wear? I could see going up a size to...

    Need help deciding, Why a Tacoma over a full size truck?

    I recently bought a new Tacoma (I buy new as I keep my vehicles a long time). My ideal setup would be a 2500 Cummins Ram with an Alaskan camper. The 2500 for plenty of power and payload, and an Alaskan for long distance travel. However that can be around $100k for that setup, which I’m on a plan...

    Living in my Tacoma + Four Wheel Camper: The Build

    Subscribed, and nice video! I bought a Tacoma recently for a second build. I'd really like to obtain a FWC Fleet Shell myself, so let us know all about yours!

    How often do you disconnect?

    I looked into all that, and instead I went with a Currie Antirock. (y)

    Four Wheel Camper ‘Project M’

    Power Wagon will be awesome! Good point about having a room along with sleeping.

    Four Wheel Camper ‘Project M’

    I'll look forward to hearing about yours too. What's the truck you're putting this on? I do like that the Project M is easy (or easier) to remove being that their FWC jacks can be attached, as I for one would not want a camper to always reside on my Tacoma. For the price, I think it's...

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    I recently bought a '19 Tacoma. I'm actually surprised with myself that I didn't buy a Gladiator, being a Jeep guy? But, had bought a 2018 4Runner Limited for the wife, which is awesome, and I kept looking at the Tacomas? Plus, what I like is it being an extended cab, 6 ft. bed, rear locker...

    Towing with a 2 Door JL

    My TJ has about a 3-1/2” lift, currently on 33” tires. It’s well setup that it’s very stable. It even has the floaty feeling as a result of a front Currie AntiRock. I originally had in my head when I bought my TJ new to tow a trailer with it. (Which greatly expands the comfort factor of...

    2020 Rubicon Special Edition Recon...Coming Soon to A Dealer Near You

    I was watching TFL on YouTube yesterday of GMC's 2021 trucks/suvs, and a number of them had red tow hooks in front. I was thinking, where did I see that?! Call it flattery I guess? It is kind of interesting calling attention to tow hooks with red paint like you're going to need them?!

    Adventures of Hodor, A Gladiator Build Thread

    ^I recently got a Tacoma, which have less payload over Gladiators. Mine has about as much as I could get for a stock 4x4 at 1140. Tough to make that work with all of the stuff one can throw at a mid-size truck... Anyway, the Alu-cab looks awesome and can certainly fit in to a midsize truck's...

    Increasing Tacoma's GVWR

    I just bought an access cab Tacoma, for not needing a rear seat, having a six-foot bed, and more payload over a double-cab. According to the sticker, it's a huge 1150#s. Funny, there is also a small yellow sticker inside the door that says "additional options have decreased payload by 10#s." So...

    Could you tell us what the payload sticker says on your JT? Also, any idea what the expected dry weight is (as ordered) for your Alu-Cab? Thanks.

    Its obvious how load range affects tire load capacity, but how do higher and lower load ranges effect offroad performance

    I had always heard that too. With running Goodyear MT/Rs, I went from 32" Cs to 33" Es and noticed no difference in ride.

    Thinking of going from Tacoma to 4Runner

    My wife has a 2018 4Runner Limited, and I recently bought a 2019 Tacoma TRD Off-Road Access Cab. The 4R has a softer ride, softer brakes, and the transmission is more immediately responsive. The interior feels spacious. We took two friends on a week long trip with us and we had plenty of room...
