The biggest reasons I chose no windows was to reduce potential leaks/dust ingress and reduce points of failure. I also appreciate the added privacy and security. Also, IMO, the shell is stronger (more rigid) the less holes it has cut into it. Were I to order a new one today, I would even delete...
Ran the truck up to Saline Valley this weekend. Came in through the north pass and exited via the south pass so we ran some good distance at speed on one of the more notorious washboard roads in North America. Headed out from south pass to Lee Flats and on to Darwin and China Gardens - pretty...
The bolded part is what we dealt with last time I did a big group run up there. Between the 6 vehicles on the trail rule and the 10 in camp rule we had to split up to stay legal.
Have fun guys, we'll be in the area too until sunday.
AllPro Expedition Heavy Duty Leaf Spring Install
With 60,000 miles on my 2005 Tacoma's rear springs it was high time for a change. AllPro Off Road is synonymous with rock crawling Toyotas and has developed some of the best Tacoma suspension kits on the market. With their reputation as leaders...
Front Brake Upgrade
The OEM brakes are not sufficient for this truck as it sits (at GVWR approx 5,400 lbs now). Loaded up on the road it was a bear to stop in a hurry! So I added a set of slotted rotors and upgraded pads (and braided lines) - big improvement and being able to stop in an...
Caring for a Truck
I've had the truck 9 years now.
People ask me how I keep the truck looking nice. Number one is the fact that you have to take care of your investment. That means washing it after trips, and undercarriage and engine bay rinsing as well as keeping the interior squared away...
I also changed spark plugs and cleaned the throttle body and Mass Air Flow sensor (MAF) on the Tacoma recently. There are several tutorials online where guys are blindly (and gingerly) spraying into the air box hoping to clean the sensor. Due to the sensor location in the air box this is...
Since I had the exhaust crossover re-routed (tucked) I have been concerned about heat transfer to the T-case. In addition the the DEI titanium exhaust wrap I have added this Heat Shield Products stainless steel "Inferno Shield" rated at 1800 degrees F continuous use and 2200 degrees max.
Since...
Looks like a great trip guys, we may see you on the trail.
One note, and I saw it mentioned earlier in the thread, but I'm pretty sure the NPS frowns upon groups larger than 10 rigs. YMMV.
I just installed the AllPro HD Expedition springs and Timbrens on my Tacoma. So far they are a great match with the Icon resi shocks. I'll be reviewing the APEX springs once I've run them a bit ;)
