    Diet Taco Build (FlipPac on 2015 Tacoma DCSB)

    Guiding Principle The Toyota Tacoma has a pretty pathetic payload and expedition builds tend to get heavy fast. So the guiding principle for this build is to keep the Tacoma on a diet. Don't bolt things on just because everyone else does. Carefully choose modifications that give the most...

    2012+ Tacoma Shark Fin antenna and Flip Pac

    I'm about to put a Flippac on a 2015 Tacoma DCSB and wondering about clearance to the sat/nav sharkfin antenna that is on 2012 and later Tacomas. It looks like from some photos I've found it clears when the Flippac is installed on top of the bed rail covers but it looks close. I'm probably...

    About to sell a 1992 Toyota 4x4 Long Bed 22RE - 125k miles

    Temporary under hood "snorkel" for water crossing...

    I cross water perhaps once a decade. OK, maybe two times if it is an out and back route :) Mojave desert usually, some Utah. At slow speed, trying to maintain steady progress with a bow wave. Very nervous if over hub height, would consider bottom of door/bumper height if I knew there was no...

    Fiamma or similar small awnings worth it?

    I'm looking to most likely do a Flippac on a Tacoma in the coming year, though something like a Finch sized full pop-up is not out of the question either. Either way, closed size on the truck about the same allowing for at most a 6ft wide awning. I'm wondering about the actual utility of an...
