    Extreme 4x4 builds an Expedition Tacoma

    That is not true; not all the trucks. I can see in the 18-wheelers cabs, so there.

    Extreme 4x4 builds an Expedition Tacoma

    I wish I had seen that program. I've had my fridge in the bed for 4 years now, all year long. Not all trails are gravel... I like knowing if I get into trouble I'm more likely to be capable enough to get out of it. I've done 10s of thousands of miles across North America and Canada...

    Say NO to Rock Auto.

    Of course you're right lil' pooter; it's not your fault for turning the wrench on your truck -- it's those mean men at Rock Auto's fault.

    TRD or clean slate

    Now you're talking... all that alphabet soup stuff is just another thing to break and leave you stranded on the trail. K.I.S.S. Knowledge, skill, and ability rule the day. Hey... HEY! You damn kids get off my grass!

    Okinawa

    Back in the day, for military and DOD personnel, it was specifically not allowed in Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders; in other words the government would not pay for it. It generally wouldn't be worth it; for example, I saw no Land Cruisers and vehicles often did not fair well in the...

    Okinawa

    Lived there for a few years and had a Subaru Domingo AWD van. Loved it there and there was no place that little van wouldn't go. Okinawa is very bike friendly too, just be sure to bring plenty of water and some energy bars to avoid the bonk as it gets Africa-hot there. We lived in Kawasaki...

Another vendor with a good rep, reasonable prices, and a lot of experience is East Coast Gear Supply. You want that experience, trust me... just today we were installing...

    Gearing Question for 2.7 5spd Tacoma

    This... "My hope is that my cruising mpg won't drop too much w/4:88's, because I'll stay in 5th more often. The added trail worthiness would be awesome, but I don't want to sacrifice to much on the highway because of higher rev's." You don't want anything less that 4.88's and not 5.29 gearing...

    Propane tank strapped to spare tire...any ideas?

    Propane tank strapped to spare tire... Honestly, that sounds like the first sentence of a news report that will end with... "film at 11." I've never seen that although I have seen tanks mounted to their own carrier on a rear bumper. Strapped to a spare tire sounds sketchy -- I can't imagine a...
