The hole in the center is from the manufacturer as the actual disc is a plow blade, the hole is the cutout is for the plow axle. You can see the patch piece I fabbed in the middle of the first pic...

I made my own, $50- It’s really nice for a dedicated cooking surface, cuts down on clutter, and it’s easy to clean vs washing another pan. It cooks very effectively once you get it dialed in plus leaves burner space open for boiling water, heating sauces etc. I love mine!

Haha, yeah, bye-bye stock running boards or nerf bars. I see that from time to time on somebody’s truck around town and you know immediately what happened

Yeah, when I took my stock Tacoma to Alaska via as much as I could do through western Canada, I didn’t call it over landing cause I didn’t know what the hell that was! That was 9 years ago and I did notice on that trip that I had much room to improve. Stuck in 20 hours of a deluge in Banff...

I’ve had plenty of other vehicles, some good, some complete ******** (cough cough, Jeep). There was hands down nothing I understood the engineering of (accept maybe a 92 Chevy 4wd with a 350 in it) or preferred driving over my Tacoma. All 5 of my Toyota’s and the several other I’ve worked on or...

In reference to needing a truck, I am in the camp I have to have one. After 11 years as a work truck that can get around the city well and isn’t losing parking spots like full-size trucks plus is an excellent weekend wheeler/camping platform, all my needs have been met. It does raise concerns...

I think they are exactly as @DaveInDenver says, instead of a 3.4 liter gas engine mated to an R150F 5 speed or an A340 automatic, they’re the exact same drivetrain as a US sold Tacoma but with a 3.0l turbo diesel. Different ecu, but I’d bet after that a lot of the truck is identical...

Oh Lord those first 2 pics give me a hard on. I’d definitely have to do some rearranging to get dual batteries, a mini arb compressor and a heat exchanger to fit with that engine, but sooooo worth it

I highly doubt it’s going to be easier to get parts for a completely unproven 2.8l Cummins manufactured overseas that may as an offering not even last than it is to get parts for diesel engines Toyota has been producing and putting in vehicles everywhere but North America for decades. A quick...

To answer a few questions you stated right off, no, I haven’t seen a 2.8l Cummins in a vehicle other than watching the videos from Dirt Everyday where they outfitted a Jeep with one, so yes, I am regurgitating info from dieseltoys website, but most I bet is true. It is a Chinese made Cummins...

I’ve been searching Craigslist and there are a surprising number of diesel Landcruisers, some with really low miles, ranging from $10k-$20k, which seems to me like a great price for a vehicle that has a power plant Toyota estimates (and estimated low from what I read) a 500k mile service life...

Ever up in Seattle? I have a Mt Shasta with no annex. I might have to sweeten the deal a bit since mine has some wear on it, I’d also want to keep my ladder as I got rid of the telescoping one in the picture.

Damn, that’s a good deal. If I didn’t already have a set of 140 hid’s I don’t know what to do with...

Finally got some much needed rain (need a lot more), nice, cool day to hit the trails

Agreed! I've been enjoying your pics for a while man, epic journeys is spot on!

Which one do you have specifically? I have this one http://shop.pkys.com/Blue-Sea-1045-Fast-Charge-48-Amp-Dual-USB-Charger_p_4757.html?gclid=CKK9l4j89dMCFUtufgodA6cJug Replaced one of the cigarette lighter chargers in my Tacoma with it, charges both my iPad and iPhone simultaneously faster...

So I'm trying to get a little more fluent in electrical, and as I do this I realize it's been my tendency like a lot of people to "overfuse". I now have a dual battery system and my concerns over running the system dead are over (was ruining a single dead off a day plus of running the fridge)...

Great price on the megamat, we love ours

For those with broken plastic hinges, many know there are replacement options such as steel ones made for similar model Whynter, I found a link for them at $12.50 a piece and the site says free shipping, gonna buy a pair and see for myself. They look like a huge improvement, even have a stop so...
