I’m looking at commercial aluminum contractor type canopies for my truck. Leer and ARE have similar products. It’s an 8ft bed. I want glass front, solid side doors, double rear doors with glass, and Thule/Yakima type tracks on top. I’m not finding any good comparison articles of the two...

Rear tires fully aired are at 80psi. My ARB gauge/deflator only goes to 60. Any gauge damage connecting it and dropping pressure down to <60psi? Is there a higher psi product?

I’m looking at winches for my 07 2500HD Classic. I’m going with a Come Up Seal 12.5, but I need a way to mount it. I’m considering the Warn Trans4mer Mount. I don’t need the weight of a bumper and I like that the winch is accessible to work on and keep the line dressed. It does hang the...

Check out the Factor 55 Splicer. That would be my go to with synthetic line. The rope is threaded through it and spliced back together. The opening for the shackle is oblong so you can fit the pin or the bow through it.

I have some KC Pro Sport HID lights on my truck. I'm impressed with their polymer housing. The Apollo Pro line is available in a 55watt halogen fog light configuration and is something I would consider. I'm going to put a set of them on my truck in addition to the Pro Sports. LED lights are...

I have that exact tire on my Tacoma. I do some driving on the Washington beaches and have never had an issue. I normally run street pressure because I'm usually not going more than a mile or two down the beach. When I do air down I usually go down to 20psi and that seems to be sufficient, if...

I have the 235/85-16 ST Maxx on my 2nd gen Tacoma. They fit with no lift, OE wheels, and have worked well for me. They did surprisingly good in the one snow we had this year. They also did fine in the surprise packed and icy ski trip that was supposed to be dry pavement late in the season.

What do you think of them? Spot or flood? I've had a hard time finding anybody with actual experience with them.

Spread pattern. I was looking at the KC Pro Sport gravity LED lights. The temperature is 5k, but the HID version spread pattern still significantly out distances the LED spot version. The LED version is about the same price as the LED version. Still leaning towards the HID. I just need to...

I'm looking at the KC Pro Sport HID lights. Does anybody have experience with these? Direct from KC they are a set of 35 watt lights for ~340. That's a lot more than cheap china mart lights, but much less than the Lightforce or Hella lights. They don't list what temperature they are on their...

To clarify these would be mostly for middle of nowhere two lane highways driving 50-60mph. I don't need the pencil or spot beams because I'm not driving 100+mph. I want a bit more distance over the halogen brights and some additional width to see anything that's going to jump out in front of...

I'm looking at getting some HID lights to mount behind the grill of my Tacoma. I'm looking at the Lightforce Striker 170 with a 70 watt bulb and the Venom 170 with the 50 watt bulb. The Lightforce USA website is lackluster in it's detail. Some sources claim the Striker has an internal...

I think I would rig a siphon pump with fuel line and a bit of copper tubing to get all the way to the bottom of the jerry can. You could sacrifice a pour spout and make it so you could cap the jerry can while you're siphoning, but that might be overkill.

3/4 or 1 ton long bed of your choice. An aluminum commercial high top canopy. Sleeping arrangements in the canopy, or a roof top tent, or a ground tent. Refrigerator, food storage, prep, and cooking area. Sanitation arrangements. Some basic repair and recovery gear. A deep cycle battery...

For tires you should just make sure you have 5 decent tires. You don't need big knobby tires, any moderately priced LT tire will do. Even some cheap used tires would work. Since it's staying on the beach lower the tire pressure to 12-15 psi and leave it there. I wouldn't spend money on a...

Figure out where you're weak by getting out there. Then rectify the weakness.

Check out the TRED pro on Kickstarter.

Would unistrut work?

Get a lift-mate with your high lift. You can use it to lift the wheel and place a traction aid or rocks under it. A locker, some good tires, and winch would be advisable. The ability to air down and air up the tires.
