    Can it be done?: Swing-out Tire Carrier and Carry 4 Bikes

    Would it work? Yes, but it would need to be effectively engineered in order to support the additional weight and leverage of the bikes, tire, and possibly gas can(s), hi-lift, etc. Dual sheer spindle is key, but it'll have to be the burliest dual sheer you can get, and even then it's a lot of...

    Pics of rig packed up ready to go?

    Not the greatest shots, when I'm fully loaded up I haven't really thought to take pictures of how it's all organized. White Rim This is kind of how it's organized, except I have two of the long cases that I can attach. They're weather resistant, not weather proof by any means, but they're...

    New alternative to Pelican cases

    While at Home Depot yesterday, I noticed a new model line of tool boxes/cases from Rigid, they are extremely durable looking, heavily reinforced lids, thick sides, even a gasket on the lid! Not just that, but they have burly latches and are designed to be interlocking when stacked. I was looking...

    Capture Colorado 01 TRD Taco - GOAE build

    Yeah, so the box I had originally built to go on top of the frame to be in the m416 design got cut down to fit into the new design. It'll have some sort of drawer thing that will pull out from the rear. I'll be working on that this week before white rim. I have two gas and two water Rotopax that...

    Frustrated... Hard to find a storage box...!!!

    I bought two of these, and one of the XXL boxes for storage on my flatbed, they're mostly weather resistant without modification, but I'll be adding some weather stripping on the inside of the lid to help with that. The lid is heavily reinforced for proper stacking, they're inexpensive, strong...

    Capture Colorado 01 TRD Taco - GOAE build

    Been making more progress, picked up some more material to continue work on the flatbed and begin work on the bumper. I went to get some more done today, then found out some of the weatherpack connectors I need to hook the new tail lights up won't be here for another 2 weeks or more, so I kind...

    Long shot: TRADE (4) Newer Cooper ST Maxx 285/75r16 for MT tires

    If I end up selling the bike and buying a set of mtr, I'll be selling these at that point. Until then I need them since I'm driving the truck daily.

    Long shot: TRADE (4) Newer Cooper ST Maxx 285/75r16 for MT tires

    I'm in Golden. While on paper and for most drivers, the ST Maxx will be excellent on snowy roads, and naturally vastly better than a typical MT on ice, there are traits of these tires that leave me wanting on my daily driving that I've not found missing with MT tires. I've used the old MT/r...

    Long shot: TRADE (4) Newer Cooper ST Maxx 285/75r16 for MT tires

    I know this is a long shot, but I figured it's worth seeing if anyone has some MT tires they simply aren't putting to use, or want something quieter or tamer for a DD. I bought a set of 4 Cooper ST Maxx tires a few months ago, and they've currently got about 2k miles put on them, they're...

    That wood shop is rad, he built it with a neighbor when I was really little. Most of my childhood was spent there helping him. I'll be curious to see what the longevity of this is like. I'm confident that once it gets a coat of liner on, it'll be solid for a good long while... hell, flatbed...

    Capture Colorado 01 TRD Taco - GOAE build

    I came up with a plan for fenders today, and turning the whole platform into more than just a base for the box, but a proper flatbed, so if I need to I can pull the box and have the whole thing be sheeted and ready to haul big stuff. Check it out... The areas outside the box will be skinned...

    Capture Colorado 01 TRD Taco - GOAE build

    Yep, the capping method is what I'm gonna do. Yesterday we got the box all glued up, that was an interesting ordeal... We have spring clamps for small miters, like on trim and cap moulding on kitchen cabinets, but they're not really designed to apply the pressure we were looking for along a 72"...

    Capture Colorado 01 TRD Taco - GOAE build

    Today was the first of several in the process of building out the bed. Despite a late start, I made reasonable progress. Took my time and discussed order of operations and fine-tuned the design with my dad, realized I had plenty of space to build the bed wider than planned, and got height...

    FS: Softopper & Bedrug for 94-04 Tacoma

    Bedrug, fits first gen long bed Tacoma, probably not really much else. It's less than 1 year old, it's in perfect condition, no tears or notable stains. Does not include any of the velcro strips, but that's generic and can be purchased at any hardware store, walmart, etc. etc. $250 for Expo...

    Capture Colorado 01 TRD Taco - GOAE build

    Check it out... came up with an idea for the lid of the bed this morning. I designed it to have some angles to add interest, and generally make it not ugly and flat, but as such, I'm kind of sacrificing potential storage space - no more, check out the rendering for what I'm blabbing about...

    Capture Colorado 01 TRD Taco - GOAE build

    Decided I'm finally tired enough of the stock housings to do something about it. About a week ago I went up to a bluegrass show deep in the mountains, and driving back on I70 into a lane of heavy ski traffic, I couldn't see a damn thing on a lot of sections of the highway. My setup was adequate...

    Capture Colorado 01 TRD Taco - GOAE build

    I hope to get started on TacoAss MK III sometime mid January. The rear bumper sold, so I'm probably going to wait for things to settle down and resume normalcy a bit before beginning a project like that.
