    Delorme InReach announced

    That sounds exactly like something I could use! Sign me up for testing... I'm the lowest common denominator. I leave beginning of July for a couple months on the road.

    Trump's 03 Tacoma

    I think that means you can go out buy more stuff to mod the truck... I'm pretty sure my man-ears are right on this one. At least until the MC bill comes in. Then feign innocence. Like my SAC - "but sweetie, I don't understand why you're so angry - you said I could replace the leaking boot on...

    Valve adjustment on fzj80?

    You obviously didn't sit in 3 hours of flippin' commute traffic on 95 this afternoon... I'll take the Udairi Training Range any day. ;)

    Expo seating?

    Procar seats work well with our trucks and are moderately priced... the Elite model is one I'm looking at for long range comfort. http://www.procarbyscat.com/Products_Elite.asp

    Top 10 Used Overland Vehicles: Do you agree?

    No argument there, but its what we can get in the USA! Like Viggen said, "... we dont get your truck. We get a Tacoma and thats it." Hey, how about sending me a 1KD or 1KZ front clip? I'll be your buddy! As TUFF as I can be in my 3RZ... heavy sigh :(

    Garmin Montana

    x2. I still have my Colorado and been struggling with its quirks waiting for Garmin to have an epiphany... hopefully the MT will live up to its features.

    2008 Tacoma D-4D swap *pics*

    Thanks again for the education Todd. Yup, I'm one of those who did that side to side comparison and am also impressed by the numbers the D-4D offers. But I'm also interested in your point about super simple, what I call a desired characteristic - "stupid-simple," and most bang for my buck. No...

    Doc's 05 Tacoma Build Thread

    Gear oil, wrenches, grime, dirt, banged knuckles, welding smoke, trip to the hardware store, and more than likely an adult carbonated beverage or 2. So, in other words it was a pretty good day. :)

    2008 Tacoma D-4D swap *pics*

    Thanks for the explanation Todd. So, 1KZ versus 1KD... I was concerned about torque and fuel economy. Seems that the CR of the 1 KD is superior for power/TQ and fuel economy to the 1KZ , or is that a misconception on my part; perhaps the differences are negligible between the two in a 1st Gen...

    Bumper with swing out or no?

    You nailed it. Build your plan before you build-up your truck.

    dieseltoyz, on your website you recommend the 1 KZ for the 2001-04 Toyota but not the 1 KD. Why is that?

    Bumper with swing out or no?

    Departure angle - meh... space for an auxiliary fuel tank - whatever... security - you seriously don't sleep with your truck? I say go for it; how else will you be able to mount your TRASHAROO?

    2008 Tacoma D-4D swap *pics*

    Exactly! I've been lusting after your conversions for years now... sorry I missed this thread until now - beautiful work and a noble cause. I was out and about with my truck in Sparta, TN at GSMTR; and I didn't camp the whole time as I considered it "tethered overlanding". It's not crazy at...
