    Dueling battery question

    Thank you all four clearing that up. It makes perfect sense now. Patoz, thanks for the link. I checked out that guys stuff, looks like some really nice work but unfortunately nothing for the Tundra and no way a group 31 is going to fit anywhere under the hood without relocating and re...

    Dueling battery question

    DWH, I don't understand why I would put an OCPD on the positive lead of my starting battery. There isn't a fuse/breaker there now.

    Dueling battery question

    Thank you for your replies. Verkstad, you are saying my breaker amp rating should be based on my wire gauge used? I will be using 2 ga welding cable. Ok, I think I get it, I need a fuse/breaker amp rating lower than the amp rating of the wire it protects so if it shorts or draws too much it...

    Dueling battery question

    I'm getting ready to install a second battery in my Tundra to run my fridge and a few other odds and ends. The battery will be under the bed on a mount I am building out of steel galvanized slotted angle from Home Depot. it certainly won't be the most elegant battery mount around but it will...

    Who would be interested in an Overland / toy hauler trailer?

    Happytraveler, I haven't weighed it but I would guess unloaded the tongue weight is around 250lb. Total weight is roughly 1500lb. unloaded. With 3 dirtbikes on the platform my rough estimate is 400-500lb. on the tongue. I have had it fully loaded for a week in Moab on the stock FJ and it...

    Who would be interested in an Overland / toy hauler trailer?

    Sounds like a great idea. We have a modified teardrop camper with a 5x6 platform that can handle 3 dirt bikes or one 4 wheeler and a dirt bike. Hauling a a side by side would get a little heavy but I'm sure it could be done. Our little tear can go most places our FJ and Tundra can go short of...

    2007+ Toyota Tundra long bed vs short bed for overlanding

    The new generation of Tundras are great off road with a set of lockers installed, sadly not a factory option so ARB is your only choice, around $2500-$3500 front and back installed depending on what air compressor you run with. We have a 2012 double cab with the 6.5 ft bed. I don't find it too...

    SOLD-Off road Teardrop Camper for Sale Price Reduced for 2020

    I'm not sure what it is all loaded up with dirt bikes, 80 gallons of water and every square inch accounted for but, I would guess 600 to 800lb. fully loaded on our last trip to Moab. Both the FJ and Tundra don't balk at the tongue weight but air bags are your friend for sure. No one likes a...

    The connection for the propane tank comes out of the back hatch and the tank sits on the ground underneath the rear of the camper when in use. There is a big thick gasket in the rear hatch so you can just close the hatch on the hose for the tank with no worries about leaks. I set it up this...
