Because bros buy them? What's wrong with your OEM ones?

I googled around on these too before going with the napa compressor that's faster than the arb dual. It appears that these re or unlabled compressor are exactly the same as the ARB inside and out. My guess is they come from the same factory. I previously had an ARB dual compressor; the prices...

I would vote no. Don't out drive your headlights. Get a Wyeth Scott power puller with synthetic line. Carry a decent bottle jack and shovel and call it a day. Heavy trucks suck to drive especially on the way to the trail which is where you will spend the vast majority of time. You can easily...

Looking for some ideas on a cheaper alternative to thule, front runner, yamaha etc. roof tracks. I am assuming that these companies buy universal track somewhere, drill holes, and add foam tape and their little plastic ends and then mark it up 6x (which is fine). Seems super overpriced when you...

In 2020 the supplier for the tailgate electric locking actuator went under due to Covid. This created a weird situation (including mine which I discovered after buying used) where numerous trucks received a delete credit despite having everything else that was part of the option package...

What's everyone using for a mattress?

The GX460 is a solid replacement but it's really really old having been released in late 2009 and pretty much substantively the same especially on the safety front. I still don't think it's been crash tested. Headroom also isn't awesome and the gas mileage isn't very good. I liked mine a lot but...

Woohoo! Glad to have snagged this before it becomes unobtanium.

I think this is where I'm at: -Rear half barn doors -AF Cabover (seamless) -Lift Struts -Clear vinyl windows in popup -Flip up hatch on passenger side (curbside seems best?) Going to skip the other stuff (at least in my head for now)

Any regrets not getting side doors?

It's really nothing new for Toyota. Their power to gas mileage ratio has always been on the low end. My old 22re trucks were rated at 116hp and got about 18mpg haha. I've put 10s of thousands of miles on a couple of work 3.5 eco boosts (f150 and expedition). Real world (stock 4wds with 6 and...

Toyota is removing features and charging more for it. They must want to become Porsche. -no front recovery locations (still unbelievable to me) -no more driver grab handle -no more fob remote start without a fee -smaller interior What I'm seeing for real-world gas mileage so far is pretty bad...

This is another material I am tossing around. Vinyl exterior with foam and radiant. https://www.usenergyproducts.com/products/24ft-x-8ft-1-4-inch-super-shield-white-reflective-foam-core-1-4-insulation-barrier

Yah I've worked with coroplast by making diy trek pak. That was my other material of choice perhaps with some marine carpet on top. I am planning on poly iso between the studs with neoprene tape or similar around the studs for insulation. Along with the bed rug and propex hs2000 and it should...

I'm going to be building one side out with my fridge/slide, stove, propane, propex etc. as a cabinet/sofa/futon thing for sleeping in case I'm solo and don't want to pop the top. Other side will be left empty as one potential goal is to be able to put a honda trail or monkey in the bed of the...

Yah these are great for interior lighting but I'm looking for a permanent exterior mount.

True and I work on light pollution issues. Amber is just nice and cozy while not totally destroying night vision as long as it's truly amber.

Yah the taxes were a surprise cost. They hurt. I'm really limiting my options to stuff I can't diy later. A lot of folks go with the windoors but I honestly don't see the utility on a full size truck because it's just too tall to reach in anyways and I'm 6'. Also actively avoiding windows as...

Anyone have some recommendations for amber LED area lighting? Planning on mounting on the back of my camper for use when rolling up to a dark campsite or when I just need to light the area in the immediate vicinity around the camper. I can find plenty of cube lights but I'm looking for...

Do you have any pics of the termal pack? There's nothing on the site. Trying to figure out if it's worth $800 vs a DIY option. The 2 extra inches is still possible; you can either do the old or new design. I'll be going with the new design as I don't want the extra height. How's the anodized...
