    Headlight Stone Guards

    Another vote for lamin-x film. It is cheap and easy and it works. I had a thicker film on the glass fog lights of my wife's car for 6 years. Numerous rock chips, several windshield replacements etc. but no fog light issues. You should treat them every now and then to prevent hazing. I...

    Solar panel affixed to hood?

    For what it's worth I just returned the last two of my four renogy flexible panels. All of them failed in less than a year. They were mounted with adhesive backed Velcro on the white aluminum roof of a camper, parked in the garage most of the time. Amazing concept but total failure. Renogy...

    IBS or Blue Sea?

    Never had the IBS setup, since I read so many negative reviews. I installed a blue sea ACR in my Tacoma and was very impressed with it. Very clean, simple, heavy duty, easy to install etc. You can get blue sea stuff at just about any marine shop. It can be switched remotely, left on auto, or...

    VANdiana Jones sequel: The Legacy Continues

    Somehow it looks way more proportionate on the 07 front end, I like it!

    MG Metalworks Van Build

    Sorry and congrats! I've been thinking about you when reading the Intel news. I'm on the border of being layed off from my employer as well. Certainly don't need it with a new kid but I have some other projects to work on as well. Very excited to see more of your work! I need to get...

    Timbren Enhancement system with lift leafs

    I had wheelers superbumps up front. Definitely recommended if they work on your rig. I haven't tried the timbrens up front so I can't comment. Some guys on tacoma world used them.

    Departure angle on a RB vs an EB?

    Without having exact numbers, I believe the extended body is 19-20" extra hanging off behind the axle. 2" of extra height is going to make a very small improvement in the grand scheme of things.

    Timbren Enhancement system with lift leafs

    As mentioned, I ran the OME dakars, Dakars with extra leafs, then custom leafs. All combos with different timbrens and wheelers superbumps. Most of the time my truck was lightly loaded or very heavily loaded. The lightweight timbrens are a good option all around. A suitable bump stop when...

    Another Tacoma Build (Brian's 2015 DCLB)

    Busy week! Both the truck and camper are sold and departed this week to expo members. Maybe we'll get to see them live on, on this forum. Sad to see both of them go. My daughter wanted to join my in the camper while I was getting it ready for pickup and she was so happy to play in there and...

    2013 TOYOTA TACOMA + 2015 FLEET FWC ----FOR SALE----

    I listed my tacoma and fleet and got very little interest in a package deal. But tons of messages on the truck and camper separately. Both sold quickly on their own.

    MG Metalworks Van Build

    I thought about RCVs (though mostly for smoothness honestly) but the problem is contacting the leaf springs I think. Definitely is on the f series. Sure you could space the wheels out but as you increase the scrub radius, you start rubbing fenders and stuff.

    Life in a pop-up for 3+ people

    The side dinette sucks in my opinion. I know some people like it, but all I can say is go sit in a few. The side dinette is very cramped. When it's made into a "bed", good luck not falling up because it is very narrow. The rollover couch sucks because it blocks the whole camper when it's...

    MG Metalworks Van Build

    Very interested to see how the suspension cycles once it is all together. Do the coil vans have a better turning radius than than the leaf sprung u joint or sprortsmobile setup? I know there was a drastic difference between the leaf sprung and coil sprung f series, but I don't know how much...

    Heating a pop-up truck camper?

    The last small furnace they used only pulled 1.8 amps. The new one is 2 and change just FYI, forget the exact draw. The coldest I've slept in my Fleet was mid to upper teens. Arctic pack and reflectix between the layers, by myself in the camper with the overhead vent and window cracked. The...
