Another jeep owner turns to Tacoma! Welcome to the club!

I don't know about the history of the truck, but I've known Aaron for about 10 years and he is a stand up guy. Good luck with the sale! I'm back in Oregon on the 9th if you need a hand with something until you're back too.

Have you thought about flipping the upper overload? I have heard of others doing this as the "next step". Normal install has this upper overload with a negative arch. Flipping it over engages it much earlier. If that doesn't do what you want I would go to a custom leaf pack. I would have...

Not even close to fitting in the top of mine. It is a thick 0 degree bag. The only thing I could fit and close up top was lighter weight mummy bags, or fleece blankets and a pillow. The width up top is only roughly 48". Less at the front, more at the back. But the big bag was nice and...

We used this, in 0 degree form. http://www.amazon.com/TETON-Sports-Mammoth-Flannel-Sleeping/dp/B00807TNB2 Amazingly comfortable and warm. Takes up a ton of space to store but great bag. Too warm most of the time in the Ursa minor. What we ended up doing most of the time was using two...

Wow you really lucked out!

Antenna wiring isn't complex. The satellites are south, that's why you're picking the signal up driving south. The signal is getting in between the camper and truck when facing south. Antenna wiring isn't complex. Maybe there isn't an off the shelf adapter but one ought to be able to...

No, if I was going to buy something in that range I would spend a few extra bucks and buy the base icons. The production 6112 doesn't have a threaded body. And the last two sets of bilsteins I had on ifs rigs were less than ideal. They had horrible rebound valving. They easily topped out and...

Some things are still up in the air, but it won't be anything we haven't seen here before. Some stuff from icon, OME, wheelers, allpro etc. The overall stance and look will be much like your truck.

Not much of an update, but the JK axle is sold and I got some money back from escrow on the old house, so my suspension is about 2/3 funded! ;) For now I'm headed back to work but I cannot wait to start doing some work on the truck soon.

Seems anyone in the light truck market is using junk for throw out bearings and synchros these days. I have read some completed on tacoma world but it's hard to say how common any of it really is.

If you don't plan on doing a bunch of other stuff go for it! It should hold more resale value with factory options and work relatively well as is.

The axle is just a tease. ;) It is the front axle out of my old rubicon, my buddy has been storing it in his shop for me. I just finally picked it up so I can clean and sell it, to help fund the suspension on the tacoma. It would be a fun rig with SAS but it would sort of defeat the...

I don't normally make build threads, but everybody's doing it! My last rig was a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited, with an Ursa Minor popup camper and a bunch of other things. It was a fun and very capable rig, but with a new daughter on our hands we needed some more space and a bigger...

I caught a break and decided to "visit" home for a few days between 14 day hitches. The truck is a lot more fun to drive after this mod!

Good deal! I keep watching Craigslist but they are almost all for 5' beds here and sold within hours. Although I really just want a backflip cover or something to use when the camper is removed later, without taking up a bunch of space in the garage. I bet it you offer to remove the windows...

http://youtu.be/7F-Pil2pqFI http://youtu.be/hJAoz99de2k -- the j30 works essentially the same as their e camper top. Stand on the rear seat and climb up. The jeep has more head room. I normally faced forward, and lifted myself to a sitting position, then pulled my feet up. My wife is...

Yeah I like the compressor location!

Yes it would be very tight with 3 kids in back. I bought a double cab and the rear facing seat means that the passenger seat is pushed up pretty far. Good thing my wife is VERY short, I couldn't get in the front seat with the baby seat. If you've got a forward facing seat and booster seat it...

Have them install full length Yakima tracks. You can add your racks later and position them however you want, and only install them when needed so as to not block the solar panels.
