    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    Just a couple inches. I know the setup I WANT to run but I've been entertaining the idea of going a cheaper route initially. Still a lot of decisions to make to have everything working together for my vacation in late summer.

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    Finally! Closed on our new house and got my new truck. 2015 dclb. Nothing fancy yet, but have a dealer appointment for a big item and paid a 15% deposit on another piece of equipment for the truck... ;)

    Battleship Jones: 2015 Tacoma DCLB Build Thread

    Looking good! I finally moved into my new house and picked up my truck today (your truck's twin). I've been thinking about the fj anthracite 16" wheels for a little better stance on 255s. My list of mods to do is so incredibly long! Haha I think a supercharger is going high on the list...

    255/85R16 on a Gen 2 Tacoma

    You could ponder tire sizes and argue them to death. For what it's worth, clay told me he would rather run 255/85/16s but general didn't have that size. Since I'm in the same boat as you (even came from a re-geared jkru on 35s, I'm going with 255/85/16s most likely. The skinny tires should...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    An electric blanket may work well. My wife sleeps very cold, and with both of us she was always very warm (using a mammoth sleeping bag). However she never slept in it alone. I initially wanted a habitat myself. I looked at a couple and was kind of unimpressed with the final presentation...

    Battleship Jones: 2015 Tacoma DCLB Build Thread

    Yeah I have a deposit on that one. Waiting to close on our house Thursday, and picking up the truck next week.

    Battleship Jones: 2015 Tacoma DCLB Build Thread

    Good deal, thanks! What are your thoughts on power and driveability with stock gearing and 255s, after having them for a few months? Realizing that everything is relatively slow at your elevation.... I've been trying to locate a DCLB SR5 with navigation and they are very hard to find. I also...

    My Taco Phoenix Pop Up Camper

    Good luck buddy. It is clear why they don't post any longer. I actually feel bad recommending them to others in the past. I love the idea of a custom built camper but I'm gearing up to make an expensive order with four wheel campers finally. It isn't custom but it is strong and reliable and...

    Yeti vs. compressor fridge...

    A Yeti is still an ice box, no matter how great. If you do short weekend trips and don't mind putting everything in zip loc bags it should be fine. I camped for 4-5 weeks last summer in triple digit temps with a cooler and it became hell for us. We paid for very expensive ice every other...

    What's new at Coyote RV/Phoenix Pop up?

    I was thinking a woodstove as well? I hope the camper works out well for you. I still can't believe they completely stopped posting here instead of addressing the issue of a couple of owners.

    Battleship Jones: 2015 Tacoma DCLB Build Thread

    Apparently my computer erased my post yet again. The allpro website sucks and doesn't clearly show the difference between the different versions. I'm looking at the double cab long bed. I want the full L shaped brace that mates to the frame (as pictured) instead of the basic square plates. I...

    I agree. Honestly after sleeping, your body heat will heat up the small space. There is a notable difference in temp when you remove a panel. If it's really a concern get remote start if you have an auto. You could always run a propex and trim the cushions but I don't think you'll feel the...

    Rigid Industries :: Torture Test

    What is the relevancy to these "tests"? Cool marketing video I guess but... I could drill and cut into a tire and destroy it the same but I don't see the relevant torture test? How about addressing the videos online showing the failed seals on Rigid LEDS during submersion tests? That is a...

    2016 Tacoma

    Straying more on topic (if that's possible)... I think common is relative. Now everyone has the internet and we all know about everything that happens with cars. I know a ton of people with 2010+ VW TDIs and nobody I know has had a single issue. Nobody I know has even heard of it. However...

    2016 Tacoma

    Yeah if you put gas in a new tdi you'll be buying a new fuel system. Haha. That is the first one concern I have with the car, if I get bad fuel mixed with gas somewhere. My new dclb 4x4 tacoma with tow, power options, nav etc is around 31k so it is pretty reasonable compared to everything...

    Battleship Jones: 2015 Tacoma DCLB Build Thread

    I didn't think all pro sold DCLB sliders in that bolt on style. I was looking at relentless for that reason but maybe I have a few options after all. Edit: I see the double cab long bed sliders added on their site now. These are the heavy duty (not apex) version right?

    2016 Tacoma

    Silverado? lol. You can keep that pos. The few new Silverados I've driven were terrible. Trying to cruise at 70mph on flat ground it couldn't decide if it should be running on all cylinder or half. It just kept cycling and jerking back and forth. Man I hate those trucks. They feel like...

    Outback Proven: long range fuel tank for tacoma

    You guys are a bad influence! Timing just isn't right for me unfortunately. I put a deposit on a Tacoma, I need to put a deposit on another item next week, close on a house next week, figure out taxes etc. I was going to buy new furniture too but that is out! And I'm scaling back my initial...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    I don't think I ever posted pictures, but I spent one night in the parking lot at Timberline lodge last winter when the temps were 20-30F and blowing at least 20 knots with precip. A little bit of snow but also a bit of freezing rain. I was by myself and slept in my mammoth sleeping bag. The...
