This was a similar complaint in the ford Rangers for years. Initially the extended cabs didn't have rear doors. As soon as they started having opening rear doors the trucks started squeaking more due to the extra flexing. I sold fords and distinctly remember hearing the difference between the...

Agreed. My wife has to stop and pee all the time but my bladder can out drive nearly any gas tank. I'm known for making 600+ mile runs at night while everyone else is sleeping. Long trips kind of suck when you have to stop every couple hundred miles for gas. Then again with a baby now, I...

Yeah why don't you? ;) I'm assuming they all fit the same? In for a quote on a double cab long bed!

There are at least a couple guys here running 4.88s on 33s just for reference. Tacodoc is one I believe. I'm planning for 4.56 gears on 33s eventually.

The extra money for the FWC is worth it. Go look at the Palominos in person. Cheap disposable junk IMO. Everything is very basic, loose fitting, the soft sides are just pathetic and flap in the breeze. It should not be windy INSIDE a camper with a light breeze outside and the windows closed...

Good looking truck! Maybe mask off some area and spray on some rubberized bed liner on the top of the sliders instead of the rough grip tape?

I agree on the sport being pretty much useless. At least in the dclb, no locker or atrac. Basically an appearance package and you get stuck with a stupid fake hood scoop and 17" wheels. Although everyone says the seats are better. I notice the sr5 had a fold flat front passenger seat. I...

Hopefully they do! I like LED bars for slow wooded trails because they light up everything. But for higher speed or road driving they do flood the foreground and kill your night vision. When I fly at night I dim everything as much as possible, and when I drive at night I don't want the area...

I don't want to drag off topic a bunch with pictures and whatnot. Unless they've changed in the last year mine were the new version. Better than stock, definitely. Piss poor output pattern for the price though. High beams were great. Low beams were not that bright, made bright X shaped hot...

I'm glad to read that myself. I sure know a lot of guys who recently sold their JK (including myself) to buy a Tacoma. Got tired of all the maintenance and it was really overkill for MOST of what I did with it.

I hope they are better than what they sell for the JK.

Looks good! I'd keep a close eye on the inside/front of those bags. They look pretty interesting stuffed up there. I'm jealous that the bags have internal bump stops. I have wanted to run air bags and cradles, but none of the air bags I've used ever had internal bumps. So running at low...

Went from a minivan front clip to a.... Subaru forester? I'm not sure if the '16 hilux or '16 Tacoma looks worse! haha

Yeah I know someone who bought a Lr tank from Australia and is having it shipped. The exchange rate helped a lot I guess. I'm waiting to see if he has trouble picking it up at the port or gets hit with some tax etc.

Considering they are listed as 53lbs online, I'm actually impressed that they came in under that number. Weird thing is, their listed weight for a 255/80/17 E rates is 51lbs.... A lot of the sizes seem to weight less than a KM2 or toyo open county MT so I'm happy about that. I see the...

What kind of mileage are you seeing? That is the 6.2l gasser, right?

1) preventative maintenance. Change the fluids, filters, belts, plugs. Fix any leaks or descrepancies. Have a good look at the front end components (ball joints, cvs, tie rod ends, bearings) and u joints etc. I've seen a lot of second gens stranded with broken ball joints and broken wheel...

Just FYI you can buy them new on tire rack for almost that cheap as well. ;) I would considered a set for short term use if I end up with a trd sport (17" factory wheels). Edit: price now $169 each. Pretty sure they were $139 just the other day. Either way not a bad option if you find a...

Great work! The black trim and access doors really tie it together. I like the silver spur FWC but the white trim and doors don't look nearly as clean as what you did. Did you actually buy most of the access doors that way, or paint them yourself?

I can't speak specifically for bft a/ts, but as mentioned a 255/85/16 or 255/80/17 is roughly 33x10. Someone use to make a standard 33x9.50 but it was for 15" wheels. The obvious difference between a 16 and 17" wheel with the same diameter tire is sidewall height. Taller sidewall generally...
