Who is selling them now?

Adding a supercharger to a rig that is under geared is only going to make the transmission problem worse as you said. I think you did the right thing. Your drivetrain will appreciate it anyway. I would have gone lower personally but give it time. After running some familiar mountain passes...

It's a very small change. I do think you'll notice a difference as time passes, but depending on your stock tire size you're probably just barely back to stock performance. Not counting the heavier tires, increased rolling mass and resistance, weight of bumpers etc. I always try to gear so...

Wow I had no idea you were getting a dealer in Oregon, awesome! Right down the road too. Sorry to Denny but I'm going to have to use them when the time comes. One great thing about buying in Oregon is no sales tax too! Unfortunately I'll be in Louisiana during the show. Any details on the...

I'm not up on the tundras much, but I didn't think they offered a locker in 06. It sounds like you are describing precisely a limited slip differential. Which as I said are not that predictable. Nearly everyone I see who wrecks a truck in the snow or ice isn't aware of the characteristics of...

Oh boy the great debate... My post got long and rambly, I apologize in advance. Just "speaking my mind" about my experiences. First off, auto lockers are way smoother on autos than manuals. I've run both. Remember that they lock with torque applied on the pinion side that outweighs...

You know I look at your "kitchen" setup and it makes me waffle back and forth even more about how to order a four wheel camper. I'm closing on a house finally and trying to iron out the details to have a tacoma and camper for the summer. There is something great about the simplicity of a...

So weird how some people have such bad experience with km2s in snow. They worked well for me (not siped) on my f150 on solid ice. And even better on the JK (siped). Sure there are better tires for snow and ice but even running steep icy/snowy trails I never had issues. Siping them will no...

I can't ever remember actually seeing someone's pop-up camper left behind. Anywhere. Once or twice a hardside. As stated, the real advantage of the pop up is mobility. It is quick and easy to close up and move around. If you want to leave a few itema behind and/or secure your spot, just...

Nice work!

The one positive I see is the auto being a six speed. Hopefully less "slushy" than the current auto. I wanted to see a fully boxed frame, four wheel discs, better trans, more powerful engine etc. So far I'm not seeing much reason to warrant buying a 2016 over a 2015 where the issues are at...

Haha when I bought snow tires for my commuter focus, the tire shop told me I could put on some bfg a/t tires too. Maybe I should have! Now I have the car in Louisiana with soft snow tires on it. The soft sidewalls really allow the car to get pushed around in the wind. Definitely look for a...

Looks like a fun trip! Always glad to see people getting their kids out on trips. Hard to imagine two teenage sisters getting along in a small space like that for a week!

The auto really does feel like a slush box. Most newer transmissions can easily be tuned via computer, unfortunately I don't believe that is an option with the Tacoma. My f150 was really transformed with a custom tune that made firmer and quicker shifts, raised the shift points under load etc...

I agree with this. I always hear people talk about how they use to get around fine with lesser powered 4 cylinder trucks back in the day. But I'm with you, times have changed and that is not the standard with traffic any more. I got around in a stock VW vanagon syncro with 90hp. But even...

If you don't mind knowing that the truck is a little over gross, I say go for it. The hawk would look and fit better, with slightly better weight distribution. But either way with good tires and shocks, and air bags or similar I bet it will be fine. If you do a couple upgrades and don't like...

Seriously? You're dragging a camper and a dirt bike! You so carry everything with you! Here is mine, weighed as stated previously. No kitchen sink. My overall weight was way less than your contraption. Add in a custom fiberglass pop-top, 5x 35" tires and wheels, heavy duty aftermarket...

Get the furnace. The newer Atwood they use only draws 1.8 amps. Notice most of the guys who love the wave heaters are not in the damp Pacific Northwest. I don't like using cat heaters in campers here because it just adds more moisture into the air. One (or two) fantastic fans with a heater...

Don't waste you money on the truck lites. Spend a few more bucks and get the jw speakers if you're considering this type of option. They don't even compare. The light output of the truck lite looks dim, purple, "splotchy" fill, and a "meh" cutoff (scientific terms) compared to the JW...

Bad one. The AEV ride is much better than stock. Off and on road. Much better controlled and will allow more suspension travel. Progressive springs and matched shocks will support heavier loads and prevent bottoming out over rough terrain (but still allow the suspension to reach the bump...
