    How much weight is TOO much weight?

    Yeah, click on the "sold" link in the signature. Tons of pics there. FYI, you may have clearance issues with the synergy sector shaft brace and the metalcloak track bar. Maybe not too. But the synergy bar is bent specifically for more clearance at the frame end. Just FYI. Looks like a...

    Jk 2015 on 35 tips

    A Your still running too much tire pressure. Try 26-28 on a 35 on a jk. The ride and tire wear is so much better all around. I had discount tire rotate my tires once or twice and immediately I could feel that the tires were over inflated due to horrible ride. 35-38psi was way too much.

    How much weight is TOO much weight?

    Everything on the factory jk is weak regarding suspension, axles, steering etc. In my opinion. My JKRU weighed 5500lbs with myself in the seat, full tank of gas and one tool bag. On many trips I'd say I was well over 6k lbs. Some trips with four adults and the rear stacked to the roof with...

    FWC rear wall bike mounts

    I have a pair of these locking Yakima fork mounts that I intended to mount of the back of the Ursa minor J30. http://www.yakima.com/shop/bike/truck-bed/locking-blockhead What i would really like to do on a four wheel camper, is mount a cross bar full width on the back wall above the door. And...

    On board air: Anyone running York or similar setup?

    A buddy put together a York OBA setup on his TJ years ago. I forgot what car we pulled the compressor from, but he rebuilt it and ran it in addition to the factory a/c. It was cool but ultimate rarely used. I believe he told me that he wouldn't bother with it again for the hassle and the...

    Tundra Flippac Build

    I carried a rotopax inside my jeep for 5 weeks, camping and wheeling all over the western states. From sea level to over 8000 ft, temps over 120. Never leaked a drop or smelled a whiff of gas. It's probably fine.

    What Temps do you use your Flip Pac?

    More critically (to me), who uses theirs frequently in the rain? Not the occasional shower but extended cold/damp conditions with wind etc. I almost never see a flippac west of the cascades up here, I imagine it would be a pain to dry out or put up/tear down the rainfly in driving rain and wind.

    2014 Tundra Crew Max Build

    I really would like to see the bottom aluminum framed and covered too. Seems everyone ends up with rotten floors after so many years. Or ripped out tie down points with the stapled wood. I'd rather a framed and insulated base.

    Camper and Truck Photos

    I was looking at one of these on Craigslist last night. With an engine swap and 4x4 conversion it may not be bad. And I could buy the new Audi S4 I've been wanting with the leftover money!

    Doc's AT FlipPac Build Thread

    Get the zero degree version of this. Amazingly warm. I slept in my Ursa minor top colder than 20 degrees with 30mph wind and snow and woke up sweating...

    AEV Lift Kit Question - Sport VS. Rubicon

    There is no reason to get hung up on how much lift you'll get between different models. Take a sport, rubicon, rock hard or whatever, install the AEV 3.5" lift and they will all sit the same unless the weight is different. The AEV springs don't sag as much when weight is added like the factory...

    Considering a 2015 Tacoma - a few questions

    Good to know. Seat comfort is subjective for sure. I have lower back and neck injuries and basically every seat sucks anyway! Personally I'm planning on an sr5 or basic dclb. Re-gearing so I'll throw in arbs anyway, and icon/ome suspension so the trd does nothing useful for me. To each his...

    Considering a 2015 Tacoma - a few questions

    What are the restrictions on the TRD locker? Most manufacturers limit the speed, gear, 4x4 selector position etc which a locker can be engaged. Wouldn't the tow package on a non TRD have the same trans cooler?

    Headlight bulbs - upgrade?

    A head light with moving parts huh? Be advised that one of the reviews on their own site says that the fan stops working sometimes and the light turns off. IF they actually produce a good light pattern and cutoff (unlike hid retrofit) it might be interesting. But the cheap little fan on the...

    Battleship Jones: 2015 Tacoma DCLB Build Thread

    Be sure to check the suspension under full compression as well, to ensure that the shock body doesn't contact the axle.
