I didn’t add a license plate to mine, but when adding a bumper mounted tire carrier that wasn’t connected to the tailgate I found it much easier to drop the wiring out the bottom of the tail light with a loop to then run up the tire carrier. I had to notch the bottom of the plastic for the...

This is always discussed at length. I have a kalita pour over but mostly use Starbucks Via.

1) I’ve never tried to set up in a rest area for several reasons. -Hard to convince cops you aren’t camping. -Hard to convince people not to rob you 2) Blankets mostly, sometimes sleeping bags, but mostly cause the kids want them. If you can’t figure out how cold or warm you will be, you...

Take the inner cover off your Tailgate. Odds are high that they just stuffed the wire in there when they took it off. after rereading, I realize you probably have to get a taillight wire by following that harness into the hinge pillar and looking behind the passenger taillight

Haha! This is true. When I saw the title, my first thought was that “small fish” are all I EVER find. I guess “small fish” finder is different than “fish finder” that is small!

Care to provide a regulatory citation for that one? I would be interested to see where it comes from.

Not an axle, if that was somehow miscommunicated, I apologize. This is drum to wheel only, both sides, and yes, all are 6 lug for Toyota. looking back, I can see how it might look like I was selling a whole axle. I’m editing now.

I have 2 wheel / tire / spacer / hub-drums with a Toyota bolt pattern for 3500 lb number 84 spindle and 10 x 2-1/4” electric brakes. This is not a complete axle, hub-drums to wheel only. If you want to run Tacoma wheels on any 3500 lb trailer axle, this should have what you need. This was on...

My suggestions, skip the corrosion resistance, the factory coatings are pretty decent, and will probably last longer than you own the trailer. My trailer was a 2007, lived in Colorado for about 8 years; then Arizona and California, original gas springs out in the weather and mud and no...

I have not specifically heard of them, but the idea that someone could successfully manufacture, import, market and deliver a rooftop tent at half the price point of Smittybilt rings alarm bells. There is a notable difference in weight and quality of materials between some of the top range...

One of those really good threads is also cross-linked in one of the “timbren alternatives“ threads. Someone who preserved the suspension alignment by welding the independent arms to a straight trailer axle and then cutting out the middle after setting it all up on the frame. Very clever.

I will admit to having one of these, a gift from an in-law. He is the type that would have a $40 bucket for the help to use when they wash his car... ?. They are extremely heavy duty, probably 3-4x thicker and more plastic than a standard bucket, although I haven’t measured or weighed. The...

Gas springs inside of a telescopic tube with pins will be much better. When you think about the amount of side loading on a rooftop tent from wind, climbing, moving around, it would become pretty easy to bend the 3/8” or so rod in the spring if that was the only thing holding it up. Probably...

Something to consider, if you mount the gas spring in the right orientation, and have the right type of frame, you can probably lock the frame in place with pins and have a much more solid platform. I just went through a minor battle finding the right springs and calculating the lifting force...

What does “waterproof” mean to you? There is a wide range... it could be “keeps out occasional rain”, or “filled with paperback books and survived an attack from a rogue fire truck”, or “was on the Titanic and look how nice my stuff is”.

Hahahaha! I may have just learned a $200 lesson in the “get what you pay for category”... My cheap Amazon (Southwest Wheel) hub drums arrived with the bearings packed loose inside a bag and one of them is crushed by a hub. and... I didn’t pay attention to all the dimensions on Spidertrax...

As much as the cats annoy me, those litter buckets are brilliant, heavy duty, designed to stack both full and empty. I keep a round basic bucket in my trasheroo too. It holds open and works for stuff like scooping water or dirt, carry firewood, sitting on, emergency drain pan, lots of uses.

Galleys? Like kitchens Or storage units? I’m guessing because it is cheap, replaceable, stops rattling and echoes/resonance, covers all sorts of surface finish defects, looks like it belongs in the vehicle... lots of reasons.

Where are you located? It sounds to me like you need to have a local place you can walk into and talk to someone at a counter.

If the hazard is definitive, what is the hazard? Do you consider a leak to be the hazard? Is there a threshold at which it becomes a hazard? Who defines it? The consequence can of a leak can vary widely, and the probability of a leak is uncertain at best. I think my point is that many...
