I was just about to reply the same thing. ********
Normally I do not bite on threads like this, but this is so absurd that I'm regretfully being drawn into "hater world". :lurk:
I've been working too much and it's been too cold this week! Back in the garage tomorrow for the other side.
Thanks! I was just checking out your build on TW. Wow your Tacoma cleaned up well!
Congrats on the high VPD, your the man.
This is Expo, probably the best source for all things Expo/Overlanding, including RTT's. I would have a look through several of the excellent reviews, tests, and existing threads to help you better decide on your RTT purchase for "you and your woman".
Haha well then I don't need to convince the choir why this truck is such a good platform for overland/expo stuff. They are pretty cheap to buy too, nice ones are below $15k all day. I'm just hoping with enough work I can make it moderately capable, thats going to be the tricky part. I am...
Lol well I thought about it but I really dont think the 7.5 clam is up for the challenge. I think it's even pushing it with 35's. LT would be sweet but I'm not running glass.
Well glad it was what convinced you to come to Expo! Your 4Runner is ************ but a Tundy for some baja use might...
Thanks gents, excited to get it done this weekend and start trimming the flares. Hoping to drive down to my Montana mailbox next week sometime and grab my new wheels and everything else that is waiting down there.
Connor, glad you signed up over here man, lots of inspiration for adventures and...
I decided to battle through the cold for a few hours and get the passenger side primed and sealed. A messy process for sure and it sure didn't come out as clean as I'd hoped but not that big of a deal...once it's fully dried I'll be rocker guarding over top of everything underneath. I'm hoping...
Too cold and too much snow today... looks like I'll be post-poning the other side until next weekend so I can get a propane heater setup in the garage. Might swing by there today and work on seam sealing it though.
FWIW, I had to pull the inner fender liner so we could get in there and weld...
Finally, some real progress.
I pulled the truck back into my rental garage yesterday evening in preparation for the "tub party" today to get the old Tundra ready for the new 35's when they land. It was as good excuse as any to get my little Lincoln welder setup, so this week I have been...
Excellent photos and report of your adventure. It's always so much more enjoyable when the photographic work matches the commentary, really makes you feel like you were there.
What's the next trip? If you ever heading North let me know as it would be cool to meet up. I'm hoping to run the...
Love the pyrite mica color. Nice truck!
Also pretty entertaining license plate edits. I LOL'd. Although just to be the dark horse, I'm quite certain anyone driving down the street has the potential to write down your license plate number. Unless you drive around with the awesome mustache face...
Nailed it.
My 3rd Gen Runner days are long gone but I still love the platform and have debating buying another for my fiance at some point. Having just sold my 80 series (no, not a 100) the size differecne on the trail coming from the 4Runner was very noticeable. The 4Runner always felt more...
Well Monte, I'm on chapter 4 but I need to go to bed.... leaves me something good to read while I'm at work tomorrow!
Awesome so far. Love the amazing photos to go with a truly memorable story and adventure. I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling inspired to get out and explore after reading...
From the limited number of people who have done 35's on the Tundra without a bro-lift it doesn't seem to have been a major issue. Or at least, not mentioned... so in all honesty it isnt something I've considered. I will have to see though as I know the DC and AC fenders vary in design slightly...
I will be trying to use a single sheet to patch the hole. I want it to be as clean as possible when finished. My plan is to use a 3M seam sealer on all the weld areas to ensure a good seal, as well as a ton of primer and paint, followed by POR15 or some bedliner. I am sure I'm going to have to...
Still no real updates yet. However, I'll be cutting up the firewall this weekend (starting to anyways...) in preparation for the 35's. I expect it to take a weekend per side but we'll see how it unfolds. Currently my Tundra is on the middle perch on my Bilstein 5100s with stock coils and I would...
I always enjoy your updates. Very ingenious setup.
Does your ARB fridge sit below the bedsides? I guess I could go measure my own but I was debating if I can stick my fridge back there and still have it covered by the Retrax Tonneau cover I'm picking up this week...
Not sure if you mentioned...
