    Tundra or Tacoma re gear with fourwheel camper opinions 4.88

    My setup isn't quite like yours, but maybe my experience can help you out. I have a 2011 5th gen runner with a 3" OME lift and Cooper ST/Maxx tires on it. These are tall and narrow, which I like. They measure ~32.8" tall when new. The original gearing was 3.73. With the bigger tires and...

    Old fart question here; I have an iPad mini with ~ 30 gigs total memory and 15-20 gigs typically available. After downloading enough maps to be useful how well can I expect Gaia/Pro work on my device?

    campsite pics..lets see um

    I tried to get a pic of us camping down at a friend's place in Monument, OR, for the eclipse. The eclipse was exceptional and the beauty of the clear night skies awesome! But I can't get it to upload. :oops: So I thought I'd just put up this one from a very cool morning along the Teanaway...

    MY DL650 sidecar setup

    I recently sold my 2013 BMW F800GT. A fantastic bike, but at 69, I found I hated riding it in this summer's heat. I'm keeping the DL650/DMC hack though. Way too much fun and SWMBO still likes going out for rides in it. Can't wait for the sunny cool days of fall to start exploring all the...

    MY DL650 sidecar setup

    've been married now for over 44 years. SWMBO still lets me out to have fun! Even comes out a few times with me. I'm pretty sure that I'll be selling the BWM F800GT and just focusing on the DL650 hack in the near future. Love my Beemer but love my wife more. Rather have her along for the...

    Gen 5 alternator replacement

    I just ordered a 270 amp replacement alternator. Pricey, but well worth the investment if it keeps my two AGMs happy. The second battery was installed professionally. I run additional LED lighting, an ARB 400 watt inverter, a 2 meter ham radio, etc. The fridge is the biggest drain...

    Gen 5 alternator replacement

    I have a dual battery system in my '11 T4R. I had it professionally installed. The alternator never impressed me with just the original battery, but now with two under the hood it is really appearing anemic. Both batteries are AGMs and the alternator cannot keep either one near a full charge...

    Inka Outdoor Trailers

    Hey Michael, Just found your thread here. I'm very interested in the Venture. I'm also talking with Mario at AT. But like you, the galley and cabin are very big selling points with me. I like the idea of have cabinets with doors standard on them. Thanks for mentioning the places you have...

    ROF's BEACHES OF BAJA 17

    I am looking forward to trying this with my wife some time soon. I'm guessing the winds are primarily from the west. Correct? Just trying to figure out the best way to park my little trailer/RTT setup. Ace, what kind of stakes are people using to stake down their tents with? Hope to see...

    Dilemma re: replacement for TDI -- 4Runner or Tacoma

    I've owned a 2000 Taco Xcab and now own a 2011 4Runner. I really appreciated the smaller dimensions of the Taco, but love the lushness of the T4R. If I had two young kids I'd go for the T4R hands down. On the Taco I had a reinforced fiberglass shell with a Autohome medium sized Columbus tent...

    Delica charging issues

    My grandson picked up a Delica recently. Within a couple of days the alternator went out. He installed a new alternator and then also had to replace the two 12v batteries. He has noticed a continuous small drain on the batteries since then. Are there any Delica gurus on this forum that can...

    '14 Tacoma Suspension Upgrade - advice for beginner

    Here is my totally different approach to your situation. First, leave your rig stock until you add the bumper and winch. you will hate having a medium to heavy duty suspension without that extra weight. I've had three OME suspension kits over the past 20 years and cannot reccomend them enough...

    83 flatbed expo/farm/get stuff done truck

    Have you thought of calling ARB for their advice? I would have an idea of the weight of the original box versus the new flatbed and any weight changes you've done to the front end. My guess would be medium in front and heavy in back. If you just go to heavy all the way around without first...
