Funny enough I would have had a high shell topper for my truck if I could have found one. I bought my truck on a trip out West and needed to use it right away. I could not find a simple aluminum regular or high topped any kind of top in a 48 hour search including Vegas, LA, and Phoenix as a...

12v or USB fan. For the obvious reasons, but also these two. I sometimes just really really need white noise to fall asleep. To get through the mosquito hour and not coat your self in bug spray just set the fan up to blow across your head. It's great to see the little buggers try to fly at...

Unnecessary I think for North and South America. Buying a quality tire preferably with more plys and a stronger sidewall, like an E rated tire on a lighter vehicle, will go a long way to providing protection. Probably an amount even exceeding what two spares would. It is extremely difficult to...

I can't imagine even the most diehard Toyota guy missing swapping out a 3.0 3vz-fe for just about anything lol. If I ever get to the point of SASing my 1st gen Taco it will probably get 2.0 or 2.3 EB at the same time.

Man that 2.3 and manual would make such an awesome retrofit to so many old school trucks. If Ford racing offers a standalone engine management for that combo that would be almost more compelling than buying the whole new Bronco lol. I can't imagine 300HP and 315ft-lbs and a 7 speed manual in a...

One of the Mexican truck "camper" (more their word for a truck cap then a slide in camper as we think of it) or truck body manufacturers needs to jump on the overlanding band wagon and rake in cash from gringos. They use mini trucks for hauling so much there are all these great truck camper and...

Ugh. Why can't we just trash all of this and have UHF CB like in Australia?

That's a pretty moot point though because the fridge will be full of X and then be slowly emptied until the next re-supply. I'm not going to be putting river rock in my fridge just for thermal mass as I consume the contents. LOL. Though emergency thermal mass beer might be a possible...

Interesting info. Regarding cycle time it makes me wish these fridges had programable spreads for cut off. I would love to have like a 2 degree spread during solar hours and then switch to an 8 to 10 degree spread at night and/or a higher set temp for overnight to conserve power more in the...

Politicize every thread over and over with near impunity and maybe you get a tap on the wrist, or nothing. But use a PG -13 naughty word and it's serious business. LOL

My vote goes for entirely iPhone nonsense.

Agreed. For me I just hate the size of full size trucks and for appliance cars I don't care so whatever is nicest and reliable and cheap is fine. So it's not that I don't think there are plenty of non-Toyota things that are great to buy just for my personal passions the list has been small...

It's really depressing as a once Toyota fan. I have been treading hopefully in an ocean of nothing hoping they would get a really impressive clean sheet design with class leading features in things I care about. It's clear everything is just going to get punted until a pivot to battery and...

I have wanted to do this since forever. I am convinced a boat cover or transport truck tarp maker could do this for a reasonable fee. I am 100% convinced using bungees and hooks would be a net time saver, and in cold weather so much less frustrating. I have gotten so mad putting my cover on in...

So nice seeing steelies instead of Bro wheels on a nice build. Good luck with sale.

No info but interested and following.

I am being tongue in cheek and glib for sure, but is it any different than the generalization that a carrier and two gerries is a great idea and best practice that everyone should aspire to? Look, all I am saying is there is a lot of poser pressure in this regard. There are lots of reasons to...

Sure there are and I never said there wasn't, and those reasons apply to what percentage of people that move it? By far most people decide on a tire size and just run it not even considering for a moment that maybe sticking to a 1" size lower than their dream tire or not running a 13.50 wide...

Yeah my cooler will stay put where it is going. If I had to lug it around regularly I would definitely want it lighter.

I find it perplexing not being able to get a Subaru out of that road, even with two flats. I go into areas like this with 80L of water just for myself. I always see people, sometimes in rigs with a crazy level of prep, with 10-20L often for 2 people and just shudder. I have at least a chance of...
