    Kirkham's awning

    Here are some pics of my old one... Wyo, I had this on my old rig. This awning was well made and was readily deployable. Here it is folded up. I chose not to use the bag, I stored it in a Bazuka tube (rod holder) attached to the BajaRack. I attached it to the rack additionally with some...

    Camper Shells - brands, styles and mods

    Snugtop Snugpro Hokie, I have looked at various shells available in my area. I have seen Leer, Raider, Astro/ATC, ARE, and Snugtop. I have chosen to go with the Snugtop line. Currently, I have a 2011 Tundra CrewMax (bed = 5.5 foot long). I need a place to store my tools / equipment, and I...

    Glamper shell...errrr 'Camper shell' I mean... Well, things are not as they seem...I went back to the 'factory' store for ATC shells, and found out that the shell will not be available for quite some time. Also, the price seems to go up every time I talk them...:mad: Moving on...I found...

    Titan, Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it. My cargo issues are less now that I have the Sherpa II trailer. The Tundra has much more room even with the tool boxes in the shell. The bed slide seems to be a nice idea, I really have not considered it. I'll look into it though! :26_7_2...

    Bigwapiti's 2011 Tundra build...'BIG NAMBE'

    Great minds think alike! Tundra + Shell + Rack + side tool boxes...I am really liking where I am going with this build...I am dealing with the factory store for ATC / Astro shells. They 'were' headquartered in Garnett, KS until their manufacturing plant burned down...They are about to re-open...

    Bigwapiti's 2011 Tundra build...'BIG NAMBE'

    Shell ponderings... All, I have been mulling around on various shells for the rig. Due to the shorter box dimension of the CrewMax, I am trying to utilize the shell as efficiently as possible. Cab high or higher? - I have decided to go with the cab high at this point. I have had a Leer...

    2011 Tundra suspension ideas

    I was referring to the suspension system for the 3rd generation 4runner... So are the OME shocks made specifically for the U.S. market Tundra? Curious to know... Regards, BWJ

    2011 Tundra suspension ideas

    It will be interesting to get your impressions of this setup. My suspension die is not cast as of yet...I might consider the OME setup as well. I guess you can say that I was swayed to the Sonoran Steel System 1.2 instead because the OME setup for the 3rd generation 4runner was specifically...

    2011 Tundra suspension ideas

    Subscribed... I am considering the Toytec Ultimate Kit for my rig. I was going to go with the heavy duty Eibach springs / Bilstein shocks to accomodate a heavier winch and bumper combo. I'm not too eager to go with the Icon coilovers or their equivalent which will need to be rebuilt in 1-2...

    Bigwapiti's 2011 Tundra build...'BIG NAMBE'

    Wheel / Tire choice... All, I have narrowed the tire sizes for big Nambe down to 2 possibilities. I don't want to go too big because it is my DD. Currently, the size wheel that came from the factory was 255/70r18. I really got a great deal on a set of new 17" TRD wheels, and I am going to...
