    Mark's DC Tacoma

    That would be nice a three seat taco, I probably should have mentioned we're expecting a second baby in Feb :wings: So for me the rear seat has to stay. Maybe it's time to get rid of the taco and get a 80 LC with an adventure trailer :sombrero:

    If I was able to remove the backseat and use it for the fridge and additional storage I would have mounted my tent similar to Scott's. However, my son wouldn't have anywhere to sit... :ylsmoke: No, I never removed mine. I wouldn't mind removing it though since it's only good for high speed...

    Mark's DC Tacoma

    I think the method of mounting is stout. I haven't had any issues with it thus far. When an adult is in the tent moving around and shaking the tent - the entire truck moves. I saw no deflection in the uprights/upright mounts/can back/bed sides, it all moves as a whole. Weighing 130lbs I...

    Dual Battery Management

    given you use the same battery models or at least batteries with the same internal resistance then there shouldn't be any problems with uneven charging/discharging. Quality crimps/lugs and using loctite can last 50+ years :ylsmoke: In the electric utility industry we have equipment that's...

    I don't see a freezing problem with this bumper - I just hope you have some gloves on when you slide the 'dead bolt' out. It does take a little bit of persuasion, you have to remember that's what keeps the swing gate from vibrating/moving seperate of the bumper. Any vibration of the tire...

    Thanks MP, I've never heard it called Adventure Red - I like that :victory: I think it adds pop to a picture when taken right :rolleyes: Good question...Yesterday I parked on a slope next to an expensive Lexus and had to take out the stroller. The bumper opened towards the front of the...

    what's to come... Well I placed an order for new wheels... I really liked the american racing teflon coated wheels but thought I'd never get them until I talked to the guys at america's tire co. They're price and service is unbeatable. Apparently they do so much business with america's racing...

    I've been busy

    cross link That is freakin cool! You'll have to update us after a trail run. I've been pondering air bags since my load fluctuates so much... I was always skeptical because I thought it hindered suspension flex. I look forward to more reviews :p

    MEXICO: Weekend expedition (Sept 8-10, 2006)

    I told my brother in law to cut one up, he's a butcher for a grocery store :chowtime: The ranger and some others said they were controlled fires that looked out of control :( I'd go back but I think I'd camp somewhere else for better picture taking...What's the word on your truck?

    Dual Battery Management

    It is true that the odyssey is a more balanced battery that is why they don't use the different color tops game. Another nice thing is that they are covered in a metal jacket for durability. I use a 1200mjt for my starter and a 1700mjt as an aux. About two years ago I remember reading a...
