    Mark's DC Tacoma

    No, it's basically impossible to change the rear tail lights without dropping the bumper. The bumper will pivot down and out of the way if you remove the main bumper supports and loosen the bolt that mlountes the 1/4 panel protection to the frame.

    Fabbed up a bumper for the '98 Taco

    It looks great! I bet it feels good to build things on your own and save hundreds and hundreds of dollars!

    No worries Scott! Oh, I loved the Laurel Lakes trail! What spiked my interest was an article in one of the off road magazines a couple months ago. I vaugely remember the article but I think it was about some expedition style land rovers and showed them camping on the shore of Laurel lake...

    It's a little side road just south of the 203 along the 395 near mammoth - Laurel Lakes. It's rated a 2.5, there's sections that are more challenging than what's pictured but it's nothing a stock 4x4 can't handle.

    Thank you all for the compliments! :victory: No, unfortunately I haven't found a setup yet. I think the best bet would be to mount it to the body. I found a couple nice flush mount gas caps at west marine but they have a 1 1/2" neck w/o accommodations for a vent and the tank has a 2"...

    1600 Eezi-Awn for the Family? Honestly.

    I have the 1600 and I really don't think you'd want two kids and two adults in there. It'd be very tight and uncomfortable in there. You could get away with it for a while if your kids are young and small but like Mike S. said, they grow fast. My wife, 19 mo. old son and I sleep in there...

    Seeker, Sorry for the late reply, I've been so busy lately...:smilies27 Yes it does ride softer now. Before the bumper my truck rode perfect for my taste, firm when empty and semi firm when full. So now when it's empty it rides inbetween which is very nice but when it's loaded it's just...

    Found Cheap LED lights

    I too wondered if the fluctuating voltage would make a difference. I don't know much about electronics but I do have a general idea of electrical theory. On an industrial level an AC voltage regulator is basically a transformer that can change taps (how many secondary windings it uses...

    Thanks for the compliments P1, sounds like your truck is coming together as well. :jumping: PCR, thank you for the kind words! It's called a wrinkle finish powdercoat. I love it, given that it's applied properly then it'll last forever. I'm going on a fishing/offroading trip this coming...

    Found Cheap LED lights

    I was thinking of hardwiring other battery operated gadgets as well. Can you just find out what voltage it runs off of with the batteries then find an appropriate resistor and run it in series prior to the gadget?
