    Expeditions West 2004 Tacoma

    I remember you contemplating JB Weld or actually welding some tabs to mount this. What was the outcome? How'd you mount it? What's it wired to?

    Mark's DC Tacoma

    Vehicle Monitoring With the added weight of all the steel, the rotating mass of the wheel/tire combination and the anticipated weight of passengers, camping gear and fuel I knew I'd be putting extensive stress on the drivetrain, particularly the transmission. Typical Toyota style = very basic...

    Mark's DC Tacoma

    Oh man, I love it! For looks and functionality it gets :bowdown: from me... Now if I were to set something up to sleep in the bed then I'd go for a traditional shell. I'd have to shrink quite a bit to be able to fit in the bed of my dc though :o

    Mark's DC Tacoma

    Wow, you stumped me :shakin: . When I ordered these I got a part number from a friend which I no longer have. What I do know is that they are made by procomp. It's to my understanding that they are now made differently so they won't fit the 01-04 tacoma's (won't clear the caliper). But...

    Mark's DC Tacoma

    No, no issues. First thing in the morning you can tell the brakes are cold but it's negligible and it goes away almost instantly.

    Mark's DC Tacoma

    brakes Shortly after the lift/sliders/front bumper were added I went for a quick jaunt through the snow in big bear. With an unloaded truck on my descent home I had some serious brake fade towards the bottom, I used my brakes a lot but I didn't think I was that hard on them. So I wanted to...

    Mark's DC Tacoma

    I guess it's about time I start one of these.... How about a little background before I begin with the goodies? In October of 2001 I was in the market for a truck - primary interest being pre 2001 tacomas. At the time I didn't like the front end of the 01 and up tacomas, I also thought the...

    Fire Extinguishers (is halon worth it?)

    I had a few questions about halon... Is it heavier than air? mainly, if you inhale it, will it come back out? I've heard it does something molecularly (is that a word?) to break down the fire as opposed to just displacing the oxygen, is this true?

    Air Compressors (On Board Air)

    I have the viar 400c and it's great! I have used it fairly often and love it. I love the reliability over the possibility of co2 running out. From 15-32psi (32x1150x15) it takes about 3-4 minutes. It's mounted in an ammo can that's mounted in the bed - works perfect but I'll probably end up...
