    That's a good point. How well does it function as an awning? I was thinking I can extend the amount of shade by attaching a tarp to the tent and the truck. My rear tire carrier is going to open to the passenger side, I wonder how it'd affect the tent opening to that side.

    Once everthing was test fitted the can-back up rights got a coat of rust inhibiting flat black paint then voila... I can get in the passenger side door of the tent via the bed rail. I can also get in through the passenger side door of the tent by standing on the bed rail. Here's...

    Install Mounting turned out to be a breeze. The can-back up rights used a set screw to keep the cross bar in place. The distance between the set screws happened to be the same distance between the mounting rails, so all I had to do was ream the holes and drill through the cross bar and the...

    Here are a couple more. I should have got a profile shot but I don't think you'll even be able to see it. It only hangs down about 2-3" below the frame rail. I keep forgetting to roll up the spare tire carrier, I don't cary the tool with me anymore... Here are the results of filling my...

    Here are some pictures of the Downey Off Road Aux Gas tank... Unfortunately under full flex the tire will rub the filler neck, regardless of what Downey may claim. When I say full flex I mean fully tucked rear driver wheel and the passenger rear wheel in the air. I actually broke...

    Camera Bag

    This is what I'm using to carry all of my stuff. Which includes, dig. rebel, 70-200 f/4L and hood, 17-40 f/4L and hood, flash, batteries, mem cards, cleaning supplies, a few filters and an occassional mini dv camcorder. It's not too bad to carry everything but it's not the best for me, IMO...

    Thanks again for the compliments! I don't think modifications will ever be done! With this longer range I need more comfortable seats to withstand the longer durations. No deck...yet ;) DO welded the entire hole on the frame reinforcement. He welded sections on the top and bottom and...

    How heavy is your Tacoma?

    I too had the 8 leafs and after my last trip to death valley fully loaded for a 3 day weekend it sagged a lot and the springs were way too soft. I had Deaver reconditioned my leafs (repaint, new bushings/hardware, including u bolts) made it a 10 and it's really nice now, properly valved shocks...

    You guys are right, I think Scott set the pace for 'fast'. I think once my tent is on and my bumper is installed I'm just going to enjoy it for a while;) we'll see how well I can hold to that huh. How can one stop modding??? P1, It's not that big of a deal to install. Being young and...

    Theoretically a 420 or so range tacoma Am I doing things too fast here? I just installed this... It's the downey aux fuel tank. It's been sitting since November and I've had some spare time. So after 2 1/2 afternoons of cursing and busting knuckles it's all done. I got back from...

    A 2004 Tacoma grows up

    I got it all plumbed, I just need to wire the switch and bolt down the filler neck. Instead of using a "T" I ended up running a hose from the evap line directly on the main tank to the aux tank then running the line from the aux tank rollover valve to the evap canister (whatever it's called)...
