    1985 Sunrader 4x4

    "only 26 ever made between 1984-1987" I'd never heard that before. That's a great looking RV... do they have a toilet?

    Help decide on lift options, '01 Tacoma

    Revco, if you don't mind, make note of the change in chassis height with the new suspension and old rims/tires, then clearance of the new tires (I assume you'll go larger :-D )

    Has anyone added a frame to a truck bed to make a trailer?

    Mini Truck Camper

    And time, it may heal all wounds but it breaks machines. My concern is the torque that force against the wheel would exert on the axle/spring mount. It would try to twist it in the u-bolts and once the axle is slightly out of line, the weight of the trailer would then work to twist it also. I...

    Mini Truck Camper

    Very cool project, I dig the truck-bed trailer campers.... I especially like the topper with the doors. It looks like you put a lot of frame in front of the bed, lots of space for storage. Be mindful of the tongue weight! One question about the trailer axle, was that how it was mounted on...

    Expedition Overland 2013 Tacoma Build

    Righto, body mount bushings doing their job more than bumper movement makes sense. btw, I didn't mean to indicate that it might be a problem, just interesting to see since it isn't something you typically get to see in person or even in a video.

    Help decide on lift options, '01 Tacoma

    Like someone else pointed out, the stock Tacoma front suspension is a coil-over design, so all the aftermarket sets will be labeled as such. I'm still using the stock suspension in my 03 DC, planning to change in the next couple of years. I'll probably get OME, a complete kit is $1000 and they...

    Expedition Overland 2013 Tacoma Build

    I just watched the quick vid on the front page of ExPo. It is surprising to see how much the ARB moves relative to the sheet metal during 0:03 - 0:07 and 0:16 - 0:23 of the video. Look at the right end. Or is that perceived movement due to perspective changing? (the angle of the truck to the...

    Anyone successfully use a truck frame for a trailer foundation?

    I like his trailer also, awesome fab work and a great looking final product, but it seems that the shape of the frame puts the bulk of the mass of the trailer and contents unnecessarily high, giving it a high CG and the bed height for loading/unloading/accessing the contents, but this might not...

    I'm interested to see what you think of the suspension. I think about replacing mine every time I drive it.

    What is the greatest overland vehicle ever sold new in the US?

    Personally, I liked my 1988 first get 4Runner more than any other vehicle I've ever owned. The Taco is a close second. This probably is partially due to my ability to travel more while I owned the 4R.
