I kinda like it, it appears a lot more subdued in person(even fresh, but especially now that there's some road grime) compared with their marketing materials but still adds a little splash of color. Pretty sure whoever edits their social media pics cranks up the saturation and lume on greens...
I probably wouldn't go with resi shocks for your usage. Remote reservoirs add a lot of points of failure and added maintenance compared with non-resi shocks for performance that few people really use.
I would give Ironman Foam Cell Pros a look, IMO they make the best combination of price...
Honestly I wouldn't even be that shocked if he managed to turn a profit on BAT. Basically brand new and well built with quality mods. Of course an auction always has a risk factor but I can't remember the last time I saw something not go for top dollar on BAT. I feel like at this point it's...
I mean yeah he will be pushing his payload, and yeah that isn't something that should be taken lightly but payloads are rated extremely conservatively in the US. Fudging the payload by 100 or 200 pounds especially with the upgraded rear springs and big brake kit he's got isn't something to lose...
This looks really nice and has a GVWR of 3500(again, that's the GVWR not dry weight so the heaviest it'll be). It'd be just fine behind a Tacoma.
Don't forget that the loudest people on the internet are cry babies. Tacomas tow fine as long as you aren't right up on the limit, the redline's at...
Firstly, love your taste in cars crazyccrmd, I too have a modern Tacoma and a Range Rover Classic.
Anyway though, that's definitely the move on the camper. Least invasive thing to uninstall and the market for pop-up campers like that is hot right now, considering the lead times on them right...
You'd even need to work at it to bring a no-expenses-spared build on a brand new 200-series over $110k.
Oh, wait, just looked back at the ad. It comes with some Pendleton blankets. 10/10 good price \s
Just test drive a 4Runner and a 3rd gen Taco back to back at a dealership if you're looking for a stock-to-stock comparison. The 3rd gen is mechanically similar enough to a 2nd gen that as far as ride and driving position go it'll be a reasonable approximation of how yours would've been stock.
Where're you located?
I'm a little concerned about how much life my tranny has left, I have dreams of a manual swap but $75 is awfully cheap to have a spare on hand
I think I got carried away with my example and did a bad job of closing out my point, if you look at the way existing pop-top campers are designed(very easy to see on a GFC with the side panels open) they rely on structure in the side of the camper to give the side rails the support they need so...
This idea crossed my mind when I was attracted to picking up something like a GFC but wanted to be able to use whatever I bought on both my Tacoma and my Range Rover Classic(even if the pass through would only be useful on the Taco), but then it crossed its way right back out again for a few key...
"proper transfer case" doesn't have anything to do with how it's activated, I'm talking about low range and mechanically locking, whether in the form of full time AWD with a center diff lock or a traditional transfer case where you either have two wheel drive or locked four wheel drive. Manual...
Doesn't that apply to most protection and recovery mods though? Just because you have full skids and sliders doesn't mean you should go around trying to put them to use, but it could very easily mean the difference between thinking to yourself 'well, guess I smacked a rock' before carrying on...
Where in Seattle are you located? I live up in Bellingham. I'm actually possibly interested, thinking of finding something more comfortable than my backpacking tent for this winter. Step one is seeing if I can make it work in my rackless short-bed Tacoma though. I travel with pretty minimal gear...
Something like that, I know I've read about Jeeps with full-time lockable 4wd much earlier than you'd expect from Jeep especially though I'm unsure of the year.
I too am a wealth of useless information, especially about cars and trucks I don't and will probably never own. The Rover tidbit is at...
