I like 4Runners (hence my username), but I think the Tacoma is the better choice for right now. IMO, the 4Runner is overdue for a 6th Gen. I compared the Tacoma TRD Off Road to the 4Runner TRD Off Road - and bought the Tacoma. Pros for Tacoma: Better Safety (actually a IIHS Top Safety with...

I have a 3rd Gen and have had a 2nd Gen (both TRD OR's). There is no question IMO that the 3rd Gen is the way to go. 3rd Gen advantages (based on my experience): Seats are much more comfortable. Gas mileage is 10% to 15% better. Ride is much nicer and more planted feeling - especially on the...

I never really had a problem with them, but my wife who is shorter than me, absolutely hated them for the reasons you mention.

Can't wait for the build and IMO, an EXCELLENT choice!

Some of the Nissan advantages: Roof Strength - The Tacoma is 3X its weight, and the Frontier is 4X its weight. Giving the Frontier a "Good" rating and the Tacoma a "Marginal" rating. (According the IIHS). If you were to roll - I'd rather be in the Nissan. Frame - Tacoma C-Channel (other than...

You stated that you placed all your weight in the trailer over the axle (which is at the rear of the trailer). Yet the 2011 Toyota 4Runner manual (Page 290) is clear: "Never load more weight in the back than in the front of the trailer. About 60% of the load should be in the front half of the...

Very cool! I love the Forester and the Subaru company. Will be watching this thread and can't wait to see the build.

Congrats on the ticket and the new radio! I have a Yaesu HT, also, and it is a great radio - the build quality and performance have been exceptional.

Yeah - it must come down to how quickly the exam team enters the info. My exam team told me they would be entering the info to the FCC online system on Saturday. I thought I might see it mid-week, but was really surprised to see it today. Congrats on your license and I hope it is in there for...

After reading this forum a month ago, I was motivated and figured it was time to get my Ham license. I took the test Saturday morning and found my call sign in the FCC database this afternoon. 2 days - that is fast! I used the Gordon West Technician study guide and the audio CD's. For anyone...

Not talking about adding it to an existing hitch-cargo system - rather I am talking about these boxes having a built-in attachment that would/could fold down and hook straight into the receiver. That way you could store the box inside the truck as your everyday supply box, but if you needed the...

Really like the looks of these - wish you had an optioin for my 4Runner. Another feature that would be nice is if these boxes had a mount for the receiver hitch. That way they could be in the truck bed or the back of the 4Runner, but if you needed that cargo space for some large object, this...
