For sale is a Go Rhino Extreme Contractor Sport Rack for 2005+ Tacoma VB (i.e. crew cab super short 5 foot bed). I bought this rack in 2008 and it has served me very well. Manufacturer says it is rated to 500lbs. I've been standing on top and jumped on it and it never budged or felt unstable...

I am trying to find a full size RTT that doesn't take up quite as much rack width. I really like the size of the AutoHome OverZone, but would rather not part with ~$2500 for a tent. Does anyone know of other manufactures that make tents that are only 44'' or 45'' wide and 12'' thick? Seems...

Rtt ? Is that ARB a Simpson II or Simpson III

Well thanks for the input everyone. Still not sure where I will start, but good point regarding the ability to change if need be; I'd rather get it right the first time, but its not like it would be a super costly mistake if I decided I had to change. Keep me posted expotaco. I will be...

Nice. Is that setup you built basically a tire swing gate style mount for the bikes? If so you have any extra detailed pics of how exactly you did the bike mounting? Thanks

Mechanical- That is exactly what I am talking about. I hadn't bothered to sit down and run any numbers yet--even though I am all for getting my nerd on every now and then--but even without running the calcs you know that bed weight will have a diluted impact on front springs. Add to that the...

So another random question here. Anyone ever run a Leer DCC style contractor cap on the back of a double cab extra short bed? If so I would love pictures and any info you can give about weight and handling off road. I am still trying to figure out exactly how I am going to configure my bed...

Thanks man. Just posted a question about 885 vs 886 springs but since there was already a related thread going it was better to put it there: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55038

I have a very similar question and I am guessing that people are going to also say to go with the 886, but I figure I mine as well ask. I have a double cab 4X4 with the 6 banger, but I am thinking I will run only a lighter (quite possibly AL) aftermarket bumper without a winch for some time. I...

Thanks. If someone wants to tell me how to edit thread titles I will change this one over. Otherwise I am just sticking to my story uninitiated or not. :smiley_drive:

Been searching around as I look to make a final decision on the shocks and keep feeling like I am about to get sucked down the slippery slope of coilovers. I am sure I would be happy with a Fox setup but am not sure its worth parting with the extra cash. I am not looking to race this thing in...

So I don't want to highjack this thread, but I have some RTT questions that I haven't been able to find answers to through searching and it seems like this would be a reasonable place to post 'em. If this ought to be addressed through a new thread I am happy to start one or maybe the moderator...

TacoDoc. Thanks for the welcome. I love your rig and your build thread. That thread is a great resource. One option I am seriously considering right now is a RTT mount that be pretty similar to your earlier setup. I think I saw somewhere that one of the reasons you changed was that it was a...

Applejack that is good to know. That all makes sense given my own experience running the truck loaded. I have managed to make the rig work for me pretty well with a full compliment of gear on some legitimate off road terrain here in the mid-atlantic. Most of my miles have been highway, but its...

Thanks for that link. I had seen that thread before. Has a lot of good info. My most recent musing on RTT mounting has been about possibly bolting the whole thing to a super heavy duty custom slide setup so that I could mount it over a gear storage platform just above bed rail height, but...

Quick protocol question So I have searched around a bunch, but still am new to this forum. If I have specific questions about my thinking on say my RTT mounting setup do to people recommend posting them on a the build thread or is it considered better to start a separate thread (or add on to an...

So I have been lurking around this forum off and on for the odd piece of advice the last couple of years. I found it to be a great resource just by using search functions, but since I am looking at doing a semi-significant build-out I figured it was was high time to actually sign-up and...
