    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Also, what is everyone experiencing for a decrease in fuel mileage, as these are a semi permanent option. Anybody with a third gen tacoma with a manual specifically? Maybe just the Tacoma 3.5L auto? And has anyone been able to regain some mileage with a cab-roof-wind deflector?

All...

    My homemade overland teardrop

    I was originally looking to buy a base trailer or even do a 5x8 cargo conversion, but after minimal success finding an adequate base trailer, and when an unused 3500# dexter torsion axle came across facebook marketplace.
