LightForce 240 Impressions

Theses lights are simply amazing. Wiring with their harness was a breeze although I opted to use the OEM dash switch for a clean look.

I highly recommend these lights!

My digital camera has been UA since OVX... odd since I rarely misplace gear but it's MIA nonetheless.

When it surfaces I'll do some day and night pics guys, stay tuned.

Which 240's did you get, the XGT HID's or the Blitz non-HID. I am wanting to get the Blitz. I already have the APM from COB Motorsports that I am going to wire them in with but it is great to hear that the Lightforce wiring harness is nice and easy to use also.

I got the 240 Blitz Halogen

Coming Soon: On Board Air

After much deliberation and research, I finally took the plunge and ordered a Viair 400C from Wil at Sierra Expeditions :wings:

The goal here is to hard mount the compressor inside one of the boxes in the FlipPac out of the elements, and have a remote on/off and air hose attachment point.

This is going to be a nice upgrade over my old ebay special

What a fascinating read! I've been researching Sprinters, 4x4 Sportsmobiles, Jeeps, Tacomas, FJCrusiers, Trailers, RTTs etc. The wife and I have discussed the various advantages of each.

Well, I can't wait till she comes home tonight to discuss your labor of love.

Would you be insulted if you saw me southbound on the 5 in an exact mirror of your Tacoma? Just let me know, that way I'll build mine in white ...

Semper Fi! from an old 0311 from Horno (BLT 3/1).

I hope to cross your path one day.

No insult at all, see you on the trail! :beer:

Awesome build!!! One of these years I am going to emulate your build into a full size dodge and take one very long road trip.

Toyota Scheduled Maintenance Guide Online

I saw this today and thought it would be good to share with my fellow Toyota gearheads here. Just input your year and vehicle and the service interval you need.

Special Thanks to BajaTaco!

I'd like to post up a special thanks to Chris Marzonie for taking time out of his busy schedule to come out to Joshua Tree awhile back and shoot the truck. He has graciously provided me with a cool new avatar pic from the shoot.

And, Chris's photos of the Tacoma just might be featured in the Summer 2010 issue of the Overland Journal! :wings:















I'm pretty stoked! :victory:
