Expeditions West 2004 Tacoma

[chet]

very good suggestion. your trailer will be unusable unless your tires are completely covered and flapped. frozen mud is no fun when trying to set up camp!

The Expeditions West Tacoma is nearly finished.

That's looking pretty awesome!! I like that the yellow & red from the Ezi-Awn cover match the colors of your kayak & mtn bike.

So, will you & Chris be doing some kayaking on the Arctic Ocean expedition??

Scott
Thanks for the answer. I was unaware there were differences. Of course, I don't have the desire to drive in sub-freezing temperatures also.





Also...sorry more questions. WATER Heater. By gas you mean petrol, not diesel? I know diesel in more commonly preferred b/c of it being more efficient. However, I do know it would also be an incovience to carry an extra type of gas along just for the water heater. What say you?





FINALLY...geeeshhhh
The Scott of a couple years ago said he was only going to use 33" tires. Something about too much stress on drivelines on the Taco. Not needing the extra tire size for expedition use. So, do you care to explain your reasoning? Was this a want or need? Was part of the decision b/c of the loss of clearance from the aux. tank?




Oh, and I still think of selling my 80 for a double cab (especially after this weekend-doh!)





Oh...Sorry...The Camino Del Diablo dvd is AWESOME!!!

Scott, your truck looks BAD!!! And those tires look BIG!!!

Well done!

The intention is to use a water heater which can heat the engine coolant, provide hot water, keep the water tank from freezing and provide heat into the tent via a radiant heater...

Much research to do though.

Just for fun

I will have a set of 255/85's for all long trips, the 295/85 for the Arctic and a set of 35x10.5 for the trail.

That is until I build my next "machine" :ylsmoke:

Let me guess what that might be, hmmm, a diesel powered JK unlimited perhaps?

:iagree:
You think?

Not ready yet!

Oh dear, I'm still digesting the Tacoma transformations!
Can't wait to read and see what the next "machine" will be :luxhello:

Cheers :beer:,

It is going to be a little while before the next big project. There will be an SUV replacement for Stephanie in the next 4-6 months though.

When I first read this, I was interpreting this as that you were going to replace Stephanie with a new SUV!! :hehe:
But after further consideration, I take this to mean that you will be replacing Stephanie's SUV. Any hints? FJC perhaps??
