    SLO flys for flippac

    One word of advice, ask them to add no see-um mesh on the vent holes...I sent mine back for them to add to mine. Bugs will get in between the fly and tent through the vent holes, then, since the whole bottom is bungeed they cannot get out that way and will end up finding their way into the tent...

    ECS Loadmaster Case - Waterproof Storage

    The website says 30 lbs, which I would say feel accurate (sorry, don't have a scale handy). It is defiantly not flimsy by any means, you can stand on it or stack things on it and it holds is shape.

    The 2016 Toyota Tacoma Revealed

    Get back to us in 3 yrs with increasing café regulations for "light trucks" and see if the Canyon/Colorado diesel option is still available (could be, but the trucks will have to have a larger footprint to get reduced regulations i.e. be bigger than they are now).

    The 2016 Toyota Tacoma Revealed

    A few comments having talked to the chief engineer when I was at the event (These are personal opinions, just to remind you haah): 1.

    Doc's 05 Tacoma Build Thread
