    Lift Question

    I know this has probably been asked quite a bit, but looking for feedback on suspension options. I currently have a 2017 Tacoma TRDOR and I'm looking at options. I'm running an Alu Cab topper and an SSO slimline bumper and winch right now. Eventually I plan on adding a rear swing away and...

    270 vs Standard Awning

    I’m torn between which route to go on my Tacoma. Is the additional cost worth a 270? Also since screenrooms are few and far between on a 270 awning, would I be happier with a standard awning with screen room? The Carolinas can get a little buggie

    Tacoma rear suspension question

    I have a 3rd gen with stock suspension that I just put an AluCab topper and RTT on. I have the opportunity to be the test vehicle for a dual swing away rear bumper. I’m not planning on adding a lift anytime soon, and with the added weight I know the rear may need some help. What should I do...

    Second battery idea - what recommendations do you have?

    HA! I know it's a bit large, I plan on eventually moving it to my trailer. For now, it'll definitely work.

    Second battery idea - what recommendations do you have?

    I wasn’t planning on putting the battery under the hood. Just the charger, then run a pigtail with Anderson connectors to the box in the back. I can’t really sell that battery because there is a small indentation in the case. It’s not cracked at all, but could not be returned. @FJR Colorado ill...

    Second battery idea - what recommendations do you have?

    Thanks for the info. The battery is brand new. My dad could t fit the second battery where he wanted it so it became mine. As for mounting under the hood, I’m not tied to that decision and could absolutely mount it either in the cab or physically on the box in the truck bed. In terms of power...

    Second battery idea - what recommendations do you have?

    Hello, I have a third gen Toyota Tacoma that I have been slowly building. My father gave me a spare 200AH battery from an Airstream that he is restoring (bought at a steal...like $1500 for the trailer). I have built a simple battery box to power my fridge, etc, but I would like to add it as...

    Where did you source your slides from?

    Fridge slide in a truck

    I have a 2017 Tacoma that I am running kbvoodoo bed rack with at RTT and just bought an ARB fridge last year at NWOR (thanks Dana and Mule Exped. Outfitters!). I’ve been running without a fridge slide and it’s mildly annoying. So my question is, since the truck is my daily, how sould I mount...

    Front Runner Wolf Pack

    Anyone using these out in the elements? I'm thinking about using them, but I have a bed rack and RTT, so they will be somewhat exposed to water.

    Bed Cap or keep my bed rack

    I have to agree @roving1. I do like my rack for those very reasons...and I would love to have a habitat, but I need my kidney. I think I need to pair down my gear, change some out and get some better storage options and I would probably like what I have even more. I have kid number 2 on the...

    Bed Cap or keep my bed rack

    Yeah...I broached the habitat idea with my wife...note to self...$8000 expenditure to a pregnant woman is a bad proposition. I just want ease of storage. Getting bins out is a PITA.

    Bed Cap or keep my bed rack

    Those look clean. How do they do with rain? I have an ARB fridge so my setup would probably be different.

    Bed Cap or keep my bed rack

    Hi all, I currently have a 2017 DCSB Tacoma with KBVoodoo mid-height rack with my RTT on it, and I run a hodgepodge collection of bins to keep my gear in, and I'm thinking about switching out to a canopy. I think I would like to have drawers to help organize the kitchen and recovery gear...
