    4runner rock slider that is also a step

    I’ve been happy with the white knuckle off off-road slider steps I put on my ‘18 4Runner. I don’t aggressively off-road this truck, but it gets used and the sliders have taken a few decent hits without flinching. And same story, the rest of the family needs the step feature. The steps do...

    Strength of a truck bed, 2.5 Gen Tundra to be specific.

    No comment on the strength of the bed, but I don't think you'll find there's "no set up time" by sleeping under a canopy. I've never had a canopy that was dust proof. So even when camping in it I'd pack up all my sleep stuff when moving locations so it wouldn't fill with dust. Also, when...

    What direction did you head when you outgrew your 4runner?

    Closing the loop: have a hand shake agreement to buy this once the owner is finished having his insurance fix some small body damage from a claim he opened months ago. Decided to keep the 4runner as the daily. And, very sadly, my 1 owner 1st gen Tacoma that's been an extra truck since car...

    What direction did you head when you outgrew your 4runner?

    Good thoughts everyone, thanks. Only a few more camping trips left before the snow start flying so it's a less pressing need. After borrowing a few buddies trucks and parking them in the garage I've come up with my tentative plan. The big trucks rock for trips and work. Less fun to daily and...

    What direction did you head when you outgrew your 4runner?

    I really should spend some more time investigating the HD models. I drive F-450s at work, so the size isn't intimidating, they just seem like so much more then I need. Haven't been in a 3/4 ton in a long time though, I should add it to my list to take for a test drive. Thanks.

    What direction did you head when you outgrew your 4runner?

    We tent camp or sleep in our roof top tent on a utility trailer. No real changes planned in that regard, maybe a small travel trailer but anything bigger then the 4runner would pull anything we'd get just fine. Pre-kids we had a Four Wheel Camper that we loved but outgrew. Maybe when they get...

    What direction did you head when you outgrew your 4runner?

    Getting to the point that my 5th gen 4runner is feeling cramped. It does a little bit of everything well (not great), but after getting back from a week long camping trip it's hard not to start looking elsewhere. Family of 4. Two little kids that keep growing, a dog that has stopped growing...

    Pitchblack Motorsports - 2010 Sequoia rally support and light adventure rig

    Nice looking rigs. What are you finding for real world fuel range? Towing and non-towing?

    The Right Toyota for Alaska with a Camper and a Toddler

    Honestly, you can do most of what’s driveable in Alaska in a Subaru. Once you get “off road” you need something that’s ******** on the road. Be that a mud truck on 44+”tires or an atv, it’s not going to be a tow rig you drove up from Denver. So a well maintained sequoia with good tires would be...
