    2008 Tundra Overland Trailer Towing Advice

    You will be fine with the 5.7 and a 3-4000lb trailer. Your won’t need a WD hitch either. I live in the mountains of BC and deal with lots of big passes. I also own a custom trailer company and set client tow vehicles and trailers up regularly. The 2008+ Tundras are excellent tow vehicles for...

    is the 1st gen tundra one of the best platforms

    I have a 2.5 Gen Tundra and a 1st Gen Sequoia (03 Tundra in the past), and I agree 100% that the size and nimbleness of the 1st gens is fantastic. I also find the 1st Gen more comfortable than the 2.5 as well. We did a trip through Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah this fall, and took...

    2011 Tundra Front Bumper

    https://www.coastaloffroad.com/product-page/2nd-gen-tundra-high-clearance-front-bumper-kit/ Its a DIY kit, but you could find a welder to whip it up for you if you can’t weld. $650 for the basic kit.

    1975 F250 Highboy Crewcab 4x4 Project

    Looking amazing! You are in SoCal I’m guessing? I saw a pile of dent sides, bumps, and Mustangs across from the In N Out in Eureka last week. It’s good to see they are still out there. This pic makes me feel better about my plan to do a white/tan combo on my green ‘94 Bronco. You have...

    You planning on 25 AGM house batteries? Otherwise that 5500 is serious overkill for a Spacekap😂

    2002 Ford F-350SRW Recommendations

    What engine is in it? ARB bumper, some skinny 34” tires and whatever rear bumper you like. Do all the maintenance and get a few spares and go. For what you are describing, you’re almost there. Have a look at Sky Offroads shackle reversal kit for the front end. It comes in various lift...

    3.3l ford f150 vs 3.6l ram 1500, which would you rather own?

    I’d go V8 over V6 any day, but the 3.6 in the Dodge is where I’d land given your two choices. As others have said, fuel economy won’t be much different between the V6 and V8s in the “real” world. Yes, the 6s do better on EPA controlled tests, but reality based testing you might see 1-2 mpg...

    A return to the full size realm: ‘94 Bronco

    I’d rather eat broken glass than go on facebook. Every time someone sends me a link to some market place ad or whatever, it’s a disaster. I appreciate the thought though. Your likely correct about there being a group for Broncos.

    A return to the full size realm: ‘94 Bronco

    I joined FSB a week ago. I guess I’ll dig deeper over there.

    A return to the full size realm: ‘94 Bronco

    If that’s the best option, I’m on my own. There isn’t much activity over there.

    A return to the full size realm: ‘94 Bronco

    I guess I’ve been “sort of” full size still with a 2019 Tundra on 35s and a done up Sequoia, but all that Toyota reliability is soooo boring! I remedied that by picking up a ‘94 Bronco EB. I believe it’s a 5.8 with 3/5s of an E4OD. That means I have 1, 2 and R. No D or OD. I do however...

    My new ‘94 Bronco. Going to duct tape the coil buckets up and leave for Patagonia in the morning!
